There's nothing funny about the current numbers but this did make me laugh.

Ok, I need to work harder given my previous performance at working out right-wing memes (was totally thrown by "cat boys" earlier).
I'm going to guess it's a mask thing. Would have been harder on the bandwidthz thread, mind...

Judging by who posted it on facebook, I'm pretty sure it's about the masks.

Also, I had no clue about the cat boys thing either. Tbh, I thought it was a British thing and I didn't understand the reference.

Glad you asked

Exactly. The world has gone very strange.

I want to see video of the moment when someone who paid $1,500 for this finds out that nurses can distinguish human arms from replicas.

'No time to die: An in-depth analysis of James Bond's exposure to infectious agents'
Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, Volume 44, November–December 2021.

Global travelers, whether tourists or secret agents, are exposed to a smörgåsbord of infectious agents. We hypothesized that agents pre-occupied with espionage and counterterrorism may, at their peril, fail to correctly prioritize travel medicine. To examine our hypothesis, we examined adherence to international travel advice during the 86 international journeys that James Bond was observed to undertake in feature films spanning 1962-2021. Scrutinizing these missions involved ~3113 min of evening hours per author that could easily have been spent on more pressing societal issues. We uncovered above-average sexual activity, often without sufficient time for an exchange of sexual history, with a remarkably high mortality among Bond's sexual partners (27.1; 95% confidence interval 16.4-40.3). Given how inopportune a bout of diarrhea would be in the midst of world-saving action, it is striking that Bond is seen washing his hands on only two occasions, despite numerous exposures to foodborne pathogens. We hypothesize that his foolhardy courage, sometimes purposefully eliciting life-threatening situations, might even be a consequence of Toxoplasmosis. Bond's approach to vector-borne diseases and neglected tropical diseases is erratic, sometimes following travel advice to the letter, but more often dwelling on the side of complete ignorance. Given the limited time Bond receives to prepare for missions, we urgently ask his employer MI6 to take its responsibility seriously. We only live once.

(Seems as good a thread as any for it).

You could also use it for stranger wanks so it wouldn’t be a complete waste of money.

One wonders what proportion of the antivaxx mob might be, ah, rather more sexually self-sufficient than the general population at large
