So many people believe that Covid was a way to scare us all indoors, so they could change batteries in all the birds.
That's preposterous.
Birds use rechargeables, that's why they're always sitting on the power lines. Like, duh, wake up sheeple.

I once read a beautifully indisputable piece on how Jar Jar Binks is a highly skilled Sith Lord. It's all a front!
As memey as the whole theory is, I like to mention that George Lucas was influenced by a lot of classic scifi. He was almost certainly aware of the famous Foundation novels. In the second book, the comedy relief character turned out to be the secret villain leading the evil empire and who had mind control powers.
Scientology isn’t a religion or a cult-like one - at least not for the top tier.
It’s a doomsday cult disguised as a religion to be a tax dodge. Scientology has Gold Base and Trementina base among others, all bunkers. The famous people get money, tax free, donated to their “church”, and is used to fund doomsday bunkers.
I don't think this is too far out there but I haven't seen it around much. Epstein was a honeypot.
He got an absolutely disgusting sweetheart deal for his initial conviction resulting in him being released for 12 hours a day for work and a 13 month sentence. Now the attorney that cut that deal (illegally, mind you) was Alex Acosta. He was nominated for secretary of labor in 2017 and faced scrutiny for that deal, to which he said he was told epstein "belonged to intelligence" and to "leave it alone."
Supporting circumstamtial evidence includes ghislaine maxwells father having known connections to MI6, mossad, and the KGB, though he died in 1991 so that doesn't necessarily imply much. Additionally, the FBI has HARD FUCKING EVIDENCE including tapes which doubt less contain CSAM, yet nobody has actually been arrested as a result.
The issue is that this relies on taking Acosta at his word, and he's kind of a huge piece of shit. It could be possible that he was buddies with epstein and gave him a deal and covered up the evidence because he was involved too, and presumably enough powerful people in government were involved to keep everything quiet.
Sounds crazy when spelled out, but it's hard to imagine why else nothing would come of the mountains of evidence that probably followed the raids, or why epstein wasn't closely watched after his initial conviction.
depressingly plausible.
Tiktok is a Chinese psyop to turn the next generation of Americans into drooling idiots.
And it's working.
The fashion world is in a war on pockets, so they can sell more handbags. The fewer and smaller pockets we have, the more accessories we need to buy. First they came for women's pockets. Now they're trying to make cargo shorts unacceptable for the same reason.
r/cat was like that for a while. Imagine being the database admin being responsible for a billion iterations of the word cat.

content warnng: Magic The Gathering
facts: a couple of weeks ago the commander rules committee, the independent group that governs the popular Commander format, started receiving death threats after they banned some boring ass broken cards (jeweled lotus? dockside extortionist? nobody is ride or die for those)
as a result, the rules committee turned over control of the format to Wizards of the Coast / Hasbro, the makers of magic the gathering
fact: last year after some magic the gathering content was leaked, Hasbro send literal pinkertons to harasss the youtuber leaking it and recover the leaked goods
conspiracy theory: hasbro hired the pinkertons to make those death threats against the rules committee so that hasbro could seize control ove the most popular independent format of magic
I wanna say "nub uh" but the fact that they're getting death threats is really crazy. Like they changed the mulligan rule from partial Paris to the new one (Vancouver?) and basically everyone said "that's neat" and did partial Paris anyway. And over busted things like dockside? Goddamn there was barely an outcry over prophet of kruphix.
Sol ring ban I could see death threats. That's about it.
What the fuck
I want to know more
That all of Tom Cruise's movies ( and by extension any media created by ppl of the church) are propaganda for the church of scientology.
The world was created somewhen between 2012 and 2 weeks ago by everyone and everything ever called alien(that i know of)
From ancient egyptians, ancient dacians, to cats and Hitler were involved in the creation of the world
When windows has updated and needs to restart it purposefully gets a bit slower/buggy to make people restart the PC.
I completely believe this. If I let my Surface Pro go too long the facial recognition will stop working and the little white light at the top will not turn off. The only fix is to reboot and let it finish updating.
JD Vance was forced in as the Trump VP pick by the Heritage Foundation so that when Trump either dies or stops cooperating with them on Project 2025, they already have a man in place to take over. And that's likely the reason for the assassination attempts.
If Trump dies, they get Vance (a true believer...unlike Trump who just wants the power to stay out of prison) at the top of the ticket.

And we get some kind of Peter Theil libertarian theocracy.
Vance's flexibility to bend in any direction at any time is just.... he makes lindsey graham look principled.
Soda bottle caps for newer types of soda fit worse onto the bottles. They’re harder to re-thread on, for example, the new Oreo Coke than they are on the old Diet Coke.
The reason that newer bottle designs are harder to thread is that they’re trying to make people drop the cap, leading to just giving up on re-capping.
This is to reinforce the narrative that people lose their bottle caps.
Which is to lend support for the drive to make caps attached to a little ring on the bottle, like in Europe.
Or maybe it's to keep you from sealing your drink and having it later. No cap means you finish it or dump it so you have to buy another.
What would be the problem with bottle caps being attached to the bottle?
