I'd be scared too if I failed high school science. I mean... that was my favorite subject.

Isn’t school designed to break children down and get them used to a 9-5 job so that they won’t ask questions later on?

unfortunately it's a somewhat reasonable fear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentation_in_the_United_States

They actually believe state funded public school science classes are a lie and a part of the greater conspiracy to control us.

I once had a workman show up half hour late because he had to "avoid driving under a chemtrail" and that was the first I'd heard of them.
arfysdad
I don't think I'd want an idiot working on anything in my house.
It blew my mind that he thought you can "drive around" chemicals dispersed at 26,000ft by taking a right at the lights instead of a left.
JoeHerine
Do not underestimate fear. Many highly educated people fear 'chem trails' too. Education and access to information is not enough.

I’m not seeing I believe in chem trails. But we did try to make it rain more in the Vietnam War with cloud seeding allegedly.
TheWarHymn
Why would you want it to rain more in a place that already rains a lot?
I've seen it for seven years now; the planes fly over, the clouds gather. I'm not afraid of "chem" trails in the slightest but they're real.

The guy who said it makes frogs gay. Isn't he promoting him self as unconventional reporter fighting for freedom?

You know why you're not at qanon? Because I graduated high school?

Relax!

I had a guy lecture me about these. When I asked for proof they were trying to hurt us, he said “The Internet.” I was not surprised.
BrozayRico
High school didn't teach me this scary crap
Nacon
That's because your school got canceled due to COVID19. duh.
Ah yes of course
SmokyDoggg
Oh so that's what's turning the frogs gay right?

These scare me a bit, but not due to frigging conspiracy theories, but because of how they can contribute to climate change.
Andtheworldwentwhite
These are mostly water but they are a sign of planes which are definitely contributing to climate change and climate change is terrifying.
OrionRed
I want you to know... on 9/11, when they grounded all the planes... the dudes on Australia that measure solar radiation by filling large...
tubs of water and measuring how much they evaporate... had a 2% increase. The albedo went down enough to make a 2% difference!

My friend doesn't get it. Can someone explain it to me so I can tell her, please?
embodymentofgattaca
Basically - Chemtrails aren't real. Qanon believers are uneducated, don't understand basic science, and believe made up stuff.
What's a chemtrail? She asks
Condensation trails are just water vapor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail Some conspiracy theorists believe there are mind control >
chemicals in the trails planes make. It's nonsense.
TheIronPenguin
It's a conspiracy theory that the contrails after airplanes are harmful chemicals being released by the "powers in charge", to (1)
control mankind, reduce the population or flat out wipe mankind out. Who the "powers in charge" are depends on who you ask, and the same (2)
goes for what the goal is. (3)
Ah now she understands! You can fly away now. Get it? Fly away!
aerosols / chemicals released into the atmosphere by airplanes. and yes, they're real. see: solar radiation management (SRM)
side note: the picture here is a contrail (condensation) from a "sputtering" turbine. there is no chemtrail appearing in this picture
krapmyself
It scares me because I have nephophobia.
megamufn1
Thank you for teaching me a new word
Yoyorazer
You are scared of NEil Patrick Harris?
DesmondHawkins
I think I'm not alone in saying my AP physics class never told me about contrails. I had to engage and learn separately from school for that
But did they teach you how to learn on your own? What a credible source was? How to recognize an expert in their field?
No, they didn't teach stuff like that in school. Obedience through tedium was the thing. Star Trek was where I got my curiosity.
I think the first time I did actual science was in college physics. Experiment, notation, scrutiny... we were told about that but not taught
Man, that sucks. I was in school a long time ago, and my love of science and literature began in elementary school. Around 50 years ago.
My literature education was great. Bibliography creation and source synthesis has been very helpful for my computer science education

When you’re stupid, it’s easy to believe in conspiracy theories because you’re too dumb to comprehend simple things
PoppaBigBear
They want to feel smarter than everyone else and think everyone but them are brainwashed.

There was a study were found a correlation between people who are unhappy with their life and the probability of believing conspiracies
VaultGirl69
There's a vacuum in this country from the decades of education defunding that's being filled with nonsense political conspiracies.

I think u underestimate the number of ppl that have a lower IQ then 100 and can't do any abstract thinking, common sense doesn't make sense
jchphd
Exactly 50% of the population has an IQ below 100. Some can do abstract reasoning and some who are above 100 are not so good at it.
Still, the percentage that cannot is greater in the lower half.
ElvisCatStello
Luckily my brother seems to have calmed down a little bit but he almost drove us off the rode once checking out chem trails.

Dunning-Kruger Effect. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority. You see examples again and again in the current POTUS.
Dinos91
And they make you feel superior
nigglemaster
Stupid is as stupid does.
Leithoa
This is at the heart of it so much more than IQ. It's just being 'in the know' & the exclusive club of people who 'see how it really is'
Nikagor
Yeah the Zealots, being the only one who is "smart enough" to understand it, their stupidity however makes them easy to weed out...
All you really need to ask them is "what would change your mind" and watch them struggle to answer or come up with something done allready
thisiskissel
And then there are people who know they’re false but use them for power—the worst kind of people.

westinpeace
True true, the scope of that veers way into conspiracy theory land. But Russia has meddled to his benefit and that’s a fact. 1/2
2/2 nothing solid to indicate Trump being in on it but that really did go down.
Pee pee gate is funny/plausible. It’s scary how many people willingly believe the ridiculousness that is Pizza Gate.
Anyone with strong feelings about Trump liking golden showers is also an idiot. I’d like to believe it but who cares...
goodboyollie
I enjoy conspiracy theories. I don’t believe them but I enjoy them

Me too! Conspiracy theories is like entertainment to me.
I’m so happy I’m not alone on that!

Russians are secretly supporting global warming denialism because it will help convert Siberia into farmable land! [/conspiracy]
Well I do dream of one being true, UFOs cos I want one I want to explore the universe, love scifi but yeah I don't believe in it but enjoyin
Yes!! I definitely want aliens to be real. A lot of conspiracy theories I have seen are about the gov from 1960-1980 and I’m like... aliens
YayItsMillerTime
Plus clapping alien cheeks
Toomanytimes
Hmm. Would that be akin to beastiality?
I just love the idea of clasping alien cheeks as opposed to clapping human cheeks. I wouldn’t make it sexual, just awkward
notleftshark
Depends on if you fuck the alien dog or the alien flying the ship
gabewalker10
Well, humans exploit every single living thing on this planet. It's safe to think aliens would do the same to us.
Well maybe if they are a type 2 civilization they might think differently about exploiting and know its a bad thing that can't last
Type 2 civilization??
Wear us, kill us for fun, food, sport, eat us, cafe us, from bacteria to whales, every living thing is utilized for humans use
