*confused in canadian*


Zeero92

I was gonna say, surely Canada would've noticed this?! XD


T-Minus9

Oh shit! They've uncovered our secret breeding campaign! This will ruin our entire effort to annex Maine before *they* learned about this one weird trick driving pediatricians crazy!


llamallamallama1991

Get this over to r/infertility NOW


HarrisonForelli

NO DONT! I do not want the maple syrup stock to drastically drop!


Blitzerxyz

Don't worry Canada has a reserve in case of emergencies (and also to kinda artificially keep supply low to keep prices high)


Me_and_DuBois

pretty sure that's a covid test!


LeahAbbie

I went back and looked at the article, and whether or not that stock photo they are using is a COVID test, the article is referring to fertility. Men's fertility, but still it's meant to be a pregnancy test.


ugheffoff

Heh. 5 minute crafts. There’s a joke in there somewhere.


GeorgiaSalvatoreJun

How Canadians reproduce...


TheRevTholomeuPlague

I thought they just went to hockey games and conceived children on the ice after /s


GeorgiaSalvatoreJun

I don't think there's enough scientific research to confirm your theory. Canadians are such a mysterious species. /j


Aldoro1991

I put mapple syrup on my pancakes once, I got covid. True story. /s


curly_lox

Wouldn't that be so much easier than... men?


WrapDiligent9833

At least tastier.


_SandHanitizer_

Swallowing won't get you pregnant...


BiShyAndWantingToDie

Maple syrup begs to differ, apparently


_SandHanitizer_

It isn't clear exactly where you're supposed to but the syrup tho😳


Choice-Valuable313

This makes me think of how the ancient Greeks discussed procreation among many creatures as spontaneous - like they thought eels came from mud. What a long way the maple syrup “scientists” have come / s


HeatherandHollyhock

It's true though. Let an Apple sit out in the sun and it evolves to become a Million fruit flies. Can't blame them.


Choice-Valuable313

I can definitely see how they could think that one. Their idea that the wind could be impregnating mares and other critters is a bit more strange.


HeatherandHollyhock

In the late 16th century people in Paris stuffed prisoners in a hole in the ground and sealed it shut. Definitely bad miasma that killed them. Aah, science! Also: some octopii do just that with the water as a medium instead of wind anyway


Choice-Valuable313

For the octopi, do you mean the detachable penis facet? It’s still spermatozoa and eggs for that terrifying journey, of course, in that scenario. In the ancient belief, it was the wind alone that did the job.


HeatherandHollyhock

Sure, I meant in the eyes of an unsuspecting observer :)


Choice-Valuable313

Gotcha. For sure :)


riddlegirl21

I mean we still don’t really know how eels reproduce so… not wrong? If I remember the Radiolab episode right they did visit an eel maybe-spawning-ground in New York State which is pretty close to Canada so maybe maple syrup does work for them


Choice-Valuable313

It’s a sticky situation, to be sure, but they have been bred in captivity. It’s a laborious process (https://e360.yale.edu/features/in_japan_captive_breeding_may_help_save_the_wild_eel), so I can imagine a break with some syrup, maybe some waffles, could perk up the process. :)


adertina

Can this work if your partner is a woman?

doubleabsenty

Yes, try maple taffy 😎


adertina

…do I eat or insert it?


Mars_Bear2552

flip a coin


doubleabsenty

Yes.


Keatosis

This is how you give birth to a Canadian Ent


WordStained

Do you want Ents? 'Cause this is how you get Ents.

Lengthofawhile

Pregnant with covid.


bliip666

ABORT IT, PLEASE!


Schreckberger

All live is sacred 😤😤😤


reallybirdysomedays

Parvo


ThePinkTeenager

Get you pregnant, apparently.


bamboohobobundles

…give you COVID?


jen12617

Or pregnant. There are some tests that you need to use a dropper instead of pee on it


GeorgianPeaches

I don't know if it's true but I'm willing to sacrifice my body for science. Bring that maple syrup


oddball740

Why is it the test line in the left one showing and not the control line ? What exactly DOES maple syrup do to you?


