I didn't watch the episode because their 9/11 episodes led me not to trust them on conspiracy stuff. It looks like I made the right call. Did they really buy the Warren Commission? Lol. Lmao.

    Respectfully, that study makes the frogs trans, not gay.

    Secondly, the study hasn’t been replicated since and additional studies have found nothing of the sort. Here’s the wiki on the drug, go to the amphibian section.

    I don’t understand how someone who was an anti-conspiracy atheist turns a 180 but you do you.

      What's a crazier conspiracy theory, the idea that Iran is a threat to American democracy, or the idea that chemical pollution is altering wildlife?

      That was my only point in sharing that study (it's a paraphrased quote from the podcast). I know that the frogs aren't actually turned gay. Endocrine disrupting pollution is a major environmental issue regardless of this single drug or study. Be wary of wikipedia, most pages are written by a company's PR department.

        only about a 1/3 were written by Steven Pruitt, don't exaggerate it. :bougie-wink: and that was years ago now they have way more nameless private sector stooges writing articles and controlling talk pages. There's a tampermonkey plugin called "whocolor" that lets you see what users are most responsible for any given page.

      I think you need to look up what the company that initially paid Dr. Hayes for his first study has done to him in the years following that.

      Bootlicking capital because some grifter turned a legit thing into a meme isn't a good look.
