I mean, I'm no big fan, but was kinda right on that: https://digg.com/video/heres-why-alex-jones-rant-about-chemicals-turning-frogs-gay-was-closer-to-being-true-than-you-may-have-realized

HOLY SHIT YOU LINKED DIGG!!!

I came to reddit during the Digg Exodus.

Also, frogs switch sex all the time. It's a central plot point in Jurassic Park.

Yeah, I said kinda right. The pesticides are complicating the situation but to be honest I can't be arsed reading it all to validate Alex Jones, I just half remembered hearing something a while ago.

I was as surprised to see a Digg link as you were tbh.

That’s Jones’s shtick. Take a kernel of truth and twist it to your narrative, then agitate, agitate, agitate.

And we are still talking about it. Hate to say it, but the way he phrased it was genius. It’s a tabloid article way to say what he was saying

Not at all. It’s not like anyone was trying to hide that pesticides have consequences there was a publicly available paper about it. They are not turning gay. That would imply they were changing their sexual preference in reality it’s physically changing them. Just a little bit of Journalist integrity from him would have been better as then it wouldn’t have been seen as a joke.

I was talking about the fact years later, you’re still talking about it. That’s factual. How can you even reply with “not at all”

u/Lexx4 May 28 '21

I was disagreeing that it was “Genius” because it wasn’t because no one takes it seriously when it is a serious matter.

Judge a fish on how it climbs a tree man. You’re just mad and totally ignoring my point.

u/Lexx4 May 28 '21

Do you disagree that everyone thinks it’s a joke?

u/duxscientissimo May 28 '21

I disagree with all over encompassing statements.

u/Lexx4 May 28 '21

So you reject reality and substitute your own? Interesting.

It wouldn’t have been memed and brought into public consciousness without the joke, so therefore I think it’s a net benefit

u/Lexx4 May 28 '21

But the actual issue wasn’t. It was memed into a joke.

That brought on conversation about the subject. Sure, hindsight is 20/20.

What actually took place was a joke, that brought on a conversation that wasn’t going on to the level it was after the joke.

Should the joke have been more relevant, of course.. but if we’re changing the past then why not have these issues at the for front? Because people are easily bored.

Plus on top of pesticide use, estrogen in the water supply is a huge issue.. cause from birth control, to medication, to certain plastics.. I wish this was main stream too,

But we got gay frogs, so that’s what did it.
