    I’ve always enjoyed how God is simultaneously portrayed as all-powerful and all-knowing, yet extremely fragile and petty. There’s the “wrong” kind of relationship, heavy metal, now fluoride, and the list goes on.

      That reminds me of the fascist playbook, where the enemy is both strong and weak.

      Maybe we should just call it the “lying to control others” playbook.

    So whenever you see someone with a lot of teeth missing and the ones still there yellow and brown, you know they are connected to God. All people in heaven have bad teeth. Wait a minute… Is England heaven?

        Ah, the Hollywood anchorman smile, or cheap car salesman smile. Creepy AF.

        In Dutch there’s a saying “wie mooi wil gaan moet pijn doorstaan”, translated “who wants to go pretty needs to endure pain”. But these days with all the botox, bleaching, fillers, lifters, etc it’s more like “endure pain to become a plastic toxic nightmare”.

          It used to mean that for getting buff or just some hair removal. But yeah. Body dismorphia is actively promoted because it makes money.

            Yeah the marketing ghouls have worked out that making people feel scared, angry, and sad means they’re more likely to impulsively pay for stuff they don’t need in a panic or out of desperation.

            Funny thing is it used to be trying to get the consumer into a happy and relaxed state so they felt they could depart with some of their disposable income to “treat themselves”.

            Now that more consumers don’t have disposable income, they’re leaning more heavily into preying on insecurities and fears.

    Clickbait title, but decent journalism.

    That flouride quote is from one of the 5,000 rando attendees in one meeting. It was not uttered by who you’re supposed to think said it.

    Not that it matters, because it might as well have been said by Oz or RFK Jr or Orange Julius.

    If MAGA is any indication, being connected to Yahweh’s wi-fi is a horrific thing that destroys body and soul. Give me the fluoride.

      50% of Americans are delusional religious nuts, not unexpected they would become our leaders. It’s very sad to see, religion really harms society.

        Religion is the single most regressive thing to ever happen to our species. We’d be so much more advanced by now if it never existed.

    “Fluoride disconnects one from God,” a listener with the username “Peter & Melissa BioHacking Stem Cells” wrote during one call.

    This is why aliens don’t stop to communicate with us. They see what kind of trash we’re producing as a species and letting rise to the top of our social structures and they just move on to the next solar system.

      Or maybe nobody ever makes it to interstellar travel. They always end up destroying themselves first, like we’re currently busy doing.

        This is probably it. I’m sure greed is a thing with all sentient beings and greed always leads to destruction.

          It’s highly suspicious that we can’t see ANY evidence of an interstellar civilization considering how far we can see. Over 13 billion years, and nobody in visible range is flying big ships around or anything? I’ve no doubt intelligent life is out there, but SOMETHING seems to be keeping all of it from doing a Star Trek.

      Douglas Adams was right about the hyperspace bypass, it just goes around us rather than through our system. Earth is the galactic equivalent of a shitty racist map dot town in Arkansas

    That’s dangerous information to freely put out into the world, jr… As an atheist, the only reasonable thing to do is to craft a fluoride knife and use it to strike down god. I’ll come out correct, one way or another.

      See, it’s common knowledge that you can’t “take anything with you when you go,” but it’s also known that your body will rise out of the ground on the last holy day, so clearly your physical form is made manifest. What THAT means is that if I fuse my ulna and radius into a triangular bayonet, and then rip off my hand when I appear before god, I can stab him! And now I know what material to coat my bones in!

      AND I KNOW WHAT FLUORIDIC COMPOUND PENETRATES SKIN TO THE BONE!!

      MAAAAARGARET?!? WHERE’S THAT HFl THAT WE HAVE SITTING AROUND?
