Doveland, Wisconsin isn't a thing: I've spent 40 years here and never heard of it. I grew up near Shawano, spent years in Oshkosh and still live in the Fox Cities. Also, my dad was in a very popular oldies rock n roll band and has played in numerous town fairs and countless bars, bowling alleys, weddings, supper clubs, class reunions and was even on a parade float in Minocqua. If he's never heard of it, it doesn't exist. There are far better mysteries in Wisconsin: the town of Shawano has been infiltrated by a cult that's buying up all the property in the town in order to drive off the locals. They've chased off news crews with shotguns. They bought up a motel and allegedly started hosting orgies/swinger parties at said motel. There is a baby death connected to them-the baby supposedly froze to death after being left in a car in the dead of winter. They even released a "hit list" of Shawano business owners and community leaders. They released it by leaving it at the county courthouse. My sister was on that list, and she sold her business and changed careers because of these kooks. The craziest part is that Shawano is like 15 minutes away from somewhere called Tigerton Falls, where a cult leader horrifically killed several of his disciples in the 1970s. There was a flap of UFO sightings near Mosinee, WI in the early 1990s. I also had some weird lights/sleep-walking/missing time strangeness during this time period. I think Wisconsin is just a magnet of weirdness. I think it's all of the granite.

“One of the most prominent characters in Chris Chan lore” is not a sentence I thought would start off my morning

[@thishandleistacken]

Thoth 93 is certainly a Thelemite. I was one for 10 years till I left it. 93 is the number Thelemites use to identify each other as well as the unicursal hexagram which appears in the video shown. Thoth, of Egypt, is also important to Thelemic lore. Lots of Thelemites end up insane (I nearly did) so it's not surprising there's some Thelemite posting madness on KZbin. For those wondering Thelema is the occult system developed by Aleister Crowley. Those colored squares are from Enochian Magick. There's a lot of stuff referenced and all of it is Thelemic

[@thishandleistacken]

@bathory harker My pleasure. There's so much disinformation about Thelema and Crowley out there and even though I've moved on from both and don't jive with much of that stuff anymore I try and be an objective voice who can answer questions and give out info that isn't conspiracy nonsense. Even did a lot of the writing for the OTO's, Ordo Templi Orientis, Wiki page (was a member for nearly a decade) and was able to stay objective and focus on the history rather than the many many reasons I left.

[@NightDawnDusk]

Damn, and I just like minecraft

[@thishandleistacken]

