      In 1816 was the year of no summer. The common explanation is that a volcano erupted reducing the amount of sun light that hit the earth making it much colder for that year. But really the Truth is much crazier.

      Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials for 1000’s of years, some wanting to see humans evolve technologically others wanting to stop or slow our knowledge due to our violent nature. Well after many decades of back and forth fighting, the anti-human ET’s went all in and decided the only safe galaxy was one without Earth and started a chain reaction to destroy the sun. This was 1816.

      But… we still have a sun you say. Yes but it isn’t real. NASA (New American Science Academy) which was founded in 1690 in New York had been in close contact with the Pro-human ET’s , who unfortunately were blindsided by this very radical display from the Anti-humans and missed their opportunity to stop them. So the only thing they could do was to ‘rebuild’ the sun giving NASA the information on how to keep it going.

      Yeah, I can’t get over that. NASA was formed in 1958… Are they saying there was no sun before then? Literally every culture that has left behind any archaeological evidence has referenced the sun in some way.

      Unless they believe that the sun is a god that NASA captured in the late 50s and replaced with a simulation so we wouldn’t notice. That would be crazy too, but kinda metal as far as conspiracies go.

    The reason the sun sets is it takes so much energy to run that they have to switch to a much dimmer “moon” at night to give themselves enough time to recharge the battery enough for the next day’s light. It’s solar-powered, so of course they need to ensure it’s not running at max brightness in order to get the most gains.

          Many people actually dont know Hitler was an alien

          I also said “aliens”, not “all aliens”. A lot of them were busy playing with cats and other tasks

      NASA destroyed the magic industry, captured the wizzards and forces them to inscribe runes into silicon.

      I saw we should fund NASA like conspiracy theorists think we do. It’s amazing how much they do with so “little” money.

    That’s right! The sun, the thing that prevents our entire planet from being a frozen rock, which imparts 44 quadrillion watts of energy on the Earth’s surface, is just an elaborate NASA hoax!

    They actually generate all that energy with…

    …Uh…

    ???

      Look up “Solar Simulator.” It’s a real device scientists use to test the effects of sunlight on various things, from solar panels to satellites (depending on the size of the simulator).

      Flerfs think NASA has one that they bring out during the day and float in the sky just to make Flerfs look stupid, when in reality, they don’t need any help looking stupid.

      Could be in response to the guy who wants to bring flat earthers to Antarctica. He wants to prove a globe by showing them, that there is 24 hours of daylight there. Now the flat earthers a fabulating about a sun simulator as a counter to it.

        I’ve delved down this hole myself in recent months because it’s fun. YouTube channels I’d recommend for people wanting to laugh at flerfers:

        The ones I can think of off the top of my head are: SciManDan, Creaky Blinder, Conspiracy Toonz, David McKeegan and Fight The Flat Earth (FTFE). I’ve also been watching a lot of Planet Peterson lately, but his way of doing things is very much “say something stupid and I will verbally lay into you until you admit you’re a fucking dumbass” which I’m sure can grate on some people and make him come across as very obnoxious and rude.

        But they will all help educate you on why flat earth (and other conspiracies aside) are stupid, to varying degrees, espeically Dave McKeegan if you’re into photography.

      You clearly don’t watch enough videos of someone ranting for 3 hours on YouTube. Then you’d know all about it.

      You joke, but that is just about the sum of it. Illiteracy followed by deranged conspiracy theories erode public trust in institutions. The current GOP is case and point.

      It’s safe for your computer, but perhaps not for your eyes or brain. Lots of bright colors and bold claims.

        Hey, not everything with bright colors and books claims is bad! I wear bright colors because I wore black or grey tshirts for years and now I’m overcompensating. I also have many bold claims about how certain food should be cooked. I’m also pretty terrible…

        You know what? Never mind.
