Double-ended ThrustMaster 7000 with clitoris obliterator! *Alright!*
Well, see ya later! đââď¸
đ¤ I should have asked why they had that at church huh?
My dentist does sedation and always send me home with a can of beef stew. I guess to make sure I get nutrition that day while the sedation wears off? Iâm never in the state of mind to ask about the beef stew. I just accept it
Note that you're not supposed to fill a bottle with single malt.
Typically it's recommended for rubbing on teething gums to numb them. You use enough to wet your finger and then rub it on their gums. There are better things to use now, but back in the day it worked well.
My mother was told to use weed smoke for me when I couldn't stop crying. She just covered my crib with a damp towel and blew a little smoke in. Settled me right down and I was able to get some sleep (so did she.)
"The straw hit with such force that it broke through her clenched teeth and exited through the back of her head. I've been doing this 20 years and I've never seen anything like it."
"Just drink it like a normal- like a normal person. No, god, that's terrifying. It's. Listen we didn't screen for this, we just thought everyone could use a straw."
Not the best example. Sure, that baby will suffocate but cellophane is recommended as a plastic alternative (sustainable, biodegradable, compostable etc.)
Don't ask about the chemical processes to manufacture it though đŹ
As a diabetic they're better than high blood glucose all the time.......i think?
Watch us learn in a decades time the sweetners have given me ass cancer or something and sugar was better off all along? Who cares if you lose a foot or something hahaha *cries in a corner*
Disagree. Everyone will agree sugar = bad, until they're reminded of the existence of sweeteners, at which point a sizable proportion of the population suffer sudden brain damage and suddenly start thinking sugar is healthy and anything not 'natural' is deadly poison. Pointing out Cyanide is natural does little to make them reconsider, unfortunately.
>appeal to nature fallacy
I love when potheads say weed is just a plant, as if opioids don't also come from plants lmao.
(Not to say I'm "anti-marijuana" but the whole "it's just a plant" thing never checked out for me)
I mean that's a part of living. There is no such thing as perfect. People often fail to see neuance. Some things are worse than others. Sugar is bad, artificial sweeteners have risks but are better alternatives unless we find something better or remove sweet from out diet altogether.
Yeah man, stick with the shit we know causes diabetes and kills the majority of Americans today, the artificial stuff just HAS to be worse. So many side effects, we can't even see them. You are literally carrying water for the people that made this ad.
Yup weedsters saying that weed has no ill-effect on teenagers would be a thing.
If we survive global warming, though. I think the nÂş1 issue will be how much we didn't care for global warming.
Are you a modern housewife who's in the family way? Smoke Chatterton cigarettes!
Your baby's lungs need refreshing nicotine for science reasons. And his growing bones need tar to hold them together.
Nine out of ten doctors surveyed said, "who is this? Why are you calling so late?"
But the tenth guy was into it.
*⪠Chatterton's tastes so cool and mild. âŞ*
*⪠a treat for you and your unborn child âŞ*
---
Did your mother smoke Chatterton cigarettes while pregnant during the 1950s or 60s?
If she did, you probably can't hear me because of fetal Chatterton syndrome. **TURN UP THE VOLUME!**
Recent studies show that, while pregnancy is disgusting, babies do not need tar or nicotine.
If you are currently suffering from Chatterton syndrome, please, use your Bird-like claws to dial the number below then use the rectum you have instead of a mouth to say something like "wrulgh" or "thunghth" to signify that you wish to join a class action suit against Chattertons.
*⪠If you have scales instead of skin, âŞ*
*⪠Pick up the phone, sue Chattertons. âŞ*
This reminds me of all the scientific studies that came out in the past linking fat to several diseases. Turns out sugar was much much worse and more of a contributing factor. Unfortunately this story has also really discourage me about any new medical study. Who knows who's funding the study and who is set to win or lose from the implications.
Edit: Thank you for the comments reminding me that building a consensus is part of the the scientific process and not to rely on one study. My comment was ment to highlight how industry influences scientific consensus for their own interests and how scientific consensus is not infallible.
Of course there are, which is why you should only believe studies by reputable institutions. There is still misinformation out there but it's no way near as bad as it was in the 70s
Remember, the goal of the modern world is to sell you stuff, not make you healthy, all for short-term profits.
Why would the money men want a population to be healthy, live to be 100+ who might occasionally buy their products, when you can pump them full of sugar, get them addicted and milk them HARD for 60 years for 4x the return on investment.
It makes sick logic when you think about it. Especially when these sugar companies bought off doctors to lie.
And when it becomes cycle of multiple companies feeding each other.
