That man deserves dysentery

Steve-O can't compete with this man

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Steve was admittedly stuffed to the gills with booze and every drug available, and still is somehow more reasonable than this clown

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

Heroin might do alot more damage than what steve took.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Steve-O would absolutely swim in a river of shit. He, however, would not allow children to follow him.

If there's any upside to this man being an idiot by 14th century standards it's that he's more likely to get deathly ill.

O... Ok! The situation in taking care of itself.

One day is no big deal. If he really wants to make his point, he should do it every day for a month.

(Leave the grandkids at home, though.)

I can be a big deal if it gets in your nose and other areas

Fucker probably found the least contaminated part for this stunt.

So brain worms are back on the menu?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

he needs to replenish his intestinal e-coli with pathogenic e-coli probiotics.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

I wonder why he says we should fortify our immune system if he doesn't think germs cause diseases? Like, what is the immune system doing making cells that can eat bacteria?

He's the septic skeptic.

Don't worry, he put a spiritual spin on it (probably) so it's ok, it's actually cleansing you see!

THIS IS NOT ROCK CREEK FFS

Everyone including major media sources is parroting what RFK Jr. said in his instagram account as if it's gospel. Go to google maps. Look at Rock Creek. Look how big it is. This is not Rock Creek.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You do know that rivers and creeks can go on for miles right? And that they will widen and narrow at various points?

Don't get me wrong, it's entirely possible that this fuck weed is saying one thing and doing another just to "prove his point" about germ theory being wrong. But it's inconclusive that what you posted negates the possibility that he was playing in sewage water.

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I get where you're coming from, but in the interest of keeping my comment simple I left out that he claimed to be hiking in Dumbarton Oaks Park, which is not far (and downstream) from the picture I posted such that it wouldn't be plausible that it would be that narrow.

But I'll also point out the level of incredulity my comment is getting on a social media site, vs. RFK Jr.'s, which should strike anyone familiar with Rock Creek as almost certainly wrong. Yet everyone in the whole news media is either willfully ignoring this or just too lazy to look into it. And honestly it pisses me off because this lack of giving a fuck about basic facts from reporters who we falsely imagine as being employed in reporting facts shows how much we're in a post-truth society and why we got a con artist as our president.
