I got this new anime plot. Basically, there's this high school girl except she's got huge boobs, I mean some serious honkers. A real set of badonkers. Packin' some dobonhonkeros. Massive dohoonkabhankoloos Big ol' tonhongerekoogers. 'What happens next?!' you ask? Transfer student shows up one day with even bigger bonkhonagahoogs. Humungous hungolomghnonoloughongous.
Will this be like viagra? Where it starts off with one purpose but the main side effects end up as the desired ones?
Occurrence is too low. One day their will be a way to inject a boob growth drug, among other "enhancements".
If that comes first or "bespoke babies" with gene editing comes first is a coin toss.
One day small boobs will be uncommon and I find that unfortunate.
I doubt that. There are both men and women who prefer small.
What might happen, is that whatever cultural ideal becomes contemporary, is also what most people will opt for, but that won't mean people on the fringes of the bell curve stop existing.
I find it more likely that if big breasts become "easy" to get, the ideal will simply shift to something else, as the rarity is part of the appeal.
If a trait becomes common, at least some portion of people lose interest.
re: gene editing
Ummm what kind of deranged psycho would sit in a doctors office and specify:"I want my daughter to have huge tits!"
Sitting US President, probably.
A mom that grew up with small ones. Ladies traumatize each other for that.
Have you met humanity? Once it is introduced, it will take two generations before it is common.
Speak for yourself
turns around with massive cans
I don't think that that many women want bigger boobs. I have more friends who dislike having big boobs vs small boobs.
Extreme back pain and problems with too big boobs. In the EU the cirurgic reduction of too big boobs is paid by the insurance, precisely to avoid bigger costs due problems caused by heavy weight boobs. Poor woman in the US there they have to pay the costs for the reduction, so they stay as TV Freaks smashing cans and melons to gain some money. Mental problems apart, which woman want such boobs?
You know that's a conservative trying to get fired while wearing prosethics, right?
He, and it's definitely a he pretending to be trans so they can sue when they get fired, is literally playing out the Ms. Garrison script from South Park.
We already have drugs that increase breast size, they just have the primary purpose/drawback of inducing lactation.
It doesn't say explicitly that this happened to BOTH boobs. It's entirely possible that this only happened to one of them.
The paper includes images of the patient and specified it was bilateral.
TITIL
So just give them the shot in the other arm next time. Duh.
Actually, as far as I know, this condition can be really painful (back problems especially) and also a psychological burden. So all the best to everyone who expiriences gigantomastia.
However, just imagine the positive impact if this news had been known and gone viral during COVID. Think of all the young adults wanting to try out the vaccine for themselves, influencers doing fake "I got big boobs from the vaccine" videos (and therefore advertising the vaccine), maybe even less people doing those "virus parties" that some idiots did. Kind of like the "if trees would produce wifi, they would be planted everywhere" scenario.
I mean, we don't really know, because it didn't happen, so I could be very wrong about this. But it could have been good.
Some men were avoiding the covid vaccines specifically because they believed it makes men sterile. As one of my neighbors said in reference to a family down the road who lost two adult sons (and cited sterility as the reason they didn't want to get vaccinated), "They definitely aren't having any kids now."
"dude my dick grew 4 inches longer after taking the shot!!"
If you need to see the images for science https://doi.org/10.1097/gox.0000000000006399
Yes, funny big boobs image, but reading the report she needed blood transfusions at two different times post surgery.
This isn't a "how do we recreate this" occurrence, this is a "how rare is this and how do we make sure we can test for this reaction so someone doesn't go through this again."
If this has happened to any other tissue in the body, I would be concerned about the lethality of this specific reaction.
You are right of course.
I guess most replies were just for the title and never bothered to read the actual document.
Yes, yes, but we live in this timeline so the research that will be done into the mediating factors will 100% become a "breast enlargement therapy" in health spas should it even remotely be found to be repeatable, controllable and safe be damned.
From B to GGG! Holy shit! That's fucking insane. I thought we were talking about some general swelling sort of on the order of what happens with pregnant women. And it happened within a 6 month period? I can't even begin to comprehend what that must have been like. She would have had to have woken up every morning with a noticable increase in size. I'll bet it started out as a "wow, this is a nice little perk" and very rapidly escalated to "WTF!". I also really like that the all fixed picture is waaayy bigger than the original B size.
She definitely said "yeah, you can stop there"
Holy shit that is terrifying. I'm glad the woman got the breast reduction (and somehow ended up with bigger honkers at a healthy size lol, from B to GGG back to D)
I've never seen any one studying sudden breast growth now that I read this... Hope this doesn't get me into some weird rabbit holes
Conspiracy theorists weren't even close to what Pfizer real plan was
Pfizer did nothing wrong! Stop RFK Jr.'s anti-"big mommy milkers" crusade!!1!
Dude!
This solves the entire vaccine issue in the US. The Republican types are all about women needing to look like women, so advertising that a covid shot gets you big jugs will immediately want all of them have the shot.
Double dose is double D's!
Stupidity aside, it's interesting to see that there might be a possible link between these two, not something you'd expect, I think.
It will backfire since none of the men will take it. Perhaps herd immunity can be achieved if all sensible men and women take it and all non-sensible women take it.
Maybe we should hope for some cases where men get a really huge dingdong, them all of the sudden there will be a run for it.
I hate this world
B to GGG in a few months? That's almost a b-movie horror plot.
This sounds umm fast? Like, we are not supposed to grow quickly. Not what humans do.
Skimmed the article. It happened over 6 months, starting from 1 week post-vaccine. Started with a tingling feeling. Patient grew from B size to GGG. Breast reduction was performed to reduce the size to DD, with further reductions being discussed at the time of publishing
Patient grew from B size to GGG
For anyone who isn't so cooked to go "hehe big boobs" that's absolutely terrifying amount of growth. DD is quite large to begin with but probably about the limit for avoiding back and other problems. Also finding sexy bras for even just DDs is hard enough I can't imagine the cost and challenge of finding specialty bras for triple-Gs
Oh my goodness glad I didn't hear that before getting the shots. I'm already a K cup, my back would grind into dust if that happened!
My condolences to your spine.
Pics or it didn't happen
I took part in stage 3 trials of another COVID shot and didn't get anything like this lmao. I feel ripped off.
I went from nothing to B cups after a few shots!
Then again, maybe the estrogen helped a bit, we never know
This year's vaccine sounds like it will do a great job at protection.
Sorry if you live in an area you cant just walk into a CVS...
PASH? 😆 really??
Why couldn't it have been me 😭
Shit. That's a terrifying case in so many aspects.
At least it was in an auxilliary place in the body with well-established surgical procedures. Such swelling would have been deadly almost anywhere else.
But yes, that also makes it terrifying. Now anyone who knows her IRL can find her topless pics online and threaten to reveal her identity.
A good argument for vaccine mandates!
