The Government Is Behind Crop Circles! | ArmouredSkeptic Rabbit Hole

[@RawketSushi]

"Someone said there were iron pellets on the crops. I couldn't find anything about it anywhere so as a skeptic I just took their word for it"

[@ianrusttattoos]

Oh wow, they found MAGNETIC iron. That's the rarest type of iron!

[@Abrasive-Heat]

Don’t wanna use that poor people NON magnetic iron. I spent all that money on an induction stove and I’m getting my dollars worth.

[@hilliard665]

All well and good til they drop it in water 😂😂😂

[@n0etic_f0x]

I am shocked at how many people think all metal is magnetic. I have seen people check to see if gold is real using magnets whet when it is _not_ magnetic they conclude it is not only not gold but not metal at all.

[@seraphonica]

the only thing of which Greg has ever successfully convinced me is the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

[@doofusrick5998]

Dunning-Gregor

[@zactron1997]

49:37 So he's confusing cold welding (bringing two metals together in a vacuum with no oxide layer (rust) causes metals to spontaneously weld. Happened on one of the Apollo missions because some paint chipped on their hatch), cold fusion (nuclear fusion (the sun) happening at low temperatures, currently impossible), and the concept of heating via radiation (kitchen microwaves, heat lamps, etc.) I know conspiracy theories rot the brain, but watching 3 entirely distinct concepts just get slammed into each other for no reason other than a personal misunderstanding is so representative of the kind of nuttery required to fall down these rabbit holes. "Did I misunderstand this concept? No, it's reality that's wrong!"

[@mind_onion]

thank you for saying this, as I heard "examples of cold fusion" I started screaming internally. How can Greg be wrong on so many levels. Fractal wrongness really exists.

[@Ironysandwich]

You know it's cold welding and not cold fusion because your metal rods stuck together instead of exploding with enough force to level a sizable chunk of a city. Subtle difference, but apparent upon close inspection.

[@lettersnstuff]

words have meanings goddammit

[@scottbuck1572]

Bro Greg is not even making theories about this reality anymore. Hes full Green Man now

[@eideticex]

Cold welding is not cold fusion. Very different phenomena.

[@BaronVonQuiply]

Look, the crop circle hoaxes by those two guys in the English countryside were entertaining in the 90s, impressive actually. But lately I've been finding circles in my weed crops, so this shit has to stop.

[@joearnold6881]

Crop circles were the first thing I ever saw debunked. It was in the early nineties and I was in elementary school. We had some sort of magazine or flyer thing, I can’t remember what… it was like a newspaper for kids I think? Anyway, it had a whole article about crop circles and how the hoaxsters made them, complete with illustrations of people doing it. Boards with string attached and things in their hats to help keep the lines going the way you want. Come to think of it, that early lesson may be part of why I wound up a skeptic and atheist eventually. 🤔

[@n0etic_f0x]

I love the people who think you don't think people have enough time to make Crop circles. Do you know how boring it can get way out in the middle of nowhere? Also yes the hair is intentional, it is the Satan beard + the Jesus beard.

[@zenbear9952]

I suspect this is just him being slightly bigoted again. How could a bunch of country folk make these things? They're dumb so it can't be them!

[@SpaceWampa]

1:13 This corn guy is just mocking us throughout HE knows why THEY make the circles in the cornfields HOW ARE PEOPLE SO BLIND OPEN YOUR EYES He wears a corn suit he knows more than he's telling you WHO PAYS YOU CORN MAN WHO

[@BaronVonQuiply]

24:46 This is commonly called a knuckle or elbow and happens every time you bend a stalk over and let it heal. The, eh, "Skeptic" however believes this is some kind of advanced technology controlled by the lizard people or whoever.

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

It happened to the corn at my homestead when strong winds blew them over. I get the impression Greg has never grown anything or worked with crops at any time in his life. He really ought to go outside every once in a while. Yes, I'm saying he needs to touch grass.

[@theressomelovelyfilthdownh4329]

I have almost always seen them referred to as knuckles. But yeah, either or works as well to describe it.

That crazy alien-face crop circle with the insane encoded message is definitely art. You can tell by how it provoked all sorts of emotions in people.

[@DeHeld8]

I just... I am endlessly perplexed by how Greg just... made a complete 180 in his perspective on the world... How is it possible that someone's mind can melt like this? It's... fascinating and deeply unsettling.

I had to click because I honestly haven’t heard Armored Skeptic’s name since like 2016-17 deadass.

