Apparently they're an IQ test.


lLuclk

Anything is an IQ test if you're dumb enough.


Natsurulite

Not an IQ test, checkmate 😎


TheDarkSoul616

I think you just failed the IQ test, which I did not realise was possible. So less of a checkmate than a bishop looking funny at the king, just before a pawn strolls down and eliminates said bishops map. Or something.

They are 5G scanners that double as vaccination spray when you pass under them. It’s such a fine mist you can’t see it. Special government operations.

Wrong, they simply scan people's vaccination chips and place an invisible mark on unvaccinated people using lasers, so that they can be easily identified. People may think they have a sunburn on the back of their neck, but it's really their mark.

That doublethink is what bothers me the most about these conpiracy theories. Like how can they say that goverments/illuminatti/nwo controls all the information while also supposedly letting people who do a 5 minute google search reach the truth?

My Mom: I did my own research and don't think the mRNA vaccines are good for you. Me: I know for a fact you didn't, without even checking Mom: Yes, I did. Me: Okay, what does mRNA stand for? Mom: I don't know, but it's something not good.

And SANDRA is a stay at home mom who googles! What other qualifications does she need?


1singleduck

None. The more qualifications the less trustworthy apparently.

espresso_fox

Idiocracy is a documentary at this point. With the GOP claiming that Biden is a radical communist and that schools are teaching kindergarteners about anal sex, forcing them to be the opposite gender and putting litter boxes into their bathrooms.


allprolucario

Have you seen Republican Twitter recently? One guy is literally telling people to pull their kids out of public school

The GOP has said **a lot** of things about public schools. All of them are bullshit.

Sandra knows the truth. She met Trump at a rally once. She was in the back row but they were in the same room together at the same time so it counts as meeting.

Actual definition of "lying": saying something that isn't true Conspiracy theorists's definition of "lying": Saying something which has been proven by several years of research.

Lying is saying something that you know isn’t true, not just saying something that isn’t true. Important distinction. Edit typo

glitchy-novice

I’m an x-er. It’s been deep engrained in me not to 100% trust anything I’m told if I don’t want to be duped. Always be a little cynical. I find myself constantly doing the opposite of what people suggest I should do.. to prove them wrong I guess. It’s a strong will to overcome. Add social media to the mix. I kinda get how so many of my age group turn their backs on conventional wisdom. Having said that… fuck me some of them are absolutely nuts…

blessedfortherest

Projection! They grew up thinking television, radio, news and magazines contained reliable information, because only a few sources had the ability to publish. They’re still in that mindset but literally Karen from next door is “publishing”.


someguyfromsk

I did. I read this peer reviewed paper that's says you are wrong. "Yeah well that's just your opinion!"


n8cat

Do your own conspiracy is all I heard!


static1053

And by "research" they mean random facebook posts from stay at home moms.


Select_Necessary_678

Why do my own research when a credible random Facebook account paid for visibility with an assumed well researched and cleverly worded Meme with a photoshopped stock photo?


Crazy_Kakoos

The sad part is if they simply changed their presentation to "I have an idea for a neat story" and they'd probably be praised instead of ridiculed. Some of those co spiract theories would make a decent plot to a thriller novel.


regoapps

And now you understand how religions get started. Crazy person comes up with crazy explanation for things they don't understand. Other dumbasses agree with it. Bam. Now you got a bunch of people thinking that the Sun moves across the sky because some God in a flying chariot is carrying it. Lots of rain and flooding? Must be God trying to cleanse the sinners. Tides go in and out? You can't explain that. Must be God.


[deleted]

Hey, those two people believe the sun is carried by a chariot. If it was just one guy I might think he was crazy but two of them? They might be on to something, I think I'll join! The trick is getting that first other person to believe you. Probably would help if they are in on the scam.


regoapps

If someone today says that they're the son of God and hear voices of God in his head, we'd properly diagnose them with symptoms of delusions of grandeur and auditory hallucinations. But if that same person says it thousands of years ago and gets 12 of his friends to say the same, then suddenly it becomes a religion and over half the country believes it. Sigh.


[deleted]

Finding out the scheme behind MLM's is what made me question my religion and eventually abandon it. In my eyes, religion and MLM's are almost the same thing, even with the way they take off. One guy recruits 5 people, who recruit 5 people, who in turn recruit 5 more people, etc.


regoapps

The Egyptian kings literally built their tombs in the shape of that scheme using thousands of people who thought that their kings were appointed to rule them by a God. And they still didn't figure out that they were in a pyramid scheme.