@@NightDawnDusk A lotta people in the OTO do too :P Thelemites, Masons and esoteric folk of all kind are just people there's really nothing all that otherworldly about it all the real aspects of Magick are personal and are more likely to be encountered following your passions be it playing music or dancing or yoga or whatever than spending years studying Enochian Magick or The Goetia. You'll probably get more out of Minecraft than out of Thelema, straight up if it sparks your imagination and allows you to enter a flow state that's basically half the work done to having a mystical experience. The experience of having my black cloak and wand in a bag as I took the metro to my OTO Temple was surreal and felt kinda cool at first but over time I realized it was also silly. Minecraft can be your wand and roleplaying in a server can be a ritual. It's all in your mind and how you process reality, that's all occultism is in the end. If you're really looking for insights into the secrets of the universe study physics (actual physics not the hippy stuff) and classical philosophy like Plotinus, Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Spinoza and so on. Occult literally is just a word for "hidden" (not hidden as kept from the public but in a more subtle way like the stuff that's hidden from base consciousness... understanding something like what relativity is and what space and time are in relation to relativity is occult just as much as a Thelemic ritual is... except relativity is based on reality ;) and with the internet there is nothing truly hidden anymore for those who go out seeking. The real challenge now is learning to separate meaningless noise from whatever it is that rings true to the little voice in your head that is always grasping to understand, evolve and become a wiser better person both for your own sake and for the sake of the journey itself. So much of the "occult" is outdated nonsense that is historically interesting but much of it reeks of pre-modern-science attempts to systematize reality, often in ridiculous ways. Einstein was on the right track when he said "I believe in Spinoza's God" and I can only imagine what insights an intellect like Einstein was able to achieve... probably more than Isaac Newton who secretly worked away at occult experiments along side physics... and likewise in a few hundred years what understandings the wisest of us now have will be seen as primitive. That's what I love about The Great Work... it doesn't matter how far you yourself go in unifying yourself with The Absolute, others will come in the future and do so in new and glorious ways. In current year we have so many ways to accomplish the goals of ancient mystics and all of it you can do from home with a little reading and self reflection. All occultism has the goal of "The Great Work" (though may call it different things like Gnosis) but to stick with calling it The Great Work Crowley defined it as "the uniting of opposites; it may mean the uniting of the soul with God, of the microcosm with the macrocosm, of the female with the male, of the ego with the non-ego" which yeh if you're dedicated enough to the pursuit of Truth there's no need for things like Thelema or the OTO anymore... you've got everything you could possibly need but many go nuts because there's just so much and 99.99% of it is distractions and delusions... which is why you get stuff like those silly videos that led me to leave the original comment. Rather than a secret society I now just have friends and lovers who are likewise interested in these things. I somewhat miss parts of the group ritual aspect of the OTO but I've talked to my friends about it and we might play around with the idea without taking it too seriously (taking things seriously is a major trap in occultism, it's all a delicate balance between not letting the ego get too seriously obsessed with the search and not letting the ego forget the search instead getting obsessed by whatever society has to offer as distractions) Speaking of Minecraft though someone recreated Boleskine House in Minecraft (Crowley's large cottage in Scotland, on Loch Ness of course (before any sightings of Nessie so local folk like to blame Crowley for the "monster" XD) and which Led Zepplin's Jimmy Page bought for a while as he was super into Crowley. Boleskine is where Crowley attempted to perform the frankly embarrassingly complex Ambremelin Ritual which is supposed to make you come into direct contact with your Guardian Angel. The kind of stuff described by that ritual I've experienced entirely sober just dancing at rave festivals for a few days in nature... other times not so sober but hey use the tools nature gives you, responsibly.

I've been following forgotten languages for years now. Here's my conclusion: I think forgotten languages is posting something called "theory-fiction", which is the term for writing that is half fiction and half philosophical/sociological essay. In the 90's there was a group of eccentric philosophers and sociologists that formed a think tank called the Cybernetic Cultural Research Unit that published surreal cyberpunk and occult themed essays. They even included an internal false lore about themselves. I think what you're seeing here is a group of academics (including some linguists evidently) creating their own theory fiction in conlangs to share with each other.

[@Vee_Sheep]

the does sound plausible, and pretty neat

[@soundwave631]

except the vast majority of what they are posting is not original. afaik they even said that they just run text through their language program and post the results. whats exceptionally odd is their selection of articles to run through. while many do resemble some of the fiction written by land and co., a majority seem to be reputable publications from actual journals. i highly recommend digging into the posts from TheCrawlerFL who was spooked off of the internet after putting in a FOIA request due to a classified cia document number being listed in the bibliography of one of their articles. (the request seems to have actually been recorded, despite claims from CIA record keepers, because the request is logged in the publicly available FOIA black vault)

[@Snst-404]

I see how the linguistics aspect of the site could be fun for some, just kinda disappointed for just having a program to translate it (if this is true, then) is really easy to just run a bunch of random text thru the translator and see what it comes up with, while some other conlangs have ways to evolve into more interesting languages

The cutscenes from brawl where the characters interacted were some of my favorite parts of the entire game and it makes total sense that it could be expanded.

[@amelialonelyfart8848]

"Longest piece of literature" belonging to fanfic never sat right with me because there are serialized works since the 1930s that are still going to this day, maybe some even older. Superman, the comic itself, has been in publication since the early 1940s to this very day, serialized, has probably surpassed it in sheer length by now. The reason why fanfic is counted and published works are often not because it's hard to justify a book over 1000 pages due to how expensive mass producing it would be. Digital works don't have that issue. If you count the collective word count of massive on-going franchises, it'll dwarf the fanfics.

