anything qanon related will make your brain implode faster than a carbon fiber pressure hull at 12k feet.

Yeah, I'm all for conspiracies and many have been proven true over time. Q is a whole different world.
I want the return of fun conspiracy theories.
Bigfoot. Aliens. Secret government weapon projects.
Actually few have been proven true.
Government surveillance and things like Iran-Contra and MK Ultra are what I'm meaning.
Those were not exactly conspiracy theories. They were investigated and proven. They were illegal from the start.
Before they were proven they would have been regarded as conspiracy theories.
Tor. A serious study of as many .onion sites as I could find. There are many reasons why people want to be anonymous. I don't know why, I just felt compelled to look at the edges of humanity.
Back in the early 2000s, I heard tell of Freenet, thought it sounded like a cool project, and started poking around there. I soon determined that a lot of the material being exchanged there was not anything I wanted anywhere near my disk, even encrypted. Deleted it pretty darn quick.
this would actually be pretty interesting. any details?
Drug dealers, arms dealers, hit men, conspiracy theorists with apparent mental health issues, child porn. I was at least somewhat amused until the last, then it was like, "Yeah no, I'm done with this" All you need is a copy of TAILS.
Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK, his head just kind of did that sometimes.
Please elaborate. I'm veeeeery interested.
Me too. WE DEMAND ANSWERS!
Tulpas. People basically intentionally making themselves schizophrenic
There's way more to schizophrenia than just seeing something that's not there, though.
Look up, you'll see the point as it passes by
And what, prey tell, is the point? I don't get it, but it's harmless, so mostly I just saw judgement in the OP.
Linux distros
Are you talking about Hannah Montana Linux, Ubuntu Satanic Edition, or Justin Bieber Linux?
Don't forget Red Star Linux!
After those, the only logical destination is TempleOS
One time I had a weird skin thing and was trying to look up whether I should be worried about it, and stumbled onto a bunch of shit about Morgellons Disease, in which people think they have fibers or parasites growing out of their skin.
I just had a weird ingrown hair.
In trying to prove to a friend that fluoride in the water wasn't bad, I had to dig into the conspiracy to refute each point.
Did your research end up changing your friend's mind?
Not OP, but take a wild guess
He did conceded on some the absolutely bat shit claims but couldn't bring himself to fully believe the fluoride shouldn't be in the water.
Can you post your points?
Sorry this was a long time ago. The guy has definitely mellowed some since though he did have a brief Stephen Crowder stint during the pandemic. Old habits die hard.
I can't recall the creepiest, so here's a kinda eerie website I found called Terminal 00:
https://www(dot)angusnicneven(dot)com
It's not necessarily super disturbing, but it has a design that is a bit eerie and trippy, to me at least.
I had head phones and as soon as I read "I will make you listen" and noticed there was a lot to scroll down to, I closed the page. Eff that lol
Start to program.