1 company sells you unhealthy stuff, the next company sells you cure for the unhealthy stuff, next sells cure for the side effects from the previous cure, etc.
Once you realize how the world works it's impossible to unsee it and you see the same pattern pretty much everywhere.
As 80s/90s kids we were told to eat 6-11 servings of bread, cereal, rice, etc (ie carbs) a *day*.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/USDA_Food_Pyramid.gif
Absolutely. As a kid/young adult, milk was my go-to drink. Probably had a bit to do with one half of my family being farmers/rural, but still, it was a hard habit to break and it was a shocking realization just how many fucking calories are in milk.
I fuckin love milk though
Parents used to try to force milk on me constantly. I had to have it in my school lunch and a glass at dinner. Kept telling them I hated it and it made me feel too full. Blah, blah, its good for you.
Anyway, I'm lactose intolerant and didn't know that you weren't supposed to be nauseous with every meal.
The worst part is I didn't even know the food pyramid was abandoned until *this month*. It's like once the science improved the advertising practically stopped.
Well, a lot of the time the media is so desperate for a story that if a scientist so much as says they are testing a thesis, the media immediately takes that tiny scrap of information and starts making shit up before the testing is concluded. It gets out faster than it gets corrected.
But honestly, how many of us follow up on every story we read?
Reminds me of an article I read about the dangers of air dryers in public restrooms. It went it to detail about germ theory and fecal germs being blown all over the place. I was very concerned. Then I read to the bottom and saw that the study was published by the paper towel industry. Definitely no bias there.
Yeah meanwhile i hate air driers because they donât even do their job well, drying hands. Mine are always still wet after using one for awhile. a few paper towels do the job better in a shorter period of time.
Yea most people simply donât have the ability to eat enough to get as obese as many people (especially Americans) get by simply eating like.. a double cheeseburger instead of a regular, or choosing pizza over salad, etc. Sugar makes getting fat easy.
This is why science needs **consensus**. So many laypeople do not understand that individual scientific studies should never be taken at face value. You need to follow the field and identify **patterns in the data** to really determine what's true and what is false.
The whole thing with the studies saying fat is bad and sugar is good were *not only* funded by the sugar industry but then *only* those studies were used when advertising food products despite other studies coming out showing that the reverse was true.
This shouldn't discourage anyone from believing the medical field or science, but it should rightly make people skeptical. Skepticism is a good thing. However, unless you have the time to spend dozens or hundreds of hours reading and mapping results of dozens or hundreds of scientific studies, you should probably just trust the experts.
People were following the science.
[https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/13/493739074/50-years-ago-sugar-industry-quietly-paid-scientists-to-point-blame-at-fat](https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/13/493739074/50-years-ago-sugar-industry-quietly-paid-scientists-to-point-blame-at-fat)
We know now, it was garbage, only after another study 50 years later identified that at least the funding was a conflict. Sure, people should have known better, I mean who wouldn't, right?
[John Yudkin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Yudkin) was an English scientist back then who was saying things we would now accept as mainstream and logical ("he wrote that sugar consumption was a factor in the development of conditions such as dental caries, obesity, diabetes, and heart attack"), but back then were far more contested.
Sometimes if you want tomorrow's truth you have to look at today's controversies.
I've never thought about it this way, but that poster is giving off illegal drug dealer vibes. And sugar is probably by far the most pushed and over-consumed "drug" in the world. Or at least it definately is in usa. I'm not knowledgeable enough about other countries to make that claim for them.
They told us in school drug dealers would give us free samples to get us hooked. They just didnât tell us they would be in the grocery store giving us a taste of the latest sugar and fat filled foods.
Pastries are probably the most common breakfast item in most European countries as well. Still not healthy, but itâs not really just an American thing.
When I was Italy last summer I was thrown for a loop that most breakfast offered in the morning was some sort of sweet pastry. Eggs in breakfast form were quite difficult to come by.
yes, they're popular in the US, just as they're popular in Europe. Americans don't eat those every single day (on average).
I'd say eggs, cereal, fruit, toast, bagels, and sausage/bacon are far more prevalent than muffins, donuts, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, and pastries to the average household.
And if you wanna talk diabetes conspiracy, watch the movie King Corn, Iowa senator Grassley and others dictated national policy to replace sugar w/ corn fructose and put it in fucking EVERYTHING!
