[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 22 points 1 day ago

Just call them woke and watch as the conservatives kill off their gut biome

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Woke shitlibs are trying to stop you from boofing bleach to deport foreign gut flora, don't let them!!

**US microbiome researchers

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 22 points 2 days ago

That’s the only country.

[-] Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

Eh, if they fund research in other countries they also have to abide by this if they want continued funding.

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 18 hours ago

Oh, the americans don't do that anymore.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 24 points 1 day ago

Ohh 😮 ohhhhh

Okay, everybody get your cash out we're going to crowdsource a 30 second ad on Fox News.

"Scientists find gut biome bacteria to be extremely diverse. Now we all know that diversity is wrong but you can fix this yourself, because if there's one thing that those woke bacteria hate, it's bleach. News at 11"

[-] AspieEgg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 day ago

This is literally happening. Without getting too specific so her job stays safe, my sister works as an ocean researcher for the government. They removed any mention of the word “diversity” and “biodiversity” from their research and so far, they haven’t lost their jobs yet.

Why would they get fired if they complied with the fascist demand?

[-] scoobford@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Because of all the DOGE cuts and/or fascist skullduggery.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Took me a while to realise it's because Trump administration is aggressively scrubbing anything to do with "diversity"

"I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.

"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

But there is no propaganda in America

And the streets are paved with cheese!

"a whole buncha different bacteria in there"

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

We’ve got all the best bacteria. Everyone says so.

[-] D_C@lemm.ee 26 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's perfectly ok to use the word diversity in research, and for any other reasonable issue, in forwards thinking countries.

If your government doesn't like that word then I've got bad news for you...

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

I can smell that bad news right now.

[-] RQG@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Time to start a revolution or flee Imo.

[-] Dojan@pawb.social 8 points 2 days ago

Kissing isn’t the only thing one should do like the French.

[-] Hereforpron2@lemmynsfw.com 62 points 2 days ago

Big beautiful biome

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 days ago

heterogeneity

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

They'll now have to use the Newspeak word "plentykind".

[-] Bravo@eviltoast.org 7 points 1 day ago

"Wide assortment" would be my guess.

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Competition

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 days ago

[-] guango@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago
