Fact Checking a Tiktok conspiracy slideshow

[@app_manifestation]

believing in conspiracy theories usually winds up becoming like modding fallout new vegas, you add so many mods to it that eventually it just crashes and doesnt work anymore

The QR code thing bothers me far to much, since they aren't some magical thing that appeared one day. We have documentation of who invented them and when, as well as documentation of how they work and the different versions of the standard.

[@TheLeky98]

My favorite part about conspiracy theorists is that they tell you not to believe everything you see on the internet while simultaneously believing everything they see on the internet

[@FL0ra_favvn]

Ong man. They really don't have critical thinking skills, do they?

[@sicksickBacon]

and they use words like "sheep" or "sheeple" to describe people who kinda just follow society. i find it pretty ironic considering they're just following people who believe the president is a lizard.

The plug rock is even funnier when you ask yourself a very simple question... _WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO PLUG A ROCK INTO ANYTHING!?_

[@SofosProject]

I heard about it years ago, and figured the implication was that the plug was discarded a long time ago, and the rock formed around it.

[@soup988unkind]

The rock isn't even a type of rock that would be able to have something stuck in it like that it's metamorphic so it would have melted the plug during formation 💀

Ayy, we got a geologist in here! Better get the obsidian knives ready. ​@@soup988unkind

Oh come on you don’t have the new hands free electric rock? I thought all the kool kids have electric rocks. They make life much easier. With the hands free version it is so convenient. But I have been looking to trade in mine for the new ones, they are WiFi and Bluetooth enabled.

[@Yezpahr]

Mine was signed by The Rock himself. He makes these, you know? Fishes them out his toilet bowl and sells them on E-Bay. Does anybody know how safe the supplied converter is? I'm kinda afraid to use it and plug it into my European net.

[@Omnywrench]

A couple of points I wanted to add on: 1: Regarding the giant "preflood trees"; I think this might be a reference to a conspiracy I stumbled across once about how there are no "real" trees. Basically, it claims that some modern-day mountains, islands, and plateaus are actually the petrified stumps of gigantic trees that grew miles high thousands of years ago, and would house entire cities and civilizations in their trunks, roots, and branches. But then they were all cut down and destroyed by some unknown agents with highly advanced technology (it's Jews; it's always the Jews), and now the "trees" we see are mere saplings. It's utterly absurd but if you strip away the anti-semitism, it could make a pretty kickass setting for a fantasy story. 2: For those wondering about the guy with the horn growing out the back of his head, this is a case of what are called "cutaneous horns", an uncommon type of skin tumor consisting mostly of keratin (the same material your fingernails are made of) that grows out from the skin in a conical horn shape, though they rarely grow larger than a centimeter. Their exact cause is unknown but it's theorized they're likely caused by radiation/sun exposure, cellular aging, and/or HPV. They can either be benign or malignant, but either way they can be surgically removed.

[@scarlettthefox]

The amount of times I have seen blockheads take art pieces (fake taxidermy, sculptures, multimedia, art dolls, anything realistic) and turned it into some kind of "100% REAL LIFE BULLSHIT" is insane.

I'm from Bosnia and I have never heard of the Bosnian pyramids before TikTok. If it was truly something ancient and significant we would go visit them on school trips or family trips or at least have heard of them. But we don't because they're just pointy hills. I see tons of them while driving to see my grandma

[@keago2]

Important to note that the man with the horn growing out of his head was a real person, and that is a real condition. I think it’s bone that grow out of the back of the skull

[@FL0ra_favvn]

Doctor help I have a bone growing out if the back of my skull. Mmmm yes, I diagnose you with bone out of the back of the skull disease. Do you have a cure? ...no.

[@copheemoth]

there is a condition that can create a horn-looking formation on your head, but it's not true bone and it's made of keratin. i think it's called cutaneous horn. it might also be a kind of wart

[@gmhs2]

@@copheemoth Yeah that's correct, it's the same material used in hair and fingernails. It's very rare and there's a whole host of similar issues that occasionally pop up when the body makes the wrong material. The scariest is the extremely rare disorder that slowly converts the muscles to bone.

[@concept5631]

​@@gmhs2 Yeah you have to constantly work out if you have that bone condition.