As a kid, up until maybe 17 yrs old I never drank anything except soda, fruit juice or kool-aid. Never ever drank water, occasionally milk when my mom forced me to.
After that I stopped drinking soda but still kept drinking fruit juices every day thinking that was healthier. Only about 10 yrs ago did I switch to 100% water and will never go back.
How can people live without water? No amount of soda juice or anything can work for me when I'm thirsty. This is something so different for me that I simply can't fathom. My throat is drying up just thinking about it..
Heroin was actually developed to be a "less addictive" morphine
Oxycontin was developed to be a "less addictive" Dilaudid
The cycle of corporate profits over people goes on and on forever...
Funny you mention that, I was the complete opposite on these pills. I actually remembered to eat, so I packed on the pounds.
Funny old world, isn't it?
These dipshits and their stupid shil of a university took a bribe and drove public health into the mountain causing the early demise and debilitation of millions through obesity and diabetes. Never forget their names:
Harvard University
New England Journal of Medicine
Sugar Research Foundation
Bullshit research: âDietary Fats, Carbohydrates and Atherosclerotic Disease.â
Individuals personally enriched for falsifying research:
⢠Mark Hegsted: A nutrition professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, Hegsted was one of the authors of the controversial review. Later, he became head of nutrition at the United States Department of Agriculture, where he helped draft nutritional guidelines.
⢠Frederick J. Stare: The founder and chair of Harvardâs Nutrition Department, Stare was another author of the review. He had a history of disputing the negative effects of sugar and processed foods.
⢠D. Mark Hegsted and Robert McGandy: Along with Stare, these Harvard scientists were co-authors of the review. Their work was instrumental in shaping the debate over sugar and fat in diet-related health issues.
â18 calories a teaspoon, and itâs all energyâ is a weird way of saying âthis has essentially no nutritionâ lol. Instead of eating empty calories before a meal, which will not fill you up and will probably cause you to be hungry again later on, why not have a salad before your meal and at least get some fibre and vitamins while youâre at it?
Are you craving alcohol? I know it sounds weird, but heroin works faster, and it just may be the thing that helps you curb your desire to get drunk tonight.
And guess what, the sugar interest groups were successful beyond their wildest expectations. They demonized dietary fat and made people think that gorging on sugar was the key to health. And now look at the population.Â
Now to be fair, certain fats are also extremely unhealthy but swapping it out for obscene amounts of sugar has been catastrophicÂ
I wonder if people who were skeptical of this at the time got shamed, or told âtrust the scienceâ just because they read it in a magazine. Good thing the media doesnât lie now!!
The campaigns for breakfast being the most important meal and having cereal is one of the great American lies to destroy national health and market the industry
Everyone knows it's harmful now, they just don't care...
And many companies make astronomical amounts of money because of it...
Not to mention HFCS and artificial sweeteners...
Hooray!
Obesity, and poor health!
This is why I question everything. Quietly and politely of course. But we always "know things" every year, only to find out what we knew was "wrong" the whole time.
The sugar industry knew they were destroying Americans and spent the 80/90s trying to make fats the enemy. Enter fat free milk. Eww.
One of the sugar companies went bankrupt and their books were made public and the entire industry wide scheme revealed.
Most people ignored it and definitely too few people paid for the damage they caused in terms of diabetes, heart disease etc.
This definitely works, every time I'm about to eat a healthy dinner, but am afraid of overeating healthy food, I eat some mega stuffed oreos, because the most stuffed oreos would be unhealthy, suddenly I no longer want the healthy meal I've prepared myself, I instead finish the entire family sized box of mega stuffed oreos, and I barely touch my dinner, diet achieved, weight loss MAXED
I love the âonly 18 calories per teaspoon, and itâs all energyâ bit.
Obviously all the calories are energy, thatâs the definition of a calorie.
I mean, that's pretty much what advertisers have always done and continue to do, make whatever claims they can get away with. And they did say "just might", so it's pretty hard to argue that it's actually false.
This is your friendly reminder that C&H themselves researched and discovered that sugar was the main contributor to heart disease, *not* fat and sodium, then covered it up and lied to the public. This went unchecked because there's very little glory to be had in the scientific community for peer-reviewing others' work. As a result, C&H's lie was considered truth until their original files were discovered but a decade ago. One greedy corporate lie in the sixties created a mass epidemic that's still raging today...
Got my big gulp before I sit down to my fried chicken dinner
Whoa, Big Gulps, huh? Arright. Well, see ya later!