[@watching7721]

@@amelialonelyfart8848 The issue is that they're issues or series. Not intended to be read as one long work. I consider those separate works, even with an ongoing storyline. That's why I don't consider "Marienbad My Love" to be on that list either

The area listed as a DUMB in SE Pennsylvania used to be called National Underground Security. It was a hue underground mine tat was used to store physical copies of government paperwork and also contained old govt servers. I worked there for about a year updating labels on computer tapes from the patent office. It was one of those old time data units where the data tapes are in a big sealed cylinder and the robot in the center reads color codes and grabs the right tape then inserts it into the tape drive.

I love accumulating information and insight of any kind on any subject. I've been in the depths of the internet, but there's still SO much to see. Here's something I can add: There was a band called Five Starcle Men, and to extremely simplify it, they were two guys who took DXM like everyday for a few years while also making music. There's an album(?) called Goomba Reject Ward that has a lot of their work. I found these guys from a post on the DXM subreddit like 7 years ago. I remember finding a video of a "live performance" but it was more like the weirdest music video I've ever seen. Plus who tf would go 😂. The music is...I don't even know.

[@ConvincingPeople]

It should probably be noted that tulpa (the Tibetan spelling of which is more like sprul pa) are actually a concept derived from Tibetan Buddhism, wherein, to make a long story short, they are manifestations of the compassion of the Buddha(s) summoned as guides to enlightenment through intense meditation and shaped by the disposition and mindstate of the summoner. The very online version is taken from the interpretation of the idea which appears in Theosophy and other weird niche New Age movements drawing on Tibetan Buddhist ideas, which generalises the concept of the tulpa to independent beings created and shaped through meditation and will. Funnily enough, I knew about the original definition from when I was little through the very strange children's book Tibet: Through the Red Box by Peter Sís, so when I found out they were something of an internet meme connected to ponies of all things, I was initially *very* confused. As for what I think now, well, I think it's mostly just nascent plurality and dissociation? Which is really interesting in its implications about how the human mind works, and could certainly have some interesting spiritual dimensions, but ultimately it's kind of its own thing outside of what is a fairly specific and rare religious practice.

[@thecatherd]

Yeah, as someone who's in plural circles (I have DID and practise healthy plurality). Tulpamancy is a term that a lot of people are trying to move away from since the Buddhists who practise it in the context of their closed religion have expressed discomfort with it becoming a widespread idea or phenomenon with a different connotation. There are still people who practise plurality by creating headmates/alters (either separate from DID/OSDD, or alongside it) under the term "thoughtforming". It is really interesting what the brain is capable of with enough dedication and willpower.

[@circuitboardsystem]

​@@thecatherd you cannot willingly create alters that's just called roleplaying. Trying to pretend or give urself DID or OSDD because you think it'll be fun and you want it or some glamorized version of it is insulting. There's no shame in simply roleplaying as your favorite characters or ocs and identifying with them.

[@ConvincingPeople]

@@circuitboardsystem The problem with this line of thinking is that undiagnosed dissociative disorders and experiencing dissociation as a function of other forms of mental illness or neurodivergence are not uncommon, so even if you take the stance that it is impossible to "willingly" dissociate in such a way as to produce an altered state of consciousness, that doesn't rule out the possibility of such an alter emerging in non-traumatic circumstances regardless of the root causes of that malleability of consciousness. Plus, the way that people frame these things can be ambiguous: Consider how many children develop imaginary friends, but sometimes that imaginary friend turns out to be more than that. None of this "glamourises" plurality, but merely recognises that how we interpret our experiences as people who dissociate vary. Note that I say this as someone who has experienced arguments between about five distinct people in my head before-co-consciousness and switching can be truly exhausting and even scary-so please don't assume I'm trying to sugarcoat matters.

