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

        Conspiracy theorist don’t think NASA and other orgs are ridiculously well funded. They just have near-zero concept of the scale of costs for the things that they claim. Innumeracy is a prerequisite for conspiracy theory beliefs.

    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…

          I see my comment flew over your head, although I appreciate all the info you shared. It’s just that the sun doesn’t deliver Watts per year or per second. The Watt is a unit of power and as such is already energy per time. Watts/year is a nonsense unit, at least in this context.

      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.

      Nazis, there’s a conspiracy theory that they built a secret compound there to do ??? (Nazis shit), fled to that place that is still undiscovered to that day so, obviously still working.

      I didn’t know they would be equal to deep state.

      The reality is that those cumslain trumptards are mistaking the former Soviet Vostok base with a secret nazi base.

        No, you missed the best part of the conspiracy theory! They moved to Antarctic base in order to secretly develop and build UFO-like discs (Die Glocke) and that’s why operation HighJump failed! Nazi UFOs!! They’re gonna kill us all or something!!

              Honestly yes, but to be taken for what it is, a voluntarily dumb SciFi movie.

              From memory, the special effects were good, and for the story well… Hidden Nazi base on the moon with Nazis UFO and Nazi T-Rex.

              It is exactly as it sound, dumb so a must see for pop culture.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      The word is Nazi, there is a conspiracy theory that Hitler and the Nazis fled to Antarctica. Some even say that at the poles are portals which lead inside the Earth, where they still life under a black sun. Crazy right? I still try to figure out how they manage to live inside a flat earth. Could also not figure out if Hitler is on the moon our dark sunbathing. But I think the moon is more realistic, think about it, you just have to replace the S and the A in NASA and you get Nazi. If that’s not a proof enough that crocodiles are our leaders I can’t help you anymore.
