The California-based Raw Milk Institute called the warnings "clearly fearmongering." The institute's founder, Mark McAfee, told the Los Angeles Times this weekend that his customers are, in fact, specifically requesting raw milk from H5N1-infected cows. According to McAfee, his customers believe, without evidence, that directly drinking high levels of the avian influenza virus will give them immunity to the deadly pathogen.

By all means, drink up, morons, get the hell out of our gene pool, we've got enough troubles without your Dimwit DNA.

The problem is they infect the rest of us.

[–] IHeartBadCode@kbin.social 35 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Crazy. The zombie apocalypse started from people wanting to become infected.

No one would watch that movie because it would be too dumb of a plot line.

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

not if you had a cult leader and influencers and a media mogul all working together to push a narrative. People would buy that.

It’ll only be a matter of time until the virus mutates and successfully transmits from human to human.

[–] SecretSauces@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'll still be safe. I don't generally drink human milk.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Believe it or not, human milk is almost exclusively consumed by humans.

[–] inspxtr@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

tell me more about the “almost” part …

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I don’t have an inside scoop, I just try not to speak in absolutes. It’s probably a safe bet that someone, somewhere, must have a story to tell.

[–] inspxtr@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (3 children)

welp, guess you’re right. It’s not common but not just a few someone’s either.

A woman breast feeding two puppies while two Mexican peasants implore her to feed her baby.

Honestly, I get it.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, the fur babies are obviously much cuter and will grow out of their worst baby behaviors much faster than the skin puppy..

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I sincerely wish I could unread "skin puppy"

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I didn't coin the term, I'm just spreading it with gleeful sadism 😛

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago

All, I assume, are very good boys.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

That’s surprisingly wholesome.

This is definitely in the top 10 weirdest things I have seen someone post that has a legitimate Wikipedia entry...

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago

And it's the internet, there are so many people just waiting to well-ackshually you.

I thought I saw something with kittens once, but I hope I’m remembering incorrectly. Don’t think I am though.

It's like the "facemasks are causing COVID-19" thing.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's like homeopathy but even stupider

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 15 points 5 months ago

To be fair to them, that is pretty close to how immunity actually works. Not quite there though.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 months ago

Well it will give immunity, to the ones that survive.
