The articles tone is like the Register but on vaginas. It's hardly serious and full of innuendo. For serious discussion, link to the scientific article?
It also contains useful information. I don't think it's too much to ask HN users to respond to the useful information and filter out the innuendo. Think of it as a community test.
Yes please. The piece gave the impression that it was written by a 12 year old with an English major. It’s incredibly annoying to read such childishness on such a serious topic.
You're not wrong, but one of the skills we're here to build is containing annoyance, rather than venting it into the commons. I think this is an interesting occasion to practice that.
"In the afterglow of successful fecal transplants, researchers are now sniffing around vaginal fluids for the next possible bodily product to improve health—and they’re roused by the possibilities."
Were the article authors attempting to be funny, or were they seriously going for the worst-sounding opening paragraph to an article on fecal and vaginal microbiota transplants?
I don't think it's commenters' fault if the article's... you know, like this, and they comment on how it's like this. Topic's fine but if commenting on the article's not OK then it should be different article.
No, it seems to be on purpose and the puns just keep going south.
> "If they work as researchers hypothesize, they could rub out many common problems at once. And based on what we know of vaginas, they could be far less messy than transplants involving poop."
