ever heard of Silphium?
No. Should we have?
Well its interesting.
lul
I cant really say you *should* have heard of it
😄
Until you mentioned it, I didnt find the word familiar
So tell me about it
Its a plant that was used as birth control in antiquity.
To the point of possible extinction.

Oh, that sounds like some serious shit
In this context, namely by the romans.
woot
Makes sense
Did women take it or men?
🤔
the romans faced the same problem we do today: decadence and complacency
>inb4 permanently sterilized men
eventually they looked their version of the comet in the face and did what we would do today: just fuck and do copious amounts of drugs
Origin of the ❤ symbol
Greek. In the 6th-5th century BC, the heart shape was used to represent the heart-shaped fruit of the plant Silphium,[1] a plant possibly used as a contraceptive[2] Many species in the parsley family have estrogenic properties, and some, such as wild carrot, were used to induce abortion.[3] Silver coins from Cyrene of the 6–5th BC bear a similar design, sometimes accompanied by a silphium plant and is understood to represent its seed or fruit.[4]
I imagine if men took it wouldnt completely sterilize them considering their constantly producing semen
Interesting
🤔
