EDIT: Let's cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We're not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don't believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I'm sure almost everybody has something to add.

I don't agree with you but I thank you for participating in the prompt, and I want you to know that you have value.

You're welcome. Seeing the reaction, I'm wondering if people read the title of the OP and were expecting popular opinions. Lemmy is more Reddit than Lemmy probably wants to admit.

[–] nonagonOrc@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well there is not much meaningful discussion to be had about a decades old conspiracy theory that has been memed on plenty in the past. I think that is where the downvotes are coming from.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee -5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If that's the standard, there aren't really a lot of meaningful discussions anywhere on this thread to be honest. Any documentaries on mothers co-sleeping with infants, humans fighting bears, or one for each of the three people denying the big bang theory?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

All of those are more interesting topics than a dumb mega-debunked conspiracy theory. Seems like your standard for interesting is History channel at 2 am?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee -5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You say that like the opposing standard for interesting ever had a timeslot on any channel. I wouldn't hold this against anyone though, I for one am not one to be as judgy or to come to a question like this expecting narrative conformity.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is all performative. You knew you'd draw ire and that was your goal. Otherwise you probably wouldn't have announced you're reddit famous for believing a slew of debunked lies

Some people are so boring that they have to have a schtick. This is hers. She doesn’t actually believe it.

Edgy teenagers love to do this shit and sadly a lot of people never mature past that mindset.
