If it were real facts we’d just call them facts.
If it were real medicine we’d just call it medicine.
If it were real news we’d just call it news.
I’m not saying this rule always works, just sometimes.
I think Tim Minchin, in his prime coined the saying: Alternative medicine is either:
- Medicine that has not been proven to work Or
- Medicine that has been proven not to work You know what they call alternative medicine that’s proven to work? “Medicine”
Came here to make the Minchin comparison.

Bullshit für Deutschland
yup it works
Is that the name of a political party?
Yeah the German far right one
Yeah a German far right one.
FTFY. Cause you know there was that other far right German party.
It is, it’s the far right party in Germany, with many of its members carrying sentences for incitement for racial hatred and public use of nazi quotes/symbols/gestures.
They currently have ~20% of the electorate on their side, and there’s an ongoing procedure to declare them illegal (as measures against the emergence of nationalistic movements were enshrined in the constitution post WW2)
We need to find an bullshit to fossil fuels and plastic bags. You can’t just ignore these problems, and listen to bullshit rock all day long.
Yep, that works perfectly.
Sometimes the word alternate should be replaced with the word bullshit
“Let me switch to my bullshit account for that”
Yup, I’m sold
Control bullshit delete
Has anybody ever actually unironically said “alternative facts”?
Kellyanne Conway, U.S. Counselor to the President, in 2017.
Seems like a decade ago and a month ago at the same time.
Are you calling Faith No More “bullshit metal” ? 😮
Maybe not Faith No More, but I think that’s an accurate genre tag for Mr. Bungle. In the most loving and respectful way, of course.
I’d say avantgarde metal for Mr. Bungle, they went through (and back to) so many genres, and they paved the way for so many bands
But obviously “avantgarde” can often be called bullshit (half kidding)
Well, to me it means “alternative to”, so you can either have medicine or the alternative (to medicine). Alternative to facts is bullshit, so that checks out.
me and my doppelganger
“Shoot him! I’m the real Kolanaki!”
Gets shot
“How did you know?”
“If they were the real Kolanaki, they would have just said Kolanaki.”
Alternative Right. Yup. That works.
Alternative energy sources. Hmm. Maybe not everything.
Alternative rock is fine.
In my language, ‘alternative’ is somewhat synonymous with ‘progressive’ (though we still have the bullshit meaning of ‘alternative facts’, ‘alternative medicine’). Is that not a thing in English, too? We rarely have an original thought when it comes to words like this.
“OK LOOK for the last time I am not Alternativating you!!!”
Similar things could be said about things like “real” and “official.”
Also the one I hate the most, Genuine®. That literally means it’s fake.
You’re right.
Also, add the word ‘faith’ to that list.
Linux the alternative os to Windows?
windows the bullshit os to linux
