anything qanon related will make your brain implode faster than a carbon fiber pressure hull at 12k feet.

edit: this is not a good thing

Yeah, I’m all for conspiracies and many have been proven true over time. Q is a whole different world.

I want the return of fun conspiracy theories.

Bigfoot. Aliens. Secret government weapon projects.

Government surveillance and things like Iran-Contra and MK Ultra are what I’m meaning.

A while ago I discovered that my home town newspaper made their entire archive searchable online. For fun I decided to search for my family to see if anyone had been in the papers.

The only one I found was my dad in a city council meeting public comment session arguing against fluoridation of the water supply and saying it was a communist plot.

Yep. That’s my dad. I once found a box of John Birch society leaflets in our attic. If it wasn’t for the fact that operating anything more complex than a light switch is effectively beyond him, he’d be up to his scalp in q-anon bullshit.

As it is, the tv never changes from fox news.

Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK, his head just kind of did that sometimes.

Tor. A serious study of as many .onion sites as I could find. There are many reasons why people want to be anonymous. I don’t know why, I just felt compelled to look at the edges of humanity.

Back in the early 2000s, I heard tell of Freenet, thought it sounded like a cool project, and started poking around there. I soon determined that a lot of the material being exchanged there was not anything I wanted anywhere near my disk, even encrypted. Deleted it pretty darn quick.

Sounds like when I was a kid in middle school around that era and just discovering the wild world of internet porn. Saw girls my age in some of the darker corners of the net back then, and somehow something clicked that I probably shouldn’t be seeing what I was seeing.

Drug dealers, arms dealers, hit men, conspiracy theorists with apparent mental health issues, child porn. I was at least somewhat amused until the last, then it was like, “Yeah no, I’m done with this” All you need is a copy of TAILS.

yeah, ouch. my condolences to your humanity. :-(

If there is a credible global survey of .onion sites available (with content statistics), I would definitely be interested in it.

Not even TAILS, the Tor Project has full software bundles available on their website

One time I had a weird skin thing and was trying to look up whether I should be worried about it, and stumbled onto a bunch of shit about Morgellons Disease, in which people think they have fibers or parasites growing out of their skin.

I just had a weird ingrown hair.
