For the fact checkers www.bbc.com/news/61333847
According to the WHO, in 2020 and 2021 the US recorded more than 930,000 excess deaths, behind India (4.7m), Russia (1.1m) and Indonesia (1m).
OneWomanCreamTeamSince the meme mentions rate, rather than total deaths, this graphic from that article is probably more relevant
This is an informative chart that definitely contributes to the discussion. Without any clue where it comes from, though, I have no way to gauge its credibility.
dohpaz42According to the article that this graphic came from, it’s from Johns Hopkins University, data as of 4 May.
Beaver [she/her]Mexico is smarter than republican America
ZorsithI’m curious on how that translates in population density? The US is (on average) a fair bit lower in density compared to other countries, and still had atrocious numbers for Covid
Do those three countries count as developed? The author could be relying on that qualifier. As a U.S. citizen, I would rather be compared to places like France, Germany, Japan, etc. than them (no offense ment, but we’re talking about aspirations).
UnderpantsWeevilYou could have made this meme better by abstaining from AI art.
I love it
No, let’s leave the lazy ai political memes to the Republicans
I think this is a bit different. We aren’t making ridiculous claims. It’s just a normal meme made with a different tool.
I agree that this kind of lazy meme content is what image generators should be used for. However, the issue is not the tool, but the materials that it’s made from. By using these generators created from morally and ethically dubious source material, we help corporations profit off of work that isn’t theirs.
You mean they didn’t pay Getty for their entire library?
They aren’t just scraping Getty. They’re scraping your local wedding photographer’s website, your social media accounts, and the work of every small artist on the web.
If it was just big corps that they were scraping from, yeah, fuck 'em. But it’s the little guys who run their own business and are losing out that I care about. Hell, they probably pay Getty to use their content because Getty has the money to sue if they don’t. Just like they pay Reddit for the content the users make rather than just scraping it.
When it spits out copyrighted characters that they obviously didn’t pay licensing to use, it’s hilarious. It’s a lot less so when it spits out the work of award-winning photographers and artists.
Isn’t it sad how easy it is to spot? We’ve wasted billions of dollars and burned more resources than entire countries just to scalp a job from artists making the most generic images imaginable. Corporate Memphis wishes it could be this bad.
This really brings up how fucking mind bogglingly short our attention span and memory seems to be. Donald trump murdered my grandfather, he murdered some of my favorite musicians and artists, he murdered one in 300 Americans, and most of us just fucking moved on and forgot I guess
SimplyChadPretty wild how it feels like an entire lifetime ago but it was really only like 3 years.
Yeah but people couldn’t go out to bars and go out drinking! /s
Bowling and hair salons were the 2 biggest ones I remember people losing their minds over
Bowling? Really? How quaint.

Go play in your special gold house now little Donnie, it’s time for the grown-ups to do boring grown-up stuff.
But Daddy I want to be President!
And now!
Don’t care how, I want it now.
Don’t care how, I want it now!

And he did inject himself with pointless crap so big pharma got paid.
You mean he got vaccinated (which he did)? That’s good, not pointless.
Lol if tv repeats something enough times it must be true eh? It is pointless, see me; never sick never got shots. They have people conditioned with fear only so money goes into their pockets.
That’s som conspiracy crap mixed up with both survival bias and a sole data point.
The scientific world overwhelmingly says that the COVID vaccine saved tons of people(more than houndred of thousands).
Vaccines exist since centuries and they work. Also your drump did get all the vaccines lol.
You should think this over IMO, if you’re not a doctor in immunology and all alone in your ideas, you’re just wrong.
Its your dumbfuck Trump since birds of a feather flock together. Not a conspiracy if you follow the money, pretty easy to see conflict of interest since doctors are paid by huge drug companies and would lose their license if they don’t tow the line. Relying on injecting yourself to make you healthy is dumbest things popular culture can come up with. Your body has millions of years of evolution and works better without being tricked with synthetic chemicals.
Dude I hope you never will need modern medicin (or dentistry). You’re probably a teenager so well you’ll learn, eventually.
Well are you old enough to remember when WMDs where all the hype exactly like covid? You still want to be tricked that easily by repeating same thing over and over?
What about dentists? Or surgeons? Should they be banned too?
He wanted to nuke a tornado
Hey, hey! Fake news! He wanted to nuke a hurricane.
And very likely because he saw it in Sharknado 3 (he almost had a cameo in that one which is why he probably saw it).
AkasazhTbf though, thatis a rather spiffy look for a toddler
AI slop. Downvoted
This is the way
‘Trump is terrible! He sucks!’
‘Do you remember when Kamala jailed and foced-labour you for smoking pot? Have she apologized yet? Are you mama’s good boy?’
‘Trump is worse!’
Btw, ofc I don’t support either. You americans are really fucked up anyways.
Nonsense ramblings.
Well, I didn’t expect any positive feedback specifically in this political meme. I don’t say voting is bad, just don’t become a fanboy of someone too arrogant to publicly apologize.