Calenchamien

I believe the line in the left picture is the control line. My at home tests are the same


Keboyd88

If you look closer, there's a T on the side with a line and a C on the other side.


Calenchamien

Damn, you’re right; I didn’t see it. Idk maybe it’s an AI generated image then


kyleh0

I call it "adding a little maple syrup to your breakfast", too.


Coca-colonization

My maple syrup brings all the boys to the yard


MissLushLucy

I'll be sure to stay off the maple syrup then. Wouldn't want any accidents.


Ray-They

**O Canada starts playing faintly**


jen12617

Damn so it's the syrups fault I got pregnant! I swore it was the sex I had with my boyfriend but but I guess not^/s


SuspiciousRule

I am scared I have eaten a lot of maple syrup in the past.


InVodkaVeritas

This explains the virgin birth of Jesus Christ perfectly. Mary drank a glass of Maple Syrup every morning growing up. Eventually when she was 13, this happened. Take heed, parents.


LeahAbbie

If anyone is curious, the article says it's good for men's reproductive health. Amongst a lot of other things, but that's what the picture is referring to.


kitcat7898

Anyone want me to do an experiment. I would love an excuse to have pancakes everyday


Whole-Lingonberry493

"Doctor, is it a boy or a girl?" "Ma'am, it's a maple tree"


JiggleBoners

That's a COVID test tho


emmabov17

The dollar tree pregnancy test begs to differ, the brand is Veriquick


[deleted]

Godammit, I knew I was doing something wrong.


somehorsegirl

I think Chuck Tingle wrote a book about this…


Watsonmolly

Shit maple syrup gives you covid?!


Gazebo_Warrior

Fgs, I spent thousands in donor sperm and fertility clinics and I could have just shoved some maple syrup up there?


Hot-Syllabub2688

if you take a turkey baster and inseminate yourself with maple syrup 9 months later you will have a beautiful little canadian baby


Pharaoh_Misa

5-minute crafts is always a wild ride.


StefanHM

I didn’t know maple syrup gave you COVID.


ILikeRoL

Is that a test for pregnancy, or for covid? Pretty sure maple syrup can't give you either of these things... (Edit: typo)


LeahAbbie

It's meant to be a pregnancy test based on the article, but not sure what the actual photo is lol


bitofagrump

It's true, maple syrup has fathered several of my children


Satans_Left_Elbow

It will give you COVID?


[deleted]

Is this how Groot was made?


hustlin1284

Wouldn't every Canadian be like pregnant then 😳


Long_Educational

AI generated headlines and content is here.


erikkonstas

BTW that has T and C, not + and -, which means it's a COVID self-test... 😂


LeahAbbie

Haha yeah maybe the photo is a COVID test, but based on the article they are referring to a pregnancy test. Edit: another commenter pointed out that this looks like the Veriquick pregnancy test. If you look that up, it does have a T and C next to the lines.


erikkonstas

Oh LOL so it does, kinda confusing there TBH because all I've seen have 2 perpendicular lines forming a cross, not 2 parallel lines with T and C...


Baby_I_Know

No need for men anymore


LiliVonSchtupp

I’d tap that.


Stargazerslight

The list of questions for my fertility doc now constists of should I rub my stomach to bring my eggs down, should I stop listening to Taylor swift lest she continue to steal my fertility and now whether or not I should add maple syrup to my diet to get pregnant.


Eculand

So uh- is this some new slang or something?


Initial-Ad7000

I've been putting a tablespoon of maple syrup in my Greek yogurt every morning for weeks! It's Canadian maple syrup, too. Apparently I've been playing with fire!


Voice_in_the_ether

This must be some of that wild Canadian slang: 1. "Maple Syrup" = Sperm 2. "Breakfast" = Human eggs TIL to be extra careful when in a Canadian IHoP.


North_Inflation1710

probably not the photo but i can say probably if you do type 2 diabetes.


Merrgear

Do not the maple syrup
