Oh shit did he discover cold fusion?

[โ€“] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Like a fool, he kept it hidden in his home refrigerator ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

[โ€“] Apocalypteroid@feddit.uk 9 points 1 month ago

Gotta keep it cold somehow

[โ€“] Prikkeres@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

I thought one had to hide it in oneโ€™s bra.

Lil sus, right? Smells like a coverup

Can't have a European hold the secrets to cold fusion... They are too left wing, for now...

Didn't they have a socialist government until a recent coup d'etat by the state's attorney?

[โ€“] mitram2@lemmy.pt 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

XD

They call themselves the socialist party, yes. But in practice they are a seen as center-left party and their implemented policies would be placed a lot of the times in the liberal spectrum (liberal as in economically liberal).

They did re-nationalize an airline in the last decade, but they have also expanded public-private partnerships significantly.

Compared to the US that shit is borderline red scare levels of CoMuNizM.

However, neighbours told local reporters they heard gunfire before alerting authorities.

What an actually completely ridiculous sentence, lol. You mean to tell me that they didn't alert authorities just for the fun of it, and heard gunshots a few hours later?

[โ€“] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Thatโ€™s AI journalism for ya.

[โ€“] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

No. There's another way to interpret this sentence to mean "they said they heard gunfire and then alerted the authorities". The journalist just took like creative liberty. Chill a bit.

Second academic dead in 2 days. Are the fascists coming for the academics now?

That or the school shootings are so common the lone wolves are starting to look for more creative ways to grab headlines

[โ€“] zeezee@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 month ago

and this comes right as Dump announces a merger with a nuclear fusion company?

something smells very fishy...

The coal industry is taking more desperate steps now to keep themselves alive /j (?)

Fusion is slowly becoming more promising. The oil mafia has been actively fighting the idea that their product would become irrelevant for half a century.

[โ€“] blady_blah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Let's be realistic, fusion is way down on the list of things that "big oil" is concerned about.

It's only a matter of time before evolutionary biologists and paleontologists are found dead.

[โ€“] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Considering how many Iranian nuclear scientists mossad has killed, this could be some form of payback. Just my personal tinfoil hat theory

[โ€“] Anonymaus@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

That's not very nice

Yeah, and we react with...protest?

Welp, it happens. Don't let his discoveries be hidden.

Clearly he figured out cold fusion and they had to stop ~~him~~ Keanu

Who was the one who knocked?
