We live in the most stupid timeline.
For Republicans, raw milk is the new masking https://www.salon.com/2024/06/12/for-republicans-raw-milk-is-the-new-masking/
@WarnerCrocker @digyoursoul Biden should come out against eating arsenic.
@WarnerCrocker And of all the hills to literally die on.
Commercial grade food pasterurization was prooven by Appert in 1810, so I know there's only a measly 210 yrs of experience and knowledge on this one, but the envidence is overwhelming - pasteurization is GOOD. Makes food safer AND keep longer. How can you possibly look at it and go naw, this is clearly a brain control ploy by THE MAN.
What's next, sanitization of surgical instruments? Oh pls do, I hear sepsis is deliciously painful.
@WarnerCrocker I'd never have imagined that there'd be a "pro deadly virus" party, but here we are.
Here's a theory. What if one of the side-effects of COVID is an ongoing brain chemical imbalance that causes humans to become desirous of future viral infections.
@tob @WarnerCrocker This sounds like the big twist in a zombie movie or something.
@lydiaschoch @WarnerCrocker There's a virus that breeds in cats that affects the brains of mice who eat cat poop and makes them less scared of cats and attracted to cat urine.
The virus' life cycle is cat eats infected mouse, mouse eats infected cat poop, cat eats infected mouse, etc.
So it's sorta... plausible.
@tob @lydiaschoch @WarnerCrocker It's a brain parasite, not a virus. Toxoplasma gondii. It also may make people more prone to risk-taking. Approximately 30% of humanity is infected with T. gondii (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8136135/)
@WarnerCrocker I feel like I need to keep on banging my head against the wall.
@WarnerCrocker freedom juice!
@WarnerCrocker science and dictatorship do not play well together.
The dictator dictates Truth, not science.
Being performatively anti-science is signalling loyalty to the dictatorship.
@WarnerCrocker Honestly, at this point, let 'em. Let 'em not wear masks, let 'em drink unpasteurized milk, let 'em not wear seat belts. They choose stupidity, they can choose the consequences...
