I think that humans have to have a certain level of non-reality based fears.
Back in the day, werewolves and vampires were enough.
As technology advanced, it was UFOs.
Now it’s Jewish Space Lasers and Woke Transwomen in bathrooms.
Or simply a boeing 737, these can crash anywhere…
No, that one is real.
Everyone knows the real thing to be afraid of is quicksand.
This makes me think. By now, werewolves and vampires are mythological beings we use as entertainment and find great joy in discussing even though we know they’re not real. Hundreds of years from now, maybe popular culture (D&D 86e or something) will be filled with Jewish Space Lasers.
Larry Niven once wrote a story with the throwaway line “the Berlin Nazis football team.”
I was a little miffed the first time I read it, but eventually I got the idea that in the future, Nazis are as scary as pirates and raiders and Spartans are today.
I saw a UFO at about noon when in my backyard once.
GPS, ocean floor mapping from space, the confirmation of
rougerogue waves from monitoring bouys.Hate those blushing waves. Seeing that wall of red come at you is life altering
My bad, spelling mistake.
It just got shy from all the history channel documentaries about it. Soon people will forget and it can go back to stealing ships
I have assumed it was because of traditional shipping channels going through there so pirates and criminals would be waiting to intercept cargo ships in the area. Like highwayman waiting along the road outside of the range of the police of nearby towns or cities. Ships disappear so people make up stories about why.
Just came from Bermuda. Can confirm they have triangles there too
