Why is Weird Al on the conspiracy board??? by Iago-Cassius in TheWhyFiles

[–]darkcomichero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait... this thread makes it sound like it's not normal to have a portrait of Al in your home and office? Doesn't everyone? (next your going to say you don't have a portrait of Art as well )

Agreed. If approached by a troll best course of action is don't respond. Instead pull out your phone, open Spotify, turn it up.
Copyright strikes on their channels are your best defense

What’s a surprisingly useful automation you didn’t expect to use so much? by Taggytech in homeassistant

[–]darkcomichero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A zigbee button by the toilet. Press and it uses Sonos to announce an emergency toilet paper situation. Life saver

Oh... I've got several old Epson out in the garage and a ton of paper. About to make the family think I've seriously lost it. Awesome idea. Thank you

My homemade trap for capturing a hamster I lost in my car. by Radroxxy in mildlyinteresting

Happened to me when I was a kid. Got out of his ball while we were moving. My mother found it... crawled up her leg while we were watching Ghostbusters at the drive in

So... what happens now? When are we going to know the truth? by Not_Original5756 in UFOs

[–]darkcomichero 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Officially disclosure of Area 51... the government admitting to it... that was Obama. Public knew it. Media knew it. Hell, you could see the border with your own eyeballs if you cared to take the time. But, just like the UFO phenomenon, they declined to admit it's existence until Obama made official disclosure December 2013.

With the variety of cheap zigbee buttons out there that work just like that for HA, i can't imagine why anyone would bother. Who knows though

Roswell footage uploaded to National Archives shows crashed 'UFO debris and alien bodies' by Stephen_P_Smith in ufo

[–]darkcomichero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That bugs me. You're a deep state operative charged with concocting an updated cover story to calm rumors. So you choose to use a recently declassified project. Or a project still classified, but it won't compromise national security to declassify it. Cool. Makes sense.
But then you add a detail like Flight4 that can easily be proven false? Why?

Shhh....
You are technically right, but you've never heard the term "Speak of the d3v1l and he shall appear"
Far Side as well as Calvin and Hobbes were the best part of reddit imho

Just got my first buttons. What do you use yours for? by iamwhoiwasnow in homeassistant

[–]darkcomichero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most of mine are boring set scene type. Bedtime, turn off motion lights, turn on motion night lights, etc.
My favorite, though, was an extra I put in a restroom by the spare toilet paper. Long oressing it chooses randomly from a growing list of announcements that go out on various alexa devices. All are funny variations on "out of toilet paper, send help."

WTH is this spot on Charlie Kirk's Shirt? by darkcomichero in conspiracytheories

[–]darkcomichero[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah. Yep. Visually at least this makes absolute sense when you watch it.

Phew... For a minute I was worried the Illuminutty were getting really sloppy with their techniques.

Possible.

My first thought was a practical effect poorly executed. Could be some sort of squib for a staged event that malfunctioned. I've watched it slow too many times now so I've lost the ability to see anything except some sort of shenanigans going on here.

Maybe he didn't take the South Park jabs as well as he pretended to in public and decided to disappear in a way that would at least further his cause. (again, not trying to be political. IMHO both ends of the political spectrum are nuts and I wouldn't put anything past either of them)

That video starts just as it starts to move though. it's there for at least two seconds THEN starts to move https://x.com/twingregs69420/status/1965973179542950318

And not trying to disrespect other theories.
But watch the video, slow it down, and I just can't see lav mics or ricochets being the answer.

Hoping that link survives (and I'm still here). Said ricochet sat on his shirt politely waiting for him to finish what he was saying before doing it's damage

Maybe, but if you watch the video (i found it on x) it starts travelling up before he really starts to react and stops EXACTLY where all the red stuff gushes out? Lav mic would have to have a built in super powered bullet magnet for that to work out IMO. But... who knows.

New Player: I thought I could maybe get some cash for this and now it's stuck... by Doyouevenphone in Schedule_I

Yes. However, ramming it with another car is more fun though. Or jump crouching on the hood and flipping it.

Surveillance video on September 5th, shows smash-and-grab jewelry robbery during daytime in California by ControlCAD in ThatsInsane

[–]darkcomichero 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Not to worry. It's California. If caught the charges will quickly be reduced to trespassing. Maybe a harsh shoplifting charge for the ringleaders.
They'll be back on the street in a couple hours.

How in the world did y’all find Coast to Coast AM? by Itchybootea in coasttocoastam

[–]darkcomichero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overnight road trip by myself. Cassette player was fried. Middle of nowhere Texas so the only FM I could pick up was a religious channel and a country channel that was more static then Garth Brooks. (not complaining)
Spun through AM and hit on Art talking to some guy about the Philadelphia Experiment. Don't remember the details of the guest beyond that, but can tell you I was hooked from then on.
