“Missing context” is the most absurd aspect of the absurd world of “fact-checking.” They’re not even pretending there is anything factually amiss. They’re just flat out saying “this needs to be spun in a way that reinforces our preconceived narrative.”
Haha. I used to work as a public defender and got the "missing context" explanation from clients all the time, especially in domestic violence cases. I would have to explain to them that the added context is an explanation of what happened, but not a defense. "Yeah, I hit her, but..." just doesn't fly.
So I guess fact-checkers and wife beaters have this "missing context" fixation in common. Can we then conclude that fact-checkers ARE wife beaters? Seems logical to me.
It would seem that if the context was something like, "she was coming at me with a knife", then it SHOULD be a defense. Should I take it that the "context" in your comment never actually reached that level, or is the legal system in your area broken when it comes to domestic violence?
The funniest is my kids’ elementary STEM teacher in Aug/ Sept 2020 made a huge to scale chart showing the kids how much bigger fart aerosols are than coronavirus aerosols, then asked how many of them had smelled a fart through underwear, pants, AND a mask, and pointed out if they smelled it they inhaled it. 😂🤣😂
It’s a he, and because the school is still rooted in objective reality. He was hired because he had a business doing science experiments for kids’ birthday parties (I think he’s an engineer by education, but decided he liked blowing stuff up with little kids more, and the school pays him a lot to come do that 5 days a week for the students instead. The school also openly rejects race and gender theory. Yes, private, conservative, and Christian. I vote for everyone’s kids to have the same educational choices we can afford for our kids. Unfortunately more people vote against their own children having those opportunities. 🤷♀️
I've said this MANY times... drawers and pants can't stop a fart molecule, which is orders of magnitude larger than a SARS-CoV-2 virion, but a mask will??? Critical thinking is in very short supply.
Things that make me leap out of bed faster than a leg cramp: Dh emits an SBD under the covers, waits for the reaction, smirks, and murmurs, “You realize farts are particles of the real thing …” 😲😲😲
In the alternative, “o, I’m so sorry! If you can smell this thru your so-protective mask, you cannot be protected from the much smaller viral particles” (or whatever the virus is), said w/ a smirk
I think you have the sizes exactly reversed. Organic chemistry is not my thing, but (bad pun, intended) gas molecules are very simple, rarely more than a dozen atoms and often less.
Now let's get to the bottom of matters. A virus is many orders of magnitude* more complex. The RNA (DNA in some) strand alone is tens of thousands of amino acids, each perhaps several atoms. We have not even considered the rest of the virus.
Anyway, I'm just blowing gas here. I really don't know the specifics. I'd make a WAG (wild ass guess) that a virus is a million times the size of the average foul gas molecule.
You may think my opinion stinks, but when I want to share an opinion, I just let 'er rip!
*"Order of magnitude" is a fancy pants way of saying "ten times". Makes me sound smarter than I really am.
Not to rain on a fun meme, but the fart odor is produced by gas molecules (hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol, and dimethyl sulfide). Gas molecules are most certainly much smaller than a virion. Most likely there are some small fecal particulates too, but those might actually be stopped by filtering material. In any case, observing that a gas can pass through some filter material doesn't mean that a virus particle does too.
Beyond that, the material in a pair of underwear is going to be significantly different than that in a face mask. That being the case, the so called fact checkers, have probably stumbled into at least a sliver of truth, this time. Even a blind squirrel...
Oh, no doubt. My observation was that Lilith's Twitter post was pretty much destined to be pooh pooed by the Twiterati, conflating gas molecule size with virion size, as it seemed to do.
There are so many analogies... Andrei Vasilevskiy trying to guard a goal twenty feet wide... James Harden shooting a free throw into a dump truck sized net...
As a past master in passing gas, allow me to air my opinion. Unless one miscalculates horribly, any properly delivered fart should be 100% gas. That said, the occasional mishap may result in the other two states of matter (solid and liquid) being dispensed as well*.
*This goes by many colorful names: a shart, a wet one, and so forth. I thought up the name "short changer." Now, in normal usage, to shortchange someone usually means you got less than you bargained for. But with my defecationition, it means you get more than you expected, and you probably need to change shorts. So be hip to this tip: when you rip, try to avoid the drip!
More Context: underwear must be inspected for holes and tears before donning. It should always be adjusted and worn correctly, never below the upper intergluteal cleft, sometime known colloquially as the “butt crack.”
Underwear should be changed frequently for best effectiveness. Defective underpants should be discarded in the trash, not on the ground. Remember to wash your hands before and after dropping your drawers.
Studies have shown that Underwear gas filtration achieves maximum results when used in conjunction with social distancing and by strictly adhering to the practice of “holding it in.”
You should also consider wearing additional pairs of underwear for an increased sense of protectiveness.

