      Are there handguns small enough to fit inside a Petri dish? Or do you just aim the handgun at the Petri dish? Does the handgun need to be loaded? If it must be loaded, will blanks suffice? Does a larger caliber reduce the time needed to aim the handgun at the Petri dish? Is there a specific distance to the dish from which one must aim the handgun? Are rifles, shotguns, and machine guns specifically excluded? Will a sword work? It’s generally made of the same kind of material as a handgun. Is it necessary to stand on a chair while wearing a lab coat while aiming the handgun? Can two hands be used to aim the handgun? Does engaging the handgun’s safety have any effect on the contents of the Petri dish?

      XKCD’s not being very helpful.

        If we just go around shooting cancer cells, we’ll end up with bullet-resistant super-cancers.

        Blank probably would work. Those can still kill at point blank

        I don’t know of any handguns small enough to fit into a petri dish. The handgun must be loaded and fired at the petri dish. A large caliber will be easier to aim since it would decrease the need for accuracy. Close range is a better distance. Shotguns and machine guns would do an even better job, rifles are fine. A sword decreases the likelihood of destroying a virus because of its low energy. Standing on a chair while wearing a lab coat makes you look cooler. Two hands can be used to aim the gun if it helps you. The handgun will not fire with the safety on, thus decreasing the probability of destroying the virus.

      Every experiment so far has shown that when you toss COVID patients into active volcanoes instead of using the standard treatment there’s a 99% reduction in deaths by COVID, but big pharma doesn’t want you to know that

        That 1% of patients was just earl, who died of covid on the ride up to the caldera. Shouldn’t really be counted.

      Has this been tested yet? … or have they already tested it and haven’t told anyone?

      I’m pretty sure this is the basis of Scientology – throwing the unvaccinated into volcanoes so they can become force ghosts.

    Technically a close-range gamma ray burst can kill coronavirus, but there’s a good reason no one is using it for that purpose: it’s a goddamned close-range gamma ray burst.

      Why are you still drinking it?.did you not shine a light up your bum? It should be one and done treatment, not ongoing. Do you even do your own research?

        My research confirms my hypothesis 100% of the time (if your doesn’t, you aint researching hard enough) and if 5g is still out there you should still drink the bleach.

    My sister’s baby’s daddy’s cousin’s roommate drank lava, and it cured his cancer. Then, he quit taking drugs. Why does Big Geology support cancer and drug addiction?
