I like the parking meter at the edge of the world.
Don’t forget the trash can in the background. Don’t want litter in space.
The litter is what awakens Lord Cthulhu.
“Can a cosmic horror not even slumber for a mere ten millennia before the ants turn my room into a dump?!”
The real reason the government and NASA lies about the edge of the earth. They don’t want Lord Cthulhu to awaken and overthrow the lizard people.
“Parking Meter at the Edge of the World”
That was a Douglas Adams book.
lol the tail
And a forked tongue lmao
Mods, these two know too much!
I’ve never dissassociated more than when I heard my sweet grandmother tell me that Hillary was part of an evil cabal of witches who drink the blood of tortured babies for adrenochrome.
What frustrates me is that it’s not 100% insane, just 95%. There are Silicon Valley CEOs and others that regularly get transfusions of blood from younger, healthier people as a means of improving their own health. The New Yorker wrote about this and some other crazy life extension stuff happening in the Silicon Valley in 2017.
So no tortured babies or adrenochrome, but we do quite literally have people taking blood from the young in an attempt to extend their own lives.
Yeah I first heard about young blood transfusions in a podcast episode about Peter Thiel. He’s the closest thing to a real world vampire.
The best part about it is that it actually is detrimental to their health. More transfusions means a higher risk of transfusion reaction if you really need it.
Oh so it actually is a good thing. Just not for them.
“Taking” blood does give it another extra sinister tinge over what’s actually happening.
Fair enough, but I honestly find it ghoulish regardless of the surrounding terminology.
There are plenty of worse ways for people in good health to make money, and I understand the desire to improve one’s personal health and prolong life (assuming you have one you enjoy), but there’s just something I find deeply unsettling and intensely objectionable about it all.
Especially when there’s all these “adrenochrome” and “vampire” crazy conspiracies giving them air cover so to speak.
Edit: I think what bothers me is that if it does work, it’s restricted to the elite, and if it doesn’t then we’re negatively impacting the donor’s health for no reason.
Fair enough, but I honestly find it ghoulish regardless of the surrounding terminology.
Oh yeah, I mean, obviously, no contention there.
Does that work? I’m feeling old and tired.
What I never understood about this theory was: where do you fall down to? And if the moon is a sphere, why not the earth?
The flat earth is constantly accelerating “upwards”, which is what creates the equivalent of sane people gravity. So it’s not really falling over the edge as the Earth leaving you behind.
Thing is, even though that’s the one thing that would work*, they don’t believe that.
* Except you’d start seeing relativistic effects in short order.
It’s definitely one of the theories I’ve seen. Checking on The Flat Earth Society website I see it’s not their official position (but they acknowledge some groups do believe that). They don’t have a different theory though, just that “objects simply fall”.
Yes, that’s their belief. Does that mean that there is no gravity beyond earth? Also how does the sun work then? Do they believe we are geocentric, not heliocentric?
There’s just so much that doesn’t add up.
The sun and moon are tiny and relatively close. They rotate in circles above the surface at a constant distance (don’t ask why). From what I know they spend a lot more time “disproving” existing theories than finding new ones to explain their model.
The sun and moon are spherical flashlights? 🤣 Holy shit, that’s dumb.
Moon at the exact opposite position of Sun? Man, what did minecraft do to us /j
the universe is expanding at an increasing rate, we’re just feeling the acceleration.
oh no maybe I shouldn’t give them any ideas
Interestingly, General Relativity shows that gravity is equivalent to the surface of the earth constantly accelerating upward, even on our lovely globe.
Ludicrous speed: GO!
Just the earth is flat, everything else is sphere. That’s why there’s only life on earth
What does life have to do with spheres?
Try putting a cup of coffee on a table: It doesn’t fall off. Now try putting a cup of coffee on a basketball.
That’s why life can’t survive on spheres.
What ended up happening with all the QAnon nonsense? Did believers just forget about it? Moved on, had no self reflection, and voted for Trump again?
They grouped up in telegram chats and started sending bomb threats to elementary schools
The “HUP” is great
so many real (and much more interesting) conspiracies out there. i dont get why people gotta come up with these…
Most conspiracy theories are either stuff the CIA actually did, or antisemitism.
reading this slightly baked and I got confused why plugging in an HDMI cable had to do with babies
I can move my eyes without moving my eyes
