I'll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was "Kitty."

Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of "if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!" or there's some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.

The Jan 6th temper tantrum was instigated as a response to the BLM and other Covid-era protests. The owner class was getting nervous about the working class protesting about things that matter, so they riled up some of their disposable morons to storm the Capital as a way to discredit direct action. And we're already seeing the effects; whether it's a labor strike or a student sit-in, we're told by centrists to "protest peacefully" and not inconvenience anyone, aka don't protest.

So many people believe that Covid was a way to scare us all indoors, so they could change batteries in all the birds.

That's preposterous.

Birds use rechargeables, that's why they're always sitting on the power lines. Like, duh, wake up sheeple.

I don't think this is too far out there but I haven't seen it around much. Epstein was a honeypot.

He got an absolutely disgusting sweetheart deal for his initial conviction resulting in him being released for 12 hours a day for work and a 13 month sentence. Now the attorney that cut that deal (illegally, mind you) was Alex Acosta. He was nominated for secretary of labor in 2017 and faced scrutiny for that deal, to which he said he was told epstein "belonged to intelligence" and to "leave it alone."

Supporting circumstamtial evidence includes ghislaine maxwells father having known connections to MI6, mossad, and the KGB, though he died in 1991 so that doesn't necessarily imply much. Additionally, the FBI has HARD FUCKING EVIDENCE including tapes which doubt less contain CSAM, yet nobody has actually been arrested as a result.

The issue is that this relies on taking Acosta at his word, and he's kind of a huge piece of shit. It could be possible that he was buddies with epstein and gave him a deal and covered up the evidence because he was involved too, and presumably enough powerful people in government were involved to keep everything quiet.

Sounds crazy when spelled out, but it's hard to imagine why else nothing would come of the mountains of evidence that probably followed the raids, or why epstein wasn't closely watched after his initial conviction.

r/cat was like that for a while. Imagine being the database admin being responsible for a billion iterations of the word cat.

Tinfoil hats on? Alrighty then:

All these Verizon outages are intentional and part of the plan to invalidate the 2024 election.

We'll see it happen again on and around election day, maybe xitter will go down too.

Whole voting districts in Georgia won't report in, citing system crashes, security breaches, whatever they feel like making up. Republican Secretaries of State will declare the election compromised before vote counting even starts.

Obviously there's also a hurricane and massive flooding, hence the tinfoil hat, but let's not forget where and when we are in history, and that The Business Plot was a real thing.

That covid hijacks people's brains with a parasite that makes them act like it doesn't exist or isn't a big deal if it does.

I don't actually think it's true, it's just that if it were, nothing would be different.

the stargate movie/show is "plausible deniability" soft disclosure of the real thing. they "hang a lantern" on this fact with the wormhole xtreme gag in the show.

There really is a base under Cheyanne mountain and the US gov does indeed have a program that was named Stargate too :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

You forgot to mention how wacky Stargate was. Remote viewing, death by telekinesis, 'psychic hugs'...

WafflePwn's brother (the kid who tried shoving a remote up his ass because of Warcraft account cancellation) actually documented a true and genuine freakout. The parents forced the older brother to produce subsequent videos as a means of making it look like they were just making candid freakout videos all along, in order to protect the younger bother's shattered public image (and probably social life).

The highest quality fruits, veggies, and meats go to restaurants leaving only mid stuff at the grocery store. Which makes cooking at home seem inferior to restaurant food even for home chefs. Pushing people to spend more going out and drive capitalism

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Restaurants often do get first-pick, but it's probably just because the producers or distributors can make more money selling to them rather than the grocery store. I.e. just another feature of capitalism. This happens with a lot of things, such as home builders and furniture makers getting first-pick on lumber. Now that I think back to when I used to work in fabrication, steel as well.
