Yeah but that’s the thing nowadays: there’s an attack on facts, proof and science in general. It’s all about feelings and the loudness of the biggest screamers (populist politicians and extremist influencers). Scientists and fact checkers are portrayed as dumb, incompetent, terrorists, etc. These arguments are the weakest possible in a discussion but somehow people just follow these idiots and reject science and facts.
The same happened when the church felt threatened by science during the discovery of the round earth traveling around the sun. The general public was riled up against science, even forcing academia to practice in secret.
That’s how science works in general. Stuff is proven until proven otherwise.
I just don’t believe the pseudoscience claims from RFK or Trump.
See the other comments. Someone linked to the studies stating there was no link found.
Just because something already exists, doesn’t mean it can’t be also caused by something else. Like canser. It already exists. But smoking can cause it too.
Next to that, it’s paracetamol. It predates the discovery/naming of autism. It’s already proven not to be the cause by other studies. Of course these studies could have been wrong, but I highly doubt that.
So this statement is incorrect. Doesn’t change the fact that I don’t believe a word of either Trump or RFK. I still believe science and I still don’t believe pseudoscience.

TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next yearEnglish1·1 month agoAh, but Google is never flying domestic. They sell your data internationally.
Friends of mine are expecting a child. They have an app to compare the current size of the baby. It has the weirdest choices:
- Wedding cake (they are always the same size? Depends on the budget right? So if you’re rich your child is bigger than when you’re poor, when it’s the wedding cake size?)
- flat box of chocolates (always the same size? Flat child?)
- small popcorn bucket
- small pinguin (there are so many differently sized small pinguïns)
- cotton candy (last one I had was huge, I feel sorry for the woman with a child that size in their womb)
- maki
- jackfruit
- rhubarb (so it’s a stick shaped child?)
- kitten (a grows the most as a kitten. They are kitten for the first year. It’s like saying the size of your baby is the size of a baby.)
I have no clue what these sizes are exactly. I do know what 10cm or 20cm is.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next yearEnglish1·1 month agoI’m confused. I read an article about the new 3310 getting the ability to install apps, a long time ago. I found an article on how to do so, but it doesn’t look like the 3310 screen in the screenshots but a general android OS. I thought it had a simplified OS, either their own or a stripped down android (unsure) as it has a tiny screen.
It’s the Nokia 3310 4G model according to this article. But it might be a generic article in which they have the phone model automatically generated by the one you search for?

And it’s only like 60 euros or something. Perfect for multiple day festivals and camping trips at least.

You’re not a fucking airport, Google!
Yeah sorry, based on assumption. Because the US (plus a few tiny islands) refuses to switch to metric even though imperial is obsolete and complicated. It’s also usual practice in the US to use weird things for measurements. Cars, dishwashers, etc.
So in this case it was a wrong assumption on my part.
I’m deeply sorry.
Other people (me) hate it.
You mean wannabe US? (never truly accepted metric system, even discussed to change back to imperial)
Edit: fair point though. My bad.
I don’t get why Americans are doing their best to avoid the metric system. It’s always weird discriptions. Like dishwashers, or in this case, half a giraffe. Just use bananas if (cubic) meters are too complex.
Finally something so I can walk home when drunk.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Science Memes@mander.xyz•Let's hear it, little lemmings.English5·1 month agoYou’ll be the smartest person in the room (graveyard) as their brains have rotted away and you will win any discussion. They’ll have nothing to challenge your arguments. I don’t think this will have any scientific value though. Except maybe from a psychological perspective, as you’re an idiot trying to argue with a grave.
They didn’t say that
