Imagine being the model. Alright, you look amazing. Now drop your pants and pretend to take a shit. Yeah thats it, just a hundred more photos in different lighting. Perfect, thats the one we upload to the internet

I wonder if she lost the feeling in her legs from sitting on the shitter that long for a photoshoot?

That science lady’s just pretending. She’s sitting there making breakfast. I can see the glass of orange juice in front of her, and pancake batter in the red bowl. Science is a liar sometimes!

Probably a picture of a quality control lab in a food factory. They're pretty anal about everything being within spec for safety, product consistency and legal reasons.

Anal and food quality control are two things I did not want to see in a comment together

That may or may not be true but there's a good chance there's some dehydrated milk in the lab

While I'm here, everyone, please get your flu and COVID shots this winter, vaccines work, so don't get sick, and don't get other people sick.

Got mine! 10/10 will definitely do again

Also get your dogs rabies vaccines! We are getting dangerously close to having less than 80% of the dogs in the US vaccinated. This will cause pockets of disease in your pets.

I highly recommend staggering them though. I did them both together last year and felt so sick that I had to take a day off of work (still better than COVID or Flu). This year, I had a COVID booster and I'm getting a flu shot Monday. The COVID shot did nothing to me but give me a sore arm and flu shots never do anything.

I just went to sign up for my covid shot and it asked me to update my insurance information. I have no fucking answers for them so I stopped filling out the form.

Odd that the people who question vaccines are the same people who don't question the medicines they put into their mouths when they get sick. Do they know that vaccines and medicines are researched and manufactured in a similar way?

They probably should question them. Even something as seemingly benign as Paracetamol is not without its issues if used too often, or after alcohol. It can do serious harm. Most medicine can.

Another fun medicine fact. Australia banned the sale of pseudoephedrine from store shelves quite some years ago to try and reduce domestic amphetamine production. Ever since, all of the major pharma brands have sold phenylephrine based cold and flu medicine as a replacement. Our Therapeutic Goods Administration recently found that this preparation is no better than placebo. We're talking about a billion dollar industry that has been knowingly selling snake oil for ten years.

I guess what I'm saying is a healthy dose of skepticism and knowledge seeking should be applied to anything you are putting in your body or exchanging money for. The pharmaceutical industry are not saints. They're just as driven by profit incentives as every other business.

They have known since 2009

I don't think it's some conspiracy that they have known and hid it. And at least in the states you can still get the real stuff behind the counter too with ID.

I'm not discrediting anything you said though just adding on.

These people will drink bleach if someone tells them to https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/10/florida-men-sentenced-to-years-in-prison-for-selling-bleach-as-miracle-cure/

Anti-vaxxers aren't anti-science because that would imply they understand science. They're anti-knowledge and anti-reason which is far more dangerous.

Females don't have bodily functions, obviously. It's impure and unwoman like to use the toilet.

What great ideas didn’t begin as a thought on the toilet? /s

Supposedly Newton's idea of gravity but that story with the apple could just be a cover-up.
