I remember the vitriol of old reddit. I believe you are contributing to that more than helping.
Reddit was never pure in terms of discussion or kindness; I think you've got some heavily tinted rose glasses on. But reddit succeeded and brought you the deep, insightful discussion you crave because the enthusiasts were there. And enthusiasts are human, they are not all heartless cogs there to infodump and complain. The most knowledgeable, well-read, and well-spoken people I know are also ones to crack jokes and make their passions accessible and interesting.
If you want healthy discussion, I strongly believe you should allow at least a bit of levity and let people speak a little more freely. Chastising people for not being insightful enough will turn away plenty of the people you want to keep.
Let neckbeards and normies mingle. It's okay to have fun.
Also worth mentioning: this is Microblog Memes. It's in the name.
You are a liar and the wayback machine can prove it to anyone who searches.
Pick a year and I will prove there were always shitposters on reddit.
And there are feces particles in every breath you take in, where the important part is, is the concentration.
Compare frontpages from 2009 to 2017 and put them side by side. Which version has the highest shit density?
False. You are contributing to misinformation and are therefore a shit poster.
You have made the internet worse for your presence. Please go back to shitting up digg with your fossilised takes.
AA is an idiot, but why would you want to argue this obviously true point they've made?
It isn’t “obviously true” and you would realise that if you considered the supposition more carefully.
His claims is that every breath you take contains faeces.
Firstly the linked studies show bacteria in the air, bacteria is a component of faeces but do not constitute faeces by themselves.
Secondly every breath? Yes outside of a chip making fab clean room. I see no evidence for faeces in the air in a reasonably clean room. Where’s the source? How are faeces being aerosolised ?
It’s implausible.
But the study outdoors that detected bacteria in American Midwest cities!!! Yea there’s zero chance those cities are near farms where they spray with fertiliser. Zero.
Here is my proof:
https://www.popsci.com/poop-is-everywhere/
Everywhere humans exist and visit is covered with a literally stories high cloud of shit flecks. Everywhere.
Unless you are talking chipfab clean rooms every breath you take in has the shit dust of thousands in it.
So, retract your blatantly false accusation and apologize for your libel.
Linking popsci and not checking their sources which misinterprets findings from a single study of bacteria in the air… in some Midwestern US cities.
Congrats, you have the critical thinking and research skills of your average Facebook loving anti-vaxxer.
Incorrect again! There is a link in there to an aggregation by the Mayo clinic on MANY studies and articles that were used in forming the content of that webpage.
Secondly, are you trying to imply that Popular Science, one of the most rigorous and publicly approved science publishings would still be hosting an article from seven years ago if it had been refuted?
You, sir/madam/other: __________ are cherrypicking without taking the diligence to read the article for the stepping off point that it is. We are not in a formal debate, I do not need to provide you an ACA formatted reference list. I gave you a link that has data and a link to a lot more other data. It is not my fault you chose to stop when you saw the midwest air study.
Another source you can choose is your universities anthropology department, a simple 2 minute conversation with them will confirm that Yes, wherever humans exist, there is a cloud of shit particles.
You are being deliberately obstinate because you are incapable of admitting your stupid trollery was ill-formed and poorly envisioned. It's ok, I'll say it for you:
You're wrong, you're sorry, and you'll stop doing from now on.
