Hermaphrodite frogs, not gay frogs https://www.pnas.org/content/99/8/5476

Where were you when you learned "gay frogs" was a marketing push by pesticide companies to ridicule their critics by equating them to the lowest common denominator among said critics

@14519 You might enjoy this one
Twetch 路
What are you guys talking about? Gay frogs?
Twetch 路
Again, hermaphrodite frogs, not gay frogs

This is why we need regulation. Did they stop using it or are they like fuck the frogs. Didnt see anything on the effect on humans
Twetch 路
TBH I don't know, I'm more interested in the psychology of mass media ("gay frogs" slander) rather than the actual biology
Twetch 路
"GAY FROGS" is a headline. Sometimes i guess its good to bring attention to big problem.
Twetch 路
Except everyone thinks it's a kooky alex jones false conspiracy theory, which was the intent of that headline
Twetch 路
That seemed like a pretty legit study. I think the conspiracy comes from people making it seem like the "govt" is doing it on purpose when its just a negative side effect of that chemical on amphibians.
Twetch 路
Its the way people say things too. *Alex Jones voice "listen folks they are turning the frogs gay" usually followed by a "the safety of your children is under attack" makes me wanna roll my eyes you know
Twetch 路
The actual conspiracy is how certain people make other people think that people that thought it was an issue all think like Alex Jones. Reflect a second, you knew about the kooky radio show host but not the actual study he was discussing. So it goes...
Twetch 路
Yeah its kinda sad that that alt media covers things like this so it seems like its not legit. Theres too many kooky characters out there its alot to weed through all the bs. Takes away from legit people trying to give you good info
Twetch 路
Just by say "they" in the title "they are turning frogs gay" who is they? Right there i call conspiracy. Lol
Twetch 路
"They" are not doing anything. Its a problem that was unknown and was discovered through research.
Twetch 路
In our world everything is regulated by the state. And yet, everytime it becomes obvious that it is doing a horrible job someone insists that this is why we need the state to regulate
It didn't go wrong because there was no state, but under its regulation
Twetch 路
I disagree man. People dont give a fuck about what harm they are doing if they are making money. They world you invision is only possible in a small world. Imo
Twetch 路
The*
Twetch 路
If people don't give a fuck imagine how little of a fuck people with power give.
Governments have murdered a quarter of a BILLION people in the last century, not counting war.
No warlords can even dream that big.
Crime on that scale needs tax funding.
Twetch 路
No there will just be a million small mobs all over the world.
Twetch 路
Watch this guys video. He actually researches these claims in great depth and interviews various scientists. Worth the watch. Pretty interesting stuff.

@333 You were right look at this thread lol
Twetch 路
Not only evil people can organize...
I see a world of free, armed organized adults who instead of funding the mob put their resources into their own security and defens.
Nothing stronger than free men taking care of their families defending freedom.
Twetch 路
Thats a small world view. Come to nyc and see if thats possible. Its easy when yourr sheltered, home schooled and isolated. Cities will always be. What youre talking about is impossible. Its only good if everyone thinks like you and raised like you
Twetch 路
Your view is a mixture of normalcy bias and Stockholm syndrome.
To me you sound like someone during slavery arguing that without slaves society would go to hell.
That's fine, though.
But you live inside the box of what you think is possible.
Twetch 路
Maybe its not stockholm syndrome. Maybe its the fact that youre mad that youre not in charge. I dont mind being a soldier. Youre not the chief thats something you have to deal with.
Twetch 路
The world youre imagining doesnt exist. Well not on this world anyway with the beings on this planet. With the way these beings think and act.
Twetch 路
You seem to forget that the state is the experiment. 95% of human history people managed without being subjugated by bureaucrats.
Anyway. Have a nice weekend.
Twetch 路
What 95% are you talking about? Even in the bible there were kings. Go to the jungles in south america. Where "tribes" live.
Twetch 路
You know that the state apparatus only exists since about 7000 years ago, right?
Humans, meanwhile, have self- organized for hundreds of thousands of years without needing a big mommy state.
Twetch 路
7000 years ago you could count the amount of people in the world yourself. Youre thinking madness right now. You want to live how we lived 7000 years ago? Are you serious rn? Why are you even on the internet if so?
Twetch 路
I don't need you to understand.
I just pitty people who know nothing better than the statist yoke.
In a free world you can have a state with others. I just don't want to be forced to partake and finance that barbarian nightmare.
Twetch 路
Oh you want government the way you want it. So you want to choose what type of slave you are i guess in laymans terms. I stand corrected "if everyone thinks like me the world would be a better place" said every cult leader
Twetch 路
Your cult is forcing me to participate and finance it...
My cult just wants to be left alone.
See the difference?
Twetch 路
Thats the beauty in freedom right? You can just leave and find or create your own cult. Cause thats what you want. So go do it. Im just not going. Gather all likeminded people like you and go. Whats stopping you?
Twetch 路
I'm way ahead of you, friend.
As far away from the state as possible.
But guess what: your cult is global and forces people to pay the cult leaders no matter where you are...
What is it people like about coercion and oppression? I guess freedom is scary.
Twetch 路
Whats the name of your cult and how can i join? I cant wait to leave one cult to join another
Twetch 路
It's called freedom.
We don't force people to be a part of it and in order to join all you have to do is understand basic ethics and logic.
Maybe the lockdown and the aftermath will be enough to make you question authority.
Twetch 路
I already have freedom. What else you got? If( a > b ) then do this. That logic? Ethics like taking care of my family? Got that. So im in then?
Twetch 路
Not to sound mean but you sound like a self entitled american that wants more and more. Why dont you go live in the amazon? Whats stoping you?
Twetch 路
This is exemplary for what your problem is and I am not trying to be mean either:
You assume all kinds of things without even doubting that your thoughts represent reality... trapped inside the mind.
Remember that you don't know anything about me ;)
Twetch 路
Youre saying i dont doubt? Lol thats silly again youre assuming youre smarter then me and you know better then me because youre "enlightened" and im not
Twetch 路
Maybe enlightened means not chasing a dream but accepting reality
Twetch 路
I think youre mad you and your family isnt royalty thats all. Cause i dont mind being part of a tribe and not being in charge.
Twetch 路
That is a beautiful non sequitur!
You go on and think whatever you want.
I will try not to disturb you.
Twetch 路
Or you want to mooch off the good of modern civilization and not partake in the bad? Then youre cherry picking. And youre pretty much full of it
Twetch 路
"Why we need regulation". No this occurred precisely because of regulation. Govt reg body protecting companies from common law liability that private property free market would slam them with.
Twetch 路
Ugh exactly thank you! 馃憦馃徏
Twetch 路
No come to a big city and see why if you havent been to one what youre proposing is insane. That only works in small groups of people and even in small groups theres hierarchy...just means smaller government.
Twetch 路
I live in a big city. I moved here because despite corruption, here has a certain level of freedom just unavailable in western countries nowadays. Too much regulation is toxic. It鈥檚 assuming guilt before given the chance to do any wrongdoing.
