I love deeply online pseudohistory. I understand perfectly how awful it can be and that it is objectively bad for the public and for professional historians and archeologists just trying to do their job but holy shit is it so funny. Real history is something I am deeply passionate about, especially the history of antiquity so you'd think I hated this stuff and to some extent I do but on the other hand... the shit they come up with is so entertaining. They are so horrifically wrong that it can be belly laugh inducing. Please keep searching for atlantis, its been 3000 years but you, mr youtube man, it will be you, the chosen one, who will find it for sure. Yes, the world globalist cabal IS hiding antlantis from us, keep searching I am begging you. The Free Masons ARE coming for you if you find it though, it is so over. Admittedly, the eye of rhe sahara is a really neat geological feature.

Thanks, Joe Rogan. Thanks, Plato

every scientist loves cranks in a similar manner. it's really entertaining to see what they've cooked up. terryology is a gem for example

The number of computer problems I have fixed by standing there watching while they try it again

I just tell people the computers are scared of me (really it's just Windows being unreliable garbage)

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

Windows is indeed unreliable garbage, but I've experienced this across Windows, Mac OS 9 and 10, Android, and iOS. My theory is that they slow down and take a little more care when I'm standing there watching.
