They're just so fucking weird

RFK's new Dicks Out in the YMCA will provide all the measles screening you need, don't make it weird.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

When you get your measles vaccines, the nurse says you'll "feel a little prick".

THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE MEANT!!!

What is it about weirdo conservatives that makes them so red? I distinctly remember Alex Jones doing a bit with his shirt off, and that motherfucker was also beet red.

Phenomenal, thank God for the British.

Ah, the Great Wall of Gammon. Possibly the worst thing BBC Question Time has produced.

Lots and lots of TRT. It increases red blood cell production and can cause flushing especially if you're already predisposed to something like hypertension.

Basically, if you see a dude past 45 put on more muscle than they had before they had in their 30s they are getting a lot of trt.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hypertension, alcoholism, tanning booths, hypertension and alcoholism. Hard drugs maybe.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not to take away from your point, but I think you forgot to include alcoholism and hypertension

I thought certain types of steroids make you red like this along with giving you a swollen belly which goes along with all the anger and irrational behavior exhibited by these fools.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 7 points 2 months ago

It's evolution. 20 years ago conservatives were mostly old white guys with pink skin. In another 20 years, they should be a rich, deep crimson.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

The red hat dye is running. It's what happens when you buy the merchandise from wish.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

High dose TRT and melanotan probably.

This on the MR report right now..

RFK jr, shirtless, wearing jeans and riding an elliptical the in the sauna while a twinky kid rock struggles to do one pushup..

I've seen several porns with more believable plots.

I hate to say it, but this is Gay.

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 28 points 2 months ago

It's not gay unless the brain worms touch.

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Would you rather see them nude?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In the same sick way I kinda want to see a race car crash, yeah.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Who works out in jeans? honestly, wtf?

I'm afraid to ask what the implications for Kid Rock are...

The article picture made me think of this meme, in case anyone is bored and has Photoshop skills.

[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Britta was weird when she was still a brunette.

[–] dizzle18@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago

WHOLE MILK. IN THE HOT TUB. WHICH IS FULL OF MEN. OLD MEN. MAHA.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 6 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I mean, RFK is doing pretty good for a dude in his 70s.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Physical fitness and physical activity correlate very well with health and with positive outcomes if you do get sick, or contract something preventable like a parasitic infection... but it doesn't guarantee it.

I like Dan John's take on fitness and health. Fitness is one's ability to do a task. Health is the optimal interplay of organs and the absence of disease.

The man could be riddled with undiagnosed cancer, more parasites, and infections from his dumbass lifestyle and blatant disregard for both food safety and disease prevention. He's got access to medical care most of us don't and could be on god knows what substances now to enable him to run around shirtless like a dipshit teenager.

Doesn't matter how many pullups the old saddlebag can do. He's not someone we should emulate or should be lecturing us on health.

ozzy did lots of drugs and look how long he went. drugs are good for you.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Same with John Cooper Clarke and Iggy Pop

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 4 points 2 months ago

Rod Stewart, Keith Richards, Elton John tho he seems pretty out of it.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

From the neck down.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

He is weirdly jacked. As a man who’s been inside a locker room, some guys just are. Most look more like a wet rat, like Mr. Rock there.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

What the hell did I just watch? Are my tax dollars going to this? JFC.
