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.

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

No worries! I didn’t take it as such. I meant the comment itself was mocking me. I knew better.

Oh, yeah, that feeling sure is fun... especially when it catches a hyperfixation wave.

Have you been talking to my therapist? Lol

No we just gone so crazy that you don't even remember I'm you buddy! Try and remember on Wednesday, it's embarrassing when we don't check the mirror on our way out the door, can't have that happening again.

Not after that Hoffstadtler presentation mishap, no.

You’re fun. I hope you and your girlfriend have a great weekend!

Lol thanks! I feel the same. Enjoy what's left of your weekend too!

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

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I think you responded to the wrong comment

Is your username a modem interpretation of OMGWTFBBQ?

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I'm not sure I've seen that one, but it does seem to have the same vibe.
