Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

What if you take the measles virus, weaken it and infect people with that?

You could inject it into people? I don’t think that’s ever been done before

Hmm, I dunno, that sounds like something a drugged up hippie might do with their marijuanas.

But wait… what if we dissolve it into liquid and put it in a syringe?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

and do it like a heroin user would.

Okay, that’s way too extreme. That’s how you get herpes.
