I’ll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was “Kitty.”
Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of “if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!” or there’s some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.
Anti-perspirant causes breast cancer. You look at data for Japan back in the 90’s-2000s and breast cancer was like 80 times less prevalent in Japan vs the US. Now Japanese are starting to use it more and breast cancer instances are raising to be more on-par with the US. The NIH did a study that was inconclusive so everyone assumes its not true. However, if you read the study you realize exactly how inconclusive it is, and that the answer was truly more along the lines of: “We don’t know”.
Scar was the hero in The Lion King.
Elaborate.
He killed a king, and that’s just dope.
Rule under Mufasa was essentially an oligarchy, with oppression everywhere. Unlike the other RACIST lions, Scar would spend time with the hyaenas, providing them food and protection. He skipped the crowning of a new pampered little shit, and after getting shit from his king brother he had had enough - he ended the bloodline.
His first act was to remove oppression, giving equality for all. Then a huge natural disaster happened, absolutely no fault of Scar’s, and life was harsh.
Then, Simba the little prick just fucks off, lives the dream in luxury like the pampered little asshole he is, and then decides “fuck it, this is too nice, let’s bring back the racism”. He comes back, plants doubt through a hate campaign and the hyaenas kill Scar. The drought ends, Simba brings back oppression, and has another little cunt kid.
Scar was a hero. He undid years of ruthless oppression against other species, and got shit for it because the land was left in a poor state and couldn’t handle a downturn in weather.
This is spot on. Fuck Mufasa fuck Simba LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION

Either all those YouTubers collected the check from Raid without even touching the thing or they make up 99% of the playerbase at this point and it’s basically their best kept secret social club.
Tiktok is a Chinese psyop to turn the next generation of Americans into drooling idiots.
The previous generation probably said the same about MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia, etc.
Let people enjoy what they enjoy. There will always be idiots everywhere, and TikTok emerging won’t suddenly make Americans dumber.
There’s a HUGE difference between tiktok and all of the sites you’ve posted. Wikipedia? The fuck are you on about?!
Maybe you’re not old enough to realise this, but for a long time Wikipedia was seen as being a dangerous site to learn from, because “anyone can edit it”.
Every generation goes through shit like this. Stop pretending that TikTok is special, and let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.
I’m almost 40. That reputation was only amongst teachers.
I think that’s just a fact.
Firefox knows the exact worst time to force a restart on me. What’s up with that?
It knows you better than your mother, and you deserve it.
They build our houses specifically to be inefficient at staying cool, then they sell us AC units and power to cool down our inefficient houses. They must be stopped.
JD Vance was forced in as the Trump VP pick by the Heritage Foundation so that when Trump either dies or stops cooperating with them on Project 2025, they already have a man in place to take over. And that’s likely the reason for the assassination attempts.
If Trump dies, they get Vance (a true believer…unlike Trump who just wants the power to stay out of prison) at the top of the ticket.

And we get some kind of Peter Theil libertarian theocracy.
Vance’s flexibility to bend in any direction at any time is just… he makes lindsey graham look principled.
I hate how the theocratic right has successfully co-opted libertarian in the US to mean alt-republican.
it makes me wonder about a LOT of libertarians, normally I thought they’d recoil from trump but some seem strangely comfortable with him.
makes me wonder about their principles.
Even my local libertarian candidates have been hard right theocrats recently, like they failed to secure a promising outlook for a Republican run and just though libertarian was the same thing. A few are probably even too far right for the Republican ticket.
What part of “don’t tread on me” includes treading on bodily autonomy and LGBTQ rights? I am starting to think some people don’t actually have principles, and don’t understand words too good neither.

I believe the official narrative is JD Vance was Donald Trump Jr’s shitbrained idea. Trump Jr and Vance personally both roll with the same “intellectual dark web” theories, neo-eugenics and such.
I genuinely believe at this point that Trump wants out but they wont let him, I think the first assassination attempt rattled the shit out of him. He went along as a willing figurehead, he was never a true believer. He was told they would be behind him and protect him as long as he did what he was told, they would . Now he has realised too late that a figurehead is also a lightning rod but that his only way out is through and they will knock him off or throw him to the wolves if he rocks the boat.

I think that people being in overly light polluted areas for their entire lives is or at least is a major part of what’s wrong with society these days.
When you go out at night and look at a sky completely filled with stars it makes you feel a certain way. Full of wonder, small, curious. Conversations always go in the “what if” or “what do you think about” sort of direction. It really puts you in your place in a strangely calm, thoughtful , and healthy way. And the more you can see, the better. If the Milky Way is visible it just puts you in awe.
People don’t get to experience that very often, if at all, when they live in a populated area.
I think that is by design.
If you cannot just go outside and get that huge feeling of idk existential wonder, you’re going to get hard coded into your personal fears and beliefs and all that whatnot. This drives the population apart. Meanwhile, all forms of light pollution measures are either deemed too expensive or just not enforced. At least in my area. And large amounts of the population live somewhat close to an airport. Never really gets dark at night near an airport…
Anyways that’s my ted talk about how light bulbs are ripping society apart by its very fibers. Next up is how ceilings are a conspiracy to keep the poors underfoot if anyone wants to hear it.
Take it one step further and that sense of wonder is why I feel the powers that be reacted swiftly to squash psychedelics and shut down all research into them, unless the research benefitted the national security cartel, of course.
It’s difficult for rulers to maintain capitalist control when you can eat a piece of paper and have the wonders of the universe revealed to you and realize that it’s supposed to be about loving other humans. Makes neverending consumption and 9-5 work seem really lame in comparison.
Cities tend to be more light polluted, but less racially divided than rural areas, though.
I think it’s more about exposure. If you’re never exposed to a certain kind of people, some people just won’t trust them.
Yeah, people in cities tend to be less conservative and more open minded. The more rural, which means less light pollution, are the opposite. So I don’t think that conspiracy really holds.

The ceilings one is way simpler.
When you spend a lot of time in a place with low ceilings it makes you subconsciously feel trapped. After a while of it your actions and behavior will likely start to reflect that and you will probably be less likely to do anything that you can for your future.
You don’t get that in a place with higher ceilings.
The RTO push is designed to keep the commercial real-estate market from crashing. I’ve never seen any good proof of this, but believe it. I don’t exactly know why CEOs of big companies would really care that much about commercial real-estate. Perhaps their large shareholders (hedge fund managers?) also own commercial real-estate and are putting pressure on CEOs? Perhaps at that level it’s just a big club, and all the wealthy just help eachother out, out of solidarity? Dunno.
If the value of corporate real estate falls then that had a material impact on the balance sheet of companies owning their own offices. It’s in their own best interests to keep demand high.
Companies that rent don’t enforce RTO.
Perhaps. I guess the companies could use their campus equity in a beneficial way. Not sure how beneficial this is to most companies though. With the companies I’m thinking of, I’d guess campus equity is pretty minor (compared to their “human resources”). I may be wrong though.
Yes, offices will be a small proportion of total assets. But there is still profit to be made.

BLM was taken by state actors if not outright organized by them just like jan6 idiots.
BLM era protests got too hot for the government tho, so deff got spooked
Occupy wall street was the protest that really spooked the ruling class.
It took them forever to derail that one and they learned a lot from it. We have been in outright class war ever since and most people don’t even know since they are busy fighting culture war
the feds and big corpos are spying on you and the only reason you’re still alive is because
a) you’re a small fish
xor
b) you help them in some way by being a usefull idiot
xor
c) you’re part of the conspiracy
xor of n values ia true if odd number of them is true, so in your statement it means either one or three should be true
yes
Or d) the wizard of Oz is going broke and can’t keep up with everyone
Determinism
there’s no conspiracy in that theory
It’s proven to be false, yet I can’t stop believing in the theory.
Ken Paxton has dirt on every Republican in Texas, and the fraud we know about is probably a multitude less than what he actually does.
I got another one (that’s pretty much a fact) in order to get facial recognision, fingerprint sensors, etc working you have to login with your ms/apple/google acc, on windows 7 you didn’t have to… now why would you need an online connection to setup a piece of physikal hardware with local sofyware??? It’s pretty simple: apple, google and microsoft know your face, your fingerprint, your voice, your location, etc
At least on iPhones, it’s all on-device.
It might have just been botted, dead internet theory is more dead internet fact these days.
iirc last check it was about 50/50 people vs bots. The problem is people running bot farms or AI generated channels know exactly how to tailor content to the various algorithms used by big social media companies and thus actual human content is actively burried.