[@circuitboardsystem]

​@@ConvincingPeople my comment keeps disappearing for some reason but go to the card called why-endos-are-bad ik the name sounds aggressive but the carrd isn't aggressive or rude it simply just states facts Also my point still stands on stop trying to give yourself effects of a disorder you don't have because it seems fun to you. It's insulting. Just roleplay there's no shame in roleplaying. People attempt to give themselves the effects of this disorder [which they can't do] because they want to and it seems fun to them then take up spaces for people that genuine have this disorder

[@ConvincingPeople]

@@circuitboardsystem There are points in this piece which are not unreasonable and I'd broadly agree with, but the framing leans hard into respectability politics territory which I honestly find really dangerous, in part because it presupposes a "solved" state for dissociative disorders based primarily in research by singlets who have historically seen total integration/final fusion as the ideal end goal of DID/OSDD treatment, and in part because of how it can impact people with undiagnosed dissociative disorders who might simply view their experiences differently for whatever reason but are nonetheless deserving of support. There are certainly some bizarre misconceptions which a very tiny minority of people seem to have, some perhaps rooted in other psychological disorders and other simply fanciful, but while dispelling these is likely necessary, I feel like attempting to gatekeep people who might simply be interpreting their condition differently-for example, people who cannot recall a particular inciting traumatic event as precipitating their plurality but, again, might remember having always had a complex internal dialogue-does more harm than good in the long run. To give a concrete example, I have met at least one person currently diagnosed with DID who first began to seriously question whether their experiences were more than simply a product of being on the autism spectrum following what they initially assumed to be a successful attempt at producing a thoughtform. Additionally, there are theories of mind which suggest that a unified self is not the starting point of human cognition, but rather than say that trauma is *absolutely necessary* to produce a multipartite sense of self, instead suggest that the self often continues to exist on a spectrum of compartmentalisation, with plurality or multiplicity existing at the extreme end of this compartmentalisation, and that while trauma no doubt encourages this, the underlying tendency prefigures it. That said, I'm not a neuroscience expert, so I'd advise reading up on this on your own. At the end of the day, though, I'm sympathetic to your frustrations with outsiders, as you see it, essentially doing hardcore LARPing under the guise of a disorder which directly impacts your day-to-day life. That fucking sucks. But at the same time, maybe it's because I spend a lot of time in very small, tight-knit circles of very specific plural people, but in terms of who I've met, that sort of person feels like more of a boogeyman meant to demonise us than an accurate portrayal of the few self-identified endogenous/non-traumagenic systems I've met-who I admit I'm not sure *are* non-traumagenic, but it's not my damned business to tell them how and why their brain works the way that it does.

The surveillance camera guy stuff got deleted for legal reasons. He has 18 court documents that I've found so far convicting him of stalking, harassment, voyeurism and criminal trespass. Most of those are obvious about what he was doing, but there's also something else. You can legally record someone in public without consent (most of the time), but when he focuses on a subject and then monetizes it with expressed opposition to it, that is also a crime. He also stated that it was his intent to film people against their will and intentionally aggravate them. So, in effect, his entire channel was himself posting evidence of his crimes. He mentions the reason he was filming to begin with was to show how people react differently to a person following them around filming and stores/cities security cameras. But that is not a very good argument. Majority of cameras are inside if private establishments that the person can willing enter and leave, while state or government owned cameras have very tight control and restrictions on how they can be used, so the comparison is minimum.

Lunar surface beyond earth is covered by dark rocky zones to the extent of two miles as per the sample taken from the moon's surface, during a critical maneuver in orbit, and landing on a proper spot. The astronaut cannot fly the spacecraft in real-time. Instead, he checks for changes while trying to avoid the spacecraft systems, and spacecraft is chosen like a pilot. The spacecraft cannot change spacecraft in the vacuum of space so that the astronaut can move like a shooting star. Rapid air in the spacesuit is needed, using the astronaut's equipment to avoid space sickness. Rapid movement of the suit is crucial, with control of the spacecraft as per the sun's rays and the sample taken. The spacecraft will fly like a fast aircraft with the pilot chosen and flying, producing important data such as speed and energy of the flying object. The astronaut will land like a real pilot, controlling and landing the spacecraft, planning important experiments and testing of the spacecraft can be done with the astronaut on the moon. The black satellite (ABL) is a high-energy laser weapon designed to be mounted on an aircraft Boeing 747 fuselage. It uses a high-energy chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) to direct intense light energy at a target on the ground, such as enemy missiles, to destroy or damage them in flight. The ABL is designed to operate in various weather conditions and against multiple targets by employing adaptive optics to counter atmospheric turbulence and enhance the laser's effectiveness. An enemy missile can be destroyed in midair within seconds. However, an enemy missile approaching can create its own heat source, such as engines and warheads, in large ballistic ranges. When the laser fires, it creates an intense beam of light and heat that causes the missile to break apart, burn, and explode with the release of energy and debris into the missile's flight path. The system can engage multiple missiles simultaneously."

