this lmao, it’s not all that good

Musk blocking Signal links makes me just a bit happier about my Signal donation every month :>

before i knee-jerk react to this, i need to know:

• source? give me a link at minimum, preferably a scientific journal since you’re citing “the science” - much else isn’t gonna make the cut here.

• if this is the case, why did i and my peers have crippling allergies for the entirety of my childhood? we spent tons of time around manure, thousands of hours literally walking in it. we still couldn’t breathe outdoors without getting allergy symptoms.

edit: also, what does alleged lower incidence of allergies and “other autoimmune issues” have to do with the relation between playing around manure or drinking raw milk, and getting E.Coli infections/dying? those two are quite closely correlated, the “science” also shows that.

hell yeah, that’s what i like to see. also, same: if you need help when we’re in the camps, hit me up

+1 for this: I have very personal experience with an E.Coli outbreak in a small town in southern Utah in 2017. Although the infections did not come from raw milk directly, the infections were traced to the area where the milk was packaged - and albeit anecdotally, there were several related deaths over the years that I was aware of, that were never reported due to the…uh…unique religious background of the place.

so yeah, I mean…don’t let your children play in manure but also…don’t drink milk that you sanitize less than you sanitize your hands.

anecdotally: given the number of people I’ve met who were both neurodivergent and absolutely adore trains, this seems incredibly likely.

not to mention many of those same people are just the type to have 200TB of music and a whole radio station in their backpack.
