Someone needs to recreate the old "Millennials to Snake People" browser extension but make it "Testosterone to Precious Bodily Fluids"

Years ago I did some internet digging to try to look up the maker's marks on the assorted cast iron skillets I had accumulated from thrift stores, and I'm pretty sure one of them is from the 1930s.
