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.
Kitty.
Windows, Android, & Apple software used to nag you about installing updates endlessly. They don’t do that so much anymore. I think it’s because instead of alerts asking us to install updates, they now create network outages, software crashes, and other minor issues that require a restart. How often do you have some inexplicable problem, restart your device to fix it, and your machine is like “Hey while we’re in there we’re also installing this update we just downloaded a moment ago.”
The number of updates I’ve seen on my phone has decreased because it’s old enough to be done with feature updates. I got out of Windows before it got that bad.
Something I don’t miss from Windows was each app was responsible for its own updates, so you’d sit down to draw something in CAD or whatever and it would say “need to update to continue” so you’d have to sit there listening to the fans whine for a few minutes before you could start. This still happens occasionally on Linux because some software is just the Windows version running in some compatibility layer or something, but it happens a lot less because the package manager handles all that at once.

Katy Perry released Prism to drown out Snowden’s revelations about the NSA Prism program
Couriers have tiny cameras all throughout my home and wait for me to go to the bathroom before they show up with my parcels.
In 2016, there were a bunch of creepy/killer clown sightings. At least in America it made the news pretty regularly. My conspiracy theory is that it started purely as Guerilla Marketing for the 2017 IT adaptation.
The highest quality fruits, veggies, and meats go to restaurants leaving only mid stuff at the grocery store. Which makes cooking at home seem inferior to restaurant food even for home chefs. Pushing people to spend more going out and drive capitalism
For high end restaurants, true.
However top chefs will happily buy ugly fruit and veg if they taste good.
Supermarket fresh fruit and veg is always sold on how it looks, not on how it tastes. Shoppers don’t buy ugly vegetables (except when shaped like genitalia).
I know by personal experience that sometimes my low population density area in the south gets a lower quality of vegetables than the state capitol. I was looking for something to cook. I won’t say what only that the all the items at our local walmart were very small and bruised. This went on for two weeks. I drive to the state capitol and while I’m there go to walmart and they have what I need and they are the right size and of a higher quality.
Next day at our local walmart I look just to make sure and what they have there is just garbage. I have no doubt its the same for many situations.
NHL and MLS instruct officials to tilt games against Canadian teams
That sounds reasonable.
Conspiracies like flat earth are put in the spotlight to make real conspiracies look stupid.
Tankies play a similar function in different context
Tinfoil hats on? Alrighty then:
All these Verizon outages are intentional and part of the plan to invalidate the 2024 election.
We’ll see it happen again on and around election day, maybe xitter will go down too.
Whole voting districts in Georgia won’t report in, citing system crashes, security breaches, whatever they feel like making up. Republican Secretaries of State will declare the election compromised before vote counting even starts.
Obviously there’s also a hurricane and massive flooding, hence the tinfoil hat, but let’s not forget where and when we are in history, and that The Business Plot was a real thing.
The Bin Laden killing was a hoax. That guy died year ago because he was on dialysis machines that wouldn’t really function well somewhere deep in the Pakistani mountains. Or maybe he was actually in that house they raided at some point. But the message came out of nowhere like around the time of the reelection campaign. And they never showed a body. But then they even came up with some BS excuse that a sea burial would be Islamic tradition. Also if they really found him why wouldn’t they just arrest him and give him a process? I’m not buying it.
There are photos and a DNA test that were not shared publicly. It’ll be a good FOIA request in 50 years.
i agree. it’s very strange they immediately disposed of his body and never showed proof. and then a few years later there was that scandal where multiple people were claiming to be the seal that shot him. seems fishy to me
never showed proof
Do… do you think that these forces always snap a pic of the body they just killed and post it to social media and msm? When was the last time you saw proof of death for one of these targets taken down by special forces. I’ll wait.
If it’s Osama, yeah, absolutely.
don’t gotta be condescending friend
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.
It’s true, I do.
the stargate movie/show is “plausible deniability” soft disclosure of the real thing. they “hang a lantern” on this fact with the wormhole xtreme gag in the show.
There really is a base under Cheyanne mountain and the US gov does indeed have a program that was named Stargate too :)
You forgot to mention how wacky Stargate was. Remote viewing, death by telekinesis, ‘psychic hugs’…
Along the same lines, the X-Files was saturated with silly stuff and some real shit just to muddy the waters. X-Files producer had FBI and military advisors. But that’s not the real conspiracy. The producer actually had a secret whistleblower advisor who was ex NSA who fed him real world storylines about dodgy shit the US govt was doing. Any time that they tried to censor the show, the producers were like “It’s ok, the liaisons said to run it.”
makes you think
That covid hijacks people’s brains with a parasite that makes them act like it doesn’t exist or isn’t a big deal if it does.
I don’t actually think it’s true, it’s just that if it were, nothing would be different.
Years ago I had fun with “what if the US never actually went to the moon”. I did not believe it, it was just a nice plot idea, we even made a pen & paper oneshot about it. Nowadays I have no whatsoever fun in thought experiments like this, because the real threat of someone believing it to be true. I want to enjoy “birds aren’t real” or “giraffes do not exist” or … the worst is flat earth. It started out as a joke and now idiots try to proof the earth is flat, proof by accident it isn’t and then question rather their methods than their belief system. We just can’t have nice things.
The moon landings have been faked hundreds if not thousands of times and only done for real 6 times. X-Files Theme
Damn… time for a re-run
I swear I remember flat earth being about questioning science and coming to conclusions yourself… As it’s a pretty simple thing to figure out…but I can’t find any information and no one has even mentioned it even starting as something not crazy…
