I was asked to go to Dugway once .....

...canceled at the last minute.  I started looking around, I'm OK with staying here.  Hey, now that Area 51 is closed (it was never there?)  is it open to the public?

This kind of makes sense, he couldn’t work at a Burger King in Kalamazoo forever.

Do we have a thread for these yet?

I don't really have anything, but boredom and certain current news atricles has me wanting to google for random stuff to occupy my brain while I sit waiting for customers. So here we go: post up your favorites! Keep links SFW pls.

*edit: this is for entertainment. We all know the rules here.

 

Chemtrails are psychoactive agents that make you distrust the government.

I worked with a kid that was all the way crazy about this sort of thing.

He was carrying on about chemtrails for a good hour or so, I just let him go...

When he was finished I mentioned that I was an aircraft mechanic for 8 years and I had never seen the "mind control chemical" tank on the airplane. I also explained what contrails are and how they form.

Without missing a beat, he explained that they mix the chemicals in the fuel.

You just can't argue with that sort of logic.

 

A little while after, this happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Norwegian_spiral_anomaly

He came in to work visibly agitated, freaked out that something nefarious was going on, possibly involving aliens or a secret government project. 

I told him that I would wait until later when the easily believable and completely plausible explanation came out on the news. For now though, I thought it looked like what might happen if a rocket got a hole in the side of it during flight and that Russia was still using rockets.

Later on, Russia said one of their missiles had a failure during a test and that was what we saw.

Apparently Russia is clearly covering something up and I shouldn't believe them.

 

I also know another fellow who is old enough to have watched the moon landing happen on television and is convinced that they faked the whole thing.

 

Maybe there really is a real life "Mr. Burns" out there...

I couldn't love GRM the magazine or the website more, and believe me, I don't like to be the P.C police or anything or the guy who has a problem with everything thing, but I do have a problem with this... I find it a bit offensive that you use terms like “Conspiracy" and "theories" for your little descriptions or whatever in this discussion.  I myself do not make things up, but I feel sensitivity for people who do, as I am a student living among them, and my Girlfriend is pursuing her masters in the field. These "conspiracy theorist" although I'm pretty sure are not even real, are obviously used to describe people who spend a disproportionate amount of time posting on message boards, and it appears that they are used on these boards in a joking sense which, as I view it, makes light of people who know the truth about these "events"

The people who are in control of how many hot dogs are in a package are working with the bun folks to make sure we never have the same amount.   Every day, all across America, people are forced to either use the extra buns for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or cut up the extra dogs into their mac & cheese or Cheerios.

You don't just buy 4 packs of dogs and 5 packs of buns?

Man I really thought this was something but then it all fell apart with “hotdogs in Cheerios” I knew the internet could be a dark place but I’ve never heard such depravity.

Part of the flat earth conspiracy theory is that Australia is a nation of actors hidden in South America.

Before there were any replies, I looked at the opening post on this discussion, paused for a moment and thought, "nope, not going to get into this one."

When it hit three pages and wasn't locked yet, I figured I'd take a look.

It's actually a good example of how different the GRM forum is from the rest of the web. We should all get our "plays well with others" gold stars. Be proud, people!

I've got a couple now, an old one and one that's new to me.

Love bugs were created in a lab at the University of Florida.

I just read about this conspiracy theory: Lyme disease was introduced into ticks by the United States army to function as a bioweapon.

Now, about that ice cream.

This is absolutely the best model of our solar system I have ever seen animated:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jHsq36_NTU

A good friend of mine is a flat earth true believer.  He already does not believe in the spherical earth or the heliocentric solar system.  He does not believe gravity is what holds the earth together or that the earth spins for that matter since if it did it would fly apart.  Our flat earth is being accelerated (motive power unknown of course).  But wait, there is more.  The Antarctica is an ice dam holding the the oceans from falling off the edge (I know, no gravity, why would it fall).  He started to get into the alien bases in Antarctica but stopped when he realized I was a total flat earth denier and should be treated like some treat anthropometric global warming deniers.

This video basically turned him into a mouth foaming  stutterer.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jHsq36_NTU

When I worked for the Dept. of Agriculture I got asked all the time why we dropped rattlesnakes from airplanes and several people told us they saw some of the sasquatches that we'd released.  Though I worked with invasive species, snake planes and sasquatches must have been handled by another section.

According to this theory you could also be an artificial intelligence cheeky

They also seem to take issue with at least the location of, if not the accepted existence of, some other places including New Zealand and Japan:
