There is only one Waffle House with doors around the world.
JFK’s head just did that on its own.
This could also explain Cracker Barrel.
Then why are the employees at one Waffle House near me always high, but another near me across town is normal? Well… normal as Waffle House gets, anyway.
Higher dimensional beings exist in a state manifest to us as differing realities. Which “reality” we see is partially dependent upon the difference in locations of the portals we take to the pocket.
Ah, kind of like a Waffle of Indra type situation.
Incandescent light bulbs burned out at the speed they did because of an agreement between light bulb manufacturers to not make them better. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel
That’s so oversimplified that it borders on being a lie. Yes it happened, but the why of it wasn’t as simple as just “sell more lightbulbs”.
I can’t link it right now, but go on YouTube and find the channel technology connections. He does a deep dive into the history of the light bulb and the phoebus cartel. TLDR: believe it or not, it was actually a good thing.
Maybe the Technology Connections guy is an heir to the General Electric fortune. He certainly has a lot of access to old toasters. 🤔🧐
/s
Now there’s a conspiracy theory I can get behind. He’s financed by big toaster.
Does that explain why he did a 40 minute video on why microwaves from the 60s were better, but have since become shitified? To promote toasters instead?
Actually, come to think of it, it’s not just toasters… it’s coffeemakers, microwaves, stove knobs, thermostats…
HE’S SUPPORTED BY BIG BIMETALLIC STRIP!
Frakkin Cylons! I knew it!
It was neutral at best, it was still a conspiracy to reduce choice in the market in a way that was beneficial to them. Yes, the excuse they used was that it prevented people from creating light bulbs that were of poor quality, and had an unpleasant color to them, but it also was profitable for them to do so.
Here’s the video you mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb7Bs98KmnY
It would have been a race to the bottom. The same way it happens with other products today. Some number bigger = better marketing = selling more = others need to do the same or go bankrupt = everyone does it.
Big business doesn’t have the right to decide that for us.
If the government does not, good thing they did.
Lmao that’s not how any of this works
People buy iPhones bruh
That’s fair. I can get behind a neutral view of it.
That’s totally true. If you go to Edison’s house they have light bulbs that have been burning for a really long time. Every tour someone asks, “why don’t my light bulbs last that long?” The tour guide replies, “because then you’d only buy them once.”
Also the bulbs that last forever are majorly undervolted. They last forever because they’re not run anywhere near their current capacity, and as a result, they emit way less light and their filament doesn’t degrade as fast.
If you take any old off the shelf incandescent bulb and only run it at 50v, it’ll last decades.
A big part of that is that those bulbs are never turned off. Cycling power is actually a large part of what degrades them.
That you don’t actually need toilet paper or a bidet, it’s just a money making scheme for the elites.
Opinions like this are why cons smell like shit.
That’s why you have a sinistra hand
Username fits 👍
Just shit in the attic
Break the cycle
I believe this is why wokies smell like shit…
It’s spelt wookiee.
Ok here is my tin foil hat conspiracy that involves the reason for the Iraq war and Deep Water Horizon. Ok so America went to Iraq on behalf of oil interests, ranging from opec to US oil companies. Ok here we go, so Iraq was flooding then global markets with cheap black market oil to India, China and France. This caused gasoline prices to be lower across the globe as there was always oil to go around introducing an artificial surplus. After the start of war the surplus started disappear and global oil markets stabilized from no longer having a surplus countries and companies had to now buy oil from manufacturers raising the price as there’s a cap on how much oil can actually be produced. This of course meant gas prices in the US (and I assume abroad) would have to go up. When Deep Water Horizon happened the administration saw an opportunity to then raise gas prices to actually what it should be. After conversations moved on from Deep Water Horizon the US government just hope people wouldn’t notice that the price of gas was never going to come down again to what they were before Deep Water Horizon happened. And that is how deep water horizon is connected to the invasion of Iraq.
Alright, I’ll bite.
I think it’ll someday be known that Russia was involved in the promotion of cuck porn, partially explaining its increased prevalence.
Ok, I’ll bite.
Why?
The basic gist: a lot of the early promotion of Trump, “TheDonald,” etc…got its start on 4chan. Pepe the Frog. Qanon nonsense. It was the first place I also noticed the trend of (specifically interracial) cuck porn with weirdly divisive messaging/themes, before it became a trending theme on every mainstream porn site.
If you look into what Russia does/has done in the U.S., the goal is always to sow division. The means are often irrelevant. Though they’ve had great success supporting the right, they also create fake groups/initiatives on the left, the general goal being to widen the social rift. Our racism problem as a country has seemingly been a frequent target, for obvious reasons. And, in short, I can think of few things more inflammatory to a racist, white MAGA person than, “Black men can fuck your women better than you.”
