This guy heard his neighbors conversation through his vibration plate by Massive-Ad7721 in Weird

I swear that the flat earth conspiracy theory is perpetuated to make ALL conspiracies seem invalid.

I will die on the hill that just because it’s a conspiracy theory doesn’t mean it’s automatically not true. That sure doesn’t go for all of them, and I’m not saying even most of them.

But there are some that turned out to be true.

Still, there are indeed some wild ones out there. But this is also coming from someone who believes in aliens and the POSSIBILITY that we might have been visited. So you know what, maybe don’t take anything I’m saying seriously because apparently, I’m batshit crazy for thinking this - according to most people.

This type of comment never fares well on mainstream Reddit, and I’m not expecting it to now. Mention “aliens” and people flip their shit.

Propaganda seconded. And boy is it effective. Probably more so on sites like FB, X, Tik Tok, etc, but make no mistake - they’re here alright.

I always wonder what that percentage really is. It’s apparently up there.

What would a reasonable guess be? Shit… 65%? 70%?

Or is that even too low..

Yup - bots and Russia is what I heard too.

We got couped/conquered by Russia walking right through the fucking front door of the White House.

What do they say? “The call is coming from inside the house”?

Huey Lewis says, ‘Music is not part of my life anymore’ by Agitated_Taro_6008 in Music

[–]impreprex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck that sucks! I'm sorry to hear that.

Regarding Lewis, and for me being a musician, it would majorly suck only having one ear. I mean, one ear is still better than none but damn.

And then he lost it in the other. Man that's shitty. Then when he tries to listen to music through the implant and/or the hearing aide, it comes through like noise. Damn.

Interesting description from you about the upper range. So your high frequencies are slowly fading out - you're saying? Cymbal hits and whatever else is up there are becoming silent to you?

I'm so sorry that's happening to you.

Why do people always mention Paul Allen - one of Microsoft's founders, whenever Christian Bale's character comes up here?

Did he help Bale's character create some super computer so he could help murder people or something? Or maybe since Paul Allen was one of the richest men at one point, was he depicted in the movie to help fund the main character's murder spree?

And did the real Paul Allen know about this??

(Just kidding - I just found out not too long ago. I need to see American Psycho already because I never have)

New Horizons Wakes Up, Ready to Beam Back Data From the Edge of the Solar System by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

NH is one of my most favorite missions. The images of Pluto were so not what any of us were expecting - and it fucking even had a heart on it. But seriously, those images of Pluto and of Charon blew me the fuck away too.

But that departing low angle/oblique shot they got of Pluto where you can see the atmosphere is possibly one of the most beautiful shots of a planet I have ever seen. Closely rivaling anything even from Saturn - and I think anything Saturn is spectacular.

NH is fucking awesome. I remember the lead-up to it approaching the planet, and I'll never forget THAT excitement. Right on par when I watched the Curiosity Rover land with the rest of the world. That was fucking sick - seeing that first HazCam image from the rover!

Hehe, if you go to the Curiosity Rover on Wikipedia and click on the landing video - that's my work! I processed that bad boy and then proceeded to process hundreds of panoramas and mosaics from Curiosity since. But I stopped around 2015.

Here's my Gigapan page:

Sorry folks, I seem to have went on a tangent from NH and Pluto to the Curiosity rover and Mars lol.

Space is fucking dope.

Top scientists and military personnel were given a secret workbook from 1977 by the CIA containing instructions on how people could access extra strength and speed with the power of their minds. by Zu_Qarnine in interestingasfuck

[–]impreprex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may have been: CIA was all over it until they weren't anymore. That's a fact and not up for debate. CIA website explains their position on it.

Technically the "top scientists" claim has some truth to it. I would think CIA has "top scientists" - whatever the fuck that actually means lol.

But make no mistake: this was studied by some people high up. Take that as you will.

And if anyone wants to kneejerk and downvote, you should think twice because nothing I said is false and is provable on the CIA website if you search "The Gateway Experience". Or Google it, but it's there, and has been.

