When you are investigating autism but you're conservative: have we considered children's genitals?

What does this little boy's Ja Rule have to say about this?

Needs to be the pepe Silvia meme of rfk trying to link autism to anything.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

The foreskins protect you from the Tylenol.

I mean... what the fuck?

But I can't fault finally considering an end to Male Genital Mutilation.

We don't circumcise in the Netherlands. And we don't have Tylenol. We do have other brands though. So we don't have autism in the Netherlands, except for Jewish men. Guess I don't have autism anymore hahaha

[–] Lommy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There are, unfortunantly, a lot of circumcisions performed in The Netherlands. But i agree, this is going make my life a lot easier! 😄

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

Not as much as in the autism infested US xD

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (6 children)

"There are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism," Kennedy said Oct. 9 at President Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting. "It’s highly likely because they’re given Tylenol."

And of course this statistic couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that most boys in this country are circumcised at birth.

I'm uncircumcised and I was never diagnosed with autism!

Never mind that I would throw a fit as a child if my pancakes weren't cut into a grid AND THEN reassembled into their circular shape.

My mom (who doesn't like to go to restaurants because being waited on stresses her out) was also never diagnosed with autism!

Because diagnoses equal incidence rate, right?

I wonder what other correlations might go with circumcision...

That sounds like a whole lot of DISTRACTION FROM THE FACT HE RAPED CHILDREN.

Release the Epstein files!!

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 16 points 4 days ago

Do you mean Donald j Trump, current president of the United States, raped children? Along with his, self admitted, best friend Jeffrey r Epstein?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 3 days ago

I don't think him talking about child genitalia is much of a distraction.

I fear dumbasses are still going to circumcise their baby boys and will just not give them any pain reliever

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So... the circumcision has NOTHING to do with it!

They are STILL claiming the pill taken orally is the problem.

They just added "circumcision" for click bait.

Just ban circumcision already. Parents should not have the right to cut off your body parts

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 9 points 4 days ago

Its literally forced mutilation and pointless. Wash your junk.

[–] RotatingParts@lemmy.ml 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So the Christian God of the old testament caused autism by being infatuated with dick tips. Oh the Christian Nationalist are going to lose their shit over this.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's a myth that circumcision is a Christian practice. Early Christians debated keeping the covenant, but since they were a proselytizing faith, cutting on your dick is a hard sell and they decided it wasn't necessary.

The actual origin is 19th Century lunatics who thought masturbation caused disease. These were more health nuts than arch conservatives. Most were vegan, and some even feminist. But they promoted circumcision among boys and girls to prevent masturbation. This is why the practice is American but not European.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

veganism wasn't invented until the mid 20th century

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So tylenol makes your foreskin fall off which gives you autism? Where do the brain worms fit into all this?

I'm so confused.

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

The brain worms fit into RFKs head

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Not really the white hoods I'd like the federal government to be concerned about, to be honest…

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

There MUST be something really important in those Epstein files to make up stuff this stupid for a distraction.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago

considering musk, rfk jr, and trump is in it, they need all the distraction they can get.

[–] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 12 points 4 days ago

US news are so embarrassing these days the websites actually block European IPs from accessing them.

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 11 points 4 days ago

To be fair, having a traumatic surgery done to you by insane cultists is likely not without consequence, but Autism?

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Since US guys are like 68% circumcised, Jewish folks get circumcised for religious reasons, should be easy to determine that US guys and Jews are like 2x+ as autistic as guys are worldwide

Well, if this sets back the rates of circumcision and stops a second Stonetoss from manifesting (no seriously, he became far-right due to his botched circumcision, which he blames on the Jews), then it has at least some good effects, even if unintentionally.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wait really? Like normally I'm very sympathetic to those with botched circumcisions, but in his case I'll make an exception to laugh

They probably circumcised his brain after birth...

[–] Siegehammer85@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

The real (native) Americans circumcised a lot of invaders heads, just not enough unfortunately

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How does the autism know which Tylenol was for the circumcision?

How much of a payout do you suppose the drug manufacturers need to give donnie and the worm before a new study proves the old ones wrong?

It could be the bourbon, but this has me giggling. 😂
