I wish we'd stop writing "news" articles about reddit posts. There's no proof anywhere that this is truthful, and no, pictures don't lend credence. I have a gpu box right now I can put rocks in for sensationalism.
also the rocks weigh way more than a gpu, so the ups or post office would have a record of that
Hey you're me
if we combine forces… stuff
What would you accept as proof then? Because to me it sounds like this logic implies nothing can be proven at all, ever.
Ah yeah, the old "a picture isn't enough proof so they think everything is false" argument.
You'd make a great lawyer.
My point was taking a picture of a box of rocks doesn't prove the rocks were there before you opened the box. And if you disagree, explain your reasoning.
Those rocks don't look igneous to me, so they have most likely been there for millions, if not billions of years before they opened the box
A billion year old rock inside a months-old box? #ooparts
This type of thing needs to be investigated in the real world. A picture and a reddit post won't crack the case lol
