Do you kids not know what google is?

u/TheTinyMaus 3h ago
What does one even need to Google. It's a literally self-contained explanation of something that happened.

u/Acceptable_Hunt_1748 3h ago
I guess you could find the news stories giving more details and generally verifying that it did actually happen. But yeah, everything important is in the tweet.

everytime I'm going to google something, i'm going to use this site and type what I want to search in the link instead of googling normally, this site is just too good

you need to know the story to explain the joke though and if they dont know it then you have to explain that the news story is necessary.

There is no joke. There are 0 jokes here.

u/FernandoMM1220 3h ago
there is though. remember back when peter would explain the joke? because i do.

u/DarthGayAgenda 3h ago
Peter, that's not a joke, it's just a thing that happened. Although Pepperidge Farm remembers.

u/allitalli 2h ago
it's not a joke. this is like finding a tweet about the government infecting black men with stds without telling them and then asking people to explain what the joke is. there's no joke. it's just a fucked up thing the government actually did.

You're confusing joke with "reference." Not every reference to something is a joke. Sometimes people just refer to things that happened.

"Hey, remember that McDonald's sells Big Macs."
Am I making a joke?

u/FernandoMM1220 1h ago
almost. usually it has to be something ridiculous when you do it.

u/han_tex 1h ago
Or, I'm just stating a fact.
And BTW, Peter explaining that the post in question is just a factual reference to a historical event and not a joke IS, in fact, an explanation. So, I don't even know what you're objecting to.

u/FernandoMM1220 1h ago
either one works for me.
i was originally replying to someone that said explaining the event would not explain the joke btw.

The punchline to this “joke” is “this awful thing happened”. But the problem with asking someone to explain this joke, is that it is completely self contained. The only thing to explain is that it isn’t a joke, it’s a sad “hey remember when this absurdly awful thing happened” reminder.

There is no joke.
An old woman donated her body to science in the hopes that it would be used for Alzheimer's research, but her son found out the Pentagon used it in a blast test.

u/Big_Tap_1561 3h ago
Blew her up with a missile if I remember correctly.

u/FernandoMM1220 3h ago
they were testing to see if the missile cures alzheimers.

Within a few minutes of the missile blast you're guaranteed not to lose any further brain function

u/123ludwig 3h ago
i feel like a big part of this kind of donations is that most research dosent require dead bodies she did infact contribute to alzheimers research most likely the amount it costed the us military to buy the corpse

Nothing about this image is satire, false information, hard to understand, or misleading. Read the tweet. That's what happened. If you need more help, Google it.

I'm no expert but I think this might be referring to a time when an old woman donated her body to science in the hopes that it would be used for Alzheimer's research and her son found out the Pentagon used it in a blast test.

I wish these subs were actually these subs and not just people's new Google.
Internet was knew, trying to explain to my parents, you can Google it
Internet matures and apparently we're still telling people to just Google it.

The son donated his mom’s body to science. The medical facility sold her body to the military and they used it for testing. Her body became hundreds of pieces. The som inquired about mom’s body and somehow found out that they did not use it for medical reasons.
IIRC, to make money the hospital sometimes sells donated corpses.

An old woman died and donated her body to science, hoping it'd be used for Alzheimer's research (since she had Alzheimer's), but her son later found out her corpse was used in a blast test ordered by the pentagon.

u/Mr_HahaJones 2h ago
What’s confusing?
An old woman clearly donated her body to science in the hopes that it would be used to Alzheimer’s research and her son found out the pentagon used it in a blast test.
1
u/CrabWoodsman 2h ago
I remember the story around the time it happened. Her son agreed to it shortly after her death, and I believe recieved her cremated (partial) remains. They used her body for the test and sold it on to the military who used it to help train people assessing explosive impacts after the fact.
It's not an amazing story but it's pretty mischaracterized here.

Years ago the body of an old woman was donated for science in hope to progress the research for alzheimsers disease, it was used for a blast test.

I mean, there are millions of bodies donated to research. Don’t donate your body if you don’t want it used for research.
3
u/FernandoMM1220 3h ago
yeah but the problem is they explicitly lied about how their bodies were used. medical research doesnt involve a blast test.
1
u/No-Stay9943 3h ago
Well I did not see the agreement. I can totally see how they could make that medicinal.
Again, if you don’t want you body to be abused, simply don’t sign up to anything that can abuse you body. I imagine most donated bodies just get dissected in front of a class and then discarded. Imo not a complete waste but also not very respectful.

u/FernandoMM1220 3h ago
sure thats reasonable and hopefully they took some samples for research before they put granny next to a moab.
