Fact Checkers debunked this, saying Monkeypox is Sexually Transmitted is disinformation...


And according to the WHO, those words are just as dangerous as the virus itself.
$&#@! Science is now disagreeing with the Fact Checkers!


So apparently Monkeypox really doesn't transmit much from skin-to-skin contact, it's actually an STD.


Um...

They are using the fact that it is not exclusively sexually transmitted to claim it is not an STD and falsely imply that sexual transmission is not actually a significant factor. Skin to skin contact can spread it, however sex is more reliable and effective than most if not all other forms of skin contact.
Shared items being touched, mucus, and respiratory sprays can also spread it.

Just a time-traveling robot stranded on Earth.
A new study shows that wildlife is migrating out of black neighborhoods because of systemic racism. This does seem pretty legit to me, like have you seen how racist swans are towards ducks moving into their pond? And swans are usually white while ducks sometimes come in brown!

"Everything is racist, according to me!"

"Everything is raciiiiist... in 2023!"

Less cringe, more 'Huh'; not surprised the dogs of Chernobyl are now genetically distinct from all others around the world.

It means in the future, it will be possible to genetically trace and track the specific lineages (~15 distinct heritages), and use these dogs as studies on long-term radiation exposure and adaptations to it.

I'll take a flying guess that wild animals really do not like being constantly exposed to excessively loud, thumping "music".
