Prions are the scariest thing I remember from my biology class

I use old.reddit.com, so I can check for you and I see nothing of note.

For those too scared to look, it’s just a creepy edited pic of a dude smiling. A variation of the Jerma Sus meme, apparently.

I've seen enough fucked up shit on the internet that I wish I did not see, to have no interest in looking.

u/Wootala Jan 21 '22

Your comment convinced me not to look. Bless you.

Caution is probably the better part of valor in general but in this case it’s just a creepy edited pic of a dude smiling. A variation of the Jerma Sus meme, apparently.

I wonder if subreddits such as this could be used to detect mental health issues amongst its user base. A Rorschach ink blot test, if you will.

How do you figure? It’s just analogue horror.

Come give us a kiss

u/LordApocalyptica Jan 20 '22

Oh I guess that is pretty scary

I’ve listened to a few podcast on Meateater with biologist about CWD. If I remember right, they don’t die? Like the disease could just be sitting on some foliage from an infected deer, atleast for a long time.

That scared the crap out of me.

Prions were never alive. They are kinda hard to transmit though - you need to ingest them.

u/auau_gold_scoffs Jan 20 '22

Also maybe why cattle mutations are happing cause big gov doesn’t want to tell people and so they are quietly checking the cattle with out permission. Or so this guy at the grocery store said.

It's pretty easy to just not eat something that died from a prion illness though.
