Bill Gates could not hit a slow-pitch softball

Do you think Bill Gates could hit a slow pitch softball? No, that makes me feel good. No. ... Let me let me get a little fucking 10, 10 foot arch on his ass. He won't, he won't be able to hit that.

Inherently subjective and untestable without Bill Gates on a diamond, but likely based on general public perception of Gates' coordination.

90% of all koalas have chlamydia

Billy's fun facts: 90% of koalas have chlamydia. Anyway, like people who handle koalas at zoos sometimes catch chlamydia.

While 90% is on the high end of estimates, large populations of koalas in Australia are indeed infected with chlamydia, with some regions reaching nearly 100%.

The seeds from China are 'murder gourds' designed to destroy American pumpkins and cancel Halloween

He planted him seeds and a gourd pops out. Personally I think that the gourd was... going to try to harm American gourds with some sort of disease or murder gourds. And guess what's a very American gourd? Pumpkin... trying to cancel Halloween exactly. Wow, and guess what? That's Because no pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. Oh my gosh trickle down. Christmas gets ruined.

The seeds were later identified by the USDA as mostly common garden plants like mint, rosemary, and hibiscus, part of a 'brushing' scam, not a biological war on pumpkins.

You should definitely plant mystery seeds sent from China even if the government says not to

I saw the story over the weekend and I get the US government was saying do not plant seeds that come ship to you from China. Fuck that. If I get mystery seeds. The first thing I'm going to do is plant those.

The seeds turned out to be common herbs and flowers, not 'Golden Gooses' or 'Ticket Trees', but they were discouraged for being invasive.

Murder Hornets are not a threat to humans and people should be more worried about Africanized Bees

Murder Hornets are not a problem. The Africanized bees, on the other hand, have been killing more people per capita in the U.S. already... selfies are more dangerous than the murder hornets to the Chinese.

The Murder Hornet panic did eventually subside as they failed to establish a major presence in North America, and the annual death toll from hornets/wasps is relatively low compared to other risks.

My 'Crisis Fuel' supplement will provide enough energy and mass to survive 40 days in a wildfire or pandemic

I developed a proprietary blend... it's like 2,000 calories a punch. It's protein, carbs, good additive, cornstarch to it... if there's a wildfire approaching your house, screw the food, grab your 10-gallon bucket of Crisis Fuel which is all powder and a bunch of water, throwing your car, you have enough meals for 40 days.

PredictionLifeScorchingSarcastic
The product never launched, and surviving 40 days on a cornstarch-based powder and water is nutritionally questionable and medically dangerous.
