This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

We found this old matchbook in our kitchen. It's for a coroner's election. The Democrat candidate is on one side and the Republican candidate is on the other. (lemmy.world)

The Republican candidate didn’t have a medical degree? I’d have thought that was a requirement for coroner.

An unqualified Republican candidate? What are the odds!

You do t have to be "qualified", not being qualified can be a good thing. For example a medical review board, it's good to have normal people because they are a check and balance and don't let bad doctors off easily where doctors are bias and will.

The answer to bad scientists are good scientists. The answer to bad scientists is never a drywaller named jeff. Im gonna assume youd prefer your triple bypass is done by a heart surgeon and not a charismatic accountant who is keeping surgeons accountable. Stop drinking the koolaid and grow up.

Jeff will not be happy to hear this.

Jeff can console himself by realizing that he doesn't have to pay back the student loans the scientists are paying.

No but he did have to deal with the grief of breaking into a trade profession that's so old boys club dominated we might as well start calling them guilds again.
