As if denying millions of Americans access to proper healthcare wasn't enough, they appointed an anti-science, anti-vaxx idiot as if to make sure even more harm would be inflicted on them.

Sometimes I have this weird theory that RFK Jr is really like a Dr. Zoidberg type alien in a skin suit. He just kind of guesses at how human anatomy works because he isn't human himself and isn't professional enough to get a real education on the subject.

It’s hard to say what’s more farfetched, that he is a Zoidbergian alien, or that The Kennedys were just raised that far from any level of anything resembling actual human reality?

[–] SunshineJogger@feddit.org 3 points 1 hour ago

Eerily accurate

At least Zoidberg means well, RFK Jr. has more in common with the brain slugs or the gas station egg salad sandwiches

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 hours ago

If it's his brain worms speaking, that would explain a lot.

well actually the aliens in the MIB controlling the meat suit.

One with frontotemporal dementia that has rapidly shrinking brain, the other one with half a brain eaten by the worm... in what fucking timeline do we live... feels like Rick and Morty episode... fuck. me.

destroyed by HEROIN worms.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 30 minutes ago

Heroin-fueled brain worms, allegedly contracted from (knowingly and voluntarily) eating rotten meat on a semi regular basis*

The timeline where Americans collectively lose their minds and make shit loads of money uploading youtube videos about it.

Sounds legit. Where do I sign up for my glyphosate injections?

Bacteria is not in the kingdom plantae.

Funny that in Spanish it's called "flora intestinal", not "fauna intestinal". Always though that it's a but of a misnomer.

[–] Hexarei@beehaw.org 3 points 2 hours ago

We also just call it "gut flora" in english too

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

Intestinal flora is a common phrase in English, too. Or "gut flora". It's one of those old 19th century scientific phrases which has stuck around.

Like this, err, gentleman (who apparently wants to drag us back to that past) we used to believe gut bacteria to be plant-based. Science caught up, but the term has had sticking power. It seems to be a favorite of marketers of probiotic supplements.

"Microbiota" or just the straightforward "gut bacteria" would be more accurate and modern. But of course, everyone except for this guy already knows that.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 hour ago

there is valid science in gut microbiome, the Pseudoscience take on is, the "leaky gut, or inflammatory diet bs.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Did he read/hear about gut flora somewhere, and get his eggs scrambled?