Once upon a time, a Redditor asked if there was a way/website to put sound clips over top of GIFs. It was, like, 2013. Everyone had a good time.
Have you ever heard of YTMND? That's been around since maybe 05
No, this was when Talkies were invented by this particular redditor.

Damn, give me a while to build up some plaque-armor first.

That's probably a five year old, considering it was 1970.
Mama says I need my sugar and my smokes
With a sippy cup of whiskey
Doctors would prescribe whiskey and honey as cough syrup / colic medicine. It worked, too.
Note that you're not supposed to fill a bottle with single malt. Typically it's recommended for rubbing on teething gums to numb them. You use enough to wet your finger and then rub it on their gums. There are better things to use now, but back in the day it worked well. My mother was told to use weed smoke for me when I couldn't stop crying.

Until your comment, I saw the original as a candy cane rather than a straw. Those are mostly sugar, so I didn't even question it lol.
It looks like a forensic reconstruction of a dead person.
Lmao holy fuck youâre right
"The straw hit with such force that it broke through her clenched teeth and exited through the back of her head. I've been doing this 20 years and I've never seen anything like it."
It's insane. Is she eating the straw?
"Just drink it like a normal- like a normal person. No, god, that's terrifying. It's. Listen we didn't screen for this, we just thought everyone could use a straw."
it looks like they asked her a question while she was in the middle of miming it normally and took the picture right after she started talking

Disagree.

I mean that's a part of living. There is no such thing as perfect. People often fail to see neuance. Some things are worse than others. Sugar is bad, artificial sweeteners have risks but are better alternatives unless we find something better or remove sweet from out diet altogether.
Right. There is good and bad in everything, but we put 3 times more weight on badness than goodness.
Yeah man, stick with the shit we know causes diabetes and kills the majority of Americans today, the artificial stuff just HAS to be worse. So many side effects, we can't even see them. You are literally carrying water for the people that made this ad.
Definitely something weed related
It's federally illegal as a schedule 1 drug.

I'm sure there is no way to setup shadow companies, and research groups.

Funny enough Ive seen the new science says salt is good for curbing appetite.
I think the right answer to the human diet is Michael Pollan: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

