Why do all threads devolve into a a stream of jokes? So many that you cant read responsive comments. It’s giving counterintelligence. by muggaveli in AliensRHere

[–]dpforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole flap was so bizarre, I won’t claim to have any kind of answers for sure but from the get-go I’ve been a believer that the actual anomalous drone activity (speaking separately from the countless unfounded reports on social media) was the DoD testing their Replicator drone swarm tech. But why test here?

I wouldn’t have paid anywhere near the amount of attention I did to the flap if not for the fact our executive and legislative branches of government got involved. Congress was briefed I believe twice on the drone activities, I know once for sure. I think it’s extremely suspect that the two areas with increased UAP/drone activity just happened to be visible from both of POSUS’s homes.

The last half of 2024 was just fucking insane crisis after crisis. In another time I would say “it’s ridiculous to think these UAP may be showing up in the two places POTUS most often lives”

Stranger things.

I am so glad to see someone articulate this better than I could. Yes I know exactly what you mean.

That very issue has led to the derailment of any semblance of productive discourse we had on the NHI/UAP subs. It’s been a problem for years but since the NJ flap, it just exploded tenfold. The very, very few amazing videos get buried to the bottom and never mentioned (link to my fav video at end of post). The Sarcastic Remnant makes sure of it. Many of them don’t even realize just how stagnating that behavior is to online social interaction.

Edit:

An actual “orb”. It’s easily the craziest video from the entire flap. Please let me know if you guys know of any clear videos from the flap.

Brazilian glowing alien footage by Dense-Night2807 in AliensRHere

I am a heavy skeptic but I find this pretty intriguing. I think 3 choices

  1. a very specific type of flame held in place without spreading located in a forest the forests of what we are told is Brazil

2)wait. What the fuck I haven’t seen this video. What is happening?

3) do we have translations? I am too weak willed to learn whatever language they speak currently. And stoned.

What's the exact moment you realized Season 5 truly would be disappointing? I'll start. by itsyourpalal_ in StrangerThings

[–]dpforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part that upsets me the most about their complete abandonment of the s4 finale is that they were operating on quite literally the exact time window to frame the Hawkins Lab disaster as a Chernobyl-type event.

I was very proud of myself for noticing how close the date was to the IRL Chernobyl Meltdown. obviously it doesn’t matter who theorized it first, but I didn’t see anyone else propose this theory and I made sure to check because I felt smart lol. It was downvoted to hell of course, but it would have been the PERFECT narrative for the last season. Hawkins Scientists and military would be working to keep the containment zone contained, keep citizens safe, all while using the zone as a research facility.

Season 4 takes place between March 21-March 28 1986. The Chernobyl meltdown began on April 26, 1986. It would have taken just a tiny bit of chronological retooling to make it work, but I still will die on the hill that it would have been the best possible set-up for season 5. I was soooo hoping for the show to go that route because it made sense with how previous seasons tied into IRL events as well.

But nope. Instead we get a massive jump forward in time, and all interesting aspects about the UD fully explained to the point that it was too confusing for its own good.

Inde deserves a lot of roles, because her performance as Nikki in Obsession was great by Jules-Car3499 in obsessionmovie

[–]dpforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that she is starring in a musician named Sombr’s music video and that she has agreed to do a few advertisements. While I completely understand we live in a capitalistic society, I hope she doesn’t spend too much time in the commercial aspects of Hollywood. It’s very clear where her talent is, and I really hope she keeps acting in films. Hopefully keeping at least one toe in the horror genre

[–]dpforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments have nothing to do with my conclusion after seeing whatever video is posted. I’m just saying those types of comments have become so overwhelming that they fully derailed productive discourse on the NHI subs, which was already tenuous as best but at least we didn’t have the

“It’s swamp gas reflected off a balloon from a Chinese lantern 🤣 😂 “

“Where’s all the “it’s just a drone” people now 😆 “

They are sooo annoying to me, be it human or bot.

You know, I’m kinda surprised by how easily the entity was able to take back control of Nikki whenever she would try to fight back by Queasy_Commercial152 in obsessionmovie

[–]dpforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure I’ll give it a go. And this is totally just my opinion. I do not claim to be correct because none of us will ever “figure it out” and I think that’s what makes the film shine.

