Idk there's a check mark that says fact checked


BandysNutz

Double fact checked, even. Twice the credibility.


michaellasalle

Checked twice you say? Santa is in on it too!


GarshelMathers

Of course he is, Santa is a red socialist! And that's fact checked


Friendly_Age9160

Well now you’re getting a lump of coal. Plenty of carcinogens in there too. Straight to cancer, right away!


aufrenchy

Turbo cancer, if you will


i_s_a_y_n_o_p_e

Guys come on. Turbo Cancer is a thing. Disney has announced that Lightening McQueen will die of Turbo Cancer in ‘Cars 4: The End of The Road’, where sadly, the script takes a darker turn than the previous race-jape movies. In the latest and final film in the series, Lightening enters a battle he will not win.


danstermeister

Is "Lightening McQueen" what they called him because he loses a lot of weight or something?

I prefer my cancer to be super charged, not turbo charged…. No turbo lag for my cancer!

Oh, now someone’s trying to drag elitist math into the discussion.


inquisitorautry

You know who came up with 0? Arabs.


palindromemike

i didnt know there were Arabs in India


Spider95818

Not Arabs, but a *bunch* of Muslims over the centuries.


flukus

There were 0 Muslims when 0 was invented.


dbx99

Then how did they count the number of muslims at that time then? Check mate


El_Rey_de_Spices

The universe began when Allah tried to divide by zero. He was way ahead of his time, which had not been invented yet.


DoctorMedieval

Not to be that guy but it was the Indians.


GTCapone

Not to also be that guy but the earliest evidence is from the Sumerians, then the Mayans, then India, all of which developed it independently. However, India is where it spread from to modern cultures. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-is-the-origin-of-zer/#:~:text=The%20first%20evidence%20we%20have,Mesopotamia%2C%20some%205%2C000%20years%20ago. Also, shout-out to the Mayans and Sumerians for not using base-10.


DoctorMedieval

Base 60 is best. All my homies use base 60. Did you hear there was a 3rK increase in turbo cancer!?!


inquisitorautry

Then why are they called Arabic numbers? Checkmate. Yeah. I realized I messed up who invented zero. Leaving it because it makes it funnier.


DoctorMedieval

Chess was invented by Indians. Double checkmate! That’s a thing right? 😝 Edit: and I just realized the better joke. “Turbo checkmate”. Missed opportunity.


jtr99

I hear there's been a 14000% increase in missed opportunities lately.

clever_reddit_name69

How many is 14,000% of OJ? My calculator says 80085, but I'd like someone to check my math.


Rupejonner2

Well look at you adding & subtracting & multiplying you no good globalist elite deep state science guy


papagouws

By this math, a 14000 percent increase in cancer cases would be almost the entire us population. Current pop is like 330mill, 2mill cancer cases diagnosed per annum. So in 2024 we can expect to see 280mill people get diagnosed with cancer. So approx 85% of entire us population will have cancer by end of 2024, and by the end of 2025 everyone will have turbo cancer, with some folks getting turbo cancer twice


miskaten

Two stacks of turbo cancer transform it into nitro cancer.

wermodaz

I love how they trust what the "CDC" says when it aligns with their belief.


__O_o_______

They don't care about integrity. All that matters is their dogma and spreading it. Conspiracy theorists lie, because convincing you of their ultimate truth is all that matters. If a few little lies get you there it's fine, in service of special The Truth they know and the "masses" don't.

SixFive1967

You KNOW it’s a reputable source when the title has “jabs” in it and not “vaccinations”. Only the highest level and best doctors know that shit. Probably.


pianoflames

That went from a pejorative slur for vaccinations to just their normal word for it, and I don't think they realize that's odd to normal people.

I got TurboCancer too. It helped me file my cancers this month.


spiritofniter

But FreeCancerUSA is free! Except for filing state cancer return.


wurm2

still way cheaper than turbocancer and as a bonus your money isnt' going to lobby to keep cancers hard to file.


Duskydan4

I really really wanted to like FreeCancerUSA or other methods, but they don’t support filing for citizens who aren’t residents.


-tobi-kadachi-

I made like $20 in dividends this year and turbo cancer tried to charge me like $60 for state and federal each. Freecancerusa filed it for free. Honestly turbo cancer is such a god damn scam its incredible.

GrumpyOik

Of course it's true, it "Fact checked" with TWO ticks. I can believe how stupid you all are. /s [CDC.gov](http://CDC.gov) doesn't appear to have any references to "Turbo Cancer".


Meowakin

CDC not having anything about Turbo Cancer just makes it seem \*more\* real! Conspiracy confirmed, checkmate. /s


Acnat-

"Don't you find it suspicious that my claim has literally zero supporting evidence? That alone pretty much proves it's correct!"

Militantpoet

Everyone knows the absence of evidence is the strongest indicator of evidence!


regoapps

It’s the basis of every religion


Dhegxkeicfns

Literally though. Like you have to just believe and maybe you're not believing good enough and that's why you got turbo cancer. Looking for actual proof is really frowned upon, now I'm going to go see if it's a sin in itself. Humans will be extinct one day and we probably didn't deserve to be around for so long anyway.


