Racial carbohydrate diet. You should eat the carbs that match your ancestors DNA.
I think something cataclysmic happened during the Younger Dryas period and we may never know what but it’s not coincidence there are multiple flood myths that evolved independently. Also, I think humans have been around longer than we realize and we’re in another iteration of the same course of evolution waiting to get out of our Fermi loop.

Paul McCartney died in a car crash in 1964 and was replaced by someone who turned out to be a way better song writer.
The way literature is taught in school is designed deliberately to make people hate reading + studying the subtext and paratext.
By forcing kids to read books that aren’t just old, but were written by 40 year olds for other 40 year olds, and then mandating them write reports about the symbolism of a book they didn’t even want to read in the first place, you ensure that like 80% of people will inherently associate reading and interpreting media with every negative emotion at once.
Meanwhile you look at fandom dorks on every site and you see how invested on themes and subtext they are, and you realise people kinda naturally want to overthink media… Provided they like that media.
But people who can read subtext and understand it are less susceptible to propaganda. So.
This one resonates with me. I fucking love science fiction, and when they forced me to read The Giver, the closest they every got to science fiction, I actually enjoyed it. And then the rest of the time I hated it all.
If I had actually been given the chance to read some good science fiction, I would have been reading a lot more as a kid.
Damn. Good one.
When you buy crisps sometimes there’s just… hardly any seasoning on them?? I’m talking crisps like Doritos or BBQ Beef Hula Hoops. There can be a massive difference with the amount of seasoning between batches and I’m sure they do it on purpose to make you buy more of them so you can get that really well seasoned batch you loved again lol. i don’t actually believe this but I’d be interested to know why
- they also taste overly dried out
Local parking companies are getting rid of pay machines and forcing apps and QR codes on people so that it’s less convenient to pay. They know people will have trouble so then they can fine people who are “non-compliant”.
Apps and web sites can also apply custom pricing based on the individual’s ability to pay. Payday? The parking spot costs more.
I like this because the app would also tell them exactly where to come look for the offenders car.
Cats have a much more complex understanding of human behaviour and just consider us harmless and boring enough to not bother.
As in your cat totally understands that your keyboard is special in a way and you don’t want it disturbed, but couldn’t give two shits about your wants. Or completely being aware of how unpleasant it is when they sit on you with their butthole in your face, but why not if that’s what they want to do right now?
I think this is real and that most (not all) cats are smarter and more selfish than we think
Dogs are waaaaay more aware than most people seem to think. I think it’s true of most animals. We just don’t like to think about it.
This. My dog knows words that I didn’t teach him. I know people talk about pattern recognition and what not but that’s not all that different than human knowledge. I learn words by hearing them repeated too
I know how to read his body language and the tone of his barks to know what he wants. He will even show me, if I ask him.
I suspect he understands a lot more than I am capable of deciphering as well.
I stayed out later than normal one time and missed one of my dog’s walks. He tore up a newspaper while staring at me. Rip, rip, rip. He knew I spent time looking at newspapers so he chose to destroy one, while heavily implying that if I fucked up his schedule again he would rip ME up.
Aw, I can’t help but be on his side.
Dogs brains activate the same regions when the see human faces that activate in our brains. These same regions don’t activate in dogs to anything like the same degree when they see other dogs.
Dogs are far more in tune with us that they are with their own species.
Some of the oldest human archaeological sites have dog remains among the humans. Domestication of the dog was going on far far earlier than the first evidence we have for domestication of the first food species.
We have evolved together as two mutually symbiotic species.
I agree, but that’s not a conspiracy. Scientifically speaking, we know that animals are smarter than most people admit.
The conspiracy here is that cats are not just smarter than we think but actually one of the smarter animals in general and they are also very internal and just don’t care about us so they don’t exhibit it in ways that we recognize.
Some cats are extremely smart and very devious (looking at you, mother’s cat) and some are. Well. I love them. But I’ve met cats that absolutely had nothing going on upstairs, not a single thought in their little brains.
That’s rare though! Most are pretty smart and know how to convince us to do everything for them! And I always will do my best for them.
cats that absolutely had nothing going on upstairs, not a single thought in their little brains.
Ah, so you’ve met a Persian cat. Pretty cats, but at what cost?
I think Vince Neil of Motley Crue got a ridiculously short sentence for drunk driving manslaughter because his record company bought off the judge so that they could make money off him performing. I suspect a lot of famous people have that happen.
JFK’s head just…did that.
I’m convinced JFK is an opsec trick. There’s nothing suspicious at all but if someone says that have a secret source about info the government hides and then mentions JFK, the agents investigating can drop it there because the know this guy is yakking out his ass.
I’m not saying there was candy inside, but did you see how she scrambled?
Back when reddit had awards, the admins would routinely award posts to make it appear like people were actually buying them.
I thought this was common knowledge.
I got awarded gold by a mod that told me they were gifted a certain number of awards from Reddit to give out (I believe they said they got 15).
The same mod also claimed that gold-gifted responses were given prioritized visibility.
Microsoft deliberately fucks with your video and audio drivers before a big update so you have to reboot
This isn’t a conspiracy, it is a proven fact.
I don’t disagree, but I’d like some more info and/or sources.
Does anyone have a source on this? It’s 100% believable but I’m not turning anything up and this seems like something worth knowing more about
Every year the government takes 1 hour away from every American with the implementation of Daylight savings time. They return the hours to each American in the fall. However, in between March (when the hours are taken) and November (when the hours are returned) over 2 million Americans die, and don’t get their hours returned to them, or their estates. This happens every. single. year.
What is the government doing with all of these stockpiled hours of dead Americans?
Before people started measuring time, a day was a day. People worked when they felt like it and stopped before it got dark.
When we started quantifying time, it didn’t take long before time suddenly became a commodity. All of a sudden bosses would pay by the “hour”, and no longer by what they got in return.
Then, they started regarding the hours that they paid for as “theirs”, demanding workers to keep breaks short or peeing in bottles.