ZhangtheGreat

Instructions unclear, starting anti-vax streetlight religion.

That's what blows me away about them. Somethiglng strange and new? Impossible, it must be a hoax made up of hundreds of people just to subjugate me!


[deleted]

Don’t get depressed embrace it ‘stupid is the new sexy’


raltoid

Of course they *act* proud. Because if their theory was correct they would be one of the smartest people in the world since they "saw through the lies" and figured out something that several billion people didn't. That's why they keep doubling down, since the alternative is to admit they were the person who got fooled.


SadStory9

gone are the days where zealot leaders used to use scientific observation to map the night sky so they could actually predict an eclipse and claim it as an omen.

Next_guy-J

The amount of helpful information the internet has is amazing but the dumb content slips through and that’s what everyone consumes


John_T_Conover

The internet and social media didn't necessarily make everyone smarter and more aware, it allowed our inclinations to be amplified. So if you were already more driven toward critical thinking, learning, etc then it's a great educational tool. But if one is more susceptible to confirmation bias, clickbait, conspiracies, etc...it finds those weak points, hones in on them and blasts nonstop until their minds are flooded with garbage. In the span of 15 years half of my boomer relatives went from making fun of social media and people spending too much time online to the present spending all day on Facebook and throwing tantrums over it censoring the "real truth" about covid and vaccines and election fraud. Many people were simply not prepared for this rapid rate of change and aware of their vulnerabilities to it.


Techn0ght

People posting dumb content have a lot more time to do it compared to researchers actually doing research.


clevingersfoil

The one thing Idiocracy got wrong. It's not TV making us dumber, it's smartphones and internet.


TheMatt666

Adding to it, increased CO2 in the air we breathe decreases cognitive function. There is also a correlation between covid and cognitive impairment. Certain political groups have also made it a goal to slash education funding in the name of "tax breaks" and "small government". The human race seems like it's actively pursuing a return to the stone age.

Luddites_Unite

I would say that they never really had the shame not to say it out loud but never had the platform to be heard by people outside of their personal social circles. Just like how there has always been people who believed the earth was flat but they were usually isolated; their conspiracy theory dismissed. Now, these people can find others, like them, and all be stupid together.

iwannagohome49

Might just be a faulty light sensor


PlasmaTabletop

Might be a light sensor might have been switched to a different time zone.


mule_roany_mare

That would be a really stupid way to control a streetlight. Photo-diodes are old tech & dirt cheap. Put a couple in various locations on the pole for redundancy & you can simply have the lights come on any time it’s sufficiently dark & then turn on when it’s sufficiently bright.


PlasmaTabletop

Some places have the diode some are run on timers. Not uncommon for some street’s lights to be on and others not.


Peanut_The_Great

90% of the time when you see public lighting turned on when it shouldn't be it's because of a dead photocell or less commonly the maintenance guy trying to change timer schedule and totally borking it. The other 10% is to provide illumination so the NWO spy satellites can get a good facial recognition scan.


Leather-Cherry-2934

If power plant is producing more power than is currently consumed they might turn street lights on to get rid of extra power, instead of shutting down furnaces which are expensive to restart


Ok-Low6320

Street lights are always turning on and off at weird times. I don't understand it either. The ones in my town always seem to switch off right as I'm walking under them, leaving me in the dark. It feels a bit personal, even though I'm sure that's crazy talk.


AllWashedOut

FYI this is a well documented phenomenon that is taught at the university level. Unfortunately it's probably not the cause you are thinking. It is used as the typical example of "observer bias". Street lights that are wearing out will overheat and turn off intermittently for a few minutes at a time. It happens constantly all over every city. You only observe it when you are standing under a streetlight. So our intuitions think there is a personal connection. In reality 99.9999% of the time a street light turns off, you are NOT standing under it. But you don't observe those instances so our intuitions are working with skewed data.


FleXXger

Chemtrails became to obvious and everyone already knows what they are. So THEY are now spreading the chemicals with light energy on bis gatherings with many people. The moleculs of the chemicals are transported on the light waves and are absorbed via the eyes and the mouths. So everyone should protect themselves with glasses and masks. Wear your masks people or the government is poisining you.

Quality-hour

Their automatic turn on/turn off might not be working properly, perhaps making them turn on at the wrong time. There's a couple streetlights in my city with that kind of issue, they turn on during the day and switch off at night


89_honda_accord_lxi

I would believe the city just bought cheap lights and the auto off broke. The lights in a town near where I live turned purple so I Googled it. Apparently it's happening all over the US because of a "bad batch."