If I'm ever arrested and tried, my plea will be "Missing Context."

So "She deserved it!!" isn't a viable defense?? No one told me!!
--Scott Peterson, probably
Impeccable logic, sir!
Those "fact-checkers" are probably the wife beaters you saw in the old days, on parole and doing what they're told.
You're logic is "missing context." Plus you got it wrong. It's the other way around, wife beaters Are the fact checkers.
"Wife beaters" from a public defender is exactly why the problem is where it is.
Twat.
It would seem that if the context was something like, "she was coming at me with a knife", then it SHOULD be a defense. Should I take it that the "context" in your comment never actually reached that level, or is the legal system in your area broken when it comes to domestic violence?
That can happen and that would be a legitimate defense.
Absolutely!
You might also try "Let's not talk about blame."
😝😝🤣👍
A ‘perfect plea’ !

Smart teacher… 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Too bad other adults can’t seem to get it… 🤦🏽♀️
Apparently the ‘scientists’ didn’t perform this test.
Funniest is he tells the kids all the time “I trust science, it’s the scientists I don’t always trust.” 😂
Wow. I really like that
How did she not lose her job, for going against the RightThink responses?
It’s a he, and because the school is still rooted in objective reality.

It is their sciency way of saying "nuh uhhahhh".
If you have to explain a joke to someone, you will waste your time as the mental material you will be working with is too low grade.
The 'missing context' surely applies to the blather about 'fact checkers'
Do they mean that one's underwear CAN stop a bottom burp?
I've said this MANY times... drawers and pants can't stop a fart molecule, which is orders of magnitude larger than a SARS-CoV-2 virion, but a mask will??? Critical thinking is in very short supply.
When I fly, I wish the people would triple mask their ass. Nothing so rude as a push on a plane!
Don't give them any bright ideas. Otherwise Pfizer will hit us with a mandatory Pfartbegone vaccine next Spring.
LOL. LOL. Safe and effective? I’m married to a champion pfarter. After 55 years— I no doubt need a major detox. MANY boosters of that jab.
My husband went on the carnivore diet. Not. One. Fart.
True. Good for him. I’ve been Keto for years. Very quiet digestive system. I am eating mostly animal products. But need some salads and such.
Keto is carbless, right? Or mostly. But veggies, veggies goooood.
I have had similar experiences. Very little in the way of flatulence unless I've eaten something carb-heavy...
Plus, he probably ate lots of cattle which would otherwise have been in a field somewhere, farting like it just didn't matter.

I hope you don't have to wash his shorts or clean his poop freckles off the toilet!...:}
Yikes! We have separate bathrooms thank god. Sometimes a big house has extra special safe and effective side effects.
LOL
oooohhhh...'poop freckles'...now that's one i've never heard before!
so yucky....argh
POOP FRECKLES!!! Oh. My. Dog.

