    prion disease incubation is from 5 years to like 60+

    so this will be a cool bomb to go off sometime down the road, like the early boomer sunset + lead toxicity one we're all currently being subjected to.

      Don't prion diseases just kill you in a year or so?

      EDIT: After incubation I mean

        yeah, i have only ever heard that once they incubate and first symptoms appear, time to fatality is measured in months. so kinda more like an unknown number of people have cortex bombs set for a random interval between 5 and 60 years, than the long emergency of a bunch of agitated and emotionally disregulated elderly people slowly losing their grip on reality.

        i don't really know which one would be more destabilizing, but i really hope the number of bozos out there that soak their snuff in wildlife blood is like under 20.

        i found it somewhere years ago when i guess some very talented sinophobe made it when john cena spoke mandarin (after years of taking classes in an effort to get the WWE to crack the china market) and used it to make a contrite apology to the people of china for mistakenly referring to taiwan as a country in a post promoting Fast and Furious 9.

        obviously, for burger brains, this made him guilty of the highest form of treason and generated a lot of angry content, but when i saw the image containing my pfp i was really impressed with the technical execution and decided to reappropriate it, because to have the strength of Cena with the mind of Mao is the ultimate aspirational #LifeGoals.
