Contracting toxoplasmosis from cats will make you a fearless 'Berserker' warrior

45% of the population has this parasite called toxoplasmosis that comes from cat feces... it makes mice not fear predators so they just wander on and then the cats eat it... I want to be fearless. The Berserker cult has to contract toxoplasmosis and we'll all just be fearless Berserker warriors... when I contract toxoplasmosis, I will be an absolute fearless warrior and it will be sick.

While toxoplasmosis is linked to behavioral changes in rodents and some studies suggest links to risk-taking in humans, intentionally contracting a parasite for 'warrior' traits is medically ill-advised and doesn't function as a superpower.

The 'giant baby' on the internet should be put on a steroid and protein schedule to become an NFL left tackle

I want to find that baby and start putting creatine and whey protein in its formula and then make it like an All-Pro left tackle... It's child abuse to not be abusing his childhood putting it to work... he needs to be put on schedule now where he's not going to you know where else we can put this giant.

This is a satirical/absurd proposal that is not meant to be a verifiable claim.

Donating blood and platelets frequently is like an oil change for the body

I like the idea of donating my blood more frequently because it's like a car oil change, right? Yeah, like if my body if I'm walking around with old blood then I'm going to act sluggish. It's not going to be as efficient. But if I give a bunch of my blood, the new blood's better.

While the body does regenerate blood after donation, medical professionals do not compare it to an 'oil change' for efficiency and warn against donating too frequently.
