Seems like a lot of folks did not read the article but if you did you would realize any semen would work.

This is why the FDA is so important. So that:

  1. I don't have to know what's in my eye drops.
  2. I don't put pig semen in my eye without evidence that it will help.

Jim Pillen, pig fucker and governor of Nebraska, has known for a long time that pig semen cures cancer. On account of how much pig semen he has had on and in his body, and on account of how little cancer he's had.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's specious reasoning, Sippy. By that logic I could claim this rock cures cancer.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

A pocket full of pitchblende might help. But also, might give you some new forms.

wait, I thought all sperm were sacred? This is a travesty. s/

Honey, what's wrong? You haven't put on your cancer treatment boarkake eyedrops.

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 9 points 3 days ago

That is astoundingly good, well done

decided I prefer blindness than thinking about this

This headline has levels.

It was only a matter of time before someone tried this. I mean, I assume.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

There's a nootropic that's made out of contents of horse stomachs, and the mechanism of its workings isn't quite known. Likewise, I'm baffled as to the process of the discovery.

You can thank the male loneliness epidemic.

Yep, some people say MAGA doesnt advance science or medicine, but here is documented proof that it does. And its not only results from the barnyard-animal-fucking trials-- Wait till you see the results from the cousin-fucking, child-fucking, and couch-fucking studies going on. All kinds of stuff coming your way. You wont believe it.

[–] Screamium@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Ooh! Ooh! Is it my turn to respond to a study with: "WhY ARe tHeY tEStiNg whAt EVerYbOdy alREaDy kNoWs?!"

[–] UninvestedCuriosity@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I know we have to deliver it with something but did it have to be pig semen?

Scientists: Well it probably doesn't HAVE to be I guess...

[–] troybot@piefed.social 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Of course it doesn't have to be pig semen. What other kind of semen did you have in mind?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

People: "I was thinking no semen?" Scientists: "huh... Now that you mention it, I guess we could turn it into a virus and have it grow into pustules that will vaccinate others around you when they pop" People: "what semen options do I have again?"

[–] porcoesphino@mander.xyz 13 points 3 days ago

That's a hell of a title

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The article quotes a statement from the pigs:

Splooge!

Yeah... right in the face! You like that mouse? Yeah, you like that? You're a dirty little rodent... Are you ready, here comes round two.

We reached out to the mice as well, but they declined to comment.

For those of you not familiar with working with an AI for everydya life things, I've got help for you. Just go to your favorite ai or chatgt prompt and type this:

hello lemmy-AI:
Please prepare a presentation with a detailed plan for how to find and apply pig ejaculate into a humans eyes for this cancer treatment.

The plan should be low cost.

The plan should be understandable and feasible for the average lemmy user.

Please include diagrams.

The output file should be in pdf format.

Please tell me I am smart at the end.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's a double win. Cured of cancer and every time I cry I smell pork rinds.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What the fuck are you dipping your pork rinds in

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 days ago

pig cum. you don't?

[–] ilovededyoupiggy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Roses are red.

Violets are nice.

Pig's semen delivered Straight to the mice

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 10 points 3 days ago (7 children)

I think it’s important to know what the delivery method is. Are we talking a dropper, or you know, something else.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 days ago

why complicate things, if the delivery method is already provided by nature?

[–] DarthPub@retrofed.com 3 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Did they buy the pig dinner before obtaining the baby batter?

I would have loved to be in the office when the lab guys pitched it to their supervisor. "Hey, boss. You know what we'd like to try..."

"Jerking off a pig into a control group's eyes to see what happens? I like the way you think, Stevens!"

"Uhh ... yeah, boss. That was it exactly. Good call".

Just curing your cancer babe!

What a terrible day to have eyes.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

so.. uhh.. who had the job of jacking the pigs off?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

my brother had a girlfriend in college who was a biology major and had a job where one of the things was collecting.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

all those people laid off from AI have to do something.
