Thanks for the title, I think I’d never got it otherwise
This sounds like sarcasm, but the joke legitimately didn’t click for me until I scanned the title again.
Fuck gawd damn, I don’t know who I’m angrier at more: myself or the joke writer.
The humor lies in the dual meaning of the horticultural labor task and the selective bias fallacy having the same idiomatic phrase of “cherry picking”. And that is all there is to the humor.
Right?
I thought it was because they were all dying and fertilizing the soil with their corpses.
If you don’t get the Jo try this:
Citing extensive experience, anti-vaxers are hired by cherry farm as cherry pickers.
One such cherry picker was shown to pick cherries 340% faster than non-anti-vax pickers. The anti-vax cherry picking spokesman was heard to be explaining that this data proves anti-vaxers are the superior farm laborers, and expects the farm to see a correlation in overall productivity improvement across farms employing anti-vax cherry pickers.
I don’t get it. Could be because I was still asleep 20 minutes ago.
Anti vaxers cherry pick information to state their claims are correct. Therefore they’re super good at it
Ahhhhhhhhhh. That would make sense. My mind initially was asking if there was some form of an extract or essential oil that came from cherries that they claimed was a wonder anti drug.
I thought the death rate among antivaxers was so high that they provide regular fertilization for the trees.
Me either, but assuming it’s a real screenshot, the date is 2018. I didn’t do much digging, but 2018 saw an increase in cherry crops according to this source https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/usda-2018-cherry-crop-production-up-from-last-year.
An overall increase of 60% is pretty big! If this specific farm had an especially bad year in 2017, a 340% increase isn’t out of the question.
