Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin

Peter

So I’m sure many of you have heard about the new wonder drug Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin. It’s a new treatment for both leprosy and SARS available in droplet form. It can be given orally, by IV or as a suppository.

New research suggests it's an effective treatment both for the common cold and trauma due to lightning strikes. It’s been thoroughly tested on animals who unfortunately all died [unpublished study]. Many doctors are now using it as a first line treatment for MI, MS, ME, COPD, HIV, PE and DVT.

Off label uses include reversing impotence and performance enhancement in combat sports. Unfortunately it’s list of common side effects include nausea, vomiting, alopecia, heart attacks, homosexuality, and supernumerary gynecomastia. However it’s excellent cost point has made it popular with NHS GPs. Even for cases of AIDS and pubic lice.

Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin is made from the cerebellar cortex of a genetically modified bison, improves strength and intelligence and is an effective antidote to ricin. The Minister of Health, we hear, will shortly be advising: take Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin!

  • I feel it should be obvious why a community dedicated specifically to autism wants things to be clear whether they are serious, or sarcastic.

    If not allow me to explain. Detecting sarcasm, especially if you don't have much knowledge of the subject matter, is hard enough in person, let alone over text, and particularly for autistic people. To you these things may be obvious, but that doesn't necessarily follow for the whole community.

    I read your previous post before it was edited, and if you were trying to be sarcastic in that I couldn't tell despite having subject knowledge. 

    I can see why it was considered outside of the rules and was taken down. If you were being serious, there are other platforms that don't have these rules to talk about it on.

    Even with this post, I've seen people post similar things on other platforms, and it really wasn't that different from the extremes you are going to here, and they were serious. Some people genuinely believe in 'all cures', or at least make a good enough pretence to try and sell them. That's why I'm not on those platforms any more.

    I understand why you're irritated with having your post edited, and I doubt this post is going to improve how you feel about it. But I wanted the moderators to know I agreed with their decision and wanted you to at least see this point of view, as someone who does have difficulty telling when a post is serious vs not.
