"Prominent" flat earthers were invited down to #Antarctica to let them see the sun staying up for 24 hours straight, thus proving their flat earth "theory" wrong!
See grown men questioning their own perception of reality, while ACTUAL reality unfolds in front of their own eyes!
If you've ever watched the show Hot Ones, where this rando interviews famous people while they both eat increasingly spicy wings, you should know that the Scoville Heat Units ratings they show for their sauces are *highly* exaggerated. The 8th (out of 10) sauce "Da Bomb" is actually the hottest one and it is about as hot as Dave's Insanity Sauce which I bought from a local grocery store the other day for $7.

The analysis came from a Long Island math enthusiast named #EdwardSolomon, who made a similar — & widely #debunked — argument in 2020 to support claims that Biden stole the race. But to #RobertBeadles it merited careful consideration. “I’ve given you guys enough evidence right there that you guys should hit pause,” Beadles said. “Do your duty.”

It's soo #SciFi and simultaneously plausible. Especially in context of latest US Navy #LaserWeapon presentations and predictable programing via #StarTrek. It all starts to make sense when you check out destination and business passangers on #MalaysianAirlines MH370.

"We highlight that our results (and the genomic data they are based on) shed light on the Rapanui demographic history exclusively. Thus, they cannot be used to directly evaluate the ecological impact of human activity on the island. Whereas anthropogenic impact is widespread in Polynesia, we specifically reject the hypothesis that such changes in Rapa Nui resulted in population collapse in the 1600s, before European contact. Instead, our results support that the Rapanui population was resilient despite a changing environment."

"'In just a few centuries, the people of Easter Island wiped out their forest, drove their plants and animals to extinction, and saw their complex society spiral into chaos and cannibalism.'
So writes Jared Diamond in his best-selling book Collapse, which was published in 2005.
Nearly two decades later, an international team of geneticists has found evidence that this famous cautionary tale never actually happened.
The true story of Rapa Nui (named Easter Island by colonial Europeans) is not one of self-inflicted population collapse, the new findings suggest, but of cultural resilience.
In the 1600s, it seems that the ancient people of Rapa Nui were not utterly isolated on their island, and it is clear that they did not overexploit their resources to the point of 'ecocide'.
Instead . . ."
This isn't a cautionary tale.
www.sciencealert.comFor years, Trump has tried to stir up #fears about #immigrants with claims of caravans full of #criminals and #rapists heading toward America’s southern border.
In Tuesday night’s debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, he doubled down on the vitriol, promoting a #debunked #conspiracy #theory that Haitian immigrants were killing Americans’ house pets and eating them for dinner.
Mr. Trump’s political goals appear to be the same as they always have been:
to stoke anger and ️give people someone to blame for their misfortunes.
But the debate highlighted how Mr. Trump has escalated his assaults on immigrants in the 2024 presidential campaign,
and how he uses the issue to overshadow other topics,
including tariffs or the economy.
Trump’s first mention of “dangerous” migrants on Tuesday night came just 59 seconds into his first answer
— one about the future of the economy.
Former President Donald J. Trump has long tried to…
The New York Times#RFKJr’s crackpot ideas go well beyond #covid to the #DEBUNKED claim that childhood #vaccines cause autism, that #WiFi causes “#LeakyBrain,” that #chemicals in the water supply might turn children #transgender, that #AIDS might not be caused by #HIV, that #Republicans stole the 2004 election &that #5G networks are used for mass surveillance. And that was BEFORE we learned about his #BrainWorm & the #BearCub. #Trump this wk said #RFKJr has “got some very good ideas” that “turned out to be right.”
“#Chemtrails” are an old-school #ConspiracyTheory, growing up in the same neighborhood as tinfoil hats & Bigfoot. It’s something that’s been #debunked countless times. And here is the newest member of Team #Trump assuring an anonymous social media poster that “we” — presumably meaning him & Trump or him & the Trump admin — will prevent this thing that isn’t happening from happening.
