If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"
Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.
Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.
We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.
See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.

Thanks.
The Pudenal nerve block,as mentioned before, is used to block the nerves of the pelvic floor. It is actually not that uncommon but I have never seen it being done on someone with a penis - it's sometimes used for episiotomy or to stitch up tears that already happened in woman that did not get a epidural. The old,non sonography based method is actually used quite often in countries with less accessible modern healthcare.
What's the lore behind this pic?
Well, not sure what you mean for certain.
However, nerve blocks are used to reduce pain, or reduce nerve signals.
The pudendal nerve services the general pelvic floor, iirc. I know that it can get impinged and end up causing a wide range of problems, with chronic pain being the most common.
By injecting the nerve and surrounding tissues with medication, you can reduce or even eliminate that.
Back before ultrasound, you'd have to palpate to feel the site to know exactly where to inject. The image shows the approach used to do so. Afaik, nobody does it like this nowadays. It's all done with imaging, with ultrasound being the default to the best of my knowledge.
In other words, if yo junk is burning, taking a finger up the ass and a needle in the taint might actually be better.
Why is the patient erect, though?
Wouldn't you be?
And circumcised as well. Weird not to show one fully intact in medical literature.
One thing is for sure though, someone spend quite a lot of thought on that dick.
The balls are spectacular as well. Taut, and full.
I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, but this is what peak male performance looks like.
I know, right? That two-inch monster erection might be the reason they had to block his nerve.
What a freak of nature!
The nerve!
The chap is lying on his back, with the peen lying on his belly. Sorry to disturb your happy life :(
That's his fetish.
It's just laying on the stomach
They used a variety of reference pictures.
Science diagrams that look like shitposts.
I meant to ask what this is about.
Is there a Lemmy community for that? Or do I have to make my own?
Hell yeah.
🥴😩
