      The saddest part of this was that I’m so used to the creationists’ approach to covid that before finishing the headline, I genuinely assumed it was a woman trying to rid themselves of every ounce of their own DNA in a bid to outfox the government.

      That’s where we are right now. Were I correct, I would not have been fazed. I always loathed that movie with everything in me, but I think it’s because I saw it as meaning to entertain rather than to warn.

          I know, I’ve really been meaning to and then I forget, and then I remember, and then I forget again. I’ve never heard it mentioned except in glowing terms. Not really the nihilism, though.

          Knowing just barely enough about it in the first place to even have a vested interest, I think maybe I’m too prone to being sad tonight and I’m just gonna shelve it atm and go back to my personal bg3 hell. One should at least have stuffed shells or something, if they’re going to feel more apathetic about humanity than I already do.

    Anyone else remember the bank robber covered with lemon juice who believed they were invisible to cameras?

    I mean, to be fair… With the way Mt Dew eats up my stomach lining, I can sort of understand someone thinking it might get rid of DNA on the skin… Kinda…

    Man. Florida. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Who knows what kind of crazy will happen next.

      Also tbf, it doesn’t actually take much to break down DNA.

    And it would have worked too… If her DNA wouldn’t have been on the victim’s body too.

    Just to be clear, If I recall correctly, she washed her victim’s DNA from herself with it.
