That the "give heroine to pregnant women and cigs to kids" era of the 18-1900s is the same as the "artificial food additives and lab grown meat" of today
Fair point, but at the same time hamas is a terrorist group, they don't care about people's votes and aren't just going to leave because people don't like them, which complicates things
Most notably the fact that it grows so quickly by utilizing cancer cells, also that this is the exact same scenario as the cigarette epidemic, no one knows what exactly are the side effects since this has never been done before. Also it's ironic how most people stay away from preservatives and artificial chemicals because "theyre bad" but will happily down man's attempt at playing god
What's the actual difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell, aside from the fact that cancer cells don't kill themselves
You answered your own question
Is cancer from a cow transmissible to humans?
Who knows? What's the whole point. Were playing god without knowing the consequences.
People knew the effects of tobacco for centuries, actually
Wrong. Doctors lied about it for years when it first came out and long after
Within like 2 years cigarettes went from being something prescribed by doctors to something that everyone knows gives you cancer.
Again, wrong. Early warning signs didn't show up until the late 50s by then it had been 20-30 years to late. And Dr. Luther Terry didn't come in for another 14 after that in '64. Even despite this evidence, the tobacco industry went to massive lengths to discredit the research and downplay the health risks by funding biased research, launched propaganda campaigns, and used public relations strategies to create doubt. It wasn't until '98 that the Master Settlement Agreement came into effect. A whole 68 years before they paid for their crimes.
When something is as heavily scrutinized as vapes or lab-grown meat, you can be damned sure the effects will be widely understood within a couple of decades
Decades? You mean the 7+ decades it took for tobacco? After which everyone had died already? Idk about you but I'm not waiting 10-20-30+ years to find out if I get a new disease named after me.
The fact is people who advocate for this shit don't understand science and just believe what their told to, just like what everyone believed when big tobacco ran those propaganda campaigns for 70 years, or what some still believe about global warming from big oil's propaganda campaigns.
Just because we don't know something today doesn't mean it doesn't exist, humans arent as smart as we give ourselfs credit. And just be we did it in the past, doesn't mean we've learned from those mistakes because clearly you all are still buying the shit they feed you and begging for more.
Israel committing a genocide and trying to justify it due to the actions of Hamas
Never justified it. In the original comment I was pointing how out hypocritical it is to support either side
No need to be offence, it’s not the way to converse with people
Unfortunately that's not how reddit users (lemmy in this case) work, everyone I've had conversations with on this app don't use reason or critical thinking, they jump to conclusions while never leaving their ego chamber. At this point it's just more fun to insult you all since no matter how many facts I give yall, none of you listen anyways. And I'm not the only one who sees it either

I remember reading a study done in the late 1990s (I'm pretty sure it was ford) that looked at who was most likely to buy a pickup truck so they could market them better, and they found the people who buy pickup trucks fall into 2 categories, one, a blue collar boss buying it for his employees, or two, an insecure man in his 30s-50s trying to compensate
I have seen multiple times on Lemmy that the IRS wants people to report income from illegal means and that they don't care to bust someone for it. For example, an illicit drug dealer is expected by the IRS to report their drug sale revenue without having to worry about being caught for drug dealing....
Yes, hypothetically, according to this show i just watched, the best way to launder would be a cash only (or primary) business such as strip clubs, casinos, etc. Or you can simply create any business and make it cash only like a bakery.
That way its much harder to link because there won't be any bank records to say otherwise