I love when I see stuff like this online. As if farming is some luxurious fun time denied us by corporations.
I lived in a subsistence farming community in West Africa for a couple years. Farming isn’t easy or fun.
People woke up before the sun every.single.day to go tend to the fields. They stopped working when they were exhausted from being out in the sun all day, or when they were finished with the field. The crops and the weeds grow when they want, not when you want.
If it didn’t rain enough, they might starve, or their children might starve. Maybe both. The backbreaking farm labor was literally a gamble with their lives. Occasionally someone would get whacked by a tool and have to ask friends and relatives to farm their crops for them, often at a cost of some of that grain later. If that injury got infected, there’s extra days or weeks you’re asking someone else to do extra work to cover for you, and you owe them for this.
Everyone harvested crops at about the same time, flooding the market. But people also didn’t just want to eat millet alone and wanted things like cooking oil or salt they had to buy. So being strapped for cash, they were forced to sell a lot of harvest up front because they simply couldn’t afford to wait any longer for basic needs.
I can go on and on, but if you think being a farmer is so wonderful and amazing, I would encourage you to go do some WWOOFing and spend a few months on a farm and actually doing a real farmer’s schedule and not some up at 9, done at 2:30 schedule.
Farming? I was talking about data engineering.
I don’t think they said farming was fun, and I’m also not sure that you lived on a farm “before people started measuring time” 🤷🏾♂️

Big Time conspiracy. I love it.
All brains should aspire to work like your brain.
Obviously those hours are taken back by the babies with the balls to be born after the redistribution.
Those two million all happened to be born after daylight savings time but before the hours are returned. So they get to live with an extra hour.
When they die it cancels out thus the Big Time Bowl doesn’t overflow or run dry.
They use them to farm the adrenechrome babies
huh?
Wait… when is this happening?
That NASA has done a zero-gravity intercourse experiment.
The 50th shuttle mission had married couple and it included spacelab. A pressurized and habitable module that could be isolated from the rest of the crew. Even before launch they were asked if it would happen, and denied it, as NASA has afterwards as well.
It doesn’t help that several of the listed experiments was about human health, developmental biology and included animals and eggs to study ovulation, fertilization, cell division and growth.
Now that you bring it up, of course we’ve studied whether babies can be made in a spaceship. It’s literally the only other option for interstellar travel besides cryogenic freezing, which is far more sci-fi than spacesex. Or spacex for short.
Any generational ship will mutiny within one generation and likely die off by the second
Interstellar travel is a pipe dream made up by people tired of saving what we already are losing
I think the only reason to even try a generational ship is if it’s literally all we have.
We can’t even keep the most prosperous nation on the planet from falling to fascism in 5 years how the FUCk do you think we’re gonna keep an isolated crew of highly intelligent people with access to the highest tech available?
I know enough about human nature that the only way this works is if it started as a die-hard authoritarian religious movement and even then I only give it 1 out of 4 chances of making it 100 years into the mission
The breeding fetish makes so much more sense now. Barf.
Ooh, I do like this one.
But why the secrecy?
You don’t understand how sexually conservative the world was back then
They still won’t let them have ANY alcohol in the US section of the ISS.
Paying astronauts to bump uglies with tax dollars could cause a bit of a controversy.
