how has this been available to watch all day long on the internet for years now, and nobody told me about it?
Does anyone have a copy of that meme where a scientist is standing next to a huge pile of papers and a sign that says something like “these studies show vaccines are safe” and another scientist is standing next to a sign holding a paper that says “this one says they’re not” and the person grabs the paper from the not safe scientist and smiles?
Do you mean the college humor bit?
I say start at :40 if only because that part is hilarious and also is right before the vaccine bit.
also watching these things it's amazing how many people are famous now. holy crow.
.. I've woken up in worse places without crack.
Reminds me of East Hastings/Vancouver, though. That was a new mindfuck every day, passing by downtown eastside.
She was truckin' 'n fuckin' around for sure lmao
It certainly was a weird random experience when watching that video on mute while "isn't everyone" is playing in the background, on loop.
@allegate for some reason this made me think of you.
That potato in the thumbnail…
^ I hope that’s the first headline extraterrestrials read when they visit earth.
this is way more horrifying than it is stupid. they strap rare-earth magnets to your teeth so you can't open your mouth.
DentalSlim Diet Control is an intra-oral device fitted by a dental professional to the upper and lower back teeth. It uses magnetic devices with unique custom-manufactured locking bolts. It allows the wearer to open their mouths only about 2mm, restricting them to a liquid diet, but it allows free speech and doesn’t restrict breathing.
Well, that's easy for you to say, but there are people who struggle with this. I have a friend who needs his gall bladder removed, and his doctor is putting him on a liquid diet for two weeks prior. One could say he should make an effort to overhaul his lifestyle and get healthy, but I try not to judge.
He has serious pain that needs treatment, and eating healthier + exercising isn't going to take the weight off in two weeks. If he doesn't do the liquid diet, he's just supposed to suffer while completely changing his lifestyle for a few months to have surgery he needs now?
That said, I find the mouth magnets horrifying. Where the hell do they come up with this shit?
Medical reasons are always an entirely different story, and I don't think this is what this device is about. What's going to happen once you remove these magnets?
Even stomach staples are a last resort in medicine. The first choice should always be diet and some exercise.
I never judge a book by its cover - in my early 20s I was ill to the point where all I could keep down was herbal tea and soy yoghurt with a bit of banana mashed into it. Doctors called me everything from "just stressed" at best to "anorexic" at worst until finally, after a never ending ordeal of hospitals and specialists, one figured out my ferritin/transferrin levels were playing havoc and my body refused to take up any iron.
I know I'm getting old, my body reminds me, but it's another thing to see something like this and have it spelled out. holy shit.
edit: the unintentional pun of "spelled out"...Conan and Andy put spelling bee champion Sarah Hughes' (aka Scarlett Johansson) skills to the test.
