Please no emotions, I don't want to get my snowflake fee-fees hurt while suffering from the consequences of my moronic actions

It's irritating that ivermectin now carries the stink of weird alternative medicine people. Its really helpful for treating rosacea (for which it is approved by the fda as a topical prescription drug, under the name soolantra)

Like its a perfectly useful antiparasitic and antiinflammatory, but now it will always just be "that weird horse dewormer that dumbfucks take"

Just about everything has been turned into a political issue in the last decade. Medicine (not Healthcare... modern medicines/drugs themselves), beer brands, avocados on toast, beef, eggs, children's films/books (that's not new, I guess, just hitting new levels recently), gas stoves, holidays, black pilots, etc.

I’m convinced that conservatives wake up in the morning and just choose something to be mad at. Green MnM losing her high heels, gas stoves, Starbucks, avocado toast, etc.

[–] expr@programming.dev 10 points 1 week ago

It's not that far from the truth, it's just the thing they pick is what they saw on Fox News that morning.

This is my friend's very most favorite internet article

https://www.phillymag.com/news/2018/08/11/mayonnaise-industry-millennials/

It is about how millennials are ungrateful, unpatriotic mayonnaise haters. It does not appear to a joke article. It fills her with so much joy lol.

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 15 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Holy shit 🤣

My son Jake, who’s 25, eats mayo. He’s a practical young man who works in computers and adores macaroni salad. He’s a good son. I also have a daughter. She was a women’s and gender studies major in college. Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise.

Yeah those things all just mysteriously "became" political.

We'll never be able to truly know who made "black pilots" political 🙄

Interesting as fuck. Not something you'd expect as an outsider.

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

(Not the one who down voted you, I dunno why someone did that) what do you mean by as an outsider? Just that you don't have rosacea? :)

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I knew as I was writing it that the term was bad, but couldn't think of a good one. I meant layman, or something equivalent just for the field of medical science instead of law :-)

You know what they call alternative medicine that actually works? Medicine.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

When the heart started failing dostors became a good choice lol

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The problem is that's not actually alternative medicine. It's medicine, just misused.

Maybe let a doctor decide on what your body really needs, not the price of the bottle?

[–] jdr@lemmy.ml 48 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Ask your doctor if Zombocom is right for you!

[–] el_twitto@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 week ago

You can be anything with Zombocom.

[–] lyrial@anarchist.nexus 15 points 1 week ago

Welcome ... to Zombocom. Welcome!

[–] the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

My voodoo doctor recommends it!

The doctor is a reptiloid, it knows everything, but it wonct talk with a straw man, only with a sovereign homesteader

Horrific, anyone have a good explanation for what I went through?

Well, it wasn’t a high quality educational system, that’s for sure.

I think what this guy needs is more ivermectin.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just stand near them and tell them you got the vaccine. The imaginary spike proteins will kill them because it gave them acute hypochondria.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 days ago

A tragic fate. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person

I want to jump out of my highschool window after smoking angel dust sometimes. Anyone have a good explanation for what I went through?

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 week ago

Totally normal. Your body is just releasing all the toxins you've built up over a lifetime of not smoking angel dust.

[–] fedikitty@piefed.social 23 points 1 week ago

The way I gasped when I read the word ivermectin.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Show the YouTube videos to the EMT to educate them!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

It’s polite to warn the people responsible for saving your life that you’re gonna be a frequent flyer

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is why vets don't give heartgard to new patients unless you do a heartworm test first.

OOP probably has heartworms.

"only objective understanding"

Too late. Should have started with that, dumbass.

lol. Ivermectin is still being ingested by humans in 2026...

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hey, it's a perfectly reasonable solution for humans suffering from parasites. Just because some idiots take it for other things doesn't reduce its usefulness as a drug for humans under specific conditions.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

My personal theory is that a not insignificant number of the people who took it and felt better outside of normal disease progression curves just had worms too.

As in all the other living being on this planet, stupidity in human being should also/usually be fatal and not coddled with ambulances and health care.
