  “your hot wife obviously is suffering from sexy demons. I need to use my specialized equipment to vigorously purge them from her, once each evening, and sometimes just after lunch…”

    That sounds far fetched until you remember that they diagnosed women with hysteria and treated them by giving them orgasms. When the vibrator was invented to treat muscle pain much later, doctors latched onto them for treating hysteria to give their hands a break.

      Absolutely. Hystéra is Latin for uterus. Hysteria, or the “roaming uteri” theory was a successor to Plato’s theory of hysterical suffocation. They believed that the uterus could migrate around the body, placing pressure on internal organs.

      I think that makes up for a lot of bad things that were done.

  The only logical solution is for me to blow pipe tobacco smoke in your butthole.

    They used a vibrator because they did not want to get tired.

  Credit to John Mulaney for this joke

  • Decoy321@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    This joke has been around a lot longer than he has.

    Also, this image is a knockoff of a decade old meme, but made worse by adding a lot more words.

  Sadly you could still do this today and charge insurance in the US as long as people don’t care you’re charging their insurance.

  Something about the phrasing “you should do a lot of cocaine about it” really tickles me. I wonder what you call breaking grammar rules for humor like that.

  Today they advocate for Keto and lab grown meat

  source

  • CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Unless you’re referring to fake meat like impossible burger, what is wrong with lab grown meat? Does the nutritional value change when cells are cloned or something?

    source

    • Bezzelbob@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Most notably the fact that it grows so quickly by utilizing cancer cells, also that this is the exact same scenario as the cigarette epidemic, no one knows what exactly are the side effects since this has never been done before, were trying to paly god without knowing the implications. Also i find it ironic how most people stay away from preservatives and artificial chemicals because “theyre bad and make in a lab” but will happily down man’s attempt at playing god
