    There’s a process for ‘challenging facts’, it’s called the scientific method.

    What these people are doing is called the moronic method.

      But it’s so much easier if you just start with a conclusion instead of all the way back at observation. You don’t have to do any work for soundness at all, just ignore facts that disagree with what you want to believe.

        Sooo I’m a continuous improvement manager and work on process improvement, basically the scientific method for processes. The #1 rule I tell people when we sit down to tackle an issue is “The solution can’t be in the problem statement.” Then, they spend 5 days trying to challenge that rule instead of working with the observations and data.

        Sometimes people don’t have a conclusion, they just want a more entertaining explanation than reality.

    Has anyone found a wall socket on the side of a pyramid, or maybe even a USB socket to recharge a phone?

      Nah man, they are straight up wrong. I know for a fact it’s not for energy.

      I saw a documentary back in the mid 90’s that CLEARLY showed it was a landing pad for pyramid shaped alien spacecraft.

        The canopic jars are actually early battery designs. They were much more efficient than any batteries we have today - they produced almost unlimited energy and were very cheap and easy to make (just look at how many there are), but the government (which is secretly run by lizard people by the way, do your own research and educate yourself) covered it up and created the BURIAL CHAMBER MYTH to keep us reliant on fossil fuels.

    I’m all for critical thinking and not taking everything folks tell you for truth.

    That said, I’m fully against being a complete waste of oxygen (or in this case, datacenter space)

      I wouldn’t even call this critical thinking as the commenter stated, “let them choose what they want to believe.” Sounds like someone picking their preferred religion not thinking critically and allowing evidence to guide their decision. Not to mention the whole aspect of the parental figure leading them astray from established fact in the first place and making them think these theories have any sort of legitimacy.

    So their goal is to make sure their kids never get stem careers and sounds stupid. Got it.

    My biology teacher and chemistry teacher were friends

    My biology teacher told us once that the Jewish government is trying to trick kids in schools from Romania to become trans to solve overpopulation by telling them to take a pill to look better

    My chemistry teacher told us once that the Egyptians advanced technologically much faster than the rest of the world(saying that there are phone drawings in the pyramids),but since they were isolated, all the technology got destroyed from a nuclear war(or the equivalent of that)

    Fortunately, no one was paying attention

    And then the peak reality denier roared over the din, “I’ve kept my child in the cellar since birth. Our curriculum consists of solipsism reinforcement and how to touch peoples’ eyes and white linen shirts after eating hot Cheetos.”

    Seriously, why are these people abusing their kids so hard?

      Because the world terrifies them, and they want their kids to be terrified of it too.

      “Master Shitposter”.

      I feel like the top contributor tag on facebook is almost universally an indicator of a deranged mind.

    Is that dickhead seriously using an azimuthal equidistant globe projection as a flat Earth map? How do they suppose that works?

    Hey, I’ve seen this stuff before!

    It was in the book Foundation by Asimov!

    What did it say this means?
