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

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.

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

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

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

That is astoundingly good, well done

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

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.

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.

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 pts · 134d
Of course it doesn't have to be pig semen. What other kind of semen did you have in mind?
P00ptart@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 134d
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?"

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

What the fuck are you dipping your pork rinds in
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 7 pts · 134d
pig cum. you don't?
Codpiece@feddit.uk · 10 pts · 134d
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 pts · 134d
why complicate things, if the delivery method is already provided by nature?

I mean they paid for its feed, yes. And its housing and everything else.

It sounds more like a sugar-caretaker relationship.
SippyCup@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 134d
I mean we could use an eye dropper... unless.....
human@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 134d
Sure, if you don't mind sub-optimal freshness. Some people are more refined than that though.
lb_o@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 133d
It is still a "dropper" in both cases.
JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 134d
Maybe they tie the pig down first and beat him if he doesnt submit?
P00ptart@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 134d
An apple gag sounds appropriate.

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".
floofloof@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 134d
Maybe it was one of those accidental discoveries.
Quilotoa@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 134d
It's hard to picture an accident where pig semen was put in mice eyes.
P00ptart@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 134d
I imagine it was a series of discoveries that led to one... Very weird conclusion.

Pig's semen delivered
Straight to the mice
kreskin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 133d
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.

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

The article quotes a statement from the pigs:
We reached out to the mice as well, but they declined to comment.
