‘It is rule 62 of the Olympic Charter that we have to have a condoms story,’ says IOC spokesman Mark Adams
You can only do missionary in Italia! Condom is ungodly.
All because of Jimmy fucksalot and his massive cock
he dropped his magnum condom for his magnum dong.
It’s ok. They have AIDS drugs now and dudes can’t get pregnant
You think there are no female athletes?
I’m astounded so many of you cannot pick up the sarcasm in, “it’s okay to get AIDS” and “women what?”
At times, I swear the levels acumen here flirt with Facebook’s.
I think Lemmy has a higher than average percentage of neurotypical people who don’t pick up sarcasm at all.
I’m astounded you’d assume the average sarcasm detection acuity would be much different here than on Facebook.
There’s no correlation between having a federated account and high sarcasm detection success. Poe’s law wasn’t developed out of sheer boredom.
It has nothing to do with one’s ability to detect text tone better than another cohort. It is simply using the brain for a split second to evaluate which is more likely; a pro-AIDS misogynistic Lemmy user, or someone taking the piss on the fact Lemmy users are much the opposite.
It is clearly “Amiright, guys?” character humour and really only requires some minimal effort to realise that.
Though, at this point it really doesn’t matter as those that think for themselves by looking at what others thought (the vote counters) will contribute by following suit.
Well this is certainly refreshing. Enjoy your weekend!
These are athletes in top condition. There are probably less STDs than the general population.
That attitude has you going home from the olympics with 5 STDs
“Did you bring home the gold?”
“I brought home something”
Young, fit and healthy athletes, following intense build up and cumulative training are ready to peak explosively, just about now.
In France, they gave 300k condoms. That’s 30x the amount they gave here. And they used them all in France, how long the fuck did they think those 10k would last?
For what it’s worth, there are more people at the summer Olympics than the winter ones (~10,500 in Paris and ~2,900 at Milan according to Wikipedia) but still one would think there should at least be 1/4 as much if they’re just looking at athlete numbers alone.
10k for 20 days of olympic and for 3k athletes that is 10k * 2 / 20 / 3k = 1/3 of a condom per couple per day, that sounds down right reasonable for a bunch of young, perfectly shaped teenagers constantly in celebration mode.
I wouldn’t want to share a condom with two other couples each day. That’s barbaric. /j
I think Brazil gave out 400.000
You want more olympians, this is how you get more olympians.
Um, that’s not how condoms works.
If only they didn’t run out of them.
this is how you get more olympians.
If enough people are in the market, have egg or sperm donor companies call people who medal.

Looking down the road, because my expectation is that sooner or later, we’re going to be doing human genetic engineering, a company getting Olympian genetic material like that might be — as long as they can operate in a legal jurisdiction that doesn’t prohibit human genetic engineering — better off just calling up medalists and licensing their DNA. I don’t think that you can copyright DNA under current US case law, though it might be patentable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_status_of_genetic_sequences
As of 2016, genetic sequences were not recognized as copyrightable subject matter by any jurisdiction.[3] The United States Copyright Office’s position is that “DNA sequences and other genetic, biological, or chemical substances or compounds, regardless of whether they are man-made or produced by nature,” are ideas, systems, or discoveries rather than copyrightable works of authorship.[15]: 23
You might not need to copyright or patent it, though, if you can just keep the changes you make secret. I mean, you get sperm/egg from Random Person, you do your proprietary modifications, you generate an embryo, you implant. I’m not sure how hard it would be for some other company to reverse-engineer the changes by looking at people’s DNA relative to background noise in the DNA.

