Memories of Diddy's death

I don't know if this falls into a conspiracy theory or just my own strange memory. For years I kept on hearing about Diddy in the media but in my mind it was in past tense. I thought he was dead since the early 2000s after that song came out with Faith Hill. Does anybody else have this false memory of him dying year's ago? Maybe he actually did die and came back as an evil clone. Is this another case of the Mandela effect? Maybe it's just me only half paying attention or believing something where I ignored the evidence to it otherwise.

In need help find a movie about ancient technology being lost

Years ago I saw a movie about ancient tech being lost. I feel like I watched it around the same time as that ancient apocalypse show, but this one was more focused on how it seems like the older things are the more technologically advanced they seem. It then goes on to compare this to everything we know about tech advances that says technology improves with time rather than going the opposite way. They also focus a bunch of a meter of measurement being a long standing measurement before Napoleon which also has significance to reality and our planet. Any one know the movie? I have looked through so many doc lists and can’t find it. The narrator was a woman. It had an odd title.

Why does the United States refuse to stop global warming?

To make it easier to defeat Russia in any future wars with them.

Think about it. In America, it's considered common knowledge that the COLD has won many of Russia's wars for them. That will no longer be the case if global warming really takes off. Their permafrost is already melting and wreaking havoc.

Global warming will hurt The U.S. faaaar more than it helps, but the United States citizens know that their country doesn't really care about their people. They would probably prioritize winning a war over the safety of their people.

Or it could be capitalism and the money the government gets from oil companies. I'm not an expert in this by any means.

If anyone else has already posted about this, please link them in the comments. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts about this!

Is anyone able to tell me the name of the person that interviewed SGT. Clion Romesha?

Is anyone able to tell me the name of the person that interviewed SGT. Clion Romesha and made the Private Mace joke. It seems rather shocking that it seems like his name has been swiped from the internet.. Just curious of what the result of his remarks were?

"senior sunday" posts on social media is actually a campaign to train AI on aging techniques

I must be at that age, where people I know are posting "throwback" photos of their high school senior (12th grade) children. These photos are usually when the kids were much younger, like toddler to primary school age range. Has anyone else noticed this in your feeds? I primarily see it on Facebook.

I'm convinced it's a social engineering technique to more easily train AI aging models - you're adding confirmed same-person photo data that social media has never seen before, right next to the current photos. And maybe that tech wouldn't even be used for nefarious reasons. But I'm creeped out by people doing it, every time.

Famous Mortality

Does anyone think there are any celebrities who faked their death to get out of Hollywood and are just enjoying their life in some little town somewhere? Who and what evidence(not necessary though)?

Flat earth debate continues: why do the planets stop and move backwards?

What causes the apparent retrograde motion of the planets? The apparent retrograde motion is caused by differences in the planets’ orbital speed.

Let’s take Mars as an example. This superior planet moves slower in its orbit than the Earth. When we pass Mars, it seems to be moving “backward” because we're moving faster than it is. The same thing happens when you pass by a slower-moving car on the highway – for a moment, it appears to move in the opposite direction.

This mechanism works for all the superior planets. The inferior planets, Venus and Mercury, that orbit the Sun faster than the Earth, also periodically appear to move “backward”. However, their retrograde motion is hard to observe: when an inferior planet passes us by, it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, so the Sun’s glare hides it from view.

Ancient astronomers were rather puzzled by the retrograde motion phenomenon – especially those who thought that the Earth was at the center of the Universe. Only in the 16th century, when Nicolaus Copernicus introduced his heliocentric model, scientists understood that retrograde motion was an illusion.

More info: Kepler, Copernicus.

Elon Musk is a Russian agent

Think about it. February 24th 2022 Putin invades Ukraine. Invasion goes badly and there is stalemate. We know Putin and Elon have been in contact since early 2022, before the invasion. Less than 2 months later, April 14 2022, Elon offers to buy Twitter. I don't believe this is a coincidence. Putin realizes he can't win conventionally, so he has Elon buy Twitter to get Trump elected by turning it into a right wing propaganda machine. Trump gets elected and hands Ukraine to Russia. Putin decided to play the long game once he realized he wasn't going to win. Does this make sense? Not to mention the fact he's using the Starlinks he gave to Ukraine to pass military Intel to the Russian army.

How to debate a flat-earther and win.

Explain this…

Look at images of the moon taken from Iceland and images of the moon from Australia.

What is your theory on the assassination of John F. Kennedy?

I am convinced that multiple individuals were involved in shooting JFK, possibly someone with military experience in using sniper rifles and a strong affiliation with the Republican party, who strongly disagreed with JFK's political beliefs in the U.S. 

I believe Clay Shaw was the primary gunman with David Ferrie possibly involved, along with Lee Oswald as a collaborator. Jack Ruby and or Guy Bannister could be the brains behind this assassination.

𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐬!

I've been thinking long and hard about posting this as it is controversial but personal to me and I can guarantee there'll be antivaxers who won't "vaccinate their child because of autism." (If you believe vaccines cause autism please just scroll along as there's no room for hate)

Last year, DD was 3 weeks old when she began crying and burning up abnormally. As a result I rushed her to the doctors and she was admitted to the hospital for a week. During that week because she was of an age where she couldn't be vaccinated and they didn't know what was wrong with her (it was something called mystery baby illness a cause was never found) I had to watch my baby be prodded and poked endlessly and because she wasn't vaccinated she had to have lumbar punctures and other tests to rule stuff out. This wasn't just traumatizing for her at the time (I'm glad she'll never remember it now) but it was an extremely traumatic week for me who had to sit by my baby 24/7 missing my eldest. I didn't know if everything would be ok, I didn't know the outcome. After 7 days on various drips, she turned a corner and got better pretty quickly.

It's so important to vaccinate your babies and the approach of "well it causes autism." Vaccinations do not cause autism.

I do NOT blame baby vaccines for DS having a beautiful yet mischievous brain.

DS is currently awaiting an autism assessment and some days are tough, some days are the days where I put him to bed sit with my gin and think "how the hell did I make it through that." I've cried at some of the stuff he's come out with/ physically done but I know I can't take it personally and at times I feel like I've failed as his mum (even though this is completely not his fault nor mine) I'm not saying I'm the most perfect parent because if you're a parent that believes you get it right all the time then you need to give your head a wobble because there'll be things that come up and you won't always know how to deal with them.

But please if you take anything from this, vaccinate your children, it gives me peace of mind at night when ive tucked them up in bed just knowing that I've eliminated some risks for them.