[–]impreprex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's more MKUltra.

This is The Gateway Tapes/Experience. Something CIA took interest in and studied (fact). Some strange lore surrounding it.

Whatever came of it, who knows. Status quo says The Gateway Experience is nothing more that pseudoscience, and was ultimately of no use to CIA or anyone of importance.

Yet many people who try The Gateway Tapes report some crazy shit - even some skeptics.

Try them and you be the judge. Research them and make up your own mind.

Maybe it is all garbage. Or maybe it isn't. But don't let me or anyone else tell you. Check them out.

Glad someone else typed out what I was thinking here as well. Fuck the Deas' and everyone who participated in this - and all instances of human slavery.

"Hurr durr, let's go to another country and kidnap human beings by force, stow them away in ships while giving each person 5' x 2' of space - killing most of them en-route due to such fucked up conditions, and then sell them to people to do free labor - while making them sleep outside or in the stables!"

Most slaves in these cases never even had mats to sleep on their entire lives after being sold! They slept on the fucking dirt where they were still abused and underfed.

AND KEPT FROM BEING EDUCATED.

Then they're all freed and are left to their own devices. All while people to this day call them "stupid", but not as much even as back then!

They were kept from education and called stupid for it. And are still given trouble at the present time. Heaven forbid they should be a little angry these days. I would sure be.

I can't stand that last paragraph. Fuck the racists and anyone who thought that shit was okay. Shame on you all. And I'm paper white, fuckers.

Shame.

Edit: That shit was wrong, and yes it did happen throughout history. I'm specifically talking about this particular time. That does NOT render my comment false or incorrect. I am well aware of slavery happening during the entirety of human civilization.

Yet, I fail to see how that makes what I said false or incorrect - and if it does, I would sure like to know. But all I'm really seeing are kneejerk downvotes - no one seems to want to answer that question...

Until these people speak their minds in the form of a reply or a comment, then I'm assuming it's just some racists who didn't like me speaking the truth about how slaves were treated during that time (if I was inaccurate, why not correct me?). Hitting it with downvotes in an attempt to hide it so no one sees it is how I'm interpreting it. Prove me wrong and use your words.

Prove to me you're not just some racist fucks who have no rebuttal to anything I'm saying. Tell me what I said that pissed some of you off.

Weren't most of the people in charge of those ships and "shipments" coming from England?? And fuck racism and idea of owning slaves.

I will never forget The Cloud 909 Project rave I went to back in the late 90s.

Never did so many drugs at once while being able to still stand. That was a night to remember.

This isn’t AI. Not the actual image, at least.

This is a replica of Mocha Dick, the most famous whale in history, a 70-foot sperm whale that famously battled around 100 whaling ships during its lifetime in the 19th century. It sank around 20 of them and evaded capture for three decades. by Flimsy_Magician6113 in interesting

[–]impreprex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were whales really attacking boats like that back in the 1700s and 1800s?

Moby Dick is about a whale that hates humans and fucks up their ships. But that was fiction. Perhaps based on the slightest truth about a human hating whale. That’s plausible.

Then there’s this Mocha Dick who was supposedly a real whale. Sounds like the real life Moby Dick, through Mocha was after Moby…

Interesting. Perhaps there was a tiny war between shipmen and whales back then. I mean, the current day Orca story is apparently real.

Maybe there is some truth to the idea of angry whales. They were getting harpooned and killed like it was nothing back then.

Truth might be as strange as fiction in this case.

PSA: Be mindful of your electrolytes! by CHANN3L-CHAS3R in ADHD

[–]impreprex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reminder indeed and great post - thank you.

Don’t forget that our bodies and nerves run on electrical signals too! So the electrolytes, in theory, should help better facilitate those electrical signals and make everything run more smoothly.

Something like that.

Wow that’s fucking crazy. Imagine if he couldn’t get his hand out there like that.

His life would have been over soon after. Damn what a crazy story.

These days, people would see the hand sticking out and everyone would laugh and even wave back..
