I do love that flat earth documentary where the guy eventually proved the Earth is a sphere.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 80 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It goes further than that.

Sargent says something along the lines of, "We can't tell people about this result. They'll kill us."

The entire film sets up the premise that NASA is hiding research about a flat earth. They are guarding the ice wall so people don't see it.

Then they hide research showing the earth is round.

These people don't care about science. They care about power.

It's no accident that conspiracy theorists and conservatives have a considerable overlap.

I'm incredibly high and cannot handle this 😂

My cynicism is so automatic that I could never say what you just said and keep a straight face.

I'm saving this and I'm going to use it so much

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Save yourself if you wish. They’ll say “well that just means that the peer-reviewed articles are in on it, too”. 🤦‍♂️

Can’t argue with facts……. is a quaint old saying that used to not be rhetorical

Nick Kroll? 😍

Dude. I completely forgot that Cillian Murphy was in Inception with DiCaprio!

This post came back for you....to remind you of something you once knew....

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That this meme is not real

[–] androogee@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but i heard that if you die in a meme you die in real life

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The body cannot survive without the meme

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can already hear the meme train. Hop in or live long enough to die on the tracks.
BTW: What if the train is my totem?

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago

This could backfire so horribly when they take that as permission to let all their crazy out.

[–] Sorgan71@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've never seen a published paper on how to make meth. I gotta get that info from Bill, and his parents were siblings.

You must not have looked very thoroughly.

Here's one which compares multiple synthetic routes and their impurity profiles: https://doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.fsisyn.2020.06.004

To underline the joke : research does not imply publishing. Except among scientists it does. Did I get that right?

The guy who set himself on fire actually had lots of proof.

Unfortunately the proof is just deranged connections

[–] Jasonw911@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Wow. That was a fascinating look into a paranoid mind.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan.

Well he certainly knows how to write a hook

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im ashamed to say I get a visceral reaction from people misusing this word

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Á la recherche du science perdú! Aka "The Sound Of Silence".

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait, an accent on the U? I thought the participle of perdre was just perdu. Typo? Or does that accent actually have done significance here?

[–] jxk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The correct phrase is « à la recherche de la science perdue »

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, merci ! I also didn't realise that it would be conjugated to agree with "la".

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Oops, typo. My first language is Spanish, I assumed there was an accent at the end.

I researched the spelling of "research" for this reply. Does this count as publishing?

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Slap a doi on it.
