This could’ve won an IgNobel if it were real.

No, an IgNobel winner first makes you laugh, than makes you think. This just makes me laugh.

It makes me just think… 🤔😏

I’m so sad this wasn’t real.

we quickly encountered problems in sourcing willing volunteers for our study, however, and the ethics committee was adamant that the use of unwilling volunteers would result in disciplinary action.

Gold. I’d volunteer 🤤

I’m sure if someone was making a real study like this, they would get it accepted somewhere with proper peer review.

We are going to have to science the shit out of this one

Endovegephilia is such a cursed word.

wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io on 21 Sep 10:59 next collapse

So where’s the market on this one? We going to start seeing these on grocery store shelves or am I going to have to buy this discreetly?

Personally, I’d prefer farm to table.

Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world on 21 Sep 11:08 next collapse

Farm to table or farm to anus

wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io on 21 Sep 11:20 collapse

No thanks, I’m not that into farmers.

xylol@leminal.space on 21 Sep 12:50 collapse

Thats anus to farm

qaz@lemmy.world on 21 Sep 11:57 collapse

I’m not sure demand is high enough yet for farm to table. I’m expecting DIY grow at home kits to launch soon though

prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 21 Sep 13:26 next collapse

Lol @ the one with the tail in the last pic

I’ve discovered a fundamental flaw in this study. A few reasons people use carrots is that they are cheap, and they are discreet. Presumably this variant would be significantly more expensive. Also, nobody thinks you’re buying a regular to pleasure yourself, not the cashier, not your wife.

Bro what in the “i want to remove my eyes” fuck is that

When asked to elaborate on if carrots would be involved in any discipline researchers were told to “Get out.”
