Hilary Koprowski dosed over a million people in the Belgian Congo with an experimental oral polio vaccine in the mid 1950's. Within a few years the AIDS epidemic erupted in that exact region. The link between the two events seems frighteningly indisputable. youtube.com/watch?v=LZs1V…

(((πŸ‘))) Conspiracy Aptitude Test: Was the death of "the greatest biologist of the 20th century" foul play?

Let's have a little CHAT about a very taboo subject. All of this has been thoroughly "debunked" by "experts" with no conflicts of interest, and people like Hilary Koprowski are very nice and as respectable as America's favorite uncle, so don't let any of it disturb your bedrest, but it might be food for thought during lockdown (or until your O-micro brain becomes spongiform and you turn into a Covey Zombie).

Question: Is Bill Hamilton's death suspicious enough to warrant deeper investigation?

Quantumβš›οΈπŸ’ Monkey theory: Why you can trust fellow apes to HODLπŸ’ŽπŸ‘ and why we are destined to moonπŸš€πŸŒ”

The 100th Monkey πŸ’ Effect is the spontaneous transference of knowledge throughout a species once a certain number of individuals has learned a new idea or action. It bypasses physical barriers. A mind-to-mind jump. A leap in consciousness.

In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant. An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too. This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists.

Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable. Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes. (boomers) Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes β€” the exact number is not known.

Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Let’s further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes. Then it happened! By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them.

The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough! A critical mass of monkeys was reached. A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea to colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes.

To summarize for you our smooth brains out there: One monkey on island learn to wash potato. 1st Monkey teach other monkey how to wash potato until many monkey know learn to wash potato. Eventually a Critical mass of monkey who know wash potato was reached. Now all monkey on island wash potato and some monkey on other island wash potato. Knowledge of potato washing spread like virus until all monkey know how to wash potato.

The story of the Japanese monkeys is a good example of the propagation of a paradigm shift, as in Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. The truly inno

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Daughter: I'm hungry
