      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?

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

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

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

        I assume it was a him? right?

    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.

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

        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.

            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.
