Best interaction with an antimasker:
Them: masks don't work
Me: We'll I'm going to wear one anyway
Them: Well then you're just traping the germs against your face
Me: so you're saying they block germs?

They even stated the correct reason to wear a mask: to trap the germs against my face, so others don't get infected
It's like they don't compute the idea behind it, it stops at me me me
My favorite reply to them is that it's America and I can do whatever I want, I'll call them snowflakes too whenever appropriate. They get pissed when you insinuate they're anti American lul.
Well, it's only fair, seeing as they ARE anti-American.
i've just recently seen the same with pro 2a people. It was on a video about inclusive gun safety training, because the 2a is quite literally, for everyone. SO many people in the comments were saying something along the lines of "well if we trained them, then they might kill us"
Yeah no shit. What do you think they thought of you prior to this moment huh? Just utter fucking ignorance for anything more than a mere shred of intellectual thought being put into whatever they say. Not to mention that this is borderline authoritarian policy by nature but that's the other funny part.
Didn't gun control ramp up when the Black Panthers started exercising their rights to bear arms? Funny thing is the Panthers seem much more like a "well-regulated militia" than this Wild West, permitless carry, anything goes BS.
Someone once told me that the box in which masks came in says "doesn't protect from viruses", as if it was hidden-in-plain-sight proof that masks don't work.
Yeah, they don't protect the user from viruses, they protect other people. The box is technically correct, Patricia, there is no conspiracy here.
It is humorous that these people think that they have some secret knowledge that only they know and they feel so much power because of it. Except that the information they know is incorrect and they just end up looking like an idiot.
I think they actually do understand but don't have enough empathy with other people to see it as their responsibility to protect other people from their viruses.
Not that someone as perfect as them would ever sick enough to potentially infect others...
While it is fun to tweak their titties with this, it will make zero difference on their position because their position wasn't arrived at by rational thought.
Please stop you’re going to break them! 😂
You're assuming these people believe we even send things to space. I had a serious ass conversation recently with my father's roommate. Typical conspiracy theorist ding dong. Full on flat earther and everything. I asked him how he thinks GPS works if the earth was flat. He admitted he didn't know but then when I started to explain how it works by pinging satellites we put up in space he cut me off and said space isn't real. Like legitimately thinks space isn't real. He on a separate occasion also complained that we didn't need to wear masks during covid because we apparently make our own viruses in our bodies and viruses don't spread between people.
These people don't even understand how logic works. Let alone that people could be smarter than they are.
I just want affordable healthcare
Unfortunately, the answer to that doesn't lie in science but in politics.
Ask the military industrial complex. Too much good applicable science and tech comes from space exploration.
But surely you must understand how someone, having failed all of their classes and then dropped out of school altogether, understands complex matters better than the people who are brilliant, have international acclaim, and devoted like 5 decades of their lives to study that same thing?
Or you know, at least watched this 11-minute video?
And if you do, can you explain it to me? :-P So far all I have is "Might Makes Right", but somehow that seems to be lacking something...
They failed because they’re obviously smarter than science and not the other way around.
People act like their mamas never told 'em to cover their damned mouths when they cough or sneeze. It's the same damned thing, only masks work much better at keeping your filthy germs from infecting other people.
Common sense ain't common, they say, and this anti-mask nonsense is just proof that it's true.
But don't you know? Having symptoms like "drier mouth," "fogged glasses," and "smelling your own breath" are much more dangerous than a virus that killed a million Americans at least.
What it really tells me it that the mouth breathers are crazier than we gave them credit for.
I mean a lot of them also don't believe we landed unmanned units on mars, or humans on the moon, for that matter, so...
It's funny, I've heard plenty of morons talk about flat earth, but I've never seen anyone say anything about Mars.
I am reasonably sure that a fair many conservatives feel that they are entitled to their biases and fallacies and the world must bend to these biases.
It's deeper than that, they literally believe they can change objective reality by believing hard enough.
That's why they excuse all of their bad acts, if they ignore it, it doesn't exist to them.
Negative object permanence.
So they just deny space exploration. Easy.
While using a smartphone with nano chips and GPS, based on satellites and Einstein's General Relativity.
Step on Mars but not on snek.
Poindexter... not hard slang to get correct. Dumbasses.
Fuck off Pondexter
The reality is that you can easily get infected through a mask, but the viral load is much lower
Also if all the people around you are wearing masks in addition to yourself, then it's way way lower
as the meme states actually, the point of masks isn't really to protect yourself, that's a marginal side benefit, the point is to protect everyone else from your pestilence ridden breath of death.
watching videos that show how particulate from your breath spreads with and without just literally anything in front of your mouth is disgusting, unblocked your breath carries spittle several METERS in front of you, like the world's most disgusting sprinkler put sideways.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
