Yes, the vaccines are... Are you feeding that baby unpasteurized milk?!? What the fuck, guys?

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 55 points 1 month ago

Also, unlike cows, humans generally tend to give lots of outside signals of having listeriosis.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago

They're less likely to have shit on them, too.

[-] thejml@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

I hear thats a good way to determine if some one is King as well.

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.

It typically is pasteurized if it comes from a woman other than the baby's own mother. If it is donated milk, for example.

Internet was a mistake. It gave all the anti science people and crackpots a platform for their ideas.

[-] ms_lane@lemmy.world 78 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 58 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] bigchungus@piefed.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] black_flag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

I mean, a lotta fucking Nazis knew what TCP/IP was back in the 80s, too.

Tbf, the same was said about the printing press back then

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

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 scientists today: Vaccines do not cause autism and actually work.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

That was last year.

Now it's.... Tylenol?

Sorry but due to new government policy it is illegal to study or even acknowledge weather

[-] T156@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

You mentioned diverse weather conditions in your grant application, and we can't have that.

Scientists once again remind you to not swim in shit.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

The CDC told me it was ok. Polio is good for you because it prevents autism.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 7 points 1 month ago

Polio is good for you because it prevents autism.

I guess that is technically true. Can't have any autistic children if youre dead.

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 33 points 1 month ago

Wrong. Flat Earthers do think the Earth is round.

The rest of us think it's spherical.

[-] witty_username@feddit.nl 14 points 1 month ago

Latest and greatest flat earth is that Antarctica is a wall that encircles us all. Well, it encircles the land that us normies are allowed to know about. Beyond the Antarctic wall lies a vastness of land that us normies are kept unaware of. I am not sure why. It was something to do with the riches of the secret land. Also, no one knows how far the land stretches. So the earth is flat but we don't know how far it goes so we don't know what the shape is really.
Just to be perfectly clear: I am not a flat earther and I don't believe any of the above. It's a load of (very entertaining) nonsense. Keep the documentaries coming please!

am I old or does nobody remember the name Dolly?

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I seem to recall something about her working 9 to 5 and having an arch-nemesis called Jolene.

EDIT: Wait! Wait! I remembered! There was a sheep called Dolly who was a workaholic who had herself cloned to spend more time with her partner!

EDIT 2: Ok, I just did a web search. I was way off.

[-] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

Of course we remember Dolly! She was stuffed and is on display in the National Museum of Scotland.

[-] Baguette 23 points 1 month ago

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

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Nice Try NASA, we all know the truth that Earth is a Donut. This is why cops think they own the planet.

Checkmate, FBI!

pretending that generation didn't hobble science for anti-intellectual cultists is just bullshit

what happened to stem cell research in the USA exactly?

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.

Second part should be "And climatechange is real."

[-] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

For the last time?! These "modern scientists" are sure not history researchers then!
