Oh man, someone start spreading fire ants as a cure for something. This administration would be all over it.
Can we leave US politics out of the science memes
I'd agree, but the joke was funny.
It would be funny it it wasn’t so sad.
Does this joke make you feel uncomfortable?
If so, can I recommend some ants?
If only bullet ants were a thing here, we could use those instead.
Fire ant venom boosts testosterone levels when applied to the scrotum, according to my dog
What administration?
Based on the other comment you mean the US government? Do you just assume everyone on the internet is American?
Although I kind of agree with you, I feel like everyone knows when someone refers to this administration as being US in relation to extremely dumb shit at this point
It's super annoying when the default country on Lemmy is the USA.
The default country for anything stupid, yes
There isn't even the "this is a US website" excuse anymore, like on Reddit
USA is the only country that matters
...to Americans
Do you know a dumber one?
Genuine question, do other countries refer to their current government as "this administration" or "the [leader] administration"?
In my exposure to non-US political discussions, there seems to be more reference to the majority parties or coalitions, where that's more important to politics than it is in the US with our far-too-powerful executive branch
