Dear gen Z, raw dog means to fuck without a condom

The term has also been further bleached to just mean doing something raw, rough, hard.

Who in this day and age wouldn't drink pasteurised milk?

Besides like, properly stupid people, or people who think it'll give them religious powers and other such nutters.

The word you’re looking for is dipshits.

Who drinks milk at all? I get a giant zit immediately after having some.

Those who take horse medication to fire COVID... probably

Darwin approves.

Raw milk is a disease vector for H5N1 right now, and as been for most of the year.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2405371. (Location for the sick worker in the article: Texas)

Why it doesn’t matter so much for those of us not working directly with cows is pasteurization. In my household, we’ve since switched to ultra pasteurized in the cases we’ve not been doing that already, just to play safest.

The more humans that catch H5N1, the more likely it is to take and make a vector out of humans.

To be fair, it is often good to avoid processing your food. However this does not include the cleaning aspect of that food. Would you suddenly stop washing your fruits and vegetables? Flashing a little heat on the milk for safety is fine. It doesn’t create the milk equivalent of beef jerky or a ritz cracker. If you’ve ever spent any time in a milking barn, among cows, or seen the milking process you might not even drink milk after. You’ll want bacteria and virus death in your milk.

But wait, Zeph, surely this process is only effective for bacteria, we’ve always been taught that the same means of death for bacteria don’t typically work on viruses. (Antibiotics). Pasteurization is it’s own thing.

TF is "ultra-pasteurized"?

It was invented by Nigel Tufnel.

By the time RFK jr. is done, the vegetables will have a warning label for Haber–Bosch nitrogen and MAGA will insist their food be grown on untreated human feces.

Wait you can get TB from raw milk?!

Among other things. TB was one of the main reasons we started pasteurizing milk in the first place.

I mean, we should have an image of the Germans who applied it to milk, pretty sure Pasteur did it for the booze and some other dudes were like "hey bro we did that same technique on milk and now way less babies die."

Meanwhile Charles Darwin looks on approvingly...

I don't think it's fair to attribute the bigoted dumpster fire of Social Darwinism to Darwin himself.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then Charles Dickens kicks Darwin in the balls.

It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw

With civilians looking on in total awe

The fight raged on for a century

Many lives were claimed but eventually

The champion stood, the rest saw their better

this is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
this is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
