Top Ten Conspiracy Theories

What I don't understand is the concentration of fluoride in drinking water is 0.7 ppm but in toothpaste it is up to 1500 ppm, so if I swallow a little bit of toothpaste won't I be getting a far more significant dose of fluoride? Is there a chemist who can explain this (I'm guessing it is what the fluorine is bonded to but I don't know)?

Don't worry about speaking with a chemist or a dentist mate. Listen to the wisdom of someone who hasn't got a fucking scooby what they're going on about instead.

Tubes of toothpaste typically hold 75ml. You maybe use 1ml of toothpaste at a time. 1ml of toothpaste fluoridated to 1000ppm has as much fluoride as 1 litre of water fluoridated to 1ppm. However, hardly any toothpaste is actually ingested.

 

So, no.

So, no.

That makes sense apart from the "hardly any toothpaste is ingested" - makes mental note to start rinsing mouth properly. Of more concern is the volume of coffee I drink, which I have learnt can provide ten times as much fluoride as I get from brushing my teeth. Then again, even adding fluoridated water to this still leaves me well short of the tolerable daily intake so I think there are more pressing dietary concerns I should worry about.

QAnon nutters are gathered in Dealy Plaza right now as they believe JFK is going to appear and tell them Trump is his choice for president.  It’s raining though so hope RP has kagool.  

Did anyone inform them that JFK would be 104 years old, and dead?

I can't remember the name of that thing that panicked parents a few years ago, because there was supposed to be some animated character on YouTube or something, that was telling kids to kill themselves.

 

Looks like conspiracy theorists and shit-spreaders love a reboot as much as Hollywood does.

I thought the Lincoln Project had already claimed responsibility for that. The Dems were livid about it.

 

They did but only after people recognised some of those with tiki torches, not sure they would've done if nobody had noticed who any of them were :

I think they expect JFK junior who died in a plane crash which they claim was faked. They are proper nutters either way. That said, I’m not a stranger to the pink shirt, beige chinos look in the summer months.

The Tartarian Empire spanned the globe for centuries, creating some of the world's most magnificent buildings, until its final decline at the end of World War Two. Already, it's been so effectively erased, that most people don't know that it ever existed.

Honestly, it feels mad writing this...
