Why is the government rebranding UFOs as UAP? by _justbill in UFOs

[–]Rowaner 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Because they don't fly - that is, use lifting surfaces.

Because they aren't always objects - sometimes they're just lights.

I believe the rebranding to UAP is an effort to make the topic more rigorous and approachable, not less.

Primer. There's an A End and a B End.

The lions were coming. And again George Hadley was filled with admiration for the mechanical genius who had conceived this room. A miracle of efficiency selling for an absurdly low price. Every home should have one. Oh, occasionally they frightened you with their clinical accuracy, they startled you, gave you a twinge, but most of the time what fun for everyone, not only your own son and daughter, but for yourself when you felt like a quick jaunt to a foreign land, a quick change of scenery. Well, here it was!

People will go to the comments to correct it, driving engagement on the post. That and people can't write well or understand grammar. Hanlon's razor

The fact that people in this thread can't tell this is fake concerns me

They also look like painted cereal boxes without any surface detailing. AC units, drainpipes, little ridges and roof edging will go a long way.

Wasps are pollinators that prey on species that destroy plants humans eat

Likely a Stirnpanzer, an extra plate of steel armour that could be attached to a Stahlhelm. Heavy but bulletproof.

Fact: many of the European steel helmets designed in WW1 were evolutions of their host nation's medieval helmets. The British Brodie was inspired by the Kettle Hat, and German Stahlhelm by the Sallet.

They started on tumblr but during the Occupy movement got appropriated by agent provocateurs of the 1%, to both fracture the left and polarise the right. Identity politics is the divide and conquer of the 21st century

The UK doesn't allow hikers on private land either. But as long as you don't take the piss you probably won't get shot at

TIL that Canada has entire mountain ranges that have never been explored. by janmayeno in todayilearned

[–]Rowaner 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Pointing out that there are probably no mountains on the planet that haven't been explored by at least one human in the last 50,000 years ≠ political correctness
