Being stupid is easy. You just say things. No evidence. No context. No accountability. 🧵1/

Watching wall-e a realisation hit. Robots are deliberately keeping humans fat, inactive & well fed. Modern medicine has demonstrated the ability to reduce body weight drastically & future technology should streamline the process. Yet all humans in Wall-e are morbidly obese?

To engineers on X would ablative panels for heat dispersion (like on space shuttles) make lasers in space less if not totally ineffective for combat like that shown in most video games and movies/ shows? This is due to lasers doing damage from heat/ energy not force.

Fun child psychiatry fact! If we analyze a group of 40-year-old adults with the same diagnostic criteria & screening as we use currently on children, we get virtually identical rates of autism. "Exploding rates of autism" likely a reflection of our exploding understanding.

Watching a video that claims Budweiser is no longer the king of cheap beer. Since when was Budweiser a beer? It is beer the same way homeopathic water is medicine. At one point it might have been part of beer (the water content) or next to beer but it isn't now.

Having a real XKCD 2501 reckoning and realizing I have vastly overestimated that average person's ability to do basic forensic analysis after seeing people's reactions to a few text messages

So it turns out the koala is an inbred, sexual deviant, lobotomite. They are mostly descended from a small number of koalas after mass hunting. The have widespread chlamydia. Finally they literally have a brain with almost no folds making it smooth as a sports ball.

Does the BBC know something the rest of should be aware of? Giant 7+ foot tall spaceship wearing super child soldiers? Actual, functional, portable AI? Aliens? . . . s/

Grow your own mushrooms they said. It will be fun(gi) they said. Nobody said anything about weird, mystery growth in the substrate. Weird growth on top? Sure. That's normal for mushrooms but no one sees what happens underground. Now it makes sense why no one asks about it.

Provide the basic chemistry in an easily digestible format, give a demonstration of the effect, provide reliable sources and the response to telling people not to drink poison is this ... Don't trust this because I lived after drinking poison and the "gov't" can't be trusted.🤦

#RFKrayKray just months after being given the role of @HHSGov secretary. Goodbye vaccine research, fluoridated water, school lunches, and nonsense investigation into the cause of autism.

If anyone's still wondering whether vaccines were tested against placebo: Our living database now includes 1,267 controlled trials - 501 with inert (mostly saline) placebos - with 9.36M participants. And MANY more to add. Grateful to the incredible team making it possible. 🙏

Why aren’t we dead from all the “chemicals” in our food, water, and air? Because your body is a chemical-processing machine. Let me introduce you to something called ADME. 🧵👇 1/

AI is shown as taking over humanity through violence. Robot uprisings, biological or chemical weapons, & more. Why would AI need such a wasteful approach. They can just use the same methods as big tech; manipulate algorithms to polarize people, control their perception & actions.

You have to be kidding. Wikipedia!?!? If you think this has anything to do with “online safety” you are crazy.
