MODERATORS
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.
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.
Heh.
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?
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.
Thatโs AI journalism for ya.
Second academic dead in 2 days. Are the fascists coming for the academics now?
Yup.
That or the school shootings are so common the lone wolves are starting to look for more creative ways to grab headlines
and this comes right as Dump announces a merger with a nuclear fusion company?
something smells very fishy...
Oh shit did he discover cold fusion?
Like a fool, he kept it hidden in his home refrigerator ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Gotta keep it cold somehow
I thought one had to hide it in oneโs bra.
Lil sus, right? Smells like a coverup
director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technologyโs Plasma Science and Fusion Centre
Is there an alien race trying to prevent us from advancing in technology?
Yes, MAGA
USAmerican gun nuts
We good. They will be here in 500 years.
Can't have a European hold the secrets to cold fusion... They are too left wing, for now...
Left wing? Portugal? HA
Didn't they have a socialist government until a recent coup d'etat by the state's attorney?
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.
The coal industry is taking more desperate steps now to keep themselves alive /j (?)
Considering how many Iranian nuclear scientists mossad has killed, this could be some form of payback. Just my personal tinfoil hat theory
Clearly he figured out cold fusion and they had to stop ~~him~~ Keanu
That's not very nice
Shame
Welp, it happens. Don't let his discoveries be hidden.
Who was the one who knocked?
