Reply to comment by Jale89 in I just learned that the known shortest DNA in an “organism” is about 1700 base pairs in a certain virus. Is there a minimum amount of “code” required for an organism (or virus) to function in any capacity? by mcbergstedt

Is there a specific definition of "organism" that includes this requirement? Not trying to be snarky I'm genuinely curious. I always thought that "organism" just meant a unit of "life" which just requires the ability to reproduce, and doesn't include the mechanism.

I'm sure it's heavily edited to show only the worst examples, but yea, it's actual people that actually believe that.

Here's another example where the guy interviews people at a Trump rally post 2020 who are sure Trump is still president. Skip forward to 3:24 for my favorite bit, a guy who was (150000%) sure Trump was still in charge of the government and military and Biden was faking being president AND getting a brain lockup trying to figure out how the Afghanistan pullout was Biden not Trump's fault.
