People on the first page were surprised that rock hyraxes are related to elephants? I learned that shit from Kratts' Creatures when I was a little kid, and surprised my dad by being all precocious and telling him about how hyraxes have "elongated incisors" just like elephants...

Thanks, CIA.
lololol
I know, joke.



Joke.



I'm really not getting why this went down so poorly.



Yeah, really confused.

ISIS claims it exists to fight Western imperialism, it was supposed to be a joke about how anachronistic and idiotic some of their philosophical actions are. Like, the idea of basic hygiene being some kind of western corruption instead of a universally recognized wellness practice.

People don't usually get jokes if you have to take like 7 random leaps at logical switchboard junctions to physics factorial Dan Marjorle vector field Jamiroquai.

It took you that long? I learned it before I was born. When I existed only in hyperdimensional Mormon space.

Are you saying "Nope" to "Do not google image search leishmaniasis?" Or in other words, are you saying "DO google image search leishmaniasis?"


Or did you not follow the advice? If so, WHY DIDN'T YOU FOLLOW THE ADVICE?
 
I used to (along with my advisor and some members of my lab) study treatment methods for leishmaniasis. We published a few peer-reviewed papers with our findings, so, I've spent a lot of time considering leishmaniasis and have a good understanding of its potential severity. Current treatment methods for it are expensive (especially for the developing nations which are often affected) and worse yet, resistance to current treatments are becoming commonplace.

No one knows about leishmaniasis though because it tends to only affect developing nations. It is (or was a few years ago at least) considered an classified as an orphaned disease by the World Health Oeganization because so few labs are working to develop treatments.

You should know that leishmaniasis kills thousands a year and leaves many more than that permanently scarred. Google it if you want to see the kind of scarring I'm referring to... And those are the lucky ones that only had cutaneous leishmaniasis and didn't die to visceral leishmaniasis.

Had an interesting discussion with a friend regarding this; if we'd go in there to help everyone, therefore helping ISIS along with the civilians, or leave them all.
