The predator vision is actually a smell-o-vision

There is no amount of money I could be paid to post something like that and the fedora did it for free

He's not just a fedora guy, he was a Tory local election candidate!

tell me that someone put this on a billboard before the election

He caught some flak for it but he was going to lose by miles to the labour candidate in the first place so no one really bothered too much.

My pedophile alert alarm is going off the charts from that tweet.

I will take the expert's word on the subject. That hat tells me he knows what he's talking about

Okay so I normally lurk, but I think it's possible to add interesting context. What Oz said is legit in a general scientific sense. Studies have found women might have evolved an ability to avoid incest by smell. Studies have shown daughters truly are disgusted by the smell of direct male relatives.

Not saying Oz isn't a creep or a weirdo. But I'd lean towards that quote being taken out of context without knowing more.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Those studies have way to few participants to have any real value.

Scientists like to find significance in non-significant results when it fits their biases.

I see this all the time and it really sucks to have to repeatedly push back against it because you know those people were taught the importance of proving results are significant and are just ignoring the problem. It's usually from people in positions of power with financial conflicts of interest.

It's even worse when you say results from an animal study are insignificant, because they'll run another study that's bigger or somehow modified. Either way, more animals die.
