sorry guy… something might explode in a bad way if it doesn’t explode in a good way every morning.

A little bit of Bolsonaroxplain:
Bolsonaro’s only response to it so far has been to fire the minister who oversaw the report’s production.
Well, actually the enviroment minister is ok, alive and pretty happy. The director of the space research institute was the guy who brought the bad news and thus, he was fired.

Do they do that think in Brazil where they don’t flush TP? I travelled to Mexico and that was the weirdest thing to get used to. You kinda gotta take out the trash more than once a day in that scenario. I’m sure it leads to a ton of excessive plastic waste with all those bags.

Not for one person it’s not.
When the issue is current and systemic there have to be big changes quickly to fix it as well as small changes over time to fix what causes the issue in the first place.
s But at least he’s not suggesting we outlaw cows like that Ocasio-Cortez. /s

I expect el presidente will be setting an example and only eating every other day as of now.
All Brazilian journalists at his briefings should agree that the first question EVERY DAY is “did the president have anything to eat yesterday and if so will he be fasting today?”

Sounds like he just dictated his future prison meal schedule.

Perhaps Bolsonaro preaches what he already practices–which might explain why he’s so often full of shit.

Say what you will about the man, but he’s got god-level bowel control.

Bolsonaro doesn’t poop, he sheds.

It’s not merely a cultural thing, TP clogs the hell out of pipes in Brazil. It’s structural. Sanitary systems are built this way and it’s impossible to break the entire ground to change it at this point.
My personal choice is using water (a bidet or Japanese bidet) because TP actually cleans less and pollutes more.

For a while there he was using a colostomy bag so technically his bowel control is anything but.

Alternate take:
This is a dumb talking point, but pooping less often can be a sign of consuming less calories.
Thus consuming less food (and the repurcussions thereof, better health, less carbon footprint, etc.) may be a noble goal.

A president doesn’t get to say this when millions of people in his country are still dying of malnutrition. It’s beyond the pale.
The country made wide strides to guarantee the decline of child mortality rates with social programs, but there are people dying of malnutrition to this very day.
This is a thanatocracy, he’s governing to kill anyone that is deemed “less than” within his subjects. Old people, poor people, sick people, inmates, trans people, black people, migrant people… It’s chillingly like what happened about 100 years ago in some parts of the world.

Bolsonaro leads by example and only goes every third day himself.
It is the only explanation.
How else could he be so incredibly full of shit.
