He leads the surgeons into battle whenever there is a war. In the past the Surgeon General would wear white scrubs and ride a horse to lead the charge, but nowadays the role is more ceremonial and administrative than combat-orientated. Some traditions still hold true to this day - in their final year all medical students training to be surgeons must undertake an intensive course in sword fighting and pledge their life to that of the Surgeon General.
@Tervell is going to do a !history@hexbear.net post series with some of their ceremonial cavalry saber-scalpels later
A westoid top public health official with a militarized aesthetic. Dude has never served in the military lol
What.
What level of fascism are you on?
Now I'm remembering a meme about senior garbage collectors having a pic taken as generals or something

but that is pretty cool though
Brandon needs to create a Podcaster's Corps so Alice can fulfill her dream of wearing a fancy ceremonial uniform.
NOAA (the weather forecasting agency) also has a uniformed, quasi-military branch lead by a bunch of rear-admirals who are actually university professors appointed to the position. Although that makes marginally more sense since they are in charge of a couple ships. The Surgeon-General is just the government spokesman for public health issues.

She was a black woman, so you can imagine the faux outrage.
He personally writes warnings on every pack of cigarettes about how cigarettes are bad for you.
The American healthcare system is so fucked up we all have to share one surgeon, and he takes Sundays off.
The medical profession's equivalent of an attorney general.
Pretty soon we'll have an engineer general too.
It feels like this is the sort of thing people should read in like a biography or off hand comment in an article about you and just go "hmm, neat lil' weird quirk", if you post about it yourself it immediately becomes too weird because now you want people to know about it instead of just having your cone treats in peace.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I love burger buns--without the burger. Happy national empty burger bun day!
Bread is great, but I think there's better breads to eat solo than the typical toppingless burger bun
Fairly sure I've eaten an ice cream cone without ice cream before when baked or something but I definitely wouldn't go out and buy one at an ice cream shop and then tweet about it
a long time ago a big store-sized box of ice cream cones fell off the back of a truck in front of my bestie's house, i think there were something like 250 cones in it to start with. they technically fulfill a particular kind of craving but they're pretty disappointing
Tf is he just trolling everybody? I hope so. If I was surgeon general I hope I'd make weirdo tweets like this lol
It's okay to buy supermarket "cannolis" and eat them withou tfilling. It's not okay to go to an icecream shop and do this.
Waffle/sugar cones are just curled cookies. It is eccentric but not suspicious to eat one on its own.
Wafer cones, though... anyone eating one of those on its own I would instantly assume to be a psychopath.
Wafer cones are a Very Nice Texture though. Waffle cones have more complex flavor but they're often way too dry. On the other hand sometimes they are chocolate dipped
Cardboard is a Very Nice Texture. I also do not eat my ice cream with it.
The American culinary contribution is foods that are eaten for color and texture rather than flavor.
I have autism so texture is either on equal footing with flavor, sometimes more important
Cardboard's texture isn't that good for eating fwiw, even though you'd think the corrugated layers give it a satisfying cronch contrast, typically the cellulose fibers make it too tough to easily bite through or chew which ruins that effect
Oh yeah I've snacked on the biodegradable ones that are made out of cellulose or sorghum or whatever, the cronch isn't as satisfying as you'd hope but the way they dissolve on your tongue is pretty fun
I used to eat so much weird (non-edible) shit as a kid that I'm basically a garbage sommelier :commiku:
:shocked-pikachu: :pika-cousin-suffering: :surprised-pika: :kelly:
There are wafer cookies, though, but I guess they often have some sort of filling.
This reminds me of Tom Cotton running marathons so he can eat birthday cake everyday.
Ice cream cones are the best part of ice cream tho, this man is just brave enough to embrace that.
Just say you prefer cookies to ice cream without going through whatever the fuck this is.
