      I understand this is joke, but the F in PFAS “forever chemicals” is fluorine. You’d think the fluoride whackos would be all over this, after all it is a communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

      To be clear, a bit of fluoride in the water is fine, the problem is that they made synthetic polymers out of carbon and fluorine and they don’t degrade and just accumulate in your blood and organs forever and disrupt whatever is normally supposed to be going on there.

        They’re putting man made horrors beyond my comprehension in the water to turn my frickin organs off!
