    I have an acquaintance who was convinced paint thinner was the cure / prevention for COVID. Any opportunity to talk about it, ANY, and he was on top of the world.

    “They” don’t want you to know about toluene, but supposedly his buddy works in a top secret government facility and tested it out and the stuff kills COVID instantly in a test tube.

    Anyway, needless to say, he’s one of those people that latches on to random conspiracy theories, so although it’s irritating most of the time, it is occasionally entertaining. Doesn’t talk so much about COVID cures anymore, but blames his long COVID symptoms on the fact that other people were vaccinated and shed the vaccine in/on him. It’s been awhile since I heard the details of how that works.

      So he didn’t just down a bunch of toluene when he got COVID and die? I’m shocked he didn’t trust his own “research” enough.

    I’d like to see the research paper on this before I believe anything.

      Doesn’t have to be that accurate. Cancer cells that aren’t perfused don’t grow!

        Sounds even more anti-cancer!

        Does the Sun count?

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
