Since we know he doesn't mess with science/empirical data...how did he get that information?

[-] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 5 points 1 month ago

Put a picture of Trump under the pillow before you go to sleep. During the night, the supreme wisdom of Trump will be focused by the pillow and absorbed by your subconscious mind. In the morning, you’ll just know the correct answer.

Also works with university exams. No need to read any books as long as you have the photo of the relevant professor under your pillow.

sighs I want off of Mr. Bones' wild ride.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: we live in the dumbest timeline.

Today, the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone as a 65-year-old man. Our girls are hitting puberty six years early, and that’s bad, but also our parents aren’t having children. Parents who want to have children do not have access. I have seven children. I feel that God has blessed me with that and I can’t imagine how different my life would be if I did not have that blessing.

RFK jr counting teenager sperm?

our parents aren’t having children

If someone doesn't have children, they're... Not a parent.

Unless ~~you~~ RFK means people with a child already, which makes no sense (and never did) except to religious nuts.

People aren't cats to have litters of up to 6 kittens, and kids don't grow up in 6 months.

They need to be fed, clothed, medicated and educated for 18+ years!

P.S. If you dump your kids out on their 18th birthday, spoilers! You're a bad parent.

this administration spends more time thinking about teenage sperm and circumcisions than is justifiable

Let's practice some critical thinking. Join me!

Teens have half the sperm count of a senior citizen? I'd maybe believe they're equivalent? Maybe? He's getting this from dropping teen pregnancy rates.

Teens have half the testosterone of a senior citizen? Boolshit on it's face. So senior men are more aggressive, more horny, stronger and hairier than teens? Stronger bones too! Also, seniors have more zits. Are you teen boys even trying any more?!

Parents aren't having children. OK. I'll let the audience stew on that one a minute.

We are below replacement right now. That is a national security threat to our country...

True! Not so much a security threat as an economic threat, maybe the same difference? So what's the solution? Kick out the foreigners? Hey yo, Japan! How that working out?

Money says these idiots do what Russia did about their shrinking birth rates. National holiday to stay home and fuck for the Motherland! (Not even joking here.)

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

I'm old. I'm definitely hairier. I'm also stronger than I was as a teen, though far weaker than I was as a young adult. I also weigh 50% more than I did as a teen, and some of that's extra muscle. So those points aren't really relevant.

[-] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Our replacement rate has been low for a long time, but our population has stayed relatively steady.... because of immigration.

Low replacement rate is only bad if you're racist/xenophobic. Otherwise there's usually (in a supposedly first-world country) an easy solution.

And if you think this is a dig on specifically the US, it isn't. Japan and South Korea are about to have insane difficulties with a very obvious and simple solution, and the US had that solution and are destroying it in favor of racism and xenophobia.

Their solution? Pair up teenage girls with 65 year old men.

Is he personally extracting said sperm?

I honestly cannot stand to hear that man speak for more than a sentence.

His voice is a death rattle.

[-] olympicyes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

He’s probably mixing up sperm with testosterone level. Somehow the conversation of testosterone levels came up with a group of kids we work with. One of the young adults who is heavily into weight lifting knew his testosterone levels. The 65 year old man in our group had far higher levels. The reason? He nearly died from cancer and is now on hormone therapy. Apparently the levels are set quite high.

[-] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

Apparently a lot of older men are on supplements or prescriptions for testosterone. Any surprise they’re all so aggro?

[-] KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Perhaps that correlation with aggression is real, but medically-speaking giving older men T supplements is actually important. Low testosterone can cause and exasperate several conditions, including making bones less sturdy. As for the young gym bros and Men With Microphones... they're more of the issue.

[-] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

With the advertisement culture constantly pushing "Total T" (which isn't actually Testosterone) and whatever, it's a profitable market selling to men that they are inadequate and some magic pill will make them a "man" again. Not to completely disregard the actual real medical use for it, however.

The advertisements (especially on linear TV these days like cable) are almost non-stop to push mail order prescription Testosterone and supplements that don't do anything, as well, which suggests the male ego is a very profitable market.

Some info on this from the past:

A recent market analysis reports that prescription sales of testosterone have increased from US$150 million in 2000 to US$1.8 billion in 2011 worldwide, with US and Canada driving the growth in sales numbers. Interestingly, a significant portion of men prescribed testosterone replacement therapy did not meet laboratory criteria for hypogonadism, according to a market analysis.

a recent study revealed that out of seven online-only clinics, six prescribed testosterone to an undercover urologist who had normal testosterone levels and did not meet the treatment criteria set by the American Urological Association (AUA) and the Endocrine Society.

Our girls are hitting puberty six years early

Oh? What’s his supposed correct age for this?

I was taught in college that girls reach puberty earlier now than in prior centuries in part because they are exposed to light for more hours per day thanks to electrification, and puberty is in part triggered by an internal clock keeping track of how much light you’ve been exposed to in your lifetime.

Of course we leaned a lot of shit in college before the internet which turns out to be nonsense now. But I believe exposure to light is more important than we generally recognize. If you trace our evolution back to the beginning, you’ll find light sensitive cells far far earlier than anything involving actual vision.

[-] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago

I learned something new today.

I also did hear that girls go through puberty sooner because girls now are fatter than they used to be due to a number of factors.

[-] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Ya, my biology professor had a theory that it was because of estrogen being introduced to the water supply through birth control. After the pill was introduced breast size started increasing and girls started reaching puberty earlier. Makes sense.

Great, the old dinosaurs are hoarding wealth, power, control over our future, and now to find out sperm as well…

[-] Zier@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

It seems like less, but this is the younger,concentrated version. This reduces transport cost and is greener for the planet. That's what the kids are doing now. Keep up grandpa.
