Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

So one particular example of this is... grants studying how flies breed.
Yep, face value, no investigation, sounds kinda silly.
But, what its actually for, is for learning how to introduce sterile bugs into populations of them that are actively spreading some kind of plague.
... Like the screwworm outbreak that is currently ravaging the southern US and central America.
Yep. Yep, we had people and stuff and systems in place to be able to handle that.
But then Trump and Elon's DOGE boys just... wiped all of that out. And our reward from that, is a plague.
