    Every time I think I’ve heard the universe’s worst take, the dead bird site proves that assumption wrong.

      If even Trump was so afraid of the ocean that he couldn’t send disaster relief to Puerto Rico, how would a slave ship be able to touch all that water, eh?

      the idiocracy theory. Dumb people have more kids with other dump people and those kids are dumb². At some point we’ll segregate ourselfs

      I don’t think I’m super smart, but man some things make me look like a genius

        At some point we just called this eugenics, but then someone committed one of the greatest atrocities of all time, and now racist can’t even be openly for the murder and sterilization of large parts of the population anymore. Because of woke.

          are there super fucked up things that deserve all the hate that fall under eugenics? Yes.

          are there also pretty rational and reasonable things that fall under eugenics, like not having kids with your sibling? Also yes.

          I didn’t said I want to “sterilize” the dumb population, but I do think sex education is important and should be given a LOT more importance.

        I think it’s just that on the internet, unlike in real life among people in a social unit, there is no such thing as a maximally extreme position. You can always look for, and eventually find, a more extreme view.
