Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

this is basically all due to some imaginary change of heart on kirk's part and the resultant conspiracies, right? what a bunch of fucking dweebs

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago (2 children)

right-wingers are going to be making up a bunch of conspiracy theories no matter what, so it's better that the target is Israel and not random trans people.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The target is, in large part, Jews rather than Israel, as can be seen in the "coverage" from one of the biggest proponents of this line, Candace Owens.

Interesting they're trying the "woke right" counternarrative

[–] Azarova@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That, and "israel" instantly stating "WE DIDN'T DO IT :^)" before the body was cold

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Pissrael benefits from planting the 'we did it' conspiracy seed: it can make people believe the Mossad is all powerful thereby scaring public figures into not speaking against them, and by increasing anti-Semitism in the US and elsewhere abroad which can make Jewish people feel unsafe to whit pissrael offers themselves as a (not actually)safe haven for them to move to increasing there tax base and conscription pool.

When does a corpse turn cold?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's driven by convection, so it depends on the heat of the corpse relative to the heat of the surrounding environment, along with the physical condition of the body itself. Assuming an average male body mass, 98.6 degrees F internal temperature, a room temperature of 75 degrees F, and a basically intact corpse wearing light clothing, I looked it up and algor mortis takes about 22 hours to complete. This also assumes normal humidity and no wind.

Usually after the IOF extracts the reproductive material from fallen male combatants

Kirk was pretty cold in life, so his death probably instead warmed him up for a few seconds

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Heat is stored in the balls

[–] Kefla@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

His neck definitely got pretty warm for a few seconds at least

[–] Azarova@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

idk, it's just a saying

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

OK but their videos saying they definitely didn't kill Kirk has a lot of people asking questions already answered by their videos.

i need a way to not believe either side

He said something critical of Israel shortly before he died and then got sniped solidly. Lord help me I forget what the clip was - but I think a change of heart is a good way to describe it in form. In magnitude it might be too much because I didn't exactly see him decrying the evils of genocide.

The conspiracies were from things like having that old guy claim to have done it, finding a rifle that the guy wasn't seen leaving the roof with, and shit like that. Israel's involvement as a scapegoat came from antisemitism, Netenyahu immediately speaking on it, Netty claiming it wasn't Israel, and Israel's history of doing shit.

Nethanyu held 3 speeches reiterating it wasnt him. Bgood on you to fight his battle...

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

i actually think china had him killed, because right before it happened he made a video talking about how china strayed from the true path of marxism and has been corrupted by capitalism since the dengist reforms
