Sometimes im just astonished by how out there some conspiracy theories are... like not landing on the moon, I guess i can get that cause we are so far removed from it and there isnt any good way to verify it personally... its all trust...
But flat earthers and stuff like that... i just cant get how someone can be that level of stupid...
Apparently it is a conspiracy theory (at least with one person) that nukes dont actually exist and were never used. I mean... i could build you a geiger counter from scratch, i could literally prove nuclear fission with very little parts... how can this stuff even be doubted?
Yea that channel did soooo much harm.
Thi g is when i was younger i was into it and it was good for me as it gave me a "what if" mentality. I was mature enough to know it was speculative despite being sold as fact...
Despite that seems it was quite a bit more harmful for others it seems

People think it's rather weird, considering what the show itself, but The X-Files is what created my skeptical mindset every night. I knew aliens or shapeshifters were bullshit but it was the way Scully and Mulder worked together. Two parties that seldom see eye to eye still getting shit done.
@Darkayne fantasy is good so long as we can understand its fantasy... and also nothing wrong for searching for fantasy in the truth, so long as we are objective enough to recognize we usually wont find it.

It also doesn’t help many grew up watching the Discovery channel to further fortify their believe in “Ancient Aliens”
