Does anyone have any idea what an earth it was he was trying to impart because that made no sense at all.

RFK Jr. is a very normal person and I am not scared of him showing up in my house, mutating into an insectoid horse creature and drowning me in his acidic virus-filled puke.

probably metamorphose into a giant parasitic tapeworm.

watch/play the documentary "parasite eve" to learn more about mitochondria

Or put them in a organic farming camp

That sounds exactly like a fucking ad you'd see in the Moorehead Rides Again! show from GTA V TV.

He's one month away from starting to say that people's humors are unbalanced.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 19 hours ago

he believes in miasma too. The only things that release miasma (as offensive and defensive) are demons.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hasn't he already said he doesn't believe in germ theory?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is germ theory still a theory or is it germ fact now m?

[–] Amberskin@europe.pub 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In science parlance, a ‘theory’ is a consistent and well established model of the observed reality. Hence ‘relativity theory’, ‘quantum theory’, ‘Maxwell theory’, ‘evolution theory’ or ‘germ theory’.

Antiscience nuts love to use the different meaning of that word in non-scientific environments to create confusion and support their lies.

Thanks.

I want to stress that I don’t fall in to the latter and was curious of the science meaning.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Yeah people get mixed up on the fact that science has theories and laws.

A scientific law is a mathematical relationship. Force is equal to mass times acceleration. In an isolated system entropy can only increase. Gravitational force is equal to the gravitational constant times the product of the masses divided by the square of the distance between their centers of mass. And other such things. It is limited, factual, and does not answer why, it merely says what consistently has happened.

A scientific theory can be proven false, and attempts have been made to do so but failed. They attempt to explain what's going on and/or why. The theory of gravity is that mass distorts spacetime to draw masses together, which is very different from the law of gravity I described in the previous paragraph. The theory of speciation as a result of evolution by means of natural and sexual selection would take multiple miracles to disprove at this point given how much evidence we have, but pieces of it can still change, and it's not a concrete mathematical relationship so it will never be a law.

A hypothesis is a proposed theory that hasn't been sufficiently tested (attempted to be disproven) to qualify as a theory. In science all experiments require beating the default "null hypothesis" which is that there is insufficient evidence to assert correlation.

Science isn't what we know but how we prove we know it.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

It's a fact as much as gravity and evolution are facts.

he’ll say they’re red, blue, black, and green and Trump will be like “but I like purple” and he’ll make one purple instead

Portugal. The Man was onto something.

[–] ZJBlank@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This is Trump we’re talking about, one of them will HAVE to be gold

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

The tackiest shade of gold. Washed, unpolished, plastic varnish-looking ass gold.

WTAF is a "mitochondrial challenge"?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 19 hours ago

so hes a jedi now.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

It's just pseudoscientific nonsense to signal to his idiot base that he's one of them.

[–] Velypso@sh.itjust.works 49 points 2 days ago

Iirc, It means "proudly uneducated"

[–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 31 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I found this article helpful: https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/medical-critical-thinking-health-and-nutrition/mitochondrial-dysfunction-bit-fad

It's basically "they don't work good" but it's become a fad to blame all sorts of things on their dysfunction.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

if people actually have problems with mitochodria, like a mitochrondial disease, which are inheritied and rare. they would have very prominent symptoms near birth already. Other than cancers which also have abnormal mitochondria in your cells, and your muscle cells in an athletic person. everything is bs.

hes also the guy that have been seen consuming large amounts of methylene blue.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of crunchy conspiracies.

It’s what decides if you can be a Jedi.

Something that he just made up. Probably a thought implanted into his head from the worms that a wriggling around in there

Angela Rasmussen has been a great bullshit-deflector during the pandemic, love what she's doing

You know, kids in airports are usually really stressed and tired.

[–] brem@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also being around a Kennedy in the context of air travel is like waking up in a bamboo forest and realizing you are a doctor named Jack.

This has to be some reference I’m missing. Fuck it, these are my lottery numbers.

Now I’m about to be disappointed because this is a huge reference and I’m gonna have to share the jackpot with like 8 million people.

:p

Congratulations on your $10 win angry seal. Here’s your giant check.

[–] Sidhean@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

fuck it, these are my lottery numbers

uh oh (Im pretty sure they're referencing the tv show Lost. Watch it if you don't mind shit endings, as it was pretty good other than that.)

He is straight up chiropractor snake oil salesman levels of stupid and dishonest. The grifting chiropractors all talk about "inflammation" - all problems are related to inflammation, like how to conservatives "everything I don't like is woke" to the health grifters "everything I don't like is inflammation".

So just know if you see someone who isn't an MD talking about inflammation and I guess mitochondrial problems then just know they are either a massive idiot or trying to scam you.

On the other hand, mitochondria are powering the worms that are eating RFKs brain.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Could they maybe work extra hard and speed shit up?