Are you serious?! I have golden retriever! I shit you not
Every 9 months! Just like Canada
'Pfartbegone'....bahahahahaaa!
You so silly! I have to love you for that. ^_^
can’t help it…the fart humour brings out the 6 year old in me 😆
You're on fire!
N95 underwear to therescue
Thanks for the guffaws. I needed that. 😹
Things that make me leap out of bed faster than a leg cramp: Dh emits an SBD under the covers, waits for the reaction, smirks, and murmurs, “You realize farts are particles of the real thing …” 😲😲😲
Sounds very familiar to me. But that final detail —-TMI. LOL. 🤪😵💫😸
Dh is Eeee Villlll...
Get him a dog that likes vienna sausages...
LOL
O geez!
Ewwww 🤢🤢🤢💩💩💩
If I was sitting next to or in close proximity to a Ken or Karen, I’d let rip 🤣
and, then innocently ask, 'oh, i'm sorry, is your mask not working properly?' when their discomfort becomes evident.
🤣
In the alternative, “o, I’m so sorry! If you can smell this thru your so-protective mask, you cannot be protected from the much smaller viral particles” (or whatever the virus is), said w/ a smirk
Outstanding! Maybe fly with limburger cheese. Nah, maybe not, that would distress everyone
You guys are funny!
Oh my stomach 🤣🤣🤣
with a mask scented as 'new car smell'...hehe.
LOL!!!!!!!!!! So THAT's why I see all these people driving around alone, masked...
Choking...
Almost spit out my Ritz cracker. Thanks for the laugh, it is needed.
The only thing that doesn't stay in Vegas.
lmao John!
Touché

Yep. Also, if you walk by one of those designated smoking areas while wearing a mask and can smell the cigarettes, the mask does not work.

compared to the size of a 150nm covid virion, the weave in a mask is like trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence.
Oh, no doubt. My observation was that Lilith's Twitter post was pretty much destined to be pooh pooed by the Twiterati, conflating gas molecule size with virion size, as it seemed to do.
Thumbs up for "pooh pooed". That's the spirit!

Isn't it called a "surprise"?
As in a surprise is a fart with a lump in it.
:)
Given that neither the mask nor the pants is close-fitting enough to stop 'blowby', the argument seems specious.
It could be pointed out that a mask stops you sneezing directly in someone's face, while the underwear stops you.... [well, you can imagine]
"I don't wear my underpants for me, I wear them for you."

Do your part to save granny. And the climate.
Awesome! LMAO!
‘Control briefs’ are the only effective underwear. The clue’s in the name!
Laughing Hysterically!
That's very funny!
Ha!!!! Love it!
I think the missing context is "IF YOU BELIEVE THIS YOU ARE A MORON"
Do you think they'll shart their pants once they figure out they've been blinded by the Fast Moving Science?
With apologies to Thomas Dolby, I smell a new hit single here: "Xi Blinded Me With Science"
That was brilliant. Are we really 2 1/2 years into this but no one has made that joke before?
Maybe they were all waiting for Ryan Gardner's perfect setup?

😂 love it, made me think of this movie
https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a40312483/spiderhead-netflix-soundtrack-songs/
That darn 'malinformation' always needs 'additional context', unlike the narrative, which can safely be taken at face value.
Perhaps we can arrange a sequel experiment that juxtaposes the Wuhan outbreak with Event 201, along the lines of "Whoever smelt it, dealt it."
It's all sequela of the stupidity.
Well done to Lilith. Perhaps more for the Ridicule 'em to Death Samizdat Lamppost Campaign?
Perhaps Ms. Lilith could reword the post: "This can hold sh*t" and "So does this."
Breathlessly awaiting scent-sational commentary from Amber Heard and the MePoo Movement.
😂
omigosh
tobacco smoke is the same size as the virus. Put on your mask and walk into a cigar shop and tell me if you can smell cigars. Mask does not work.
Here are two Marines testing masks against bear spray which is the same size.
https://youtu.be/17FaG7mLEvo
Great video… but I feel sorry for the marine that had to breathe through all the spray… 😱😵😵
Brings new meaning to "Passing the smell test"!
This just in..boxer briefs offer significantly better protection from farts than tighty whiteys. Please be considerate, your underpants protect me.
But can the mask stop everyone from the "fallout" of flatulence?
I will miss the CobraCommader look-I was a GI Joe fan when I was young.
Will the next generation of masks be more effective for those that demand them, ie something that will disallow other from hearing them speak?
Two days with out a Google alert on "Fauci" must mean CaptainTrips has been reassigned.
Trash Can Man will use that to blow shit up!
hahaha. you're probably my age too! funny
Me too! About a year ago. Still a great novel.
I've seen some similar memes/postings.............. yaknow, the covid-masks don't stop farts either....... just sayin'
These twitter fact checkers missed their calling and timing in life by not being on the jury at the Salem Witch trials.
