Yes, the vaccines are… Are you feeding that baby unpasteurized milk?!? What the fuck, guys?
No we’re feeding the baby unpasteurized goats.
With or without added helium?
Tbf, breastmilk isn’t normally pasteurized
EDIT: If you can’t figure out that this comment is humour, you seriously need to go outside and touch grass
And it’s immediately consumed usually, or is frozen and its composition differs from cows milk and is designed for human consumption.
Don’t know why you brought that up, unless it’s to point out how stupid people are thinking unpasteurized cows milk is drinkable because human milk doesn’t need to be.
Also, unlike cows, humans generally tend to give lots of outside signals of having listeriosis.
They’re less likely to have shit on them, too.
I hear thats a good way to determine if some one is King as well.
Bloody peasant.
There it is. Now you can all see it! This is the violence inherent in the system!
That’s true. That’s not what listeria though, but it does cause most of the other scary milk diseases.
I think it was a joke. A little levity in the midst of all this chaos and intentional hardship.
Yes, the deal with dairy farmers drinking the unpasteurized milk from their cows daily is that it’s consumed within 24hrs and then replaced with the next days milk.
RFK is a dipshit and MAGA is likely running with him for two reasons. Cutting FDA regs, insurance policing, fluoride, and vaccines save money. (Put another way, it keeps “their” money where it belongs, away from the working class.) It also thins the herd in the continuing decline of available resources while the planet fails.
is designed
No design was involved in the process of evolution
Don’t know why you brought that up
It’s called humour. And some people in the comments actually got the joke.
It’s obvious that “unpasteurized milk” is referring to cow’s milk. Don’t get pissed at me when you can’t understand humour.
And before you say anything, we’re in a memes community. It shouldn’t be a surprise that people are trying to make jokes here
From those two numbers I think you need to work on your comedy routine. It was a bit…. curdled
Went tits up
Now that was just sour.
It could possibly be from your clueless comment making me out to be satan.
It was a bit…. curdled
Your sense of comedy is far, far worse than mine.

Nah, it’s that saying things that actual morons think isn’t funny
Are you saying that breast milk is normally pasteurized?
Because that’s what your comment implies
Don’t cry over spilled milk 😂
More sycophants 🙄
No sense in trying to argue with people like that.
Agreed.
It typically is pasteurized if it comes from a woman other than the baby’s own mother. If it is donated milk, for example.
I did not know pasturized breastmilk was a commodity product.
I lol’d.
Poe’s law, my dude. There are definitely dipshits who make the argument that milk doesn’t need to be pasteurized because breast milk isn’t pasteurized.
A joke doesn’t work when it’s indistinguishable from the stuff that people actually say
You are on a written medium, where there is no tone, body language, or otherwise wider context. What do you expect to happen? People can’t read your mind
or otherwise wider context
The knowledge that the issue with people drinking unpasterized milk happens with cow milk is the wider context.
I’ve literally seen people argue that since breast milk is unpasteurized then raw cow milk is fine
Grass is not pasteurized.
Internet was a mistake. It gave all the anti science people and crackpots a platform for their ideas.
Making it easy was the mistake, the internet was great when knowing what tcp/ip actually is was a barrier to entry.
Gatekeeping isn’t a dirty word.
This also exposed just how many stupid people are out there. We all assumed that making infinite knowledge available would be the rising tide which lifts all boats; instead, the rising tide is a tsunami of idiocy and willful ignorance.
I know that I was completely wrong in this regard. You know, like how Mark Twain said something like travel was anathema to bigotry.
So, I thought that the reason bigotry existed was that people are afraid of the unknown, so if you forced people together, they’d have to realize that we’re all the same.
But now I realize that the main reason bigotry exists is that people are staying in contact with other bigots. The part about meeting diverse people is important, but far less important than pulling people out of their comfort zone to combat bigotry. So, the internet amplifies bigotry, because they’ll never be out-of-contact with their local bigots, even if they travel away from them.
Can we please just make network that has a higher barrier to entry than spending 1000 dollars on an iPhone but through a 4 year loans?
And before some c suite fuck head reads this, I don’t mean cost more money. I mean cost just a tiny bit more intellectually.
Are we not already on such a network? There are some here that moan about the Fediverse being too hard of a concept for the laymen to wrap their heads around. I do not disagree with them, but I like to see it as a moron filter that doesn’t seem to exist on most other places on the internet.
I mean, I just went to a site and made an account.
Facebook has the same barriers in place, and ironically enough, I can view our content without an account and not theirs.
I mean, a lotta fucking Nazis knew what TCP/IP was back in the 80s, too.
this would would only help our sanity, the stupid people would still be stupid, just not as loudly
Them being stupid, loudly, together, is making all of them stupider as individuals, too.
The ad populum fallacy on full display.
