“You got hysteria lady, time for a finger blasting session.”
They used a vibrator because they did not want to get tired.

I’ve never heard that term for an intern.
“Vibrator my boy, can you come in and help this lovely lady?”
I mean, yeah, after you got a hysteria lady.
Lol, you can still do that, just call it “the truth that big pharma doesn’t want you to know”
“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 Greek 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. It’s like gynecological fan fiction.
When pregnant that’s a pretty good explanation of what it does though. Uterus just tells everybody up to the diaphragm to get outta the fucking way.
Greek, not latin
Duh. Uterus is Latin. Thanks. I’ll edit for clarity.
I had to look it up myself lol
I couldn’t remember the spelling of the Greek word, so I looked it up yesterday for that comment. I searched “Greek word for uterus” and then wrote Latin in the comment like a dingus.
Not only was Plato Greek, but Latin words that end in “us” are pluralized with an “i.” It was all right there mocking me. Lol
Wasn’t at all mocking! It wasn’t even me who caught it. My GF was like “Hmmm, thats too internet-only-fact” and looked it up. Just passing it along cause I sure as shit didn’t know lol
I think that makes up for a lot of bad things that were done.
Greek, not latin
I think you responded to the wrong comment
Is your username a modem interpretation of OMGWTFBBQ?
I’m not sure I’ve seen that one, but it does seem to have the same vibe.
oops. Yup
that still exists today in Turkey
Well in that case
Merhaba, bugün doktorunuz olacağım. Lütfen eteğinizi kaldırın, iç çamaşırınızı çıkarın ve her zamanki pozisyonu alın.
Gobble gobble
Can you tell us more? It sounds legitimately interesting.
well your regular small scale religious cult leader being the main point of contact for every health concern (because they set up shop in a very rural area with a lot of religious conservatism and limited health care). People go to them for all sorts of reasons and when you are a female the general answer is you are infested with demons I can help you personally in my bedroom. It is especially ironic when they go to this person because a female cant get pregnant and then voilà!
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.
You’ve piqued my interest and now I want to know, too!
The only logical solution is for me to blow pipe tobacco smoke in your butthole.
Credit to John Mulaney for this joke
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.
Edit: the older version
Thank you for your input.
You are quite welcome!
(I’m helping! Yaaaaaay!)
Edit: Found the old version, just to provide actual help.
You’ve got a horrible infection and a fever?
I’ll be right over to slit your veins and let all the bad blood out.
(In fairness I think bloodletting was mostly out of practice by the time actual telephones existed, but lol joke)
Maybe a more time period accurate one would be:
Your foot hurts? You think its from a badly fit shoe. Ok. Ok. Come over tomorrow and we will stick your foot into the wildly overpowered and unshielded x ray scope and we’ll see what can be done.
Sadly (or not), they werent making shit up, they actually believed what they said
So do the crazy people
Yep. Thats a demographic that has gotten a whole lot more exposure lately
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.
Not to leave out covering your forehead in leeches to suck out evil.
There is a ghoti swimming in your veins
Do you have a ghoti-ing licence for that joke? Wild ghoti must be preserved, you know!
Let’s not forget, keeping your ear to an ample bosom “listening” for heart sounds.
Today they advocate for Keto and lab grown meat
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?
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
Where did you heard that? The only sources I’ve been able to find about lab-grown meat being made out of cancerous cells are tik-tok videos.
All articles I’ve read talk about it being made out of stem cells.
Not calling you a liar, and you have a point that this is something really new and we do not, in fact, know the long term consequences. But I couldn’t find any reliable source to your claim.
And since I know the meat industry will do anything in its power to stop lab-grown meat from being a thing, I wouldn’t trust just “rumors”.
But I guess we should all be a bit skeptical of any claims both for in favor and against.
Are you questioning the results from the TikTok Journal of Advanced Biological Studies?
You won’t find any scientific papers specifically saying cancer because the only papers (in any industry) are the ones that that owner (the company) can profit from. I don’t think I need to go into how every company for the last 100 years have been doing this.
The reason they don’t have to specifically say it’s cancer it’s because of a legal loophole. It’s the same reason delta 8 thc can be sold in gas stations but delta 9 is federaly illegal, or how docs can give out percs, oxys, etc but not heroine
Stem cells aren’t really cells per say, they’re more of a blank canvas that can be turned into whatever cell they want… the issue tho: stem cells are EXPENSIVE. doing some rough math, the average placenta can cost 30-50,000 dollars, which can hold 10-50 million stem cells, an 8-ounce steak roughly contains about 289 million cells. So assuming every since stem cell was successfully turned into meat that would mean an 8oz steak would cost 46,136,100,300,000,000,000 USD. Also this doesn’t take into account growth time. So instead they use cancer cells to try to simulate meat since cancer cells grow 3x faster and with less maintenance, which is saving them an incomprehensible about of money
At the end of the day, it’s the same legal loophole they use to sell delta 8 in gas stations, while delta 9 is on the same level as heroine
Did you know there were abostos-filtered cigarettes?