Seventy-five out of 96 countries prohibit the use of genetically modified in vitro embryos for initiating pregnancies, known as heritable genome editing. Some of these countries have exceptions. In 2014, researchers Motoko Araki and Tetsuya Ishii analyzed the regulatory landscape of human embryo editing across 39 countries, revealing diverse approaches. As of a 2016 article in Science, Australia and Belgium have introduced legislation to either restrict or prohibit germline engineering. Despite the hurdles in the path of creating genetically engineered babies, many regions remain devoid of legal barriers, raising concerns reminiscent of the film “Gattaca”. A study by Baylis and collaborators reviewed policy documents from 106 countries, highlighting variation in regulations surrounding germline modification. Recent findings in The CRISPR Journal indicate that around 70 countries categorically ban heritable human genome editing, while some countries, including China and the United States, allow gene editing for non-reproductive purposes. Conversely, 19 countries, such as Belarus and Canada, have instituted bans on gene editing trials targeting human embryos, showcasing the patchwork nature of global laws on this issue. Regulatory frameworks differ significantly by country; for instance, some nations employ the principle of substantial equivalence regarding genetic engineering. Notably, heritable human genome editing is prohibited in over 70 countries and is further restricted by an international treaty from the Council of Europe. A review found 29 countries with outright legal bans on genetic editing. The legal status of such practices varies markedly, creating an inconsistent regulatory environment worldwide, particularly concerning the National Health Act in South Africa, which has ambiguous implications for human genome editing.
The thing is that in practice, if you want in vitro implantation, you can probably just travel abroad to a jurisdiction that doesn’t prohibit it, unless countries assert extraterritorial jurisdiction that attaches to their citizens. If someone wants an Olympianized kid, I imagine that traveling abroad isn’t that much additional barrier. Extraterrorial jurisdiction exists, but it is very rare; prohibitions on child sex tourism are one notable example that a number of countries do.
Forget in vitro, just CRISPR that shit into my DNA!
Take it from me, you don’t want to go down the “eugenics” road…
I have a feeling it’s gonna be a long road, getting from here to there with eugenics. I’d much rather use technology to overcome our limitations.
I would like to overcome my limitations in this fashion. Aside from my tongue and naughty bits, the human body doesn’t offer me any experience that I enjoy.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my Flesh
Wishing to become just a brain in a robot body sadly misunderstands the totality of the human body. It’s been shown that gut biome affects mental health, for example.
I would watch the cybernetic olympics.
Eugenics have a bad rep since they were popularized by nazis. But hey - animal rights and identification documents were also initially nazi ideas and they gained traction.
I just hope, that when eugenics come back to public light again, they will come out of EU (regulated to hell and back) instead of USA or China. It’s one thing to eliminate genetic diseases or such, but completely another thing with steering people into some dystopian genetic hellhole.
Sir, we did it, we got Olympian sperm!
Excellent, what sport?
Shot put
Fuck.


Seems fine to me.
lol I didn’t mean anything by it, if those two had a kid it would be a real life Gaston
Best souvenir going. But also a lot of young people in peak physical condition. As someone I know commented “everyone is 10/10 from the neck down.”
And those people have higher than average testosterone, so they’re hornier. Apparently Olympic Village is a small orgy, hence all the condoms.
There are 3000 people there. That’s no small orgy.
They’re not all shagging at the same time
Of course not. They have to get dressed to compete at their other sport at some point.
10’000 is super low, I remember hearing about one or two hundred thousand in recent years. I guess that was regular and not winter, but still. No wonder they ran out.
Winter Olympics, probably fewer people than the summer Olympics, where they had 300k.
That’s less than 4 per athlete, not sure why they thought that would be enough.
Per athlete or pair of athletes? I’m too lazy to Google
Per athlete. It’s about 6 and a half per male athlete.
Which poor guy has half a Dingdong?
You got the numbers backwards. This is one guy who has 6 and a half condoms worth of dingdong.
Why do you specify “male” athlete?
Unless being used for onanism, it’s one condom per couple, although trios and other combos, and non penetrative sex probably fudge the math a little).
Because we have statistics for how many male olympians are there, but no stats for how many couples are there. It’s worth remembering that olympians don’t have to shack up with other olympians. Many of them brought partners, and I would bet at least a few are asexual.
My thought was “per olympian penis”, but I admit it doesn’t account for non-olympian penises.
So, women aren’t likely to bring a condom to a fight?
If you are a woman, agreeable to sex, and don’t carry condoms for your own protection, you are an idiot.
They ended up only having a little over 2 per athlete after Condoms Georg took 4,000 for balloon animals.
While I don’t doubt many athletes are being quite active.
I’d also believe it’s a joke at this point for them to all take as many as they can no matter if they intend to use them or not.You roll initiative onto someone and they pull out one of these bad boys, and I call that a ‘power move’.
A few years ago an athlete said in an interview that they are Olympics branded condoms, so he stuffed his backpack full of them
Let them. How is this not huge free publicity!
That is what I imagine too, stuffing handfuls of them to a bag to give to friends etc as a cheeky present or keep as a trophy to impress dates.
There was an article a few years ago where a few athletes were interviewed anonymously IIRC. It’s a fuckfest. You put a lot of people in peak physical shape together, what are you expecting?
Also people who by and large havent been out living wild social lives for quite a while. Laser beam focused on one goal. Once you have competed, one way or another the pressure is off and you are surrounded by people who are in the exact same position.
you are surrounded by people who are in the exact same position.
Or, due to physicality and flexibility, some new positions!
And I find condoms past the expiration date.
I don’t see why condom companies aren’t shipping in truckloads for free. You can’t beat that kind of publicity. L
You can’t beat
🤔
This reads like the startn of Dr Seuss erotica
I found myself in Italy
They said we could have condoms free
All partnered up by two or three
Everyone partook with glee
But now none are left for meSo hearken friends
My luck portends
This story ends
For me unfortunatelyI skied directly into a tree
Then rolled the dice in the dormitory
It now burns badly when I pee
I hope my mom is proud of me
I only brought home an STDThat’s great
Check who took them. Could be people from poorer countries, where condoms are expensive.
Could be random religious zealots who are envious (or worse) of people actually heaving sex.
10k literally just isn’t enough. Summer Olympics where there are 3-4x more athletes tend to have hundreds of thousands in stock.
No problem, they can get fingered by the Canadians
I wonder why they don’t carry some from home lol
