What's the most wild and out-there hopium/copium take you've ever heard from a liberal? The more absurd, the better. Give me your biggest whoppers. (hexbear.net)

Mine's a tie between a near future and a not so near future sci-fantasy bazinga take:

so-true "Self-driving cars are the key to a post-scarcity future!" (when asked how the fuck that conclusion was drawn, I was told "do the research.")

so-true "Even if climate change is proven to actually be a problem, climate doesn't matter in space. We can have fully sustainable cattle farms in orbit producing as much meat as we need. Elon Musk." (yes, that bazinga fuck actually said "Elon Musk" at the end of that claim like it somehow stamped a seal upon the rest of the take)

Oh my God I've never heard this one but it's so stupid it's very funny to me.

    I know! I mean do they have any idea hiw much a cattle ranch costs to set up and maintain on Earth? Where grass grows out of the ground and there's oxygen and a water cycle all just happening. Do they have any concept of what it would take to put all that in space. How much does it cost to send shit to space per pound? A full grown steer is over 1,000 pounds!

    Someone was trying to tell me recently that all of the studies about the amount of water required to sustain cattle ranches are wrong, “because of the four stomachs of the cow.” I found them too incoherent to even argue with and have no idea what they meant or where they picked up that one. Some carnivore diet guru, I guess.
