  • We could get some Vegas style betting odds going on this.

    Vaccines, 2:1 (Best odds cuz this is just the de facto conspiracy theory for it) 5G signals, 4:1 Chemtrails, 8:1
    Immigrants, 3:1 (gets a boost from being the big boogeyman of the admin currently) Wokeness, 20:1 (Seems too vague and nonspecific to be a valid choice, so long odds, but still giving it much better odds than the 10000:1 this one deserves, cuz honestly who knows what they’ll pull out of their asses with this.) Flouride, 12:1 (RFK has said some dumb things about Flouride before, but I’m not really expecting this one.) Antidepressants, 6:1 (He’s blamed them for the existence of school shootings, why not autism as well?) Pasteurization, 15:1 (Only drinking raw milk will keep the autism away!)



  • The other day I was seeing 13.1 million people, now I’m seeing 4-6 million, these are some big gaps.

    A ton of people either way, but anyone know why the discrepancies are so big?

    I can’t even imagine how people are counted for things like this. The one I went to was in a town of about 100k total people so I’m sure it was on the smaller side of things, but if asked how many people were there I’d guess around 2000, but that would still just be a completely wild guess essentially. Is that how they count attendance for these things, wild guesswork?

    If you don’t wanna click the x link, here’s what it says in full:

    This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.

    It seems that @elonmusk

    made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.

    In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new

    beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.






  • “1oz .999% silver medallions”

    So the coins weigh 1 oz, and are, for all intents and purposes, 1% silver? According to a quick google, silver is worth $31.07 an ounce today. So these coins have 3.1 cents worth of silver in them.
    And he’s selling them for $100 each.

    Or is the decimal used differently here because the Guardian is British and in this context it means 99.9%?
    In that case it’s $31 worth of silver sold for $100, but that seems a downright generous investment when it comes to Trump merchandise, so I’m still guessing it’s 3 cents worth of silver.
