My favorite:
Van Helsing at it again.
I always liked that the man of faith was the only one actually following personal safety protocol here. Doofus and Sarah Huckabee Postpartum here were just like "hyuck little mysyls milestone day"
I too would want a robe, mask, and gun if these fools approached me.
Is that who that is? I thought it was just some rando, but it's ten times funnier that it was some B-rated corrupt sycophantic rando.
Imagine one of your first memories in this world being getting shot by a priest.
I know it's just a water gun, but babies don't know the difference.
Babies don't know guns in general.
They don't even know what it's like to get shot at, until they're in school.
They will learn
That was supposed to be a subtle part of the humor, yes, good job for figuring that out.
Be glad that was the only thing that priest did to that child
Its been 5-6 years, we don’t know what’s happened since then.
HEADSHOT
I shared this with a buddy and he responded with his favorite.
It doesn't even say what year that is, which is just bad practice.
If it's 2020, that steep curve is because it took till March for it to reach the US.
I get that the point is to criticize his handling of it, but there are plenty of honest ways to do that without using misleading statistics
It's obviously 2020 because it starts at basically zero cases. Also it's weird that your expect rigor from memes.

NOBODY woulda thunk we be doing this shit 6 years later so if it’s unmarked this is from the optimistic past where we thought this shit would blow over so no need to indicate the year
Not American. I know he didn't handle it well and spread misinformation, but how much worse did the USA have it compared to the rest of the world? We all had it rough regardless of our leaders, so can any of it really be attributed to him?
To be clear, I think he's incompetent in so many ways and is perhaps the worst thing to happen to world politics since WW2. I'm just saying covid was out of everyone's hands, how different could it have really been if he handled it better?
The US has the 17th highest deaths per capita and covid was the 3rd largest killer in 2020, behind cancer and heart disease.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_United_States
Not per capita they had the highest number of deaths and highest number of confirmed cases (and experts think that actual cases are much higher due to a lack of mass testing and a shortage of tests)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_by_country_and_territory
The US certainly treated the issue horribly. It became a bizarre political misinformation campaign.
At the same time obesity and mortality from covid have a strong correlation. In wealthy countries it is one of the top factors. Helps explain your stats. Still might have been better with getting vaccines and masking of course.
Yes, he is incompetent and policy-wise he could have done a lot to flatten the curve. I wasn't trying to vindicate him, I was just saying the skate-park-like graph was a little misleading without basic statistical context like what year it was referring to, and whether the number of cases was in the US or worldwide, etc. I think it's entirely possible to criticize and even ridicule him while still being intellectually honest, and showing the initial increase at the onset of the pandemic is just not good practice.
I get that it's just a meme, but I prefer a basic standard of integrity. Otherwise, what really sets us apart from the right-wing troglodytes?
Generally the US just did nothing helpful at a federal level and the Republican party took an ideological stance against preventative measures like masks or social distancing, which meant a large portion of the country went out of their way to avoid such measures or even ban businesses and local governments from implementing them. Schools and universities had their funding threatened if they required masks. I was a grad student / TA at the time and the most we could do was put up flyers that said "please consider wearing a mask, it's not required" and 0 of my students wore them. We had elderly professors retire early because they didn't want to die over such stupidity.

Kowabunmer dude
So anyway, I started blastin'
Fake, gas isn't dense enough to be recorded by thermal imaging.
Nothing to do with the density of the fart, but a lot of temperature differences between the "air" of the fart and outside, apart of the sensibility of the camara, same as you can see at plain sight your breath on cold days. If the fart has much difference with the temperature outside, the camara will capture it.
Sadly not, because even a hairdryer isn't recorded and that's way hotter than the surrounding area.
You're arguing against pre-ai video with words.
A quick search shows quite a bit of thermal video of hairdryer blast
Perhaps the video you saw had the air temperature squashed by it's view of the heater coil
Act choo-choo ally!
If I could see all the germs flying around all the time at my face I’d probably never let anyone speak to me again.
I already feel stressed when I flush a toilet with no lid or use one of those Dyson fans.
I heard that depending on the toilet design, flushing with the lid down is even worse.
Why have you told me this 😦
Always enjoyed this one
Bullshit AoE attack clipping through cover.
🎵These fangs are for you only🎵
Have you ever seen a vape bro blow clouds? That's a pretty good representation of how far your breath can go
So smoking and vaping. Kinda gross in my opinion (but to each their own). But you know what I dislike about them both the most. ?
They have shown me just how much I breathe in other people's breath and that's just horrifying.
And I don't like being reminded visually.
Bet you love public transport on a wet day when all the windows steam up. 😂
I don't need being reminded visually.
I can usually taste the different air that is filled with their breath.
And they feel weird that I want to keep a 1m distance.
Ebola would like a word.
