This man is a GENIUS!

Since I genuinely cant tell yet if this site is smarter or dumber than reddit, let me point out the fact that this is obvious sarcasm.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

There is no longer any belief that is so outrageous that you can't find many people that genuinely hold it. Plain text is bereft of the unconscious social cues that could get around that problem, so there is no way to tell sarcasm just through print.

[–] manefraim@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

This is a corollary to Poe's Law.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 33 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (2 children)

I mean if your parents didn't have kids, you don't exist and thus cannot have kids. 🤷‍♂️

[–] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 16 points 18 hours ago

The term for the statement in formal logic is "vacuous truth"

The statement is true, because the antecedent can't be

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Checkmate rationalist...

...or is it?

[–] Caption@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

*How would it be checkmate when he doesn't exist? Think, people, THINK. *

[–] dawcas@scribe.disroot.org 2 points 12 hours ago

Worm starved to death.

[–] GutterRat42@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

If my parents couldn't have kids, I wouldn't have to listen to his bullshit

Oh this quote is much older than that guy's relevance. I wouldn't doubt he said it but he surely wouldn't have been the first.

[–] rethnor@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

The article does go on to remind us just how obsessed they are with sperm and testicles

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This platform never lets the facts get in the way of a story, do they?

[–] Zombie@feddit.uk 11 points 19 hours ago

This platform isn't a homogenous entity. You're also on this platform.

Welcome to the internet.

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago

Sir, this is a shitposting community. Facts and logic are not allowed.

[–] molten@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Ironic considering his parents didn't have any kids that lived.

[–] Art3mis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 13 hours ago

100% of people born will die. Stay afraid.

Someone needs to start taking out billboards with direct quotes from this dude and Trump.

No slogans or message, just their own words.

Although Snopes think he never said it.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 7 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

I have always thought that billboards should be one of the main political messaging tools. The FOX crowd live in a resonance chamber, but they can't avoid driving or walking by billboards. Intelligently designed billboards can be devastating, and can't be tuned out. They should not be anecdotal, a lot of money and effort should be put in them.

[–] motruck@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

Seriously. I can't believe this isn't parody.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's technically true lol

If your parents were infertile than you wouldn't exist so you wouldn't have kids either.

Nothing in that sentence implies that you not being able to have kids means your parents couldn't have kids.

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What if your parents were adopted?

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Adoptedness is only partially heritable; if one of your parents is adopted, chances are you're 50% adopted too.

Found the cat.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago
[–] village604@adultswim.fan 22 points 1 day ago

He's not technically wrong, though.

Infertile isn't the same thing as sterile, and treatments like IVF can help couples conceive when they wouldn't be able to naturally.

Many conditions that can cause infertility have genetic components.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

Wow. If stupidity was painful, this guy would scream at the top of his lungs.

[–] mbp@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 day ago

Infertility runs in my partner's family.

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Brain problems run in his family

[–] raman_klogius@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago

this completely absolves the worm 💯

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 22 hours ago

I understand what he's saying he's just saying it badly. Like yea if you needed fertility treatments to conceive then your offspring may need it to.

[–] darkmogool@feddit.org 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

whait… the super spreader realy said this? xD

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 2 points 15 hours ago

No. Check snopes.

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did you know Wombats poop cubes? Their intestines and pelvic structure shape the feces into perfect blocks that don't roll away—ideal for marking territory on rocks and uneven ground without it sliding off.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 day ago

I did. It's quite odd

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Yall acting like people who are infertil can't adopt a kid smh

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Nah then the kids that get adapt will be infirt

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 hours ago
[–] GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Clearly and obviously talking about biological parents and kids.
