    Is Musk going to try to rig the proceedings so he can claim victory?

    if you don’t want this in your browsing history:

    Eric Zhu, the company’s 17-year-old co-founder, said the inaugural event would pit samples taken from two healthy young university students against each other on a racetrack 20cm (8in) long and modelled on the female reproductive system.

    honestly, I’d watch it. That sounds hilarious as fuck

    This very much feels like a sport invented by men trying to find a new way to express their masculinity without doing the obvious thing: learning to be emotionally literate.

    Maybe I’m wrong and I hope I am, but this feels like the result of Andrew Tate culture

    Similar to dog racing where they have a rabbit running ahead of them for inspiration, will they have a clam staged at the finish line?

    Finally, a sport gay men can enjoy.

    Well, other than college wrestling.

    Zhu founded Sperm Racing with Nick Small, 16, head of the business management consulting firm Stealth; Shane Fan, chief executive of the NFT pricing platform Waterfall; and Garrett Niconienko, former content strategist for the YouTuber Mr Beast.

    Well, that explains a lot

      I, for one, think this is fun. And much more ethical than horse racing.

    I don’t even want to give them the clicks for this.

    Is this about 2 guys, 1 girl, and 9 months to find out the “winner?”
