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

[-] [email protected] 71 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago

this administration

Based on the other comment you mean the US government? Do you just assume everyone on the internet is American?

[-] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago

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

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

It's super annoying when the default country on Lemmy is the USA.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

The default country for anything stupid, yes

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

There isn't even the "this is a US website" excuse anymore, like on Reddit

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Do you know a dumber one?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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
