Immune system: I'm not here to keep you alive. I'm here to kill infections.

The memers are in rare form in this thread.

The virus after you take Tylenol

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 61 points 5 months ago

My immune system this weekend: also, we have to eject everything from your body any way possible.

Me: …

My immune system: hope you didn’t eat spicy.

99% of the time, a fever kills the bacteria then lowers. You'll be fine, go take a nap.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 33 points 5 months ago

I look at this more like "you'll die before I do, you bastards!"

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 32 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Ok, but I can't survive above 38.C for very long as well

I had a fever over 38 °C for a couple weeks once. It was fine, just hot.

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 5 months ago

You're still hot to me <3

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 months ago

also still fine

[-] essteeyou@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Still got a fever, too.

The way the text and image in this specific meme are utilized in the same context as the original source of the meme is refreshing. I feel like I see this meme template used in weird ways that kinda-work-but-not-really more than other templates.

Anyway, good quality well made meme, got me laugh

[-] Deebster@programming.dev 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Agreed - I think part of the humour in a meme is fitting new situations into the format and when this is ignored (or done poorly) it misses the mark, kinda like as if you'd attempted a limerick but got the meter all wrong.

TIL the reason for high temperature

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Most infections can survive the minor temperature rise. The more tangible reason is that the rise in temperature signals phagocytes that it's dinner time. Also it helps mobilizing white blood cells and increases the production of T-cells.
