Anytime a conservative of any power (politics, religious etc) claims this or along these lines, they should immediately be intensely investigated for exactly what they are accusing.

Fun fact: melatonin is often more effective in very specific dosing... Overdoing it by even a very small margin can have the opposite the intended effect.

It's almost as if messing with hormones blindly without proper knowledge is a terrible idea.

Considering the societal normalizing of drugging children to sleep as a "joke", I'm not in the least surprised. The US has an illness related to legal drug abuse, via things like alcoholism as the primary entertainment option and generations of cigarettes / caffeine / etc ...

I know these things are absolutely not unique to the US, but it's startling to see the difference in scope and acceptance here vs many other countries.

I believe Larry Niven wrote about this very concept.

If I recall, it seems that while nice in theory, capitalism and less ethical folks become a problem quickly. To be fair though, the same can be said if pretty much any industry.

Can we somehow convince MAGA that it's super patriotic to consume a bunch of exlax about 30 minutes before the parade?

Though on second thought, it might accidentally improve the smell.

Some parents are only good examples when under the category of "don't do it like that".

The attorney is just nervous that you might reach peak truth before the world is ready for it

Absolutely agree, but also points a sharp point at the general evils lurking behind most politics, essentially nailing an anarchic view of "doing what's right" as opposed to "doing what's legal".
