Nature, Published online: 27 March 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-00982-2

Minuscule particles with the ability to cross hard-to-penetrate barriers can be loaded with drug treatments to target intractable diseases.

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

  1. I don't have to know what's in my eye drops.
  2. I don't put pig semen in my eye without evidence that it will help.

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.

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

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...

Of course it doesn't have to be pig semen. What other kind of semen did you have in mind?

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?"

I think it’s important to know what the delivery method is. Are we talking a dropper, or you know, something else.

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

It sounds more like a sugar-caretaker relationship.

Sure, if you don't mind sub-optimal freshness. Some people are more refined than that though.

Maybe they tie the pig down first and beat him if he doesnt submit?

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".

Maybe it was one of those accidental discoveries.

It's hard to picture an accident where pig semen was put in mice eyes.

3

I imagine it was a series of discoveries that led to one... Very weird conclusion.

Ooh! Ooh! Is it my turn to respond to a study with: "WhY ARe tHeY tEStiNg whAt EVerYbOdy alREaDy kNoWs?!"

I’m . . . I’m just gonna go with the cancer then. I guess.

so.. uhh.. who had the job of jacking the pigs off?

my brother had a girlfriend in college who was a biology major and had a job where one of the things was collecting.

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:

Splooge!

Yeah... right in the face! You like that mouse? Yeah, you like that? You're a dirty little rodent... Are you ready, here comes round two.

We reached out to the mice as well, but they declined to comment.
