paracetamol was synthesized in 1877. use a real argument, like the left-handedness graph.

Italian immigrants in the 20s were proven feeble minded by US cutting edge science that gave them IQ tests in English.

What graph? I'm left handed, am I autistic now as well??

Someone can refresh my memory, but didn't they used to force left handed children to write with their right hands because something something satanic forces?

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Basically yes.

Yes, and the graph reflects that. The visible prevalence of left handedness increased when we stopped trying to beat the demons out of left handed children. Teachers would beat kids’ knuckles with a yardstick if they caught them writing with their left hands.

It’s not that there were suddenly more left handed people; Those people had always existed, but got beat until they used their right hand instead. When we stopped beating them, they became more visible.

the latin word for right is "dexter", as in "ambidextrous". the latin word for left is "sinister". you do the ~~math~~ numerology.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago

My wife is Gen-X from eastern Europe (cold war era for those not getting the timeline). She was born left handed but that was considered to be such a bad thing that they forced her to use her right hand for everything. So now she has this mishmash where she does things she grew up with like using a fork, writing, etc. with her left hand, new things (teen+ years) like basketball with the left, and others like Tennis with both.

It isn't that left handed people didn't exist, its that they were "corrected".

Paracetamol, the active ingredient of Tylenol was first created in 1887. That doesn't change that linking autism to Tylenol or Paracetamol is plain stupid and lacks any scientific foundation.

[–] IllNess@infosec.pub 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Jeffrey Epstein has given Tylenol to hundreds of people. Are there files somewhere that shows a record of these people?

You can check for for teenage mothers of autistic children in florida and new york.

For the ones who were old enough.

[–] nocklobster@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Your thinking of Cosby, and that wasn’t Tylenol

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 31 points 3 days ago

I'm so happy we voted for someone to actually stand by REAL science. Let's go after that placebo thing next! I hear it's a menace to society!

Who knew fucking couches makes you autistic.

Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen. But with Tylenol, don't take it.

I'm pretty sure a goa'uld will would actually improve matters.

Both brain worms and tylenol increase blood flow to the brain.

One can only hope

We really waste our Conservatives by not insisting they all get really into theatre.

[–] aarRJaay@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Not taking Tylenol or not being vaccinated appears to cause stupid.
