Unfortunately, it didn’t finish the job.

Maybe it starved to death? He strikes me as the type of person a zombie would ignore.

I really really hate the meme jokes about brain worms.

The joke that RFK Jr. Has brain worms is actually better than the real situation.

Basically, he claimed he had brain worms in court to justify not giving his now ex-wife alimony, due to his supposed cognitive issues. He blacklisted her in their town and financially fucked with her until she committed suicide.

No medical evidence was given for the supposed brain worm.

The joke about him having a brain worm is cover for what he really did, which was much worse.

What I’m hearing is we should joke about alimony and suicide? Dark.

I’m kidding! You’re right, although I want to add that I’ve even heard the worm thing as a reason for his bad decisions, etc… Cover there, too, as plenty of people with no brain damage make terrible choices and have horrible anti-science views.

He isn’t ridden with brain worms; he IS the worm.

Where science?

The book is a staple for science education and won numerous awards from science and education organisations.

ok, but by this measure everything that isn’t impossible ; is science.

Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works on 27 May 17:06 next collapse

Yes, and everything that can be proved to be impossible is also science.

It would be cool to have a specific instance for children’s book memes, though.

That’s the beauty of science. :) You’re supposed to play and experiment.

like the worm did with rfk’s brain

Nature works in mysterious ways ;)
