Scientists discover water is wet, after utilizing $500k taxpayer-backed grant
Which is definitely intended to enrage people who won’t do any further research, or read what the study is actually about, and will instead spread the misinformation and distrust of the scientific community

Everyone covered it as scientists giving fish cocaine to see what would happen.

I believe the biological term for this type of relationship is closer to “parasitic” than it is to mutualistic or symbiotic.
