The same reactionary wingnuts who used to fret a lot about hormones and sports have abruptly pivoted. Not long ago, figures like Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr. were hell-bent on keeping testosterone, the elixir of their gods, in its gendered lane. Now they want athletes of all sexes to surge with male hormones. They’ve become pro-doping.
Thus the Enhanced Games (yep, that’s the name), nominally a steroids-addled sports event but in fact a eugenics experiment venture-capitalized with max virility by Thiel and Don Jr… For extra manly pow, the event’s CEO is Aron D’Souza, a Thiel pal who spearheaded Thiel’s crusade against Gawker Media for the crime of press freedoms.
Nobody tell them what the body does to excess testosterone.
Why is real life so fucking stupid right now
My guess is that we died during Covid and this is some kind of hell. Even though things were bad before 2020, I feel that the last five years has just been one bad thing beating the last bad thing
Unfortunately though, there are still people at the top living like fucking kings.
So if this were some sort of afterlife, that would imply that they were “good” and got the rewards, and we were “bad,” and get the punishment.
They are demons. Not every “human” would be real in hell. That’s why they are getting richer exponentially. It’s just to punish us. Hopefully when we die here, it’s not just another circle ⭕️ 🔥
It makes me think back to episodes of Lost and think “that’s so much more plausible than current reality.”

Because the Supreme Court decided to allow unlimited dark money in politics with Citizens United.
Because Biff Tannen time-travelled from 1985 to 1955 to give himself a sports almanac that let him amass a huge fortune on sports betting, which he used to take over the country.
Oh god…
The good news is that all you have to do to fix this is make out with your mom.
Listen, I don’t make the rules. Just get to second base with your mom and we can all go home.
I’m just an innocent bystander here, but I specifically remember the last time these two were in 1955, the kid had to run from his mom, and I’m pretty sure the crazy scientist was drunk the whole time, at the very least.
If the scientist is neither crazy nor drunk, can they truly be said to be a scientist?
would you stop suggesting making out with my mom i’m starting to think you have some kind of octopus complex
Prove to me it wouldn’t help.
I would need a shovel for that

As one of Chevy Chase’s characters said, “Every day is better than the next.”
Because you can’t rule earth with just a few handful of ultra-rich overlords without making the masses totally dumb and easily manipulated first…
FML, i forgot about Peter thiels methhead olympics…

They’re so anti trans they even want their women to be manly.
Its almost like transphobia is just sexism with extra steps.
These are the sorta guys who think: If they’re not hot enough to fuck or my bro they hold no value as a human

Yeah. Kinda like white Afghanistan, without the beards.
Downvoted for shitty headline.
Bad “journalist,” bad!
Nobody tell Patrick Boivin
I recommend the QAA podcast - a Qanon debunking podcast originally, but branching out. They did an episode on this weeks ago.
what episode was that? i’m a pretty consistent listener but i have a shit memory
Have to admit I’m not 100% sure it was QAA - could’ve been Conspirituality or even KnowledgeFight
Is this your card? https://www.conspirituality.net/episodes/brief-olympics-for-dopers
Thanks! and sorry to @possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone
poke
edit: actually idk if your app works like mine, so: somebody replied with the episode in q
nice, thank you!
But they don’t have a say on that though unless they are part of the Olympic committee 🤷
So who cares?
They’re creating their own events, separate from the official Olympics
Title appears to be claiming otherwise, which is what I think the parent comment was taking issue with.
I can’t believe that this is even real! We have to be living in a simulation. There’s no way that the SNL skit “All Drug Olympics” is becoming real life. What the actual shit, man?
Does it count if it is already real, just not the actual, official, Olympics?
Because I had seen a news article recently about an actual drug-fueled athletics competition somewhere in the world because someone overdosed and died, sparking questions of whether or not the competition should be allowed to exist.
What’s killing me here is that this was literally a joke 35 years ago. A joke that was intended for all of society to laugh at. Everyone at the time thought this was stupid and funny. No one laughing at this in the late 80s would have even begun to seriously consider an All Drug Olympics.
We’re at a point now where a bunch of demonstrably insane billionaires are really doing this. What the hell is happening?
Fucking children?
