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

I mean, yeah, after you got a hysteria lady.

[–] MTK 26 points 5 days ago

Lol, you can still do that, just call it "the truth that big pharma doesn't want you to know"

[–] [email protected] 80 points 6 days ago (2 children)

"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..."

[–] AFKBRBChocolate 61 points 6 days ago (7 children)

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.

[–] disguy_ovahea 43 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] roguetrick 23 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] disguy_ovahea 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Duh. Uterus is Latin. Thanks. I’ll edit for clarity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I had to look it up myself lol

[–] disguy_ovahea 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] disguy_ovahea 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] disguy_ovahea 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Have you been talking to my therapist? Lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] disguy_ovahea 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Not after that Hoffstadtler presentation mishap, no.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

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

[–] Dadifer 8 points 6 days ago

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

that still exists today in Turkey

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Well in that case

Merhaba, bugün doktorunuz olacağım. Lütfen eteğinizi kaldırın, iç çamaşırınızı çıkarın ve her zamanki pozisyonu alın.

Gobble gobble

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Can you tell us more? It sounds legitimately interesting.

[–] iAvicenna 2 points 4 days ago

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!

[–] Theharpyeagle 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

You’ve piqued my interest and now I want to know, too!

[–] disguy_ovahea 44 points 6 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Credit to John Mulaney for this joke

[–] Decoy321 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] Decoy321 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

You are quite welcome!

(I'm helping! Yaaaaaay!)

Edit: Found the old version, just to provide actual help.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] Sam_Bass 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sadly (or not), they werent making shit up, they actually believed what they said

[–] GladiusB 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] Sam_Bass 4 points 5 days ago

Yep. Thats a demographic that has gotten a whole lot more exposure lately

[–] snausagesinablanket 10 points 6 days ago

Not to leave out covering your forehead in leeches to suck out evil.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There is a ghoti swimming in your veins

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Do you have a ghoti-ing licence for that joke? Wild ghoti must be preserved, you know!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Let’s not forget, keeping your ear to an ample bosom “listening” for heart sounds.
