Over 100 Canadian churches were burned over this hoax. Over 30 were completely destroyed. All over a lie.

India is the great natural experiment in plant-based eating, and almost nobody wants to run the numbers on it.

It is the most vegetarian large country on earth, hundreds of millions of people, many vegetarian from birth. Grain at the base, pulses, vegetables, all cooked in vegetable oil: the government Eat Well plate, run as a national experiment for thousands of years.

The result. Around a third of its children are stunted, the largest share of the world's stunted children of any nation. The Indian Dietetic Association reports 84% of the country's vegetarians are protein deficient, against 65% of its meat eaters. And the nation that eats the least meat is the diabetes capital of the world, with over 100 million diabetics.

Before anyone blames poverty, a Journal of Nutrition study found a vegetarian mother predicted stunting across every wealth bracket, rich families included. The diet was carrying its own weight.

Bioavailable iron, zinc, B12 and complete protein build a child's skeleton. Strip them out and it comes out smaller. The animal fat, meanwhile, got swapped for refined grain, sugar and seed oil. India is now the world's biggest vegetable oil importer, per-person intake tripled since 2001.

The diet sold to the West as optimal human nutrition has been run here, at the scale of a billion people, for longer than the West has existed. It did not produce optimal humans. It produced the largest population of stunted, diabetic, protein-starved people on earth.

Paired with this is the fact that leftists aren't having kids

Conservatives have a TFR of ~2, and the left has a TFR of <1. Further, ~80% of kids of conservative parents stay conservative, and we get ~10% of leftist kids

White America will be very right wing after a few generations. The most radical leftists are having the fewest kids, and the most radical rightists are having the most kids

What we are witnessing is a genetic threshing event, a bottleneck in which the anti-nature, anti-God left is slowly breeding itself out of existence as those who can stay sane in modernity mostly maintain their numbers

So long as the mass migration problem is held off for a generation or so--at which point this bottleneck will have already changed the electorate substantially--many of our present problems will no longer be problems, and indeed the cascading benefits of having reshaped the electorate through fertility will make what problems related to race, immigration, and so on no longer problems...

There are IQ differences across countries. I don’t care if it’s genetic or due to nutrition. Many countries have a population of retarded (in the clinical sense) people. The taboo against discussing this must be broken.

I feel terrible for all the Blue Origin people (and relieved no one was hurt) but no lie, this is one of the greatest explosions I've ever seen. VFX departments are study and imitate it for years to come. Michael Bay is somewhere saying "Damn, not bad."

[Melian Refugee @escapefrommelos]

at what point will we just admit that “public education” isn’t about “teaching kids to read”, it exists to keep the bottom ~30% of students in a controlled environment and off the streets where the can do real damage

Foreign workers have received 52% of American jobs since 2007. credit: @AnonPresby

The Fed. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) confirm this: foreigners accounted for 56% of labor force growth from 2007 to early 2025.

"9 of every 10 new American jobs since pre-COVID went to someone born outside the country." See the BLS image below backing this statement.

"Foreign-born employment is growing 42x faster than native-born since 2019. FORTY-TWO TIMES." credit @LayoffAI The March jobs report confirms it.

And why are these numbers like this? Government policies = politicians and bureaucrats.

Kick out all the illegal aliens and HB visa workers.

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🚨 Stephen Miller says the scale of welfare fraud is SO MASSIVE that eliminating it alone could balance the ENTIRE federal budget

"The amount that has been fleeced from us is in the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars."

"We could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them."

This should infuriate EVERY taxpayer.

A Canadian doctor met a mentally ill guy with bowel problems at a Tim Hortons, told him the best treatment option for him was to die, and then drove him to the hospital to be euthanized.

Not even memes can capture the level of retardation Canada has achieved in real life

A Mom in Tulsa called 3 health systems last week asking the price of her son's tonsillectomy.

Health system A: "We cannot quote you a price."

Health system B: "Pricing depends on your insurance."

