As a hematologist, I can 100% say there’s no such thing as dying of a sickle cell trait crisis during exertion. 

The only way this story gets better is if the stolen money is used to get every donor DVDs of the new Little Mermaid movie and the Ms Marvel show

It’s absolutely nuts! Voting for a party that actively supports actual antisemites and Nazis right where you live, all because the other party has maybe slightly weaker (and that’s questionable) support for a country where you don’t live. 

As a Jewish person, I wouldn’t go patting the broader Jewish community on the back. There are plenty of very conservative Jewish folk who tolerate all sorts of bad behavior from politicians because Israel or something. Like I have Jewish relatives whose parents were Holocaust survivors who don’t think twice about…

Yea I think you’re basically nailing down one of the main critiques of this study that is largely being missed by media reports. When you have such a large number of the invited people not get the screening, you’re introducing a huge response bias either way. Did the people who take them up on the colonoscopy…

Maybe tech companies should focus on actually promoting their tech in a way that doesn’t involve foam pits

Nobody working on the project is actually using the product because they’re probably all busy looking for other jobs

I will clearly never afford a yacht, but 4 knots seems pretty slow for one. 

They should just mount the torso on the cybertruck and call it a centaur. That will take care of the issues with walking. 

Oh good, now we can use it to rescue children from flooded caves. Take that, pedo guy

This should really help cut down on subway crime. Putting surveillance cameras in stores has stopped most shoplifting, and the doorbell cameras do an outstanding job deterring porch pirates, so this is the logical extension of that.

The ice cream thing is great, especially for pediatric oncology

Turns out the antivax assholes were just playing the long game against EV-D68. Can’t get paralysis from that if you’re already paralyzed from polio!

They also provide a $20/month service where if you type less than a page in an hour, they have the manager of the coffee shop yell at you in front of the other customers

I look forward to the stories about people’s United flying taxis being rerouted to random other places and passengers being forcibly ejected. 

I sell monopoly money to dumb people, who hope that the monopoly money will appreciate and make them more real money. To print the monopoly money, I had to clear-cut a whole bunch of forests, and do lots of other bad environmental things, which got people all upset. Since nobody seems upset at the actual scam part,…

They write a lot about various tech scams and failures, so that seems very appropriate

Can we use it to just load up all the libertarian techbros and set them adrift at sea to build their own crypto-fueled utopia? 

The nitrous oxide - B12 thing is one of those “zebras” we learn about in med school and think we will never actually see, because how dumb can people possibly be? Turns out the human capacity for stupid is infinite. 

One time when I was like 6 years old and somehow in charge of the bank in a Monopoly game, I tried to “merge all liquidity” and ended up with a Monopoly box to the face.
