Good lord, you’re right that thing is terrifying!
I love Australia but I’ve always wondered what exactly it is about Australia that made evolution go “yes, let’s make this place like Master Mode in BOTW where everything is OP, wants to kill you, and can one-shot you”
Elaine Cortez@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•White House announces 245% tariffs on ChinaEnglish3·3 months agoDo you think we’ll find out the maximum number that Trump and his ilk can count up to from this?
Elaine Cortez@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump official declaring ‘anyone who preaches hate for America’ will be deported worries users: ‘They just skip the First Amendment’English11·3 months agoNot American but I hate the USA’s current administration. I am neither ashamed nor scared to say this. I presume this would be labeled as hate since I can’t see why their definition of “hate” wouldn’t be incredibly vague so as to hurt as many people as possible.
That’s revolting.

Quokkas are so adorably happy looking! 😃 I’ve never heard of anyone disliking them.
Elaine Cortez@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr. Misleads on Vitamin A, Unsupported Therapies for MeaslesEnglish4·4 months agoWorse actually. Vitamin A is easy to overdose on, it’s a fat-soluble vitamin, and people have died from vitamin A toxicity. So they now have both the risk of serious complications and/or death from measles, and the risk of serious complications and/or death from vitamin A toxicity.
Elaine Cortez@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr. Misleads on Vitamin A, Unsupported Therapies for MeaslesEnglish6·4 months agoUnlike vitamin C, vitamin A is fat-soluble and overdose can result in death. Vitamin A deficiency is rare in developed countries so what he’s suggesting is that people risk poisoning themselves with no proven benefit for measles.
The CDC in the past has not done a good job at quantifying the risk of vaccines — we are going to do that now
Politicians are not scientists. Scientists understand what they are not, but it would seem like politicians such as RFK Jr are struggling with this.
These people literally don’t know what mRNA is, they believe it’s the same thing as DNA because it sounds vaguely similar. It’s good to see actual experts calling him out though! We really need more of this.
It’s like a South Park episode, except you couldn’t make this up. It’s beyond satire.
Elaine Cortez@lemm.eeto Science Memes@mander.xyz•THE EARTH IS SPHERICAL, DIPSHITSEnglish6·5 months agoI remember figuring out on my own that the Earth is spherical when I was 6 years old and I witnessed big ships disappearing from the bottom up over the horizon.

Elaine Cortez@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•America has a problem: GOP Congressman Chalks Beyoncé’s Historic Grammy Win Up to ‘DEI’English6·5 months agoOr maybe she’s really good and worked hard to deserve that grammy. Congratulations Beyoncé!! 😃
Elaine Cortez@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump voters angry at ‘chaos:’ ‘Not what we signed up for’English15·5 months agoThe reason I find it hard to sympathize with the people who voted for him is because he’s been advertising everything he’s currently doing for the past few years, and now the people who voted for him are surprised that he’s actually doing what he’d said he’d do.
I heard they have really good cell reception.
It’s all fun and games until we’re overrun by cybernetic goombas.
“Piss on carpet” will now be my catchphrase whenever I leave a room.
