    That would make for a banger of a sci-fi setting, all it needs now is life-sucking half bug aliens and Jason Momoa.

        And make sure to get David Hewlett and Joe Flanigan as well.

      Maybe the real Atlantis is the friends we made along the way

    Thinking about that post about how conspiracy theorists would make amazing fantasy writers if they just stopped pretending their bullshit was real…

    While you’ve got the lid off the blender…

    The rock at the top of Mt. Everest is marine limestone. It still has fossils embedded from when it was 20k feet under sea level.

    New idea just hit me like a ton of bricks. Growing up in the 70s and 80s, cryptids like the Nessie and Bigfoot were, at least, plausible. Places like the Bermuda Triangle were feared and paranormal visitors like ghosts and poltergeists were a common topic in pop culture.

    All of that died overnight with the proliferation of the internet and digital cameras. Sure, those beliefs are still around, but you’re not going to see mainstream TV shows about them.

    This new round of BS, ideas like Atlantis, alien pyramid builders, ocean faring civilizations living in mud huts and yet building wonders on other continents, all that, are the replacements for easily debunked ideas like Thunder Birds.

    While we’re at it, sovcits were a joke in the day, but they actually seem to be gaining traction. Guess people need crazy ideas to believe in, to feel “in the know” and superior. Funny how education removes that need…
