That moment when you come to terms with the fact that one of your parents is a fucking idiot.

Oh sure, all of the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, police, and whatever other secret entities in the government we don’t know about couldn’t figure it out.

But Joe Nobody somehow has the knowledge to find that one piece of evidence that pulls it all together. Some people really are nuts.

For these people, this shadow government is both competent enough to achieve the most involved conspiracies, but at the same time, incompetent enough that Joe Nobody could just show up, look at the scene 60 years after the fact and figure it all out with their ambient temperature IQ (in Celsius).

There’s plenty to criticize our governments for already.

I feel like nobody in this thread has been to the actual, official 6th floor museum in Dallas. They play up every “conspiracy” explanation you can imagine.

They have the exact spot in the book depository (the book depository is the museum) where Oswald was shooting, but they also have the alphabet agency sound dissection where the actual experts predict multiple shots occurred with a diarama of where the shots may have eminated from.

They have like the suit of the guy who shot Oswald and they really talk on printed images about how weird it all is.

When you go outside they have plaques on both the grassy knoll and the area directly behind it saying this is where possible other shooters were.

I think the plaque commemorating the death says allegedly.

That one piece of evidence that has somehow survived 60 years, but also has been missed by the hundreds of experts and thousands of other “free thinkers” who scoured the area over the years.

Give him credit. He already solved six other great mysteries (building the pyramids, stonehenge, lindberg baby, and three others I couldn’t be bothered to think of), he’s just not getting due press about it.

I don’t know one way or another. But it feels like the dad could just be a funny person who said a funny thing. Like a joke, by a dad. A father joke, you could call it.

Everyone out here with the psychological profile of the guy based on one humorous tweet.

The kind of father I am going to be, lmao. Saying batshit so my children think that I am actually insane, while having the ability to provide to the family and keep a good life. I think this is one of the most fatherly skills. A dad can come up to a son and say things like “led lightbulbs are bad, they don’t warm the room like the old ones” (my dad actually said that, while working with electrical engineering).

…I mean that’s actually a thing, the electricity savings on your power bill are reflected in your heat bill. Canadian farmers use a single 100 watt incandescent bulb in a 4x4 shack to keep the water pump from freezing at minus 40. Never mind the idiocy of LED tail lamps in cold climates.

I replaced an incandescent bulb in my basement with an led, and my pipes froze the next winter. Took me a minute to figure out why.

As long as you’ve got some form of heating running, every electrical device in the room is ~100% efficient.

Also, because this is absolutely hilarious: They make heated LED lights for use in really cold places.

Why not just have a small cheap space heater that lasts forever and for light source, the LED?

He properly said it as a joke, and she probably laughed at his joke knowing it was a joke. Then it dawned on her that this would make a great place to farm likes and laughs off of Twitter. Can we still refer to it as twitter if referringto it in the past?

Man, remember when your country’s kooks were all “The CIA killed JFK” and “They’re hiding aliens at Area 51”, rather than being all “Ukraine belongs to Russia” and “The Nazis had some good ideas”.

I see a lot of, “My conspiracy talking points closely align with American adversaries and are actually foreign propaganda used to destabilize me and my compatriots” these days.