I don’t know, man. I saw a Facebook poll saying ad populum isn’t a thing.
In this regard, I absolutely have come to agree.
I always say: “The Internet should be for anyone! But it shouldn’t have been for everyone .”
the internet isn’t to be blamed. capitalism is. capitalists have weaponized the internet against the population and created these people because when people are uninformed they’re easier to exploit and manipulate
the internet is an incredible tool. it’s controlled by the worst pieces of shit satan could have ever imagined tho
Right I understand and sympathize with OP’s point, but there’s probably zero chance I’d be a commie without the internet.
thats a strange view to hold considering how many communists predate the internet
you don’t think existing in late stage capitalism would have turned you into a communist regardless? there’s a reason in the last 100 years western governments have devoted so much money to crushing communism
Tbf, the same was said about the printing press back then
Only a rich crackpot could distribute pamphlets claiming colloidal silver cures cancer, and then they’d still only reach people in walking distance.
Now, any moron can reach literally the entire world at no cost or effort.
Also, literacy itself was gatekept back then. The stupid people we’re referring to wouldn’t even have been able to read it.
Carving symbols on stone tablets was a mistake
Our species developing speech was a mistake

Climbing down from the trees was the begining of the end.
Its not anti science to not blindly trust science. Its actual science to try and verify observations. Sure, most people dont have those skills to properly know what they are observing, but I think its good if people try to learn.
I learned tons of stuff about the common pitfalls about measuring the curvature of the earth by looking at flat earth arguments and seeing what science says about them.
Today you can throw those arguments into chat gpt and get a decent summary of how anything actual works.
Using lasers to track earth curvature across a big lake for example, absolutely fascinating to see why it doesnt work as you may expect.

Why would it not work as I expect? I’m expecting some beam decoherence, and possible deflecting due to temperature differences over a cold lake.
Yeah those things.
My brother is a crank because ChatGPT enables him.
Some people get shot because guns were invented.
I’m still convinced flat earthers are an internet hoax/troll.
I’ve seen a super genius flying with a bubble level.
Also scientists today: Vaccines do not cause autism and actually work.
That was last year.
Now it’s… Tylenol?
I mean if it gets physicians to stop overprescrecribing medicines with it
Yeah but it was 90s scientist who said vaccines caused autism though. Which just invalidates the point this tweet was trying to make.
It was one “scientist” who by all accounts was a massive fraud and anyone with any semblance of smarts recognised that almost immediately. That the world is full of idiots is the problem.
Wakefield did manage to fool peer reviewers and got his paper published in Lancet, a top-tier medical journal (and it took them 12 years to fully retract that paper). So I wouldn’t say people recognized that immediately.
(And I just kinda hate “things were better in the past” type of arguments, in general. Things were shit back then, and things are shit now.)
One single comment by one shitty doctor in a magazine. He didn’t even say that. He basically said ‘some parent thought that maybe their child started to exhibit autism-like symptoms shortly after receiving a vaccine’.
I am not fucking kidding you. That was it! No study, no control groups, no sample size. Nothing. Just one stray comment that is shorter than this one I am writing now and it is the foundation of their entire theory.
Andrew Wakefield definitely published discredited studies though… Or at least one.
Uh. No. It was a published paper in The Lancet, which they did not retract for 12 years. MDs have a lot of blame here.
Look up Hbomberguy’s video on the matter. It was the lancet, but it was an erroneous publication. Rare, but it happens. The study was grade A bullshit.
What is the blame we should place on them? The whole point of science is that shitty theories and great theories live in the same space. They’re then evaluated by the collective body of scientists based upon the results of their tests. Eventually the shitty hypotheses dies off. No one is ever supposed to rely upon one study or even a few studies. It should take years and many studies before the results or conclusions should be relied upon by non-scientists.
So the blame is likely borne by a combination of the education system (explaining the importance of repeated scientific evaluation), the pervasiveness of lay “scientists” and *philosophers relying upon social media and other unreliable sources for their data, and the greater access that a random non-scientists have to studies that would normally be buried by time. Then you have people reaching their own conclusion and just finding a random study that supports that conclusion. That’s the exact opposite of what the scientific method requires. The push by conservatives over the last few decades to erode scientific education (i.e creationism) is probably more likely to blame than any one scientist, doctor or certainly the medical/scientific community.
Sorry but due to new government policy it is illegal to study or even acknowledge weather
You mentioned diverse weather conditions in your grant application, and we can’t have that.
THIS ISNT EVEN AN EXAGGERATION.
We are so fucking cooked.
weather leads to climate, climate leads to fear…
Fear… leads to sOcIaLiSm!
Scientists once again remind you to not swim in shit.
What is this picture
RFK going swimming with his granddaughter, in a sewage disharge outlet.
Not exactly an “outlet” but a place that was closed down for excessive fecal bacteria…to which he disagreed.
