This is pettier than the usual dunk tank post, but this sub is like a microcosm of propaganda. These people are convinced there’s multiple species of aliens on earth already because some moths have flown across security cameras at night and Vegas lights reflect in the clouds sometimes.

I guess I can bring it back to how America is bad, since this is exactly what the CIA wants.

I don’t mean to criticize you for posting this because it’s absolutely worth examining, but I feel like using c/dunktank to explore this topic is almost a form of punching down. It’s nothing to do with the content of your post - it’s just that this guy is clearly suffering from some sort of mental health episode and reaching out for support.

Like I said, it’s a good topic. I just don’t think we should frame it as a dunk.

Punching down on who? UFOs are strictly anglo-nato-brain phenomena. They damn near only appear in countries with US air force bases.

that map means less than nothing without examining how the data was collected. reported to whom? who collected the data? were efforts made to combine databases from all the different countries? do all countries even have databases that a large number of people both know about and can report to? did the data collector translate reports in other languages?

like, I doubt someone in China or Zimbabwe is gonna report (in English) to a US website if they see something strange in the sky.

idc one way or the other about the topic but we gotta be more critical when encountering data presented like this

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
