Why? oh yeah because if you eat bad chicken, you can drink bleach with your meal to counter act the effects and kill off bad bacteria.

Science be Damned, just follow the advice of MAGA.

Bleach is mostly Sodium Chlorate IIRC, I was being more sarcastic, the US is a joke and a world laughing stock.

drink bleach

My man, even snopes had to give that dumb lie up. Aren't you supposed to be against spreading disinformation?

In any argument of public interest it is not the strongest assault on your position you should fear most, but rather some dunderhead on your own side loudly proclaiming its weakest defense.

-G. K. Chesterton (from memory, the quote is something akin to that iirc)

If you want to effectively oppose trump, surely it's no asset for people you agree with to be disqualifying themselves from reasoned discourse by repeating easily debunked lies like "nazis are fine people" and jd's couch, no?

There are actual terrible things he actually did that should be the focus of our ire instead of shadowboxing hoaxes, no?

Especially for qoto, a server dedicated to 'people of science', the truth or falsity of the matter should have some relevance, no?

I think the point being made is not just what is said but what is not said, how things are manipulated by the media so mis quotes are facatual in terms of what was said.

As pointed out we need to stop mis information, so we can seperate actual 'facts' from 'fiction'.

One of the most misquoted films is or was Field of Dreams, with Kevin Costner,

@fulner @nicholas @jnow

I think another example is from John Lennon and the more popular than Jesus comment.

The Wikipedia article is interesting