regarding the longest fanfic, wasn't there a fanfic on ao3 that broke the site so much that it went down for like a few days? edit: well it's not the longest fanfic, however the amount of tags it had broke the site

[@chillfactory9000]

Sexy Times With WangXian? AO3 had to add a cap to how many tags you can put because of the fic.

[@undrsk0re]

@@chillfactory9000 oh my god there's a tumblr post where it says to zoom in on the tags of sexy times with wangxian and whatever you see first is how you die

I appreciate that when you don't understand something all the way, you just admit it. On the unknown languages thing in particular, I like that you pointed out that rumors and guess work have contributed negatively towards figuring out the answer.

[@autumn7719]

there's actually a longer fan fic called "Super Smash Bros Under Fire: The Great Adventure Saga", being over 7 million words!

I live in Wisconsin and have been my whole life with a lot of family on the northern and southern area and there’s no Doveland. If any folklore or legend we’re known most for is the creature called the Hodag which started in Rhinelander and is definitely more exciting than a made up area.

Ah, Tulpas! I remember I got into that scene about 7 years ago now, and I really fell in deep. Some people have written proper tomes to teach people how to make tulpas. I left that scene, and while I enjoyed my time there, I can see how it could really impact someone negatively if they let it get to them too badly. It involved a lot of introspective thought, and it's easy to miss the point I suppose, as some people took it as a way to completely avoid facing reality. It was really interesting, but overall I think having that information in the hands of a bunch of teens with unrestricted Internet access wasn't the best idea lol.

[@Solaire_of_Astora13]

No offense, but it definitely sounds like something that's done as a result of extreme loneliness. I can't see how it could be healthy in the long term, but to each their own...

[@haydenmaines5905]

​@@Solaire_of_Astora13 it was wrapped up in a lot of mysticism, references to Tibetan Buddhist monks developing tulpas, etc

[@Solaire_of_Astora13]

@@haydenmaines5905 yeah, I'm into Buddhism to some degree and I'm very sure tulpas are not imaginary friends you make up in your mind, because for starters, Buddhism goes against all of that. It is an evasion of reality of the highest order. The closest thing in Buddhism to it are those mind created bodies that help you fulfill some tasks when you have some degree of enlightenment, but those are weird psychic powers that are a fringe belief in some of the sects with supposedly tangible effects in reality and only achievable by the enlightened ones, not by lonely teenagers. I'm not saying this to be mean btw, I'm just genuinely worried about what's very obviously an unhealthy practice.

[@haydenmaines5905]

@@Solaire_of_Astora13 oh yeah no I agree it isn't actually like, following Buddhist belief. I first found out about tulpas when I was like 13 and found it somewhat interesting but never did anything about it. I was just saying they don't really portray it as a means of fixing loneliness, but more like, having an inner voice that's outside your subjective experience, so that if you're struggling with some personal dilemma you can get some perspective on the issue. I do agree though that it really probably isn't the best thing to be doing....

[@Solaire_of_Astora13]

@@haydenmaines5905 that's an interesting perspective I hadn't considered tbh, "to think outside of the box" and all that. But yeah, you're right...

You really need to upload more man your vids are good

[@hallucinationbandit4064]

Just wanted to say a binged all of your videos, keep up the great work!

