I swear the only way to get ppl to take facts seriously is going to be by presenting them as conspiracies at this point

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 2 points 56 minutes ago

The democrats don't want you to know this, but a^2 + b^2 = c^2

[-] Tom742@hexbear.net 2 points 57 minutes ago

America (western culture in general?) is quite literally reverting to superstition based analysis, all vibes no critical reasoning.

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 15 points 13 hours ago

i saw that video of "balls of light transforming into airplaines". it's literally a plane coming at the camera head on, so it looks like a white light, then it turns, so it looks like the white light is transforming into a plane when it's so far away and some shitty phone camera is zoomed all the way in

as far as all the drones go, i don't know but that video is clearly not what all these people were freaking out about

[-] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 9 points 13 hours ago

Yeah, approaching planes with their landing lights on look like points of (relatively) stationary light when they're far away, but as they get closer the lights are angled away from your field of vision and are less intense, and it's obviously a plane.

I live near an airport and to this day I still mistake approaching planes for bright stars.

[-] Real_User@hexbear.net 21 points 14 hours ago

I just don't get how they're not tired of this. There's one of these at least once per year and every time The Big One never happens. You'd think that after a few times people would get sick of it and just tune out any future doomsdays but there's always an audience for the next one

[-] buh@hexbear.net 16 points 14 hours ago

it feels like they're desperately trying to relive the days of hysteria around Government Control during covid that swept up a lot of the less extreme conservatives

[-] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 3 points 5 hours ago

during covid that swept up a lot of the less extreme conservatives

it's funny because once the happenings actually started they insisted the disease was fake

we're gonna have actual fucking gray aliens abducting people in front of our eyes and they'll think the aliens are fake, and that instead the FBI sprayed LSD in the chemtrails to MKultra their entire neighborhood

[-] Tom742@hexbear.net 1 points 55 minutes ago

Do you think it’s just ingrained contrarianism that causes this? I’m always amazed when the narrative flips on a dime like that and all memories of the previous one seem to get erased to them.

[-] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 4 points 3 hours ago

The thing is I know quite a few conservatives (mostly family members and people I work with) who were initially scared about the news reports of covid deaths during January and February of 2020. Then Trump and RW media pundits made it clear what their stance on covid was, and they all fell in line saying it was fake or overblown.

These people are all told what to think.

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

And now liberals and even a few leftists are convinced covid is overblown and no measures are needed.

The orbs turn into planes because the camera actually focuses on them dumbass

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 39 points 17 hours ago

So this is all just a remake of those "ghost orb" photos which is just out of focus dust lol

[-] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 11 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Reminds me of when one of the local news channels in my city did a story about how viewers were blowing up the station's phone claiming to see a ghost moving about in view of the station's outdoor weather camera. They did some investigating and it turned out a spider had built its web across the camera's lens. The "ghost" was in fact the spider showing up as an out-of-focus grey blob moving across the camera view.

Is Charlie Kirk an insane conspiracist now? Didn’t he used to just be your run of the mill Shapiro type

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 20 points 16 hours ago

They all are like this

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 15 points 16 hours ago

I wonder if the Shapiro types just aren't that popular any more/are losing their billionaire funding and this is Kirk's attempt to pivot to a new audience, so to speak.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 16 points 15 hours ago

It does seem like the Shapiros are losing steam in favor of the Alex Jones type. The next most popular are gaming streamers like Asmongold who do dumb guy centrism and allow the right-wing to guide them in their direction

Pre-roll is not a term anyone in news uses

They’re preparing right up until Christmas Eve for that red menace, S Claus.

Does Erik ever break character as ironic Alex Jones? I'm not watching 20 minutes of that shit.

edit: I skipped ahead a bunch. He does not.

that is so wild some Amerikkkans are so detached from reality they don't know what stars look like anymore

Light pollution is awful, even in areas that are pretty rural sometimes. Stargazing is difficult outside of state parks and national forests where I’m from

[-] MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net 9 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Some are also just planes and helicopters with transponders off.

Was inevitable with modern smartphone cameras getting better zoom lenses. Now anyone can take a picture of these objects in the sky.

It's all just viral marketing for another independence day movie

It always comes from a "anonymous" "whistleblower" off fucking 4chan talking about underwater pyramids building UFOs and coming to abduct white people.

[-] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 23 points 17 hours ago

I have a VERY reliable anonymous source with definitive proof that the UFOs over New Jersey are actually just the Nintendo Switch 2. (I will post proof later, I promise.) /s

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 19 points 17 hours ago

Wait, your cousin works at Nintendo and totally told you the inside scoop, too?

[-] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 15 points 16 hours ago

Its actually my girlfriend's dad. My girlfriend lives in Canada, and she already has a PlayStation 7, and she lets me play with it every time I go to Canada.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 11 points 14 hours ago

You are the coolest kid for the next week and a half

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 17 points 17 hours ago

underwater pyramids building UFOs and coming to abduct white people.

With this kind of budget, this Stargate SG-1 reboot is gonna be off the chain
