Hello police. Yes im traveling behind a vehicle that is labled as carrying a pathogen and it obviously does not look like it would meet requirments for that type of transport. Yes. Yes. I would think homeland security would make sense. Seems an ask questions later situation for sure.

Opens it

It's a car.

"What? The sign keeps people from getting too nosy, most of the time."

No there's cures for that.

The cure for republicanism requires a functioning ballot system.

It's almost too late for America.

[–] transientDCer@lemdro.id 41 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is literally just a joke about how people become obsessed with dirt bikes or track days - whichever type of motorcycle he has in there.

I got infected by that one by my ex girlfriend's father of all people. Still fighting the disease 12 years later. I accidentally infected my wife too.

So that's where all the Abrahamic religions are stored.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

The cure for religion is education.

Just The Ark of The Covenant

This image was far more terrifying pre pandemic. We currently live with a virus that has no cure and we handled that with the grace of a goat playing a professional game of tennis.

For better or worse, here we still are.

Covid may be dangerous, but for most people your immune system cures you of it.

Rabies, which is likely what that truck is carrying, is almost always fatal if you're not vaccinated in time and there is no cure.

No joke.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Seeing the motorcycle sticker, I believe it's just a trailer with motorcycles in it because they can be addictive and there's no cure for it!

[–] Confuzzeled@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it's a horse box and the driver is a beastiality enthusiast.

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You didn't have to post that.

[–] Starayo@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you look at it from a deterministic perspective, they had no choice but to post that.

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

If you look at it from a quantum perpective, they didn't post that. Also, you don't exist. Neither do I.

[–] eek2121@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Tell that to all the people who died or who have long covid.

Long covid is actually a subset of a series of diseases we have no cure for. It has similar symptoms to Lyme disease, ME/CFS, or PICS.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

for most people your immune system cures you of it.

Just like polio. Make sure to use all the means at your disposal, including a vaccine tested on like 7 billion other people. If you can't handle the icky needle part, consider trying to overthrow your government in a shaman costume.

Great fake album cover

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.

[–] Depress_Mode@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Genie, for my first wish, I wish that everyone who has ever seen this photo or ever will can just look at the stickers right there on the bumper and see that this is just a joke about being obsessed with dirt bikes, not any kind of deadly pathogen or anything.

Seriously, it’s sad how many people over the years have taken the phrase written there far too literally.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

With no context, how are we meant to take what looks like a warning sign?

What does "cry wolf" mean?

[–] Depress_Mode@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The context is right there on the trailer.

“Look twice” is a phrase to raise driver awareness of motorcycle safety. Right below it, though kind of hard to see, it says “[MO]TORCYCLES”

Then there’s the Yamaha sticker. They make motorcycles (and musical instruments lol).

Finally, you think some deadly pathogen would just be transported in a flimsy-ass consumer grade trailer? How about some Occam’s razor?

To “cry wolf” is to unnecessarily raise the hue and cry (either on purpose, or through naïveté), something those taking this phrase literally are far more guilty of than the owner of this trailer.

If I say “Watch out, don’t hurt yourself thinking too hard,” that, like the above, would be understood as a joke even though it takes the form of a warning. It’s not my fault if you freak yourself out worrying about literally hurting yourself by thinking too hard.

Waffle House syrup.

A waffle house right by a day's inn? That's just convenient, ngl

Sure that there not just "greed" in it and the other sticker is just camouflage?
