Now that you bring it up, of course we've studied whether babies can be made in a spaceship. It’s literally the only other option for interstellar travel besides cryogenic freezing, which is far more sci-fi than spacesex. Or spacex for short.

Ooh, I do like this one.

But why the secrecy?

PIU is Korean, so it would be a multi nation effort.

That wouldn't generally be needed here, though. At least in the cities where most people live, they are walking and using public transit just to live, eat, etc.

I thought this was common knowledge.

I got awarded gold by a mod that told me they were gifted a certain number of awards from Reddit to give out (I believe they said they got 15).

The same mod also claimed that gold-gifted responses were given prioritized visibility.

There were a few times that users were gifted awards to give out too.

They've admitted that.

Someone at Pentagon was recently investigating UFO conspiracies and found that several kept looping back to them. And they realized that at least one was directly planted by themselves during the cold war to confuse the USSR about what weapons were real or not.

That honestly wouldn't surprise me tbh. And area 51 being great conditions for testing aircraft: empty space, clear skies, easier to recover parts and people from than the ocean, very little human habitation.

I've always said that people who think cats are simple or ratty/skittish creatures have never laid with a loving cat on their chest. There are few deeper connections that a good owner and a well-loved cat. They are exceptionally bright animals.

Dogs are waaaaay more aware than most people seem to think. I think it's true of most animals. We just don't like to think about it.

Some cats are extremely smart and very devious (looking at you, mother's cat) and some are. Well. I love them. But I've met cats that absolutely had nothing going on upstairs, not a single thought in their little brains.

That's rare though! Most are pretty smart and know how to convince us to do everything for them! And I always will do my best for them.

We need the guy who posted on Reddit that he thinks all of Chipotle contains a money laundering front based on big phone orders that would sometimes come in that would wind up not getting either made or picked up, just a fake order that went into the list alongside all the real ones but got paid for over the phone. He said this happened at multiple Chipotles he knew and he couldn’t think of anything at all it could be other than money laundering.

Imo they were sabotaging themselves with their lack of queso and still are with the poor distribution of ingredients in the burrito. I get my mexican food from real mexican restaurants, but even Moe's is better than Chipotle and they should be ashamed of that.

This one resonates with me. I fucking love science fiction, and when they forced me to read The Giver, the closest they every got to science fiction, I actually enjoyed it. And then the rest of the time I hated it all.

If I had actually been given the chance to read some good science fiction, I would have been reading a lot more as a kid.

I grew up in Canada.

My high school English teacher let us choose books to write essays on from a selection of a dozen or so that he was intimately familiar with and could tell whether someone was BSing or not.

I don't remember all of them, but I chose The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I also remember reading 1984 in his class.

Damn. Good one.

There's a great book "The Mathematician's Lament" that talks about how math teaching is almost guaranteed to make people hate it, but it's maybe not a conspiracy. Or is it!?

I'm actually stealing this as an explanation next time I'm at a house party and someone whips out the uno cards.

Bullshit, uno and its precursor crazy eights is hands down the best card game ever created. We even played that in big groups in jail and had a blast. The house rules thing is bullshit, agree on something beforehand and play, no stress.

I will say that anyone who doesnt play stacking draw cards is losing out on a ton of fun though.

This is 100% true. Have had a supermarket GM tell me about how much water they ‘had’ to pump into corned silverside to meet a price point.

There is advertisment in Netflix that is a company saying they don't do this like other companies. It is real

high-steak conspiracy theory

I have seen videos of the machines injecting water into shrimps (lots of needles), this isn't a conspiracy theory!

A similar thing is fat; force-feed cattle quickly and they get a big lump of fat (it will just melt away, but you still pay for it), feed them normally and exercise them and the fat will be in "stripes" and makes the meat taste way better.

Frustrating if true, since I've heard several people float the same conspiracy while shopping in my store, despite this not being something that we do. The price of meat (at least in Canada) has just risen to absurdities post-pandemic. I don't even buy it anymore.

This is absolutely a thing with chicken. Always go for the “Air-Chilled” chicken if you can afford it.
