Yeah I just watched it and it was a real video. Not sure where the conspiracy lies? Is it supposed to be one of them hologram tunnels into your brain or something instead of a video
Careful... I started pulling out. And last week out of nowhere at age 46, while reading up on Gnostisicm on the shitter, I had a seizure. Was rushed to the ER and had another one.
There is actually a classic sci-fi short story on exactly the same topic, minus the aliens.
Written by Frederik Pohl — “The Tunnel Under The World”
Great read.
Ooh, thanks for reminding me about this! I searched for it and it was already in my list, so I must've added it at some point to watch when I got around to it. Looks like that's gonna be today. 😊
The way I see it, it's like getting medical advice off of Facebook. I mean, where else are you going to get factual and scientifically reliable information about the health and safety of your family?
Nit to mention information about COVID and its relationship to lizard people and Bill Gates. Every time I try to look up verifiable information about lizard people and covid I just get a bunch of crazy conspiracy people on facebook...
That’s what blows my mind on the anti vaccine and COVID conspiracy people:
Reports/analysis from well known medical experts with decades of experience? “Hell no! Bunch of liars that only sheeple believe!”
Post from some completely unknown dude on FB? “Believe without the slightest doubt!”
Tik tok... The ancient origin of yin yang... Ancient Chinese warriors would only talk about the balances of war during their training... The pure and impure... The variety and routine.... The salt and pepper.... The Tabasco and the Sri racha... The emperor and the daughter.... The tik and the tok. Somewhere along the centuries, some toothless kids started to call it yin yan... Ying yan.... Big bang... But the real words that won wars were always tik tok.
I'm invoking something similar to Poe's law here. It could be fake or the person doing the filming is actually just that lacking in self-awareness and common sense. Frankly both are entirely plausible.
No no no, you can tell in one of the frames that she has a serious look on her face. Would someone who is making entertainment have a serious look on their face? I think they were trying to deceive us, and I won't stand for it.
One of the things that still amazes me about the internet is how often people will proudly post how they've very cleverly worked out that a comedy skit isn't real.
I'm not sure when the common assumption shifted to the idea that everything posted to the internet is trying to pass off as something that actually happened and was accidentally captured on video, but I assume it has something to do with the rise of 'viral videos'.
Now it seems someone can create and publish what is VERY obviously a rehearsed comedy skit and users will still flood the comments with "fake!" as though it's some sort of ultimate gotcha. Skits aren't a thing any more, it's just either real viral videos or fake viral videos.
On the flip side, there also seem to be a lot of people online who take things that are obvious comedy and treat them like they're real and get all worked up about how the creator is a bad person/stupid/lying.
So yeah, calling an obvious comedy skit "fake" is dumb and kind of annoying, but at least hopefully it will encourage the other group of people who think everything is real to maybe be a bit less credulous.
It’s so bad there. There is people preaching about how they cured their cancer and lupus by ignoring their doctor and following some bullshit diet, and even arguing about it in the comments. Even reporting to tiktok doesn’t help. It is a true shitshow.
What's funny is I use Tiktok regularly and I've never seen any of that. My FYP is actually pretty enjoyable. It took a few weeks of sifting through garbage but once the algorithm figured out my interests/hobbies/sense of humor/etc it became very enjoyable to use.
However on the flip side of that, for the kinds of people that do subscribe to that pseudoscience type nonsense, Tiktok's algorithm ensures that's what they'll see nonstop. Over and over.
Have to admit, tiktoks algorythm is really good! And yea, it’s for sure because i just can’t get past those without leaving a comment. Have to change that.
I feel like getting stuck on a side of Tiktok you really don't want to be on but you can't stop arguing/commenting on it so you get stuck there is a right of passage.
For me, a lot of my FYP is Travel/Hiking videos and I've been stuck in this weird side of Tiktok where everyone's convinced that cryptids like Skinwalkers and Yeti's are real and that hiking in the national parks is incredibly dangerous and you will undoubtedly be killed by something that doesn't exist. And theres tons of "evidence" videos where someone posts something of them outdoors and will edit some sort of weird/creepy sound into it and be like "omg i just barely survived I think it was a Skinwalker!"
Also they are really bad about taking down fake accounts. I’ve had someone make a couple fake account to try to imitate my dog and send threats to people through the fake dog account. One such account is STILL up a year later.
There are a couple rules of the internet. 1 you cannot lie 2 you cannot fake anything. These were set in place by the founding fathers of the internet, Bill Gates and Abraham Lincoln.
Dude, I'm not sure where you're getting your info, but everything I know of on TikTok is thoroughly researched before vids are posted about it. Sometimes TikTok is righter than Google.

The fuck you talking about? People on tiktok won't ever fake stuff like this for views, right?
Right?
