Don't look up!

Yesterday: Nobody gets that anymore, we don't have to monitor it any more.

Today: Turns out, the reason nobody was getting that, was because we were monitoring it.

NOBODY could have predicted that!

Its like having a functional IT department.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 12 hours ago

That's because the parasite got into Ole Gravel Gullet's brain, fucked the dead worm, and then hijacked his last 6 brain cells to make the old bastard his puppet.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Heeey, the less we monitor it, the easier it gets to monitor it. That's a win win!

'member when we stopped monitoring pandemic hotbeds like Wuhan? I 'member

Or the flesh-eating screwworm flies?

and since then every other respiratory illness, we saw a rise in the others on too.

[–] Prathas@lemmy.zip 1 points 14 hours ago

Well, let's just stop tracking those, too, then; problem solved!

[–] stumu415@lemmy.zip 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It's because the worm in his brain is constantly spewing verbal diarrhea.

Brainworm man is pro worm. long live shitworm disease.

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 11 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Is there any chance that his brain worm might finish the job? I’ve had enough about hearing of his continuing insanity and would like for him and his boss to go away.

[–] Prathas@lemmy.zip 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It had died in his brain, from what I remember him having said.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Maybe it laid eggs in there before dying. It's what I would have done.

way i hear it, the poor little guy starved to death...

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 14 hours ago

Sadly, the "worm" here only means infectious software defect.

The rumor is that this parasite is what killed Lindsey Graham.

It's a rumor I'm starting, so pass it along.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You're like the tenth person I've heard that from.

Am I helping?

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

I heard it from the mayor

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

poor man was so anal retentive that he was full of shit.

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago

It's why he shit was coming out of his mouth all the time. So full that it constantly backed up. Anal retention is dangerous, kids.

Huffpost Stopped Using Punctuation in Article Titles Now Causing Even Worse Titles are Unreadable

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

The title is correct and needs no punctuation, though it is hard to read. They stopped monitoring the parasite that is now causing diarrhea.

makes it go away faster

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 8 points 22 hours ago

I mean, we all learned that is the best way to reduce cases...

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 83 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

You'll probably find that the EPA rollbacks we've been doing around irrigation laws is what's causing the issue in the first place. Too much poop in the salad mix.

[–] Canajan@piefed.ca 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Exactly why I don’t buy American produce, and strongly advise others against it as well.

wait, haven't you switched to a beef tallow and raw milk diet yet?

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 44 points 1 day ago (11 children)

We took a personification of disease, and made him Health Secretary. Dafuq did we expect would happen?

Shitting ourselves is far from the worst case scenario here.

MAGAts are bringing so many good things to America.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

We should all be thanking our local magats by getting them fired from their jobs, even if it means lying, and stomping them in the streets

When we said the US were becoming a shithole... we didn't expect them to become one so literally.
