The Fortean/paranormal/conspiracy thread

Sometimes I'm glad that the human race is doomed

UK Kat von D is trolling us, right?

Had a few drinks at dinner so I don't think I've approached this as deadpan as I usually do. My favourite thing right now is arguing flat earth theory, because it infuriates people so much and they can't conclusively prove something as obvious as the shape of the earth.

 

I've always loved a good conspiracy theory, but as I get older I'm finding myself drawn to the more batshit crazy ones for pure comedy value. Pretty sure I'm close to sending one of my mates on an expedition to the South Pole so he can prove me wrong. Hoping to have a gofundme set up for it sometime this month

If someone wants to believe something then you can never show them enough evidence.

 

I enjoy the odd conspiracy, but there has to be some slight possibility however small that its even worth considering seriously. Nemesis theory is a cracker

Von D, I've been meaning to drop you a message about seeing if you can do a space tattoo later this year. I'd cry if you started telling me the earth was flat.

I talk about it loads to my clients and sometimes make them watch videos on my iPad. It's amazing how many people are too polite to call me a nutcase

Funnily enough, those answers are from the actual Flat Earth Society, who've been around forever, and were always generally suspected (or assumed) to be a tongue-in-cheek satire, along the lines of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Black People Love Us, existing solely to see if there was anyone stupid enough to believe them. Now it seems like enough people took them seriously that it's back to being an actual thing again. Or maybe it always was, and the assumption it was a parody was wrong.

 

On that note, here's former porn star Asia Carrera in a mugshot after a drink driving arrest wearing a colander on her head.

Not many people will argue with a guy who is drilling ink into their skin, much like I won't argue with the barber or dentist.

Holy shit that is amazing. When I actually get round to making a website I'm gonna use that

Got the Neil deGrasse Tyson podcast on with Joe Rogan and they're discussing flat earthers. Starts around the 10 minute mark if anyone wants to listen. If you don't know NdT, he reminds me of space's answer to Paul Heyman in how he talks and comes across these days. Always entertaining and very knowledgeable.

The Guardian can have some laughable/eyeroll worthy opinion piece headlines, but you're having that Metro is better?

[Briefcase]

All this fascinates me, especially the whole NASA hiding whats going on in space (if there is such a thing), moon landings that may not have happened etc. 

 

Also all those UFO sightings and programmes decades ago but you hardly see anything these days when everybody has a camera phone, so was every single thing a hoax back then or if UFOS are to be believed have they advanced with us and are wise to it? 

 

This is all hypothetical by the way. I didn't even know that all images of the earth/space were artist impressions.
