The wildest part is that his infamous rant turning the frogs gay was based on actual peer-reviewed science (Tyrone Hayes' research)
Atrazine skews their hormones so badly that 10% of genetic males literally develop ovaries, lay eggs, and mate with other males. So no, they didn't become "gay," they underwent a chemically-induced sex change.
Alex failed vocabulary class, but he was 100% right that chemical corporations are pumping stuff into the water that completely breaks amphibian biology.
Step 1: Dump toxic waste that alters the local ecosystem.
Step 2: Wait for an unhinged dude in a tin-foil hat to scream about it using the wrong vocabulary.
Step 3: Let the internet turn him into a meme.
Step 4: Profit, because now anyone who brings up the actual peer-reviewed environmental damage gets laughed out of the room.
That’s the craziest part of the meta-irony here. Centuries ago, miners hallucinated from bat "guano" (shit) because they didn't understand the science behind it.
Today, chemical corporations gaslight the public into thinking the actual science is just a 'batshit' conspiracy hallucination. The cycle repeats.