[@Ironysandwich]

Yeah, I dropped him when he went down the "anti-SJW" rabbit hole. Finding out he went full conspiracy theorist is somehow both surprising and completely unsurprising.

ferromagnetism, physical phenomenon in which certain electrically uncharged materials strongly attract others. Two materials found in nature, lodestone and iron, have the ability to acquire such attractive powers, and they are often called natural ferromagnets.

[@Rayrard]

The fact that crop circles started so simple and are now literally trolling people with alien faces and codes strongly suggests they are just bored people.

[@scottbuck1572]

Bro, I swear the last time Greg got an MRI, it was REALLY miscalibrated

[@Campernicus]

17:43 And yes, there are even crop circles depicting what some people think aliens that we made up would look like

[@andrewkoster6506]

so what you're saying is, secret government aliens did it

[@thechubbyatheist9913]

I'd expand on the fact that we've only been space traveling for a blip of time by pointing out we've only really existed for a blip of time, so it's possible that even if UFO Aliens have been to earth it wasn't during a period of human existence.

[@ZephyrusAsmodeus]

Greg would be utterly and thankfully speechless if he discovered that rc drones with cameras (and lights) exist.

[@blakebailey22]

what the fuck? This is Armored Skeptic? what the hell happened to him?

I was wondering that. Haven't seen his content in years, yikes.

[@skalliedA]

I want Greg and the guy from Top15s to have a chat. Let the crustiest voices collide!

[@bunnieseatliverspots]

Why does he chew on the last word of every sentence so hard? "There are even crop circles that depict aliiieeensss."

[@Triptides77]

Does the principal of "Occam's Razor" not exist in Greg's mind?

[@CampingforCool41]

Honestly aliens doing crop circles is more believable than the government with the way they don’t give a shit about art.

[@seansteele6532]

Does Greg not know that you can make a perfect circle with a piece of string? Just fasten one end to a point then extend to the radius you want and then travel clockwise or counter clockwise and the circle will be perfect every time?

[@jonni2317]

i'm pretty sure when people first started making crop circles they were just that, circles. but now theyre these intricate works of art, it would be interesting to find out the history of crop circles as an art form

[@bialyteamtv]

Following AS's logic large murals on apartment complexes are impossible

[@damejanea.macdonald2371]

I admit, I was thinking he was doing some pretty basic stuff after his "I am the Green Man" video, but he's definitely knocked it out of the park with this one. I can't be completely happy, because I know when conspiracy theories abound, someone is going to use them for antisemitism. Even if I somehow accepted his occasional claim to be doing this for fun, I'm certain some of his audience are not in on that hypothetical joke. But, in a vacuum, this is more entertaining than some of his more recent ones that really didn't feel like he was trying hard enough. He went so hard here to an almost unbelievable degree and that's what I enjoy out of these rabbit hole videos. 32:54 I don't really know what to say about Greg finding it incomprehensible that someone might do something secretly, wait a long time after people have stopped talking about it, and then announce they did the thing. Fun fact: when I tried and failed to find any concrete examples of crop circles happening in 15 seconds or whatever, I found out that the most famous pair of hoaxers apparently revealed themselves because one of their wives started asking piercing questions about why he keeps disappearing in the evening without explanation and his car has so much mileage on it. This was after like 10-20 years of doing it quietly, so they didn't exactly come out immediately about it. 50:54 I'm not sure if Greg knows this, but "obtain[ing] extremely unique results" is not really something that proves your point much in science.

Hutchinson was one of my early internet obsessions. Early on he was experimenting on metals and manipulating them in incredible ways without understanding any of it, it was like a toy to him. Then people began to notice his (geocites) page where he documented some of his work and I see him change. He re did a lot of his page, most of his notes gone and replaced with sensationalized psuedo-science stuff. It was like the attention flipped a switch in him and it wasn't good.

'How conspiracy theorists convince themselves crop circles are real and why they are wrong' is skeptic 101, but nope, his mind is now so open grain framers are playing soccer with his brain. Also: 'alien math' AAAAAAAAA that is not how math works... If you use alien math to make a round circle the circle is still round you dumb fool.

Worth pointing out if cold fusion did achieve proper ignition (when a reaction becomes self sustaining), it would be very VERY hot and release a lot of neutron and gamma radiation. This is the case for any fusion (even aneutronic fuels will still produce some neutron radiation for reasons). The idea of cold fusion is that it can achieve ignition without heating the fuel up first. The end goal is still hot and radioactive. Any video demonstrating cold fusion with the person standing in the same room as the reactor is a liar because they'd be dead and everything would be on fire (in case you needed yet more reasons it was bs). Also tbf to Greg, I could totally see the government spreading some conspiracies just to mess with people and cause more confusion. They'd rather people spend time worrying about stuff that doesn't exist than actual problems (because solving them would mean leftism).