[@Naixatloz]

@@concept5631 My understanding is that the thing that triggers bone growth in that condition is damage to the muscles, and since exercise causes microtears to muscles, you absolutely would NOT want to excessively work out if you had stone man disease.

[@Wimbleknob]

2:34 One time, my dad sent me to picl up a case of CDs/DVDs from a lady on FB Marketplace. When I was checking the case and passed by Avatar, she started going on and on about how mountains and mesas were all ancient trees. She knew they were ttees because the sedimentary lines were "actually" the concentric dating lines from trees. I got stuck listening to this lady go on for like 30 minutes, because i just couldn't believe she actually thought it was real 😂

[@yourlocalb2spirit]

my stepdad is a conspiracy theorist, thinks basically everything to do with space isnt real and has got my mom believing that shit too

[@Brass319]

and then when you look it up online and find out that NASA never posted an image of mars with a rat on it in the background and tell them about it you get linked multiple 8 hour long video "documentaries". Honestly it's kind of impressive how they manage to make them that long without the slightest bit of actual substance.

[@isabellastokes5099]

4:26 I also love that this image is likely a statue of the Buddha(the head is at the very least the same as the ones I see) which implies that 1. The ancient Egyptians somehow knew about an Indian guy a long time before he came around and 2. Somehow cared enough about him despite having their own belief system different to his to put his statue in their supposed temple

[@TheFunniBaconMan]

In the Grand Canyon

[@isabellastokes5099]

That too

[@Brass319]

well yeah obviously ancient Egyptians invented Buddhism and established an outpost in the Grand Canyon using their UFOs and the aliens covered up all the evidence and that's why there's no evidence period what do you mean "if there's no evidence how can you be sure" of course I can be sure it's the truth

I actually really like the idea the Mayans used to buy cool rainbow LED lights from a online mexican tech website to hang around the place. Perhaps some JBL speakers to blast some sweet tunes while they offer a dudes blood to the gods.

[@Martin-hb4il]

The underground city was used to hide during war (but also from the Sun), and the guy with the horn on the back of his head is actually real, it’s a wart like growth, similar to the (tree-man).

[@pacifagrant8152]

Okay quick correction: the Bible doesn't actually say there's Giants. What it does say is that the sons of Seth started relationships with the daughters of Cain. Due to some weird translation stuff it's often confused with giants

[@rickcharlespersonal]

The Bible does mention that giants inhabited the Land of Milk and Honey (Israel) when Moses was leading the Israelites into their Promised Land. Goliath in the story of David and Goliath is also described as a giant. So there are in fact literal giants mentioned in the Bible.

[@anthonycurby4606]

Also daughters of man and the sons of god, meaning the angels. Not seth and cains lines.

[@landland9056]

Ancient underground city slide show: what were they hiding from? Me: isn't easier to dig underground than build up? Like a mountain base in minecraft? Slormp: The sun? Me: Oh I'm just stupid

[@dr.cheeze5382]

It's entirely reasonable to say it's both. I don't know why people always say it has to be one thing or another.

[@RafaCB0987]

You are not wrong, there are a of reasons to do something, hiding from the sun on a house that can be easily made by simple escavating the rock is a really good one

[@ssfbob456]

I was drawn in by the red arrow of clickbait. Also, of all the mythical creatures people want so badly to be real, why giants? They're just tall people, thats boring. I say we bring back dragons. Dragons are awesome. Depending on what kind we're talking about, they can fly, breath fire or ice, use magic, all kinds of cool stuff.

[@trashwebsite_user01]

Lol i saw that vishnu statue in mumbai as a kid... are people really that ignorant of historical art that they cant tell Egyptian art from Indian Art??? It looks nothing like an egyptian statue!

[@SirDucky2000]

3:39 not to mention that they are saying and EGYPTIAN pyramid is in AMERICA with a statue of BUDDHA

[@Yezpahr]

The level of snark is over 9000 BCE. A breath of fresh air. The plug in the rock really felt like it was an art piece as homage to Dr. Seuss. You can imagine Seussian Tech as stuff that holds no visible possible purpose but ultimately has a braindead simple function that only children could think of. This rock with a plug could be the equivalent of hot water in a rubber jug that old people take to bed for their feet (-edit: In a Dr. Seuss world).
