anything qanon related will make your brain implode faster than a carbon fiber pressure hull at 12k feet.

edit: this is not a good thing

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I'm all for conspiracies and many have been proven true over time. Q is a whole different world.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I want the return of fun conspiracy theories.

Bigfoot. Aliens. Secret government weapon projects.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That would be nice.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Actually few have been proven true.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Government surveillance and things like Iran-Contra and MK Ultra are what I'm meaning.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Those were not exactly conspiracy theories. They were investigated and proven. They were illegal from the start.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Before they were proven they would have been regarded as conspiracy theories.

Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK, his head just kind of did that sometimes.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Please elaborate. I'm veeeeery interested.

Me too. WE DEMAND ANSWERS!

Tor. A serious study of as many .onion sites as I could find. There are many reasons why people want to be anonymous. I don't know why, I just felt compelled to look at the edges of humanity.

Back in the early 2000s, I heard tell of Freenet, thought it sounded like a cool project, and started poking around there. I soon determined that a lot of the material being exchanged there was not anything I wanted anywhere near my disk, even encrypted. Deleted it pretty darn quick.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

this would actually be pretty interesting. any details?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Drug dealers, arms dealers, hit men, conspiracy theorists with apparent mental health issues, child porn. I was at least somewhat amused until the last, then it was like, "Yeah no, I'm done with this" All you need is a copy of TAILS.

Are you talking about Hannah Montana Linux, Ubuntu Satanic Edition, or Justin Bieber Linux?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Don't forget Red Star Linux!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

After those, the only logical destination is TempleOS

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Tulpas. People basically intentionally making themselves schizophrenic

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

There's way more to schizophrenia than just seeing something that's not there, though.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Look up, you'll see the point as it passes by

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

And what, prey tell, is the point? I don't get it, but it's harmless, so mostly I just saw judgement in the OP.

In trying to prove to a friend that fluoride in the water wasn't bad, I had to dig into the conspiracy to refute each point.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Did your research end up changing your friend's mind?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Not OP, but take a wild guess

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

He did conceded on some the absolutely bat shit claims but couldn't bring himself to fully believe the fluoride shouldn't be in the water.

Sorry this was a long time ago. The guy has definitely mellowed some since though he did have a brief Stephen Crowder stint during the pandemic. Old habits die hard.

One time I had a weird skin thing and was trying to look up whether I should be worried about it, and stumbled onto a bunch of shit about Morgellons Disease, in which people think they have fibers or parasites growing out of their skin.

I just had a weird ingrown hair.

I can't recall the creepiest, so here's a kinda eerie website I found called Terminal 00:

https://www(dot)angusnicneven(dot)com

It's not necessarily super disturbing, but it has a design that is a bit eerie and trippy, to me at least.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I had head phones and as soon as I read "I will make you listen" and noticed there was a lot to scroll down to, I closed the page. Eff that lol

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

I didn't even know this site had sound!

That makes it even eerier and I love it!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I didn't stick around long enough to find out lol

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Anytime you feel sick and google the symptoms...

[-] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Start to program.
