I had my conspiracy theory ex brother in law explain that chem trails were things Biden added to jets to fight global warming… My response was “shit, I wish that was true!”
Somehow that wasn’t the answer he was expecting.
wish that was true
Conspiracy theories are an outlet. People need a reason for why society is not as good as they feel it could be.
Most people blame the other political party. But that doesn’t work for everybody. The mind keeps looking until it finds a reason, and then it fades out all arguments that oppose it.
We laugh about conspiracy theorists, but most have the same mindset, just with socially acceptable topics.
Yeah real chemical companies dump their chemicals straight into a river.
Nice thinking, you’re correct and after trying to avoid that pattern you become extremely aware of your own flawed opinions and how others don’t care as long as it means they aren’t pinned as the fault or reason
I got back in touch with a friend of mine who who graduated in the same class as me with a B.S. in Physics. When they learned that I’m an atmospheric scientist, their first question was “What’s the deal with Chem trails?”
Point being, conspiracy theories also infect the educated sometimes.
This reminds me of the time when I was a kid and me and several of my family members went racing out into the front yard to watch the plane that was doing all kinds of aerial acrobatics over our neighbors’s field dropping whatever chemical or fertilizer was in their tanks that day so we were all basically coated in it by the time they were done and we went back inside. Except I wasn’t a kid when it happened, I was a fully informed adult who should have known better and then a few days later we found out it was some kind of potentially dangerous fungicide. But on the plus side I now have 3 penises.
This reminds me of my parents’ stories of running out to play in the clouds of DDT when the spray trucks went through the neighborhood
Mmm, tastes spicy!
Meanwhile, the government: “That’s fucking stupid. We don’t poison you with the air, that would be inefficient. We have to breathe that, too. We just poison the water and the soil, and if you’re a target we will just pick you up off of the street like a stray cat, we’ve always been very up front about that.”
The really depressing thing about this, and many other “unexplained” aerial phenomena, is that it demonstrates how many people just never fucking look up at the sky.
The only planes actually dropping chemicals are just doing farm work.
Uhhhhhmmmm akshually there are increased cancer rates near airports because, it turns out, setting jet fuel on fire and shoving it out of an engine to go fast leads to some of those chemicals settling into the land around concentrated flight paths.
This is the unfortunate kernel of truth that sets the dummies tilting at conspiracy theories instead advocating for environmental regulation.
That, and they put the mind control chemicals directly into the jet fuel. The pilots don’t even know they are complicit, just the government and the oil companies.
/s
They think this is bad but think the lead in plane fuel is fine
This thing is real, they’re spreading dihydrogen monoxide vapours everywhere. Moreover every single dead person has the same thing in their body. Coincidence? I think /s
I literally put it together in highschool when someone mentioned it to me after learning about how clouds form from nuclei.
I have no idea how it works and I studied chemical engineering. I guess I would have to study physical engineering
You don’t know how it works because you didn’t study tin foil hat engineering.
You can actually get pretty good efficiency with tin foil hat engineering due to the reduced cranial volume.
Meanwhile space x makes a flare and has falling debris , MAGA: gotta buy a cybertruck and drive it into ocean to show support
So true. I have a classmate who is an anti-vaxxer, even though we did biology.
D’s get Degrees too
They just never paid attention in school.
They’re just researching ChemRail™s
To be fair, they do look ugly in the sky.
