    Claim: Cattle Mutilation – 6 cows in Texas

    thank you for acknowledging that I have indeed read your post correctly. you have not made a claim of evidence. that which is claimed with no evidence can be dismissed with no evidence you have provided evidence that some people believe satanic cults do this (we all agree that these beliefs...

    Help with explaining Mars traces

    This was actually NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day for August 9, 2012. Big version with dates, so you can compare to the simulations:

    Help with explaining Mars traces

    SolarSystemScope shows Mars moving in retrograde, although the line indicating its orbit doesn't reflect this; it seems like a bug. I installed the SolarSystemScope android app, set some options to label planets and constellations (and omit moons and satellites), chose night sky view, found...

    Havana Syndrome: "Sonic Attacks" at the US Embassy in Cuba - Mass Hysteria?

    Thank you, that's interesting. Note that the reports state there are "information gaps" with this explanation, which means that any and all evidence of humans exposed to pulsed electromagnetic radiation lacks the observed Havana Syndrome symptoms. That "plausible explanation" is, at this...

    Claim: Cattle Mutilation – 6 cows in Texas

    I suspect it's because the Sherriff is an elected official, and it's easier to roll with the flow than tell your voters they're wrong. Law enforcement training syllabus may also be an issue.

    Claim: Cattle Mutilation – 6 cows in Texas

    It's because you state these bunk claims without distancing yourself from them. There is no way to read the post I quoted above other than parsing "they just use the parts" as you stating your opinion. Neither @Ann K nor I read you as attributing the mutilations to satanists, but we both think...

    My journey out the rabbit hole. Quite a rollercoaster ride.

    Thank you for your long reply, that's enlightening! I think the fact that you can find an uncritical, supportive community once you buy into their belief system is what makes conspiracy theories (and cults!) so attractive to people who feel isolated (and unemployment would have contributed to...

    Claim: Cattle Mutilation – 6 cows in Texas

    Yes. So a smart "governmental entity" does the purchase covertly, and in the lab they disect the cow properly to find out which organ has the most radioisotopes in it, etc. Except there's no evidence at all (and no reason) that this is happening, either. Btw, the EPA's RadNet monitors...

    Claim: Cattle Mutilation – 6 cows in Texas

    There's no reason I could imagine for such an activity to be covert.

    Claim: Cattle Mutilation – 6 cows in Texas

    How can you tell? Small dead mice I've found have usually looked pretty neat, fur wholly intact etc.

    My journey out the rabbit hole. Quite a rollercoaster ride.

    We've discussed this here, it's the fallacy of seeing people prepare for a (statistically) predictable event (meaning, an event that is thought likely or possible to happen) and mistaking it for an actual prediction or planning. Once that interpretation is stuck in a CT's mind, the idea that...

    Skinwalker Ranch Carriage House Lights and Bird on a Sunny Day

    I think you can take that as a compliment, @yoshy. :)

    Quite crazy yet awful and somehow helpful journey

    A lot of the influx for these communities is misplaced trust, and unfortunately that's hard to counteract. We've learned through the Dominion court case that Fox knowingly lied to its viewers, and yet many keep trusting it. As long as people feel, "they're on my side", they'll keep on trusting...

    doing that would legally be criminal, would it not? purposely injuring another person?

    Claim: Ancient Cultures inherited Structures and Artefacts from Pre-Historic Lost Civilizations with Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities

    I don't think that's valid unless you can show they actually picked through hundreds of vases, which seems unlikely. The point I've been trying to across is that even if the numerology is real, it doesn't prove machining. We've learned from @overlord's analysis that the workmanship is no better...

    Claim: Ancient Cultures inherited Structures and Artefacts from Pre-Historic Lost Civilizations with Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities

    you're joking, but the numerologists found it, albeit squared: Again, significance nil, since the golden ratio (phi) was around long before computers: Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    Claim: Ancient Cultures inherited Structures and Artefacts from Pre-Historic Lost Civilizations with Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities

    1) it's a ratio of diameters/radiuses on the vase, so there's an uncomplicated way to produce this ratio. As a counterexample, if they had found the ratio of width to height to be pi, I'd be more dismissive of it. 2) the chance of hitting pi this exactly is 1:1000 (less if simple factors are...

    Claim: Ancient Cultures inherited Structures and Artefacts from Pre-Historic Lost Civilizations with Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities

    Well, yeah, that's exactly my point. "Involves maths, therefore done by computer" is the reasoning aimed at a modern, mathematically illiterate audience, when all it takes to implement that design is a piece of string.

    Have You Actually READ the NIST Report on Building 7?

    So you're aware your line of discussion would take you straight off topic? I'm pretty sure I've seen this discussed here before, btw. You were asking the same questions 2.5 years ago, but apparently forgot the answers. See...
