The part I don’t get is that there are so many cool, real conspiracies out there to be explored
They don’t have as large a marketing budget.
But how are you going to feel smarter than everyone else, if everyone gets convinced by your conspiracy theory?
This is so Carl Sagan.
And so we got to talking. But not, as it turned out, about science. He wanted to talk about frozen extraterrestrials languishing in an Air Force base near San Antonio, “channeling” (a way to hear what’s on the minds of dead people—not much, it turns out), crystals, the prophecies of Nostradamus, astrology, the shroud of Turin … He introduced each portentous subject with buoyant enthusiasm. Each time I had to disappoint him: “The evidence is crummy,” I kept saying. “There’s a much simpler explanation.”
…
And yet there’s so much in real science that’s equally exciting, more mysterious, a greater intellectual challenge—as well as being a lot closer to the truth. Did he know about the molecular building blocks of life sitting out there in the cold, tenuous gas between the stars? Had he heard of the footprints of our ancestors found in 4-million-year-old volcanic ash? What about the raising of the Himalayas when India went crashing into Asia? Or how viruses, built like hypodermic syringes, slip their DNA past the host organism’s defenses and subvert the reproductive machinery of cells; or the radio search for extraterrestrial intelligence; or the newly discovered ancient civilization of Ebla that advertised the virtues of Ebla beer? No, he hadn’t heard. Nor did he know, even vaguely, about quantum indeterminacy, and he recognized DNA only as three frequently linked capital letters.
And that’s just science; think of all the actual conspiracies that actually happened. MKULTRA is perfect conspiracy theorist material and actually real, but that second part means it’s boring
Mkultra is almost always used to justify all conspiracies, as if the government can do that, there is no limit to what they can do. That and the tuskegee experiments, the main reason black antivaxxers are likely to hold their beliefs.
A candle in the dark?
Yeah, chapter 1 page 2 actually haha but the whole book is good.
Any time you have information about the market that everyone else doesn’t have, that should be a money making opportunity.
Bro. Ppl gonna see this and be like “THAT’S RIGHT!”
Better to identify them. ;)
Oh, don’t you worry, they’ll identify themselves for you without any additional encouragement.
NO I WON’T!!

This sounds like a rage troll.
Its satire…
It just sounds sarcastic to me.
HAARPposting: First as farce, then as tragedy
Yea HAARP. Back in highschool I used to be all about schizo posting about HAARP changing the weather. And then it got donated to Alaska something or other and I shut up real quick. LMAO
Know what’s real? Stupid pointless troll posts.
Yeah see, I’m not sure if he’s serious or not
Thank god I can’t see that that says bullshit… oh wait
Oh fuck you just corrupted the fuck out of me. What in actual fuck is wrong with you, writing that on the Internet where people can read it?
Well damn, terribly sorry, I’ve been a real fucking ass hat towards you all, allow me to apologize like the bastard I am
I really (don’t) enjoy that this is what needs censoring about this post, to get popular social media to spread it around.
to the Maker of all GloboHomos:-)
This is an actual term apparently in common circulation, though homophobia wasn’t even its original intent: https://glaad.org/globohomo-definition-meaning-anti-lgbt-online-hate/
Emerging in 2016, this multi-purpose, right-wing troll invention combines homophobia and anti-Semitism. Researcher David Futrelle’s well-known misogyny tracking site We Hunted The Mammoth offers this summary: “Ostensibly, ‘globohomo’ is short for ‘global homogenization,’ an alleged vast conspiracy to destroy ‘traditional’ culture and values and replace them with a sort of global (naturally) corporate uniculture. But it’s rarely used in this way, at least not exactly. For those who’ve seized upon the term, ‘globo’ means ‘globalist’ and therefore Jews; while ‘homo’ (the suffix) means, well, ‘homo’ (the slur). (Some, evidently worried that ‘globohomo’ isn’t gay-sounding enough, add ‘gayplex’ to it — ‘globohomogayplex.’).” According to the Online Hate Research and Education Project, white nationalists and other hate movements use “globohomo” to allege the existence of a global plot to promote the so-called ‘‘LGBTQ+ agenda,” a similarly minded conspiracy theory (promoted by certain sectors of the Christian religious right) alleging that LGBTQ people aim to surpass the rights of other groups and “groom youth into identifying as part of the community.”
Those evil leftists always pushing… checks notes corporate culture!
I thought globohomo was an alternate name for corporate Memphis?
and how do you think they arrived there? They think large corporations that have to toe the line with HR are using it.
Corporations : globo
HR : homo.
NB : I do not agree with these views, I merely understand what the views are and I am trying to educate mr kralk
I found a good use for AI:
Undo bad language censoring in meme screen shots.
For most of these you don’t need AI, just basic Photoshop skills.
Yes, but most people dont have that or take way too long than is worth in effort and (lack of) enjoyability for a simple meme. There already exist models to unblur entire images in seconds. AI should take the shitty work lol.
Man this shit infuriates me to no end. Why?!
Americans are scared of profanity.
And the globohomos
The Profane Globohomos.
Has a nice ring to it.
Name of my next band
Or a basketball team.
Fucking tiktok trained them like dogs.
You can’t be popular on that platform unless you self censor.
What really gets me is the self censoring outside of that platform, I refuse “unaliving” is simply too many syllables to ever make sense to me in normal conversation.
“Technically a hurricane machine would cause weather change not climate change.”
Funny how they never get the message that maybe GOD IS PISSED at them.
Nooo it’s all ‘this is because of the gays!!’ The fabulous gays of homophobe town is why it got flattened? Sure kevin
God couldn’t possibly be mad at them. Despite doing the opposite of many things Jesus taught, they must be right. The man on the big stage at the hundred-million dollar church told them so.
He’s partly right. We wanted to just punish cyber truck owners, but couldn’t only target them and decided the first two groups were acceptable sacrifices.
I thought tesla was already taking care of that.
I remember when they were sent by god to punish the gays, but now I find out it was sneaky Kamala all along!
Does this mean that my insurance company won’t consider them acts of god anymore and will actually cover them?
I bet she killed sparky too!
🤣
I wish I could be this confident about anything