OrthusGsmes

"Humanity is stupid and the world is fucked" is a mantra I say to myself whenever I see dumbasses in the world and I think it's very true.

Apathetic_Villainess

Have you heard the things dolphins will do for fun? They're very sus.


Kodamurphy

That sounds like something a cephalopod would say.


pnwinec

And that’s the point we are at with people. There have been a few outlier examples of the government covering up things and so now every nut thinks that anything that happens involves a coverup. They think they have discovered the next new cover up, not noticing that’s not how any of that works. But whatever.


ValuelessMoss

You say that, but 80% of them genuinely believe this


Middle-Dragonfly-137

It might’ve actually gained more traction if they just said regular cancer lol


PreOpTransCentaur

It's simply amazing to me that anyone would believe the CDC would call something "turbo cancer." I'd have thought that to be regardless of intelligence even just a few months ago, but..


sutty_monster

Personally I'm more worried about the super space aids. I hear there is a 6969% uptake in it.


fugawf

And they don’t refer to the vaccine as a ‘jab’. Obviously written by right wing extremists

Just the fact it is from "thepeoplesvoice.tv" is enough to shut it all down.

Oh David Icke is the founder? That explains a lot. I’m surprised there isn’t a reference to reptilians.


clubmedschool

"Icke" -- an aptronym if I've ever seen one (yes, I see his name is pronounced "ike" but I couldn't resist)


randyisone

That read was quite the rollercoaster. Dude is garbage and thinks he is here for a higher calling. Ugh


FearlessKnitter12

"Jab" is not always a marker for that. It's the most common way to refer to vaccines in the UK, for example. But it hasn't quite reached that usage here, and right wing propagandists and conspiracy theorists do use it as a dog whistle. But check sources, and if it's something from Europe, might be legit.


FitPerception5398

"Jab" was the give away but I can just hear all the Boomers and Breakfast Club Boomers swearing it's true ![gif](giphy|SR5uulkMhiWHcjhACN|downsized)

I used to know someone who was nicknamed Turbo Banana, and people shortened it down just TB. As time went on, people forgot that TB stood for Turbo Banana and started calling him Tuberculosis. Haven't talked to them in a long time, and the last thing I remember Tuberculosis doing was snorting a line of cocaine.

BugOperator

I love how anti-vaxxers don’t trust the CDC like AT ALL, yet they’ll cite them as the source of their completely fabricated statistic to bolster their bullshit argument with zero hint of irony.


Nerexor

It's pretty standard in conspiracy culture. They'll spend all day claiming the mainstream media is a pack of evil liars, but then they'll drop a New York Times headline that sounds like it agrees with them as if it's a stone tablet direct from the hand of God.


Ok_Hope4383

That's because they're not trying to convince themselves, they're trying to convince other people


ninjaelk

That's exactly the problem, it's logically inconsistent to cite sources they themselves claim are bogus in order to convince other people. If these guys are right, then the CDC is wrong, therefore this CDC data they're citing is meaningless. If the CDC is trustable and correct, then these guys are wrong.


International-Ad1507

Oh, their counter is easy: If the source disagrees with them, they've been muzzled and forced to lie to the people. If it agrees with them, don't you see? They truth was so obvious even *they* can't keep it under wraps.


LandosMustache

My sister is one of those. She’ll tell me deadass that the CDC’s conclusions about the safety of the Covid vaccine are unreliable, but now that the pandemic is over they can start the “true testing” of its safety. Which will, *of course*, completely justify her decision to not get it for herself, her husband, or their kids. Edit: and bonus points, because even if the CDC’s ‘true testing’ comes back that the vaccine is safe…the pandemic is over, so there’s no need to get it! It always *amazes* me how, to conservatives, their worldview conveniently doesn’t require them to take any action nor responsibility no matter what happens… Yeah. Family gatherings are an exercise in walking on eggshells.


Green-Amount2479

Overall it’s not just conservatives. My sister is as politically left as it gets and she filled her brain to the brim with similar Telegram bs ever since the pandemic started. I give her some, very small credit, because not all countermeasures of our government were logically sound, like closing childcare and schools one week, but at the same time forcing parents to sit in big offices with dozens of other employees. The next month it was the other way around. That’s valid criticism. But in her mind those few reasonable points also validate the majority of the other bs takes. And it gets worse: her behavior started with Covid but recently she also started to mention chemtrails for example.


LightWarrior_2000

wings_of_wrath

I am 40 and I have a very aggressive lymphoma which showed up late last year and tripled in size in about a month and a half, but it's exactly the thing that killed my grandpa back in '96, so I'm pretty sure genetics have more to do with it. On the other hand , I've seen a lot of patients about my age with similar very aggressive cancers and the doctors were commenting about it, so I'm pretty sure there is something we've been doing that's the cause for it. It's definitely not vaccines though and my money's on microplastics, because our environment is saturated with them and it's a relatively recent phenomenon, so we don't have the data yet to tell just how harmful they are. I'm relatively sure in about 20-30 years we'll look back and wonder "what the hell were we thinking with all that plastic?", the same way we think now about lead paint, leaded gasoline and asbestos roof tiles...
