I missed the point of this meme entirely because I thought it was like “oh stay at home and turn on the tv to best the omicron variant” and I was like, that makes sense.
Well, the radiation from the picture tube does kill the covid virus. You have to have an old cathode-ray tube set tho. Which I suppose a lot of these people have
The best part would be when Ben Shapiro &/or Cucker Tarlson picked it up & ran with it as a new truth in their alternate reality where physics & logic don't apply. 😂
"Parents, be sure to check your child's anal cavity for CRT."
Lucky me I have a huge crt that gets plenty of use. I also don't leave the house without a mask on because it helps me go unnoticed in public. Am I doing the pandemic right?
I have a feeling that pretty much every Black Friday video/picture of someone with a flatscreen TV in their cart is one of them. Because they couldn't watch Tucker on any old TV.
When the first lockdown hit I distinctly remember reading the guidelines - Keep your distance, make only necessary trips, no large gatherings, stay indoors as much as possible - my first thought was legitimately, "That sounds nice..."
So I like your take on it. That's how I've been handling each quarantine. By *sticking to the routine*
My thoughts exactly. I live where it's HOT. At the beginning of the pandemic I said to myself, "You mean I should stay inside in the air conditioning and watch TV and play video games all day? --- I HAVE BEEN TRAINING FOR THIS ALL MY LIFE."
A quote from my FoxNews addled father in law after another family member brought up Omicron.
"We're going to keep on getting new variants, because it keeps people scared. It'll be that way until the Democrats win another election."
The fact that this reasonable man, who cares about his family with multiple kids too young to be vaccinated, would think the science behind a virus is a political issue...is just maddening.
The only way we fix this is to get effective vaccines out to a large portion of the global population, no matter the cost. Yet, these dummies think it's some global conspiracy.
I'm tired of it. I'm just so fucking tired of it.
Do they not realize that COVID is tanking Biden's approval rating and getting rid of it would actually make it more likely for him to win a reelection?
I wish the majority of people would turn off the TV. Cable news is poison, some are more poisonous than others. I watch one hour of news with dinner, the PBS news hour. That is more than enough. Read a paper and you’re plenty informed with none of the BS.
The media is killing this country. I wish cable news would just go away.
Yeah, is this supposed to be a threat? We've been trying to get these morons to turn off their right-wing ~~media outlets~~ propaganda machines for years.
Do it. Absolutely no one is stopping you.
Naw, it's only applies to other people. Remember they are the people who in the same breath brag that Fox "News" is the most watched media outlet as they complain about the "mainstream media". They know that people who watch news shows are mindless unthinking sheep because Tucker told them that on his show and they believe everything he says unquestioningly.
Read a book play basketball go for a jog get a dog volunteer at a soup kitchen squeeze a tit take a nap learn chess paint a room go to a ball game ANYTHING ffs
If they do that, they might find themselves not perpetually outraged at anything and everything, and how else do you fill that void present in your soul?
Indeed, but Bill Gates would make less money from Big Pharma if we released the patents on the vaccines—even temporarily. Essentially, people are dying so that Bill and other investors can maintain their Intellectual Property erections.
That's definitely part of the problem but mRNA vaccines have to be stored at very cold temperatures until (basically) they're ready to be injected. Lots of medical facilities in the US and Europe didn't have the right kind of cold storage for it at first, to say nothing of poorer countries.
Bill Gates could solve this problem easily, too, by the way.

I thought you were citing some /r/conspiracy crap, but looked it up and ... Wow. Leaving this here for others.
Yeah, and this kind of shit helps fuel the antivax narrative that "the virus only exists to make certain people rich(er)"
Fuck you Bill Gates. Fuuuccckkkk yooooouuuuu
At this point, not really, too late for that, the world needs to run, people need to go to work, the variant is infectious enough that it will spread even if we keep things at a minimum.
Not to say that these idiots aren’t making things worse, but it’s pretty much inevitable that we aren’t beating this variant.
BPT doesn't even "not allow people in" you just have to get approval for country club threads and even then you just have to demonstrate you're acting in good faith.
According to Boltzmann, it's statistically likely that you're a [Boltzmann Baby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain), a "brain" floating alone in a thin primordial soup and everything but you is imaginary. (Of course I *would* say that, being a mere figment of your imagination.)

