So does this mean if we start getting the most idiotic and annoying commercials, it means everything's going just fine?

[@alexanderdragonheart2036]

Good question ? It’s possible, since I imagine stupid commercials are cheap and easy to make by comparison and not to much work has to be done, so the people behind the scenes are like “No need to start anything shady, it’s not that deep and we’re not gonna be here that long.”

The Roundup one got me. Safe around kids and pets. ☠️

[@michaelm7299]

The guy with his head underground says the product 'kills the roots', and sure enough, glyphosate attacks the brain and nervous system. They must have known from tests on animals

[@wildbill6976]

it's no where near as bad as people make it out to be; sure, if you drink pure glyphosate, it is; but as watered down as it is for consumer usage, it's no more toxic than inhaling bleach or ammonia...

[@renakunisaki]

Ahh yes, nice tasty bleach 💀

​@@wildbill6976roundup killed several dogs of my best friend's because her mother used Roundup and let them be around it. You don't know until you've seen it for yourself I guess
