    Trump has a recent campaign video with spit flying out of his mouth and foam all over his lip. I’ll actually be relieved if that turns out to be an edit because it’s so gross it made me shrink away from my phone…

        … if wikipedia is to be believed, once the symptoms show up it’s incurable and usually fatal.

          There’s only been a handful of survivors ever. Near total fatality rate

            As a bonus, there is a vaccine. The problem is that you lose the benefits so fast that they only give it to you after you’ve been bitten, during the narrow window between contamination and infection. Just the time it takes to get to the hospital can easily be long enough to put you into the untreatable phase.

              Depends on how severe a bite is and where it happens! Deep and high up? You need the vaccine quickly. Minor scratch on your hand? It can wait a week

    Man, the edited video is just extending a few frames and letting it go on longer than the actual video. Yeah, Biden goes to sit down first, and is doing a little squat while the person is welcomed to the stage, but the video on Reddit’s Conservative subreddit is just cut right at the point he sits down and the last few frames are extended a bit.

    But you know I’m going to give them benefit of the doubt (I know, I’m going to hear it from you all). They saw something on Xitter, ran with it before fact checking, and now they have egg on face. Happens to the best of us sometimes. But in the age of AI, all of us are going to need to be on our toes about things. This is just a simple edit on a video clip, AI going to allow us to straight up do all kinds of crazy shit.

    We’re all in this together and there’s a ton of NOT AMERICANS that want us at each other’s throat. We are either going to help each other get through AI or we’re all going to be falling for made up shit.

    I bet a majority has misjudged sitting in the past, why would this even be a lie worth spreading?