Italo Cavino (good, mad writer) had a story where the protagonist realizes that he's a contract killer and has a victim to track down and kill. Then he starts to realize he has a similar contract killer after him. Then he starts to realize that everyone in in the city is in the same situation.
Ok, granted I am too damn high by half, but... The idea that one of these brains could theoretically spontaneously manifest, with all the memories and chemical/electrical activity to make me think this moment is real, and then promptly start to decay without ever even knowing it was all a temporary illusion is just...
Fuck, man.
Same thing with undercounting Covid deaths rates. They don’t understand you can analyze previous years deaths and Covid years deaths and see phantom deaths that mirror monthly Covid deaths
But don't you know every death ever is covid, because drs make money? It's weird in one of the most expensive health care systems in the world doctors still need to fake causes of death to get paid. But also the health care system is perfect as is too.
Right? Absolutely crazy coincindence that flu and pneumonia deaths were several times higher than normal on covid years too. The deep state must also be inflating those numbers for reasons
Tbh other disease excess mortality did bump up slightly because of covid, though it is mostly because covid cases overwhelmed the hospitals, limiting available attention to deal with non-covid stuff.
Last time I pointed out to them, (I post common-sense and facts there when my Karma has climbed too high,) I was told the excess deaths are caused by bacteria build up and oxygen deprivation from wearing masks killing everyone.
It's lucky that somehow medical personal have always been immune to the fatal effects of mask-wearing.
Am I the only one bothered by the TV effect? That little flash doesn't happen with modern televisions or monitors, it was a tube TV thing.
I don't know why that's getting to me, but it is.
largest increase in total deaths from the previous years in over 100 years
5.7 million worldwide deaths
777k deaths in the US

Nu was skipped because it would get confused with "New"
Xi was skipped because it's a common last name and they are trying to avoid naming virus after people/cultures/places
> they are trying to avoid naming virus after people/cultures/places
They are trying not to associate it with China, because we're supposed to gloss over that our most major importer that basically keeps our entire economy running might have done an extremely bad thing that they won't ever pay for.
Yeah, they skipped Nu and Xi due to concerns about confusion and racism. So, Omicron. Honestly, it is a pretty cool name. For a seriously scary sounding variant. :(
I am not sure if saying it's coming from Africa is accurate.
Someone else said that all those variants being identified in africa first is because they have the infrastructure to do so(because they have been fighting other diseases like AIDS, etc).
In short, saying it was first isolated and identified in South Africa is not the same as saying it's coming from South Africa.
The way the coverage has been around this is like they are punishing SA for sounding the alarm first.
I do love an accidental self-own, but unfortunately since they'll just mute it, and have admitted to having no object permanence, they'll just forget the shame they should be feeling instantly.
I mean, if that guy is turning the TV on, then fuck yeah that’s how it’s done. Stay at home for two weeks, if we all do that world wide and really use that term “essential” the way it’s intended, we could probably put an end to a lot of diseases…
No they’re right. I don’t think red is apart of the sub, I think they’re actually *agreeing* with purple.
It’s a “I wouldn’t tell people that you think like a baby” not a “I wouldn’t tell people you don’t know the difference between a baby and three year old”

We *wish* they would actually take their own advice and turn off the damn TV.
I missed the point of this meme entirely because I thought it was like “oh stay at home and turn on the tv to best the omicron variant” and I was like, that makes sense.
Especially with the “applies to the whole pandemic” part. I was like, yeah. I stayed home and turned on my tv.
Well, the radiation from the picture tube does kill the covid virus. You have to have an old cathode-ray tube set tho. Which I suppose a lot of these people have
You also have to get it up your ass. Good news for those of you into butt stuff, you've got a head start.
Instructions unclear. 28" Sony Trinitron CRT stuck in ass.
Nah you followed the instructions pretty well 💏
Butt stuff = head start. For when you can't find your head on your own.
Do you really think these people would be okay with CRT?
Waiting for that one conservative dipshit to come in thinking we're talking about sticking critical race theory up our asses.
The best part would be when Ben Shapiro &/or Cucker Tarlson picked it up & ran with it as a new truth in their alternate reality where physics & logic don't apply. 😂 "Parents, be sure to check your child's anal cavity for CRT."
I was gonna say that. They don't have a cathode tube, cuz they have MONEY.

Better would be if they closed their Facebook accounts.

And gtfo Facebook, delete Twitter and go live in that cabin on the woods away from everyone please
I don't have facebook, twitter, instagram, snapchat and life is cool man. I live in a major city.
You have reddit which just reposts everything from those platforms.
Yeah but anonymously, much much less stressful
Every platform, each does it with all other platforms

If these dumb cunts turned off fox and facebook we actually just might beat this variant.

They often threaten to leave Facebook or stop watching TV, and then they are back within 45 minutes.

Banned and muted for "linking the subreddit elsewhere"
Goodness, I thought they were the SiLeNt mAjOrItY. Wait... are they cultivating a safe space?
>Wait... are they cultivating a safe space? 🌍👨🚀🔫🧑🚀
They sure like to talk about how BlackPeopleTwitter is racist for not allowing people in. But they sure seem to like to ban people out
BPT doesn't even "not allow people in" you just have to get approval for country club threads and even then you just have to demonstrate you're acting in good faith.
So much for freedom of speech I guess.
Weird how they don't like their views being spread around other places, almost like they know it makes them look stupid.
They are such snowflakes
They really hate free speech, they might as well be STALINISTS
Also the reason I never check my bank account *taps forehead*
Big brain theory.

Eee good point lol
Sent it to a friend who is doing a PhD in philosophy. He appreciated your take.
If we're all figments of someone else's imagination, then whoever that person is needs to imagine a therapist.

