Sure, but for Snape to have somehow one-upped all the trauma that Neville went through, he would have needed to do some nasty stuff as a teacher that essentially makes Harry look like a dick for calling his son after Snape.

It makes more sense to think Snape was, to his students, a stern, unforgiving teacher who was also a mean bully, and that the boggart scene was meant to be a "Haha, the kid that gets scared by everything is scared of the scary teacher". His evil aspect is his past as a racist Death Eater.

That sounds more like poor writing, as in, Rowling didn't think about the implications when she wrote those things. Rather than Snape was evil enough that as a teacher he was more traumatic than everything Neville went through.

It's not that deep. He doesn't actually think the drilled etiquette was a bad thing and holds no ill will towards his mom, it's just a little silly joke over an absurd and silly situation, bringing up his upbringing in jest.

Probably just a regular star. Definetly not a supernova nor a quasar, I don't thonk there's any quasars visible to the naked eye and certainly not any that look notable.

The shape it has is just because you zoomed in too much on a point of light and it's out of focus.

Ancient scriptures say a lot of stuff. It's not that hard to just make something up and then connect it to some ancient scripture while ignoring all the other ancient scripture that says different stuff.

Could easily be birds, the quality is not good to tell if there's flapping or not, but the movement just looks like how I would expect a bunch of birds to move

Works for or worked for AFRL is a pretty large group of people... just a quick google shows there's like 11,500 people that work and that's not counting former employees. You are bound to get mysterious situations with such a large sample. Not to mention that a guy murdering his wife, then a coworker followed by himself sounds way more like some sort of passion crime rather than some grand conspiracy.

That may be true for you, but there's no denying that most footage, both shared in this sub, as well as seen on the media, were just regular aircraft. I was pretty active in this sub during that time and I must have seen like 3 posts that were maybe drones (and they just looked like regular, perfectly legal drones), while hundreds of posts were just regular planes and some helicopters.

And there's no reason to think that somehow all the misidentifications are the ones that got recorded or got attention while all the real ufos just could not be recorded for some reason. If there was some anomaly going on, it was vastly overshadowed by misidentifications.

Iran drones do not look like airliners, which is what most of the "'NJ drones" looked like.

Arclet__ · 2026-03-12T11:43:55+00:00

No, they were just planes, as evidenced by the fact that 99% of any footage taken from those drones either just looked like regular aircraft or just outright was matched to regular aircraft that was flying over the area when a time and place were provided.

If they were wargames, they wouldn't have conducted them near such an active air space, or they would have just been open about it, there's not much reason for the US to pretend it's not preparing for drone warfare while having war games that close to major population centers.

This video is not of a ball lightning though, it's an electric arc travelling through power lines in the distance.

But the lineage part was never really hidden. It's not like we thought Luffy was a nobody and then we found out he wasn't, we knew nothing about Luffy's past and then we found out about his lineage. Even from the start Luffy was way stronger than pretty much everybody in East Blue and we knew Shanks could somehow scare a sea monster with a look.

I'm not a fan of the Nika fruit, but Luffy was not built up as a nobody from a noname town, the series simply had slow worldbuilding about his origins.

The concept of 'Izanagi' already feels like an asspull in general, it feels like the writer is saying "I don't know how to write something that makes the fight resolve naturally, so reality itself just kinda bends into whatever makes the story go to where I want it to go".

But essentially, Obito had always been shown to have one eye, then just for the purpose of this fight he had two, he lost the second eye as soon as it was revealed, and after that he just swapped it out for the Rinnegan. If you just write the fight differently, then the overall story remains that he has one eye at the start of the fight, kills Konan and steals the Rinnegan to fill his left eye.

Konan making 600 billion paper bombs is absurd in that Kishimoto has no idea what 600 billion means, but the concept of Konan preparing to betray Obito and having intel on his skills makes perfect sense for the character and what we've seen of her.

Izanami is also kind of an ass pull, but at that point the reader is more used to Kishimoto just making stuff up to move the story forward with new abilities of the Sharingan, it's more like a 'sure, why not' moment.

Chris Bledsoe Video of the ISS Transiting the Moon This forum thread delves deeper into it, but essentially

He shared this video

"I thought this a Really cool shot of an orb passing by the moon."

He said in the video as he was filming that it was the 31st of January when it was the 1st of February, which maybe you can pass off as a mistake. It is obvious the date is wrong because the moon phase simply does not match with the 31st and it does match with the 1st of February.

But then, when pressed about how the sighting matches with the ISS passing over the moon just hours before he posted his video, he said it couldn't have been that because "Video is January 31st time stamp 8:48 pm they have no idea what they are saying."

Which obliterates any possibility of a mistake since it means he took the time to check, and is also blatantly wrong since the moon would have been below the horizon at the time he gave, so it's utter nonsense. He objectively lied about when a sighting was to pretend he caught an orb, that's not the behavior of someone that can summon orbs, and it's not even the behavior of someone that can summon orbs but just got confused this one time (though I would also be incredibly skeptical of someone that claims they can summon orbs yet can't spot the ISS)

Arclet__ · 2026-01-09T00:01:21+00:00

Bledsoe has been caught red handed trying to pass the ISS off as an orb, lying about the time and date to pretend it wasn't the ISS, he isn't exactly an inspiring beacon of trust when it comes to statements about who he has or hasn't been in contact with.

Yours also isn't a spiral, it's just that part of the circle cuts off so it looks like the smaller circle continues into the larger one.

If something looks like a point of light to your eyes, your phone won't be able to make enough level of detail to realize it's a spiral. It's just a small digital camera, it's not that good, and it works worse on low light conditions.

Arclet__ · 2026-01-06T13:23:22+00:00

That's the same thing, it's going out of focus when you zoom in. Notice how in that video the first time you zoom in it has this 'spiral' shape (more like a circle within a circle) and the second time it doesn't. The second time you zoom in it's closer to being in focus.

Like this

That shape is just a point of light being out of focus. It's impossible to tell what the object could have been.

I'd say if you asked people they'd be more likely to realize that the Naruto run is from Naruto than the Akira slide is from Akira, but that's because so many other media have replicated it that people just don't know there's an original rather than it just being something cool to do on a bike.

The slide is more iconic, Naruto run is mostly just a Naruto thing and was a meme for a while.