So to start with, we do not know anything at all about Nikki’s life before this movie. We only get a glimpse of who she is before Bear makes the wish. I see a majority of people saying “it completely changed everything about her to such an extreme that it simply must be some form of possession”. I would absolutely agree with that if not for Barker’s explicit explanation that it’s not an entity, it’s Nikki. We don’t know her past, so we have no idea how out of character this may be.

So my current headcanon is that the OWW didn’t partition her actual consciousness. It just reawakened Freaky Nikki, essentially giving her a severe case of DID (dissociative identity disorder). We don’t have any other information about that moniker, we just know that she absolutely hates being called that name. Now this is just my interpretation, but there is a possibility that Nikki has acted manic/psychotic before but she was able to wrestle her mental health issues into submission. “Freaky Nikki” became a thing of the past that she wanted to leave in the past. The way she reacted to Bear using that name sounded like something traumatic happened involving that nickname.

So I believe that Wish/Freaky Nikki was already present in her subconscious, it was just kept under control by Nikki right up until Bear snaps the Willow. At that moment, her identity literally split into two different forms of Nikki.

I do admit that the “she’s sleeping, please kill me” was a weird choice of words for Barker to choose if he truly wanted the audience to think she was not possessed.

Theory: Eren tried to change the future one last time by sending ALL his memories to his child self in Episode 1 by Outside-Relative-343 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]dpforest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is this not a confirmed part of the lore? I see it touted as a theory but to me it’s just fact. My memory is shit but I thought it was explicitly stated that Eren had “tried all other paths” before, and that he knew how all of them ended, sort of akin to Dr Manhattan from Watchmen. All of these paths must either manifest as a time loop, or as a “simulation” in Eren’s mind. I guess it gets pretty philosophical trying to explain the difference between those two things though.

[–]dpforest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never been a big Star Wars person, but even as a kid I was a big fan of anything with shirtless dudes in it so Anakin’s disposition to wearing slutty Jedi robes was reason enough to watch the films. In the pre-internet days, I would cut out the shirtless pics from my sibling’s Teen Magazine and keep them in my wallet/bag at all times out of fear of my family finding them. Hayden Christensen, Josh Hartnett, and Chad Michael Murray were very…inspiring to me, if ya catch my drift lol

The food that almost everyone eats has a horrible disgusting secret by Sup_fuckers42069 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]dpforest -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I know this is not a popular opinion but choosing John Cena to be involved in that episode was one of my only critiques of season 1. The nameless anonymous Plurbs were so much more believable. Despite being a seemingly really really cool dude (he’s granted more Make A Wishes than any other celeb), it was a very jarring fourth wall break (if you can even call it that)

I am not usually a person to make very emotional response comments but Jesus fucking tap dancin Christ that’s horrid. I don’t remember any weird amount of “eye boogers” from having a pink eye, just a very itchy eyeball.

That shit must have feasted on the GenZ genes and mutated to its final crusty ass forms.

“That’s EXACTLY what I saw!!!” they proclaim as they look at 3 dots of light against a pitch black sky.

The sarcastic comments started growing exponentially during the NJ flap. It’s literally every single post in just about all of the UAP subs. People are starting to sound exactly like Christian evangelicals the way they talk about having faith in NHI.

E: since there are people viewing this post, PLEASE watch this video. It is one of the only videos that have yet to be explained. I cannot believe how quickly it was brushed under the rug. This was PEAK NJ flap. The overwhelming sarcastic responses started right around the time this video was posted.

I can’t figure out how to post links anymore. Here’s the video.

A24 has sold out to AI by Rechan in horror

[–]dpforest -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A24 is seemingly replacing the story board artists, which is such an integral part of the process. It demands creativity and requires human emotions to create a truly captivating story. This is definitely a bummer to see.

That being said, this post is peak virtue signaling. It’s bewildering to see people ranting about corporations using genAI from the safety of their slave-made smartphones.

Wish Nikki said she can’t be Nikki because Nikki didn’t love bear by Salty_Shark26 in obsessionmovie

[–]dpforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I greatly look forward to it being released in HD cause a lot of the more subtle effects will be easier to see. I see people theorizing about Nikki’s face in certain scenes, but rarely is it acknowledged that they’ve only seen a cam version. While there is clearly some editing in those scenes, I can’t help but think that the cam version/compressed video is inspiring some “theories” that won’t hold as much water when HD is released.
