Damn. Didn’t think semen would… survive? those temps. Don’t think semen is technically alive since it can’t reproduce. Or is that kinda the opposite since it is specifically made for reproducing? E: Just looked it up and sperm is technically alive but not an organism.
Single cells like that or germs can often recover with minimal issue when exposed to low temperature. It’s why we freeze sperm and why the permafrost will release lots of fun for us pretty soon.
Zooming in the tank says “liquid nitrogen” though… I mean, it could probably store other liquids, but that seems to be what it was built for.
Its not a tank full of semen, nor liquid nitrogen.
Its a device for storing semen containers, which uses liquid nitrogen as a coolant.

This guy cools semen.
It taste best that way.
…and that’s how it fell off. Later on I got the surgery, HRT, yada yada yada. Yeah, we’re happy together.
How is it that you need to post that under a totally unrelated comment? Insert vegan meme here that has not told anybody for three hours.
Completely missed the joke, huh?
People need to know how it happened!
How long do you think sperm stays viable at room temperature?
