A three-panel comic strip. In the first panel, a man in a suit (Alex Jones) is sitting at a desk with a banner behind him that says “Info Wars”. Offscreen, someone says “Cut!! That’s a wrap for today!”

In the second panel, “later”, Jones asks a green frog washing dishes “Everything ok, babe?”

In the third panel, the frog cries and demands “How long do we have to hide who we are??”

Pesticide atrazine can turn male frogs into females

Atrazine, one of the world’s most widely used pesticides, wreaks havoc with the sex lives of adult male frogs, emasculating three-quarters of them and turning one in 10 into females, according to a new study by University of California, Berkeley, biologists.

The 75 percent that are chemically castrated are essentially “dead” because of their inability to reproduce in the wild, reports UC Berkeley’s Tyrone B. Hayes, professor of integrative biology.

    Thanks for sharing the “Frog Truth”, OP. Of all the insane things AJ has said over the years, I always found it funny that this seemingly deranged claim was actually the one that had a kernel of truth to it.

      Heh yeah he really bungled it (for dramatic effect presumably) but it’s surprising it wasn’t purely sourced from like:

      Have to wonder if he was paid to make it sound insane to take all the air out of the studies.
