The Truth

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.
"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.
- "Taking" blood does give it another extra sinister tinge over what's actually happening.
- 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.
- the universe is expanding at an increasing rate, we're just feeling the acceleration.
  
  oh no maybe I shouldn't give them any ideas
- 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.
- Interestingly, General Relativity shows that gravity is equivalent to the surface of the earth constantly accelerating upward, even on our lovely globe.
  
  floatheadphysics on YT does a great job explaining
- 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?

The “HUP” is great

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

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
