Scientist trying to find an excuse for when his colleague didn't knock first and asked what the hell he was doing with that pig

if you're allergic to pollen, that's just bukkake. pollen is plant sperm

[–] DonPiano@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, pollen is actually more like a separate generation of the plant, a (micro)gametophyte. They are whole organisms that produce sperm when certain conditions are met.

So it's a whole bunch of organisms just waiting to get sperm out, hanging out in your nose

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

yeah technically animal sperm is "a whole separate generation" as well, just that that generation only produces single-celled organisms!
