I'm cool with idiots who don't know any better getting what's coming to them... but I'm not really cool with them sneezing on the same door handles I turn.

Fun fact:

The dairy was fined in 2023 for a Salmonella outbreak and is very militantly anti-government.

The why seems pretty clear.

The more deadly pseudoscience that spreads the fewer conservatives there are in America, so I can't say I mind stuff like this too much.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I mind it. In isolation it would be fine, but with their ignorance, these types punish and harm their families, mainly their children, who would otherwise just grow up to cut contact with them anyway, long as they didn't end up sharing their views. Plus when it's disease, they just have to walk near a person who isn't another conservative to spread it. As we learned from covid, the best person to be wearing the mask is the sick one, and they don't play along.

at least CVD isn't contagious

Every new infection is a new dice roll for a human-human infection mutation

Low chance, but let's hope we don't get XCOM'd

Cardiovascular disease is never going to be contagious, except through socially transmitted values that say it is okay to commit atrocity against cattle.

Ah, sorry. Was still at the bird flu from op

I bet the solution is so fast, it’s past your eyes before you know it.

Edit: for anybody who is hearing impaired.

Past-yer-eyes milk. Nice.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like something a guy named Louie would think of.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 hours ago

idk, seems like an idea that should be sent out to pasture.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago

Hmm, a sign language pun. Interesting!

Some relatively unknown French microbiologist is rolling in his grave right now.

Sanitation is being put out to Pasteur

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

This is a top grade pun.

Sacre Bleu!

So, I don't really understand the science, but my son is only able to drink raw milk. When he drinks normal milk, he has terrible stomach aches and mad diarrhea. When he drinks raw milk, it's all rainbows and butterflies. For reference, he's 3 and has been drinking the raw milk for around a year and a half. Also, the rest of the family had no issues drinking pasteurized milk. Maybe somebody smarter than me could explain why this is?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 hour ago

This might be helpful, or it might be unrelated.

Recently, I made mozzarella from scratch. In order to do that, I needed some milk that wasn't homogenised. Homogenisation is the process of breaking up the fat globules within milk into smaller droplets so they're more evenly dispersed throughout the liquid, meaning there won't be a fatty layer that separates out when you leave the milk to stand.

Most milk that you buy at the supermarket would be both homogenised and pasteurised. I learned that pasteurised milk could work for cheese, depending on the specific temperature the milk was heated to during pasteurisation (because the required minimum temperature for pasteurization is below the temperature that causes issues for mozzarella, but some brands pasteurise at a higher temperature. Unfortunately most brands don't say what temperature they pasteurise at, but I got lucky with the first one I tried). That part's not especially relevant to you and is mostly cheese related

The thing I wanted to suggest, out of scientific curiosity more than helpfulness, is that I wonder how your son would do with pasteurised, non-homogenised milk — perhaps it's the homogenisation that's causing the problem, rather than the pasteurisation. If you do try this, I'd be interested to hear back how things go; I haven't heard of anyone having issues like this before

Have the rest of the family conduct a double-blind test. In other words, neither you nor the child now which is which.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 hour ago

Maybe don't fucking feed him milk at all? Whoa mind blown...

[–] [email protected] 57 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Just have a spoon of pesticides after drinking that pure natural raw milk. If it's good for the corn it's good for you.

Don't forget to sun your taint. I hear that cures all sorts of things

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

A sun-goatse of sorts.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 hours ago

Throw in some powerful antibiotics too ... if it's good for the cow, it's good for you

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 hours ago

A bit of roundup and horse paste, the MAGA cure-all.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Of course it was from Fresno, lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

isn't that the place with the freaky haunted pants?

Heyo, that’s where I live 😅

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Relax, it isn't human to human transmissible.

Yet.

Bunch of adluts getting pink eye flu from their kids says it already has been

[–] Kalkaline 7 points 5 hours ago

It hasn't been documented yet, sure, I'll give you that. You and I both have no idea if it has happened already and the patients didn't get tested or they didn't go to the hospital or doctor with the bird flu. They might not have even realized they had the flu.

Hey, I live there and someone just posted on our local Facebook page asking where to get some raw milk. I'll send them a link.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck, dude, it's already in California? I was hoping it was at least somewhat contained to Canada but clearly I haven't been keeping up with the news on the issue.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 hours ago (6 children)

It’s in our factory farming animals. It’s been that way for a while. The administration if just fucking around with it and not culling like they should.

And farmers are concealing their infected herds because they don’t want their animals culled. So just assume it is everywhere. We are probably on pandemic II feat. RFK Jr and Trump very soon and it is going to be a lot of fun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

I sure hope they chug that stuff.