Health system C: "Our financial counselor will reach out after the procedure."

No other industry in America gets to operate this way.

Imagine ordering at a restaurant and getting the bill six weeks after dinner.

I don’t want them to pay the government, I want them to pay the White Men who they told to f**k off because they were White Men

Sure.

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

Gonna try to explain this to tech CEOs again: Young Americans are pissed. They feel betrayed. Half have embraced the far right &amp; want to cut off your access to cheap foreign labor. The other half have embraced the far left &amp; want to cut off your head. One side will win. Choose.

Me at phone repair shop: My phone fell into the river.

Clerk: Okay.

Me: Then a boat hit it.

Clerk pauses typing.

Clerk: …okay.

Me: Then I tried drying it with microwave.

Clerk slowly removes glasses like he just got assigned a side quest.

Clerk: Why would you do that.

Me: Internet said heat helps.

Clerk: THE INTERNET ALSO SAYS YOU CAN MANIFEST MONEY BY YELLING AT THE MOON.

I place phone on counter, phone looks like it survived reentry from space.

Clerk picks it up with two fingers like archaeologists handling cursed relics.

Clerk: This thing smells electrical.

Me: Is that bad.

Clerk: Usually, yes.

He presses power button, nothing happens, then suddenly, phone vibrates violently, screen flashes bright green, distorted idol music starts playing at maximum volume.

entire shop freezes.

somewhere in the back a printer wakes up for no reason.

Clerk: WHY IS IT STILL ALIVE.

Me: I paid extra for durability.

Phone screen flickers, barely functional notification appears: Storage almost full.

Clerk stares at me in silence for five full seconds.

Clerk : FULL OF WHAT?? another flicker?

phone opens camera by itself, front camera reveals both of us looking terrified.

Clerk whispers: It remembers.

[marqix ☆ @fwmarqix]

Me: at a Japanese aquarium.

peaceful day, families everywhere, soft piano music.

then I notice one employee SPEED WALKING past us carrying bucket.

Employee: Excuse me.

another employee runs by, then another.

suddenly whole aquarium staff moving with Avengers-level urgency.

Me: ...

Friend: Something happened.

we follow crowd to penguin section.

absolute chaos, one penguin missing.

not metaphorically, ACTUALLY escaped.

staff members whispering intensely into walkie-talkies.

tiny child beside me: The criminal has escaped.

Me: WHY DID HE SAY IT LIKE THAT.

then I spot the penguin.

bro is BOOKING IT down hallway at shocking speed.

sliding on stomach around corners like furry torpedo.

staff chasing respectfully.

one employee holding fish like hostage negotiator.

Employee: Kenta please.

PENGUIN'S NAME IS KENTA.

Kenta ignores authority completely, runs directly into souvenir shop.

now people buying keychains while rogue penguin commits grand theft atmosphere.

finally old aquarium worker appears.

everyone parts ways dramatically.

this man kneels down calmly.

pulls out single sardine.

Kenta stops immediately.

walks over with zero shame.

Old Worker: Enough adventure.

penguin allows himself to be carried away like drunk friend after party.

crowd applauds.

Friend whispering: He'll do it again.

Honestly? absolutely.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

The American chestnut was the dominant tree of the eastern US forest for thousands of years. One in every four trees in the Appalachians was a chestnut.

Then, between 1904 and 1940, a fungal blight from Asia killed roughly four billion of them. The species nearly went extinct as a forest tree within a single human lifetime.

The recovery effort is now in its fourth decade. The American Chestnut Foundation breeds disease-resistant hybrids by crossing American chestnuts with blight-resistant Chinese chestnuts, then backcrossing for generations to recover the American tree's form.

Other researchers have used gene editing to insert a wheat gene that detoxifies the blight.

The first restoration plantings are alive and growing in the Appalachians. They won't be mature for another 50 years.

None of the people who started this work will see it finished, but we should all be glad they're doing it.