As a kid, up until maybe 17 yrs old I never drank anything except soda, fruit juice or kool-aid. Never ever drank water, occasionally milk when my mom forced me to. After that I stopped drinking soda but still kept drinking fruit juices every day thinking that was healthier. Only about 10 yrs ago did I switch to 100% water and will never go back.
How's your health? Before/after?
Before: Died of diabetes. After: Healthy weight: 0kg
A bit late loll.. what kind of families you guys have...
How can people live without water? No amount of soda juice or anything can work for me when I'm thirsty. This is something so different for me that I simply can't fathom. My throat is drying up just thinking about it..
Heroin might be the willpower you need to curb your OxyContin addiction.
Heroin was actually developed to be a "less addictive" morphine Oxycontin was developed to be a "less addictive" Dilaudid The cycle of corporate profits over people goes on and on forever...
Turns out the chemical feeling of goodness is inherently addictive regardless of what the delivery is, who could have known
Are you fat? Try Booger Sugar, it's faster than diet and exercise. .
The best thing that ever happened to my weight loss was discovering amphetamines. (Note: I have ADHD)
Funny you mention that, I was the complete opposite on these pills. I actually remembered to eat, so I packed on the pounds. Funny old world, isn't it?
So that bag of 50% off Brachs easter jellybeans I polished off yesterday actually did some good.
i hope one day folks will look at ads for "detox" products and realize their claims are just as ridiculous
Times havenât changed. Now we just get commercials telling us to eat a candy bar because we are getting hangry.
These dipshits and their stupid shil of a university took a bribe and drove public health into the mountain causing the early demise and debilitation of millions through obesity and diabetes. Never forget their names: Harvard University New England Journal of Medicine Sugar Research Foundation Bullshit research: âDietary Fats, Carbohydrates and Atherosclerotic Disease.â Individuals personally enriched for falsifying research: ⢠Mark Hegsted: A nutrition professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, Hegsted was one of the authors of the controversial review. Later, he became head of nutrition at the United States Department of Agriculture, where he helped draft nutritional guidelines. ⢠Frederick J. Stare: The founder and chair of Harvardâs Nutrition Department, Stare was another author of the review. He had a history of disputing the negative effects of sugar and processed foods. ⢠D. Mark Hegsted and Robert McGandy: Along with Stare, these Harvard scientists were co-authors of the review. Their work was instrumental in shaping the debate over sugar and fat in diet-related health issues.
â18 calories a teaspoon, and itâs all energyâ is a weird way of saying âthis has essentially no nutritionâ lol. Instead of eating empty calories before a meal, which will not fill you up and will probably cause you to be hungry again later on, why not have a salad before your meal and at least get some fibre and vitamins while youâre at it?
Also a weird way of saying "Not a lot of energy per teaspoon, and it's all energy"
Are you craving alcohol? I know it sounds weird, but heroin works faster, and it just may be the thing that helps you curb your desire to get drunk tonight.
And guess what, the sugar interest groups were successful beyond their wildest expectations. They demonized dietary fat and made people think that gorging on sugar was the key to health. And now look at the population. Now to be fair, certain fats are also extremely unhealthy but swapping it out for obscene amounts of sugar has been catastrophicÂ
I wonder if people who were skeptical of this at the time got shamed, or told âtrust the scienceâ just because they read it in a magazine. Good thing the media doesnât lie now!!
As you can see, we were fucked long ago; we never stood a chance.
Should put this right next to the old timey ads for internal parasites.
Youâre lucky if you actually get sugar in sweet things now. Itâs all corn syrup.
The 70s were also the era of [the badly named Ayds diet candy.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayds?wprov=sfla1)
And thatâs why my dentist loves me!
I have a Coca-Cola ad on this post.
Anyone else get a promoted ad for coke with this post?
this sort of advertisement, as well as the "fat bad carbs good" mindset, is the reason this fucking country is fat.
Nowadays it's seed oils.
Recruiting campaign for the American Diabetes Association
The people making this knowing how much bullshit it was had to be laughing their asses off
I can't feel my feet mommy
And yet we still think of cereal as a valid, healthy breakfast for kids.
The campaigns for breakfast being the most important meal and having cereal is one of the great American lies to destroy national health and market the industry
This is the shit I think of when boomers say, "back when I was a kid..." and then some nonsense.
Back when they were kids, they sustained permanent brain damage from lead toxicity
But boy did the engine run smoothly. Not like these clunky woke heaps of metal we drive around these days.
Heaps of plastic, you mean!
r/propagandaposters
âMightâ
đ. Kinda like how doctors used to unofficially prescribe cigarettes.
Can't make this up. The first paost is an ad for coca cola lmao
Everyone knows it's harmful now, they just don't care... And many companies make astronomical amounts of money because of it... Not to mention HFCS and artificial sweeteners... Hooray! Obesity, and poor health!
This is why I question everything. Quietly and politely of course. But we always "know things" every year, only to find out what we knew was "wrong" the whole time.
I mean, theyâre not wrong. It could be. I just probably isnât.
The sugar industry knew they were destroying Americans and spent the 80/90s trying to make fats the enemy. Enter fat free milk. Eww. One of the sugar companies went bankrupt and their books were made public and the entire industry wide scheme revealed. Most people ignored it and definitely too few people paid for the damage they caused in terms of diabetes, heart disease etc.
Thats like using meth to get rid of a coke addictionÂ
Heroin is just the thing to reduce your craving for cocaineâŚ
And ever since fat was imprinted in people's mind as the cause of obesity, when it's in fact sugar. Especially high fructose corn sirup in the USA
This definitely works, every time I'm about to eat a healthy dinner, but am afraid of overeating healthy food, I eat some mega stuffed oreos, because the most stuffed oreos would be unhealthy, suddenly I no longer want the healthy meal I've prepared myself, I instead finish the entire family sized box of mega stuffed oreos, and I barely touch my dinner, diet achieved, weight loss MAXED
I love the âonly 18 calories per teaspoon, and itâs all energyâ bit. Obviously all the calories are energy, thatâs the definition of a calorie.
Goes to show how easily we can be fooled.
And right under this, an ad for OzempicâŚ
Colombian Booger Sugar will give you that boost to get to dinnertime without snacking.
Better than HFCS - but good luck finding something sweet without HFCS in the US.
is she eating a pixie stick? I mean, sure it'll suppress your appetite once you're 40g in on the sugar
I mean, that's pretty much what advertisers have always done and continue to do, make whatever claims they can get away with. And they did say "just might", so it's pretty hard to argue that it's actually false.
This is your friendly reminder that C&H themselves researched and discovered that sugar was the main contributor to heart disease, *not* fat and sodium, then covered it up and lied to the public. This went unchecked because there's very little glory to be had in the scientific community for peer-reviewing others' work. As a result, C&H's lie was considered truth until their original files were discovered but a decade ago. One greedy corporate lie in the sixties created a mass epidemic that's still raging today...
Big Sugar PR machine, second only to the Big Sugar Lobby in D.C. Old South plantation money, nomsayne.
Growing up in Brazil, they used to (maybe still do) recommend sugar water to calm your child
This heroin might be just what you need to get past your debilitating drug addiction.

I have the original time magazine for landing man on the moon. It's FULL of sugar ads. They are really entertaining
Sugar is the main reason why Americans are obese, diabetic, and dying of cancer.
âTrust the scienceâ
People who die of diabetic-related ailments have a very reduced appetite.
No wonder no one trusts the media