[@VektroidLive]

Okay maybe somebody can help me out here. At some point between maybe 2011-2013 I saw a really similar channel to Surveillance Camera Man except they were basically entering the back areas of restaurants like Taco Bell, etc. and just standing there silently. It always fascinated me and I'm not sure if it's the same one mentioned here or not. Curious if anybody else recalls this, I didn't catch it in any of the archives I came across. Could be a false memory on my part for all I know, though. Feel like it predated this by a year though, wonder if it was a previous channel of his or something. Anyway, this thing really starts off with a bang. Rad work here.

[@giga-bowser]

I've never seen a concentrated collection of videos like this but I have seen many videos like this. The weirdest thing is one time I noticed one of them was taking place in the deli section of my local Walmart.

[@VektroidLive]

@@giga-bowser Yeah I have no idea if I'll ever get to the bottom of it. I'd imagine content moderation teams on sites like this are gonna prioritize the removal of that stuff pretty hard, so it's really difficult to say whether anybody archived it or not. The one thing I'll say about the videos I saw is that they might've been on a Facebook page rather than a KZbin channel, but I could be mistaken. I just remember it getting shared around a Facebook group with a bunch of musicians in it basically, and it was definitely something they found rather than created themselves. Also worth noting that I seem to recall the videos being bodycam footage (i.e. a GoPro strapped to the chest) rather than a handheld camera. It's like... if Hardcore Henry was an NPC in an RPG game. And the whole movie is just him breaking his path cycle and going where he's not supposed to, only for his walking script to freeze up, resulting in him being unable to move or speak until you reset the game. I remember at least 3-4 videos, but again, this is over 10 years ago minimum, so who the hell knows how much of this I'm actually recalling accurately. Either way it's still one of the strangest things I've ever seen on the internet.

[@VektroidLive]

Anyway I wish you much strength in the event that you should ever encounter this aforementioned "mysterious local deli man" in the wild.

I think the 'golf rumours' post on 4chan may have been to do with something else which I vaguely remember. My understanding is it was some kind of a meme where people would refer ominously to some kind of mystery event / incident, or rumours of such an incident, and either refuse to give any details out of fear of repercussion or be really vague about it, except for the fact that it in some way involved a golf course. The general consensus was that it involved some kind of secret meeting which took place between political figures at a certain golf course, where apparently (somewhere in the US if I recall) something happened at some point, or was revealed, which was highly significant. The most detailed post I remember reading claimed that during the meeting on this golf course, something transpired which proved that god was being tortured. I remember it being a pretty spooky topic to read about, even if it was probably just a meme.

[@VanDiemensLander]

TBF the remote viewing thing was actually something the Govt experimented with/gave funding too. The Golf Rumours bit, I guess is the glass camera thing.

One internet anomaly I remember hearing or reading about is the internet void, a place deep within the internet where random bits and chunks of assorted information go there, from random blogs to assorted pages of any kind, a chunk of information goes missing, it ends up there, no one knows why or what happens to it, like some sort of black hole slowly expanding

It's interesting when people outside the tulpa community talk about tulpas. Some people are really rude about it, but some think it's interesting and just leave us be. Thanks for being the latter! I used to have a tulpa in middle school and I would talk to him whenever I felt depressed and lonely. He helped me calm down and process my emotions better. I didn't go to therapy at the time, so it was a helpful coping mechanism. He ended up disappearing randomly, probably because I got bored of talking to him and was busy with life. I tried to make another tulpa after that, but kept failing because I was too tired to keep it up. Now he's just an OC that I draw for fun. Anyways, tulpamancers are just normal people, usually depressed or lonely normal people though. In my opinion, a tulpa is just an imaginary friend that's so developed to the point where they appear to have their own personality and appearance. It's possible to have one without even knowing what tulpas are. Our brains are really complex, so I don't question how or why it happens. But I want to say that its VERY different from having an alter, and is not related to DID or OSDD in any way. I've seen people claiming we're trying to force mental disorders on ourselves, but that's not true at all. You make tulpas consciously and plan them out, like an OC. You can't make or control an alter, they happen subconsciously. Tulpamancy can get unhealthy sometimes, but it's okay as long as you remember they're not exactly real and they can't replace actual friends or therapists.
