    In my country someone did an unofficial dub of Superman (1978) where a subplot was changed to Clark Kent miraculous semen used as massage rub against back pain. (Title changed to “Sperm-man”)

    Maybe this guy accidentally watched this documentary with machine translated subtitles and got the wrong idea

      According to the article, it was his own

      Apparently back pain was an ongoing problem for the gentleman, and he’d come up with a rather innovative plan to treat it by introducing his own ejaculate intravenously and intramuscularly.

      For the previous year and a half he’d been giving himself a monthly shot of his own self-made tonic. In the wake of his most recent bout of back pain, he had even upped his dose to several injections

          What I don’t get is people peddling testosterone. It absolutely fucks your IQ score (not saying you can’t be intelligent with high T) and it doesn’t do anything useful above the moderately below male baseline levels (maybe better looking beard or something).

            also many people’s bodies eventually start producing other hormones more to get back to baseline. at that point you can’t stop or it’s straight to Nippletown, 10 minutes north of Micropenis city

    Okay, so, I like humanism, I don’t want people to die and all that.

    But am I an asshole for secretly wishing they’d just let Darwin Award winners like this one remove themselves from the gene pool?

      they got hit with severe pain out of nowhere.

      it’s funny when I had regular migraines and still have stuff to do but have to do them in pain. but when my partner got one she called an ambulance and thought she was dying…

      she didn’t learn about empathy that day, I still had to mow them lawn with a migraine. because having a silly headache isn’t a real excuse.

      getting hit with sudden severe pain out of nowhere you get desperate and whatever you do can and will be moked.

        That is all true, but desperation combined with a bad understanding of scientific facts and the unwillingness to at least make sure injecting your own semen isn’t a very bad idea, that’s no excuse.

          no doubt he wasn’t the brightest bulb beforehand.

          you never know what stupid thing will do when you’re desperate enough.

          if anything, I’m holding his medical team responsible if he got that desperate.

          unless he’s actually stupid enough to ignore all the good advice and gone straight to the stupid desperate stuff first.

            I’m guessing he hasn’t consulted qualified people about his idea. Because those would have told him FUCK NO, don’t do it. Which puts him firmly into the category of deserved Darwin Award candidate.

              yhea, probably not for this exact case.

              however, getting your condition ignored into you are desperate and so something stupid only to them be made fun of isn’t a solution either.

              hope he’s ok now,

      I’d argue that being a humanist you would want the species of human to be able to propagate itself and continue moving forward If we stop the evolutionary process that is survival of the fittest that it’s truest form then we are by definition muddling our own ability to survive as a species.

        Have you seen what’s been coming out and making to the top for the past 200 years. I think we’re way past this point when we keep trying to find excuses to keep slowly burning us alive.

    What could have possibly been the logic there? Like with clowns who shot up bleach to fight COVID at least that was a cleaning supply that kills viruses and germs.

      I still think about the dude who repeatedly put massive amounts of paraquat on his balls, and died, instead of just getting some antibiotics.
