If you haven't seen it: On the left is Progynova (a drug that provides Estrogen) sold in mainland China, and on the right is "Debian installation media box".

@aleksana "If you allow me to interject for a moment, what you are referring to as estrogen pills is in fact lactose/estrogen". ;)

aleksana :pusheenwalk:

@dmbaturin Lactose? It is estrogen with a valeric acid group. However, this valeric acid group will be removed during liver metabolism, and the final effect is estradiol. So you can understand it as a sustained-release tablet of estradiol.

@aleksana I mean the filler in the tablet. Very often it's lactose.

@dmbaturin @aleksana EVIL estrogen pills that can ONLY be taken if you are not lactose intolerant

@aleksana @Metaph
@BestGirlGrace for some reason this feels relevant to your interests

Fun fact: Debian transliterated into Chinese sounds like "得变", which means "you have to transition" in this context.

@aleksana now we need a Dreamcast accessory to go along with the pair

Now that I call an interesting coincidence. 😎👍

Estrogen stable - boring, predictable
Estrogen testing - Warning, some bits might fall off
Estrogen sid - You turn into crazy cat woman

@aleksana literally was wondering if I should transition to debian recently, and this is an extremely convincing argument :bunhdlurk:

@aleksana This nearly implied that the drug packaging was designed after the Debian media box, but if I machine translated the text correctly, it's actually the reverse.

Note to Fart Patrol re: ⬆️ above post ⬆️

The post text is almost exactly what I would have written as AltText, and the post awesome enough, that I'm waiving my rule about boosting AltText-less images.

Naturally, I've also seized the image for redistribution.

Neener neener.

@aleksana help I got the two confused and installed debian on my girlfriend.

@aleksana Oh look another big corpo who didn't respect CC-BY-SA licensing 👀

aleksana :pusheenwalk:

@yvg Are there any logical assumptions about the order of left and right in English? Of course I'm talking about the right side being copied from the left :blobcatgoogly:

@aleksana oh yes my brain might have played a trick on me. Then the author might be in breach of BAYER's copyright 😅