Oh I remember that now. IIRC it was in rock creek which the locals do, even if it is not healthy. Not a good look for the secretary of health.
I can’t think of one thing he’s done that looks good given his current job title.
Not exactly an “outlet” but a place that was closed down for excessive fecal bacteria…to which he disagreed.
He disagreed with the fecal bacteria? I mean, whatever floats his boat, but they’re going to infect him anyway.
The CDC told me it was ok. Polio is good for you because it prevents autism.
Polio is good for you because it prevents autism.
I guess that is technically true. Can’t have any autistic children if youre dead.
Wrong. Flat Earthers do think the Earth is round.
The rest of us think it’s spherical.
Oblong spheroid to be pedantic.
I have an oblong hemorrhoid
You should get that checked out
I work with someone who believes the flat earth bullshit. Our company makes pharmaceutical actives, pretty much everyone there has degrees in science. Yet one guy persists with “the earth is flat”. I’m incredulous over the willful ignorance toward reality.
How wonderful would it be if he was messing with you the whole time.
I feel bad for field researchers that have to do studies on critically endangered species
Imagine trying for days to find a specimen and then end up having to reclassify it as extinct
Nice Try NASA, we all know the truth that Earth is a Donut. This is why cops think they own the planet.
Checkmate, FBI!

…The polar crust is very thin compared to the rest of the world and experiences much more volcanism and geothermal activity. Tectonic plates drifting hubward would shrink in size, usually becoming islands, and grow heading rimward due to the differences between the inner and outer radii. Plates moving rimward would rift and plates moving vice-versa would fold, resulting in mountainous landscapes in the hub. Because of the rapid rotation the surface gravity on the Torus is non-uniform, with the polar regions being 1.1 g, the rim 0.7 g, and the hub 0.8 g, so that the mountains are higher (on average) than those on Earth.
The iconic shape of the Torus is achieved through its ultra-fast rotational speed, which allows the centrifugal force to balance with its gravity. The high rotation deforms the body of the world, making it oval-shaped with a sharper edge in the hub along with making it oblate. The rotation also causes fast winds in many latitudes, ringed zonal climates, and a weak distribution of heat from the large inner radius, which leads to dramatic changes in temperature in different regions. An intense Coriolis effect is prevalent on The Torus that spawns frequent, but small cyclone and storm systems usually near the poles. The regions with lower gravity would experience higher cloud height and vice-versa for regions with higher gravity.
The days are very brief, only lasting 3.5 hours, and at the rim they resemble the days on Old Earth, but much shorter. However, due to The Torus’s tilt, the poles experience extended periods of day or night for the summer and winter months. The fast rotation results in the home star already rising past the atmosphere on the other side of the Torus that produces a Fall dusk and Spring sunrise showing off very short-lived, vibrant colors. The nights on the hub could be as light as a cloudy day from the reflection of light from the other side of the hub. The hub would also be fairly temperate with Fall and Spring shrouding parts of it in dark during the winter and summer months.
So this is a Wiki-style fiction set far in the future, with pan-galactic civilizations and super-AIs, made by people with vast knowledge in tech and science, keeping things feasible.
Intriguing.
Pretty much.
I wish it were more famous, as it’s a far more plausible extrapolation of a few hundred/thousand years into the future than Star Trek or whatever mod people envision.
Narrator: it was not the last time.
It took republicans a while to full dismantle everything. Their almost done now so, yay?
I want to help them build that wall, so we can keep them inside, and watch what happens when a government does everything opposite of good.
pretending that generation didn’t hobble science for anti-intellectual cultists is just bullshit
what happened to stem cell research in the USA exactly?
Wasn’t it bush that shut it of to get fanatic religious votes?
that it was, Valmod
Lo, I remember mine father watching him announce it on cable news while I wisely played Tekken on ps1 instead
it sucked, my dad explained all the medical research that was going to be impacted
i mained Jack as was the style of the time
Meanwhile, my parent gleefully explained that they were writing AN EMAIL to the PRESIDENT HIMSELF using my disease to assuage their feelings as they demanded he not let stem cell research happen. That’s a level of mental fuckery I could be happy about disappearing.
It’s back on track now Corelli with the Yamanaka factors, I learned that while playing Grandia 2 on the PS2.
the Yamanaka factors
oh holy shit that is pretty cool
sad Jesus noises
We lost about a decade of research because of that bullshit. At least.
Scientists of tomorrow: Colloidal silver cures all disease unless you are possessed by demons or a witch.
If witch, please turn your self into authorities for immediate incineration.
If demons, please report to your nearest wellness camp for rehabilitation.
For the last time?! These “modern scientists” are sure not history researchers then!
“for the last time…so far”
Second part should be “And climatechange is real.”
Third part should be, “We pasteurize milk for a good fucking reason.”
Free speech is a double edged sword
