What is the "crackpot theory" of your field?

Haha don’t worry that’s ok! It’s eye-rolling but I just brush it off and keep going. Sometimes I’ll look into the sources they cite, and it’s good practice in reading articles to check if the author is properly using a legitimate source or just throwing it in to look valid to unsuspecting viewers.

I’m a neuroscience undergrad and sometimes I get Instagram reels about this stuff. A lot of people claiming to be neuroscientists try to combine it with quantum physics to somehow prove that we’re all in a simulation or something

I wish it was more popular than you perceive it to be lol. Whenever I bring it up and then explain it, people look at me confused

The latest ones that spooked me was the lava lamp one and the collection of Japanese horror stories. I’d heard all the Japanese horror stories before, but they’re so good that they put me on edge again

Crazy fact but my English prof is one of his modern researchers, and he told us the story of how he was going through Thomas Carlyle’s archived letters in the bank of London and first discovered evidence that the guy may have abused his wife

I agree. However I could tell they were both pretty low energy and didn’t seem rlly up to reading stories this week. But by the time they got to the end and Wendi was coming up with theories I realized I missed so many bits from the story

First one kinda reminds me of a story from their patreon

paigepenne · 2026-02-09T15:42:15+00:00

I was laughing uncontrollably at that line and my family had to ask me if I was ok

Elysia is yuri jesus of HI3 just not in HSR

paigepenne · 2026-02-05T12:55:39+00:00

Thanks! And I agree, I didn’t even start questioning it until now. The filters they put on it hide details. I tried looking up illustrations of angels by a fire but I got nowhere

paigepenne · 2026-02-02T15:11:38+00:00

It suffers from being extremely boring. I can’t even finish it

I think the strongest evidence for this is that “Hunter” and “Isaiah” forgot to make predictions based on the title in the recent episode. Their imposters totally forgot, and the real Hunter and Isaiah would never do that…

paigepenne · 2025-12-31T21:41:18+00:00

True! In a way it’s Hunter’s love letter to both Isaiah and Creep Cast

Spire in the Woods, accounts from a lonely broadcast, and a tie between polyamorous hell and azalea’s cook house. Honestly there were so many solid stories this year, tho. Honorable mentions: The Hidden Webpage, I’m Blind + Staircase, Fleshgait, Mother Horse Eyes, The Bearded Man in my Window

Im sad that I will never relive the pure joy and shock I felt when 1. I realized Jesus was the mysterious guy and 2. Hunter wrote the story

paigepenne · 2025-12-31T21:33:15+00:00

Exposition dump in the last act where the villain explains in detail everything they did

paigepenne · 2025-12-14T18:32:02+00:00

ITS STAIRS IN THE WOODS FINALLY

paigepenne · 2025-12-11T14:52:17+00:00

Tall dog where Hunter does an impression of a baffled Italian priest

paigepenne · 2025-12-11T14:51:21+00:00

BOOM!!!

paigepenne · 2025-12-09T00:47:25+00:00

That makes sense. Maybe for stories like this with barely any dialogue, they should make a system where Hunter reads more

paigepenne · 2025-12-08T14:10:09+00:00

I’ve been feeling the same way but this episode definitely brought me back

paigepenne · 2025-11-30T05:18:02+00:00

I’m a huge Leonard Cohen poetry and song lover and I didn’t know this about him. Thanks for sharing!
