We did this after space travel and programming language.

[-] drail@fedia.io 24 points 7 months ago

It seems like a great way to send ~50% of the babies birthed out in space. Just remove the net, speed it up, and tilt it 90°, then you have a coin flip chance at space babies or crater babies.

Have you ever read anything so absurd that you just start laughing uncontrollably but it's after midnight and you don't want to wake your spouse so you real quick clamp down to hold it in and then your gut hurts from all the heaving?

[-] drail@fedia.io 2 points 7 months ago

Sometimes it is worth the brief verbal abuse and getting slapped with a pillow by an exhausted SO.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 21 points 7 months ago

This is due to underrepresentation of women in science. Sure we send a phallus to the moon before this.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 10 points 7 months ago

Sometimes scientists think about if they could, not if they should.

[-] Tagger@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

I think calling the designer of this contraption a scientist is being very kind to him.

I assume it was a him? right?

[-] evidences@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I just looked it up, it was apparently a husband and wife team that patented it.

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 4 points 7 months ago

this one got an ugly laugh out of me, thank you.

[-] drail@fedia.io 45 points 7 months ago

I pitched this exact idea to my fiancé a few days ago (and have no clue why it came up). she didn't think it was a good idea, but now I can tell her that it was good enough to patent.

[-] Deestan@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago

Don't knock the Vomitron until you've tried at least one birth in it

[-] drail@fedia.io 9 points 7 months ago

Helps with pregnancy nausea AND child birth! Just flip the seat direction and you are ready to expectorate whatever you want out!

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 10 points 7 months ago

Which is good news for her, too, since in this case you can't just build it yourself

[-] drail@fedia.io 8 points 7 months ago

She and I don't want to make kids, so it isn't immediately applicable anyway. That being said, I am an experimental nuclear and particle physics PhD student, so I am at least 85% sure that I could convince my boss that we need a medium size centrifuge in the lab and make some... adjustments... upon completion.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 4 points 7 months ago

If you really don't want to have kids, sure! This sounds like a good plan

[-] drail@fedia.io 3 points 7 months ago

We (maybe) want kids, she just doesn't want to ever be pregnant, so adoption is our route if anything.

This would be the worst of both worlds: A pregnancy that we don't even get one of the little shits from! She'll have to deal though, science demands that we try it at least once.

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

I mean, what about easier poops?

[-] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

Does this work for constipation?

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

Not with a net, you'd need something sturdy and not full of holes to catch the turds

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 7 months ago

And you better hope to God that the machine doesn't slow down in such a way that the shit falls back onto you.

[-] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Yes... A finer net perhaps... 🤔

[-] Hootz@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

Brown mist, nope.jpg

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 21 points 7 months ago

...and why aren't we funding this? Effective AND fun!

Bad and naughty babies get delivered in the pregnancy spinner

[-] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 15 points 7 months ago

I'm guessing this was before anyone realized that shaking babies is a bad thing?

[-] Willy@sh.itjust.works 19 points 7 months ago

shaking is not the same as spinning.

[-] Cypher@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

I see a you know how to make Martinis

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

What about a few Gs on an unformed skull?

[-] Willy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

skulls are really flexible when that young. forceps are used and deform skulls. lots of things do at that point, even “normal” birth. they usually bounce back into pretty good shape.

[-] occhionaut@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

why did "baby badminton" pop into my mind

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

Mommy? How was I born?

With about 250 RPMs, Honey.

Backstory of Furiosa

[-] FuryMaker@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

Zoidberg, what are you doing in here?

Zoidberg: I live here.

[-] 2deck@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Well thank goodness.. there's a net

[-] tourist@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I want to see a test run with a pillow case and a watermelon
