        I can’t remember, was that just a “Fry dumb” thing, or was it related to his incestuous bootstrap lack of delta brainwave?

          I don’t think they ever said one way or the other. I just remember H̶e̶r̶m̶e̶s̶ Farnsworth says something like, “The poor little guy starved to death.”

          Edit: made a correction

          Fry dumb. You can pretend it’s more complicated if you want, but the joke is “Fry dumb”.

    “I’d quite like this parasite removed before it kills me” the worm was heard saying.

    The phrasing of “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died” implies that just a nibble of his brain was so toxic that it caused the parasitic worm to die. Hopefully RFK Jr. gets proper treatment and any lasting effects are healed. With a presidential race where the candidates’ mental faculties are such a point of contention, it seems like RFK Jr. will avoid much of the armchair doctors’ criticism despite his affliction because he’s not either of the two main candidates.

    Amy: Fry Bobby, what happened to your brain slug?

    Farnsworth: Tsk, tsk. The poor guy starved to death.

    What they’re not telling is the worm died of starvation. It was likely the preferable alternative.

    I’ve always low-key blamed Trump (and his minions) on lead poisoning - paint, exhaust from leaded gasoline, old pipes & so forth. I suppose there’s some portion that’s explained by inbreeding. But, I guess some portion of the phenomenon could also be explained by uncooked pork products…

      It’s that whole generation who grew up when cars were everywhere and so was lead. It was brief window where it was really bad.

      Lead exposure has a tiny threshold to cause mental impairment. And back then everyone was getting dosed. I mean, we still are. Just not as much.

      Which is another reason it’s crazy we’re still letting the most lead exposed generation run shit in their 80s.

      The effects of aging and lead exposure cause similar effects that stack with each other.

        We still had assholes before leaded petroleum and other pollutants that became widespread after the industrial revolution. Not every behaviour can be explained by environmental poisoning!