“Cuck porn” may have been too broad. I’m not saying they invented cuck porn, nor interracial porn, etc…etc… Only that I believe they may have seen it as a potential wedge to promote in their information efforts, particularly when accompanied by weirdly divisive, aggressive messaging.
I could also be wrong/crazy, and I wouldn’t bet anything important on it, but I figured it was a fun one to throw out there, given the question.
I’ve been saying this for at least 12 years now. 4chan has always been an interesting case study. There was (I haven’t been back to look in years) also the curious war on /d/ over eastern/western art with Dimitry’s works being accepted as eastern due to being Russian. Which fair enough, yea Russia is in Asia, but that’s not really the point. The point was creating positive association between dopamine mining (porn) and Russia for people who felt marginalized for their interests. That Bannon specifically pointed to 4chan as a vector for radicalization, well… It’s very interesting that so many interests that almost exclusively thrived on 4chan rose into mainstream acknowledgement around 2016.
This was all furthered on Reddit in the more offbeat porn-focused subs with blatant intrusions of racially charged ideas into any and all genres they could find but with a special attention paid to anything that repeatedly fetishized a loss of control/personal responsibility/agency (cuckoldry, hypnotism, coercion, etc)
Getting those messages tangled into things people have fetishized and generally felt shameful about is a hell of a way to hijack dopamine to create a false positive association between the ideas and the act.
In a way, we might have to feel gratitude toward OnlyFans models, Tumblr users, and maybe just gen-Z as a whole, for reframing a lot of those same interests in a more sex positive and silly manner - to the degree that it is not uncommon to see a blue collar working class man making light of himself wearing panties as daily wear on Instagram. Not exactly niche and shameful now is it?
Ah, I know what you’re getting at. Honestly, it sounds incredibly plausible. 4chan’s porn has always been…off.
That the governments of the world actively encourage conspiracy theories because in general they foster a belief that they are significantly more competent than they actually are.
Also when “conspiracy theory” automatically reads as “bullshit” to everyone, actual conspiracies get looked at less.
And to remind everyone “conspiracy” is just a plan by two or more people to commit a crime. A much more mundane term than what it’s current connotations would suggest.
Jackie Kennedy had JFK killed. She had Marilyn Monroe killed first as a warning to stop fooling around, he didn’t listen… and a year later…
After it happened she was emotionally devastated, because she SPECIFICALLY ASKED THEM not to make a mess of her outfit. That was a $200 jacket and those stains are NOT coming out with club soda.
And $200 in 1963 is like $2,000 today!
Macron did the Notre Dame Fire to draw attention away from the Yellow Vest Protests.
I always find it amusing to think that one builder somewhere decided to spark up a blunt and utterly fucking destroyed one of the most culturally significant buildings in the entire world, and probably only he knows he did it
Most disasters, fires, mass shootings, etc that you see on the news are actually created by the News organizations themselves in order to grab people’s attention. Those news vans you see driving around, those are sabotage squads going around committing all the violence. How else do you think they’re able to get on the scene so quick to report the news? They’re literally creating the news themselves. WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!
(I don’t actually believe this, it was an idea for a short story I had at one point though)
Sounds like something someone who cries about gay frogs and sells dick pills would say…
It’s time that we admit to deaf people that music isn’t real. The joke has gone too far.
Do you mean conspiracies we believe or conspiracies about us?
Andrew Tate it’s an illuminati…
Proof? Source?
That’s the point there is no proof that’s why it’s a conspiracy…
That’s not what a conspiracy is. A conspiracy is a bunch of people working together in secret to do something illegal. A conspiracy theory is when you put a bunch of seemingly random or unrelated facts together and they give the impression of a conspiracy causing something to happen.
You can’t just say “dogs can smell the color blue” and call it a conspiracy theory.
You need to have something to back it up. Even if it’s not hard proof, there needs to be a string of coincidences or suspicious actions or something.
So what makes you think Andrew Tate is an illuminatus? That’s where the meat of a good conspiracy theory is - form your answer to “why do you think that?”
I believe he just say a lot of stuff what he just get out of his ass, but at the same time what he say have some kind of weird sense… mysteriously he have been canceled and the media system make him look like a sexual abuser, but when you see videos of important shit his points seem valid. It looks like he is just in the middle between “god” and “devil”.
Some kind of “hookers and Bugattis” speech but with some truth in the middle of the noise.
Nope, nope nope nope.
Hes a chinless incel who wants people to think he’s smart.
Worked on you, I guess. Nothing he says makes sense to a rational human being.
mysteriously he have been canceled and the media system make him look like a sexual abuser
Hmmmm I wonder why??
It looks like he is just in the middle between “god” and “devil”.
LOL
Blocked. I recommend others do the same. This person is bringing nothing positive to your lemmy experience.
