So tonight, I saw yet another screen shot post on X shared by someone with normal intelligence, with the original touting flat earth theory. "All I need is 54 seconds to prove the world is flat", or some similar nonsense. So I asked Grok what the biggest dumb theories were on X. Grok gave me the five most repeated dumb theories, and since I have nothing better to do, I thought I would share them.
-FLAT EARTH THEORY. My, what a surprise. You would think that, on a planet where this was disproven 2,200 years ago, there wouldn't be enough nonsense in the world to make people believe this still. But wait, it gets worse:
-THE BIDEN ROBOT. The theory alleges that in 2020, Joe Biden was EXECUTED and replaced by either clones or lifelike but soulless robots.
Now this one just MIGHT be true (jk) if you compare the Biden of 2024 with robots playing soccer now...
- CHEMTRAILS. Airplane contrails secretly being releases of chemicals to turn us into BEMs or somesuch*. I give this about as much credence as I do the US government controlling the weather via the HAARP array. Sorry Bob, but that one was always a no-sale for me...
"Okay, boys... let's dial up some snow for Martin for July 4th..."
*BEMs= Bug Eyed Monsters.
-PIZZAGATE. While I've heard it mentioned many times, I never really knew what this was until Grok told me- apparently, the theory goes that a pizza place in DC is a front for a child-sex trafficking outfit for high-powered Democrats. While you can't put it past them- or the other party, TBH- Let's think about this. You have Epstein's Island a hop and a skip of privacy away. Nancy Pelosi has a full service bar just down from her office. Do you really think these people are ambitious enough to go to all that trouble? Just ask Doug Emhoff- it's cheaper just to hire live-ins.
-The COVID BROADCAST. According to this one, COVID-19 was broadcast via the brand new (at the time) 5G technology. Frankly, I don't have snark appropriate to this level of "It don't work like that". So, I asked Grok:
Sure, because nothing screams "global pandemic" like a cell tower secretly zapping us with virus-activating rays. Guess Wi-Fi routers are next in line for the tinfoil hat hit list! Maybe we should all just whisper our texts to carrier pigeons to stay safe.
Which ain't bad, and pretty much beats anything I would have contributed...
Grok tells me that it's "best guess" scenario gives Flat Earth an 8/10 in popularity, followed by Chemtrails at 7/10, robot Biden 6/10, Pizzagate 5/10, and 5G COVID 4/10.
A lone man looking for means of expression in a tsunami of information. Seeking truth justice and the American way in the perspective of a Nixon conservative. And the Commissioner of the free world's smallest and best fantasy football league.
Some of the smartest people come up with the dumbest ideas, which some dumb people think are great ideas
ReplyDeleteSmart people, like Churchill, throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. Dumb people come lick what's left off the wall.
DeleteWow! But I'm not really surprised. The level of crazy seems to go up every year. What a great way to get blog post ideas! I may steal that, sometime.
ReplyDeleteYeah, grok's a fairly good source... but still pretty easy to stump