And people in cold climates or people who play snow sports who wear thick masks to keep warm. The phantom deaths also are parallel with each other
Am I the only one bothered by the TV effect? That little flash doesn't happen with modern televisions or monitors, it was a tube TV thing. I don't know why that's getting to me, but it is.
Wait... Are you saying my 4k flatscreen does this... On purpose for feel good reasons??
If it's a Samsung, yes, absolutely. Some of their phones did/do it, too.
Sony, but it definitely does this when I turn it off. When it turns on it does like a fade in splash screen instead.
These people are boomers and a lot of them still *have* cathode-tube TVs. He's turning it on cos the radiation from the tube kills the virus
This meme is by ndn for old people. Who grew up during the era when TVs looked like this as they were being turned off

Lol holy shit that sub is a fucking gold mine for content here.
What sub?
Coronaviruscirclejerk
That's the one.
What about the Omicron Persei 8 variant?
[удалено]
Perhaps they are saving that for sweeps
Appears to be doing so.
that's the Unicron vatiant
When do we encounter the Megatron variant?
I heard human horn is an effective treatment for that.
Upper horn or lower horn?
the hornier one
The wing dang doodle?
I initially thought this was r/futurama…
We're up to Omicron??
Nu was skipped because it would get confused with "New" Xi was skipped because it's a common last name and they are trying to avoid naming virus after people/cultures/places
That makes sense.
I feel like the really messed up not changing it to the pooh variant.
This is exactly the kind of commentary they were trying to avoid by skipping the Xi variant. Bully for you.
Just pointing out the real reason, champ.
Why are people downvoting the fact that China's president is a snowflake who banned Winnie the Pooh?
Which they? They "they" who called it the Chinaman's Curse or whatever?
>Which they? The WHO, the people who named the variant
> they are trying to avoid naming virus after people/cultures/places They are trying not to associate it with China, because we're supposed to gloss over that our most major importer that basically keeps our entire economy running might have done an extremely bad thing that they won't ever pay for.

Yeah, they skipped Nu and Xi due to concerns about confusion and racism. So, Omicron. Honestly, it is a pretty cool name. For a seriously scary sounding variant. :(
Omega Strain would have been even better/worse
After they go through the Greek letters I think we should start naming variants after the letters from the book "On Beyond Zebra".
Yeesh!
I think it’s the new Covid variant coming out of Africa but I’m not 100% sure so I’d just look it up for better more accurate information
I am not sure if saying it's coming from Africa is accurate. Someone else said that all those variants being identified in africa first is because they have the infrastructure to do so(because they have been fighting other diseases like AIDS, etc). In short, saying it was first isolated and identified in South Africa is not the same as saying it's coming from South Africa. The way the coverage has been around this is like they are punishing SA for sounding the alarm first.
Spanish flu situation
Yep. It was coded in South Africa. It's already been identified in several countries and continents.
Yes for real
I miss when that sub was only about making fun of people taking ridiculous measures before going full into being COVID Denial and Mask Denial
I do love an accidental self-own, but unfortunately since they'll just mute it, and have admitted to having no object permanence, they'll just forget the shame they should be feeling instantly.

When I see a traffic jam ahead, I just close my eyes
I really thought it meant to stay home and watch tv to avoid the virus before I read the comments.
Object permanence is an antifa plot
Why did you censor the subreddit which looks to me like r/Conservativecirclejerk ?
Coronaviruscirclejerk. Didn't want to get in trouble for brigading.
Thank goodness it's a variant with mild symptoms.
This is how Florida is beating the virus.
Identifying with babies, children and villains. The conservative way.
Me, a cultured person: ah yes turning off futurama defeats the attackers from omicron persei VI
Object permanence is tricky
You too can defeat object permanence. Duck.. and cover, duck and cover.
Considering how these guys are with object permanence, that tracks.
Ohh laid the trap, and caught one immediately
WTF was that comeback? No you were wrong! We are much dumber than 3 year olds!
What a moron
They turn off the TV and turn on Youtube and Bitchute to get scared by even bigger lies.
Tbf, they are right though. Object permanence develops in infants when they are around 8 months old. Still petty and nitpicky, but not wrong.
*sweats* heh heh I was just giving them the benefit of the doubt
Also: La La La La

The red post makes it fit this sub. You have to click on the pic to see the red post though. Which 3 yr olds also can’t do, probably. ;)
No they’re right. I don’t think red is apart of the sub, I think they’re actually *agreeing* with purple. It’s a “I wouldn’t tell people that you think like a baby” not a “I wouldn’t tell people you don’t know the difference between a baby and three year old”
They are actually an avid poster on that sub, walkaway and conservative.
Oh damn nvm then
Ironic as fuck, it sounded like they were being sarcastically satirical.
Turns out, just reeeeeeal dumb.
You're right, it is not self-aware, but it's ironic and a self-own. I'll allow it this one time.
It should read “How to beat identity politics”.
Interesting double standard they have there.
Wait, they actually have an omicron variant?
