People will often say that Viagra is not a funny drug. However, this couldn’t be more incorrect! In fact, there are so many different memes when it comes to taking Viagra that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make a list of them. Keep reading for some hilarious examples of how much fun you can have with Viagra.
The Sausage Roll
Viagra is most well-known for allowing men to have prolonged erections, which is why it is commonly referred to as a “little blue pill.” That being said, you don’t need to take Viagra to experience an orgasm, which is why it is also commonly known as a “super pill.” The fact that Viagra can be used for both sexual stimulation and health reasons makes it a truly versatile drug. One of the most interesting things about Viagra is that it was originally developed to treat angina. However, in the 1990s, a group of researchers found that there were several cases where an erection had lasted for several hours, which is why Viagra is now used to treat sexual dysfunction.
What is angina? According to the Mayo Clinic, angina is “the pain or discomfort you feel when the muscles in your chest don’t get enough oxygen. It can be brought on by stress or anxiety and usually goes away once the trigger is removed.” One of the primary symptoms of angina is extreme chest pain. This pain can be severe enough that it prevents you from breathing comfortably. In some cases, the pain can be so severe that it causes heart attacks and even deaths.
Did you know that there are many different kinds of angina? The Mayo Clinic lists them below. Do you have chest pain that could be caused by one of these conditions?
- Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease
- Chronic heart disease
- Infectious endocarditis
- Marfan syndrome
- Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Sarcoidosis
- Spinal cord injury
- Valvular heart disease
If you’re experiencing chest pain and don’t know what is the root of it, it can be very helpful to consult with a doctor. He may be able to diagnose your problem and help you find a proper treatment. Keep in mind though that not all cases of chest pain are caused by heart problems. Some of it may be due to respiratory problems or even food poisoning. Always consult your doctor if you’re not sure what is causing your discomfort.
The Human Touch
The Human Touch is a television show that follows various scientists as they try to reproduce the abilities that a human being’s most basic form of touch has. The show’s purpose is to find ways that science can help people with disabilities. Below are just a few examples of how scientific research can help the human touch.
- Tactile social skills training via virtual reality
- Wearable robotics
- Deep brain stimulation
- Speech prosthetics
Many people feel that VR could be the future of social training. If you or someone you know is undergoing social anxiety disorder, they could benefit from tactile social skills training via VR. This is a form of therapy where a person uses a VR headset and controllers to interact with digital avatars that represent people or animals. The avatars are controlled by the person using the headset and can respond to verbal commands and tactile touches. This allows them to practice social interactions in a safe and controlled environment. In one study, researchers observed that participants that used VR for tactile social skills training reported a significant improvement in their social skills.
Wearable robotics are slowly taking over the healthcare industry. This is because they can be more effective and less invasive than traditional forms of healthcare. For example, they can be used to monitor patients’ heart rates, blood pressure and oxygen levels, as well as to provide therapeutic stimulation where needed. Companies like HealthTap and Jeevo have created digital coaches that can interact with patients via text messaging, email and social media. One of the interesting applications of wearable robotics is in mental healthcare. For example, patient’s with PTSD could benefit from wearing a headset that monitors their brain activity and triggers adapted responses when necessary. These devices could also be adapted to deliver therapy and provide continuous monitoring of a patient’s progress.
Deep brain stimulation has been around for a while, but is still considered experimental. This is because the treatment for epilepsy and other neural disorders is performed using neurosurgery. However, as technology improves and the risks become more acceptable, more people are trying this treatment. Deep brain stimulation involves implanting electrodes in the patients’ brains, which are then connected to a pulse generator. These devices are able to continuously monitor and regulate the patients’ moods and feelings. As a result, depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders are often treated with this therapy. However, one of the disadvantages is that the treatment is highly invasive and requires surgery.
Speech prosthetics are also used to supplement or replace missing speech capacities due to brain damage or disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. In some cases, people with these disorders can lose the ability to speak completely. However, with the help of speech prosthetics, they can still speak, but may have difficulties doing so naturally. Companies like iSpeech have created devices that can be worn like a mask and used to control the speech processes of the patients. This can help them speak more naturally and feel more comfortable using their voice.
The Magnificent Seven
Remember ‘The Magnificent Seven’ – the old Hollywood stars who helped to improve race relations by volunteering their services for the American Civil War? Well, it turns out that there are actually seven magnificent men who deserve a place on this list. In the early 1800s, the Civil War broke out, resulting in many lives being lost and much suffering. At the time, there were very few opportunities for black people to serve in the military, so it wasn’t uncommon for them to join the fight alongside white men. One of the significant factors in the Civil War was racism, as white people felt that they were fighting for their lives and those of the whites-only society that they lived in.
Did you know that people of color have served in the military since the Revolutionary War? They fought for their rights and those of other people of color, and today it is considered an honorable thing to do. Unfortunately, racism still exists in many forms and places, even in 2019. In fact, a 2019 World Economic Forum report found that racism is preventing the global economy from achieving its potential. In the report, the WEF identified “structural racism,” which it defines as “forms of inequality that are inherited and exist outside the people affected by them.” Examples of structural racism include “the lack of diversity in top positions across industries,” as well as “geographical segregation,” where people are prevented from interacting with others of a different race or ethnicity due to where they live.”
If you’re wondering how racism can prevent the economy from growing, it’s because of the stigma associated with it. According to the Harvard Business Review, “people with less exposure to different groups are more likely to hold biased beliefs about those groups,” which can result in them avoiding interactions with members of different races or ethnicities. That, in turn, can prevent businesses from expanding and creating more jobs. It also prevents people from getting the education they need to thrive in today’s society.
The Graduate
The Graduate is a 2003 American romantic comedy film directed by Billy Crystal. It is the remake of the 1969 British comedy film of the same name, which starred Michael Caine and Susan Harris. The film follows a newly graduated medical school student, played by Charlize Theron, as she tries to navigate her way through the complicated world of dating in New York City. The Graduate is one of the most remembered films of the 21st century, thanks in large part to its extremely memorable scene where a group of attractive women open up their legs and display their genitals to the camera. This scene was parodied in the 2006 South Park episode ‘Reverse Cowgirl’ and was voted the 2nd funniest thing ever in a 2006 TV Guide reader’s poll.
