Actually I was joking, I think it's great. It's called stratospheric aerosol injection and it's gonna save us all from global warming. Sorry I mean climate change.

Ok, I know it might seem hilarious.

That's just idiotic, conspiracy theory nonsense. Con trails are just water vapour condensed from jet engine exhaust, nothing more and nothing less, just condensation.

 

[JDL]

If you say so.

Lots of conspiracy theories out there, take your pick

We’re all doomed and the end is nigh, we just disagree about the details.

I used to be a member of the, now defunct, PCAdvisor forum. Around 2004 to 2006, it used to attract a lot of conspiracy theorists. I was one of those who had a good laugh winding them up.

The moon landing one was the one that interested me.
I fully believe we went to the moon but there is actual believable proof we didn't.

The photo of the "flag blowing as if in a wind" being cheif among them.
It was later explained as the rolling effect on the flag is just off it being rolled up in transit and of course a telescopic pole was erected through the top of the flag to the pole to make the flag hang fully extended.

Well I guess that's common sense given that the flag wouldn't serve any purpose if it wasn't visible without any wind to keep it up 😂

But what amazes me is these conspiracy theorists still maintain it was a hoax even now despite the NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) satellite shows the very flag is obviously still "very" there.

Another crazy crazy set of conspiracy theorists is those flat earth people who still deny gravity exists and is the effect of this flat earth "accelerating upwards propelled by dark matter"
Ermmmmmm yeah wouldn't that be gravity...........

I'm not gonna get into an argument over this. However, I know exactly what water vapour exhaust from a kerosene powered jet engine looks like, having been observing the phenomena since the 1960s. Water vapour is more translucent than this and it dissipates within a few minutes.
Furthermore, scientists and experts have been discussing stratospheric aerosol injection for decades and it's not denied that they're doing it and why they're doing it.
Have you ever looked into it?
I doubt it.
Are you actually interested?
I doubt it.

Then after watching what is actually an interesting and serious documentary by a sensible man, then you can sensibly dispute it rather than throwing your toys out of the pram and crying "conspiracy theory", which is by the way a little predictable and worn out as a refutation of things you might not like or understand.

Talking of conspiracy theories, everyone’s favourite expert on research science, Roger Daltrey, weighed in today with an educated take on the future of cancer treatment

Well I must admit it did make me look it up

Keep it civil please.

Reminds me of the joke about how come all the people who know how to run the world are driving taxis or cutting hair.

Get-go and backstory! What's wrong with good old beginning and history.

Edit: Why invent words when there are perfectly suitable words in the dictionary and in common use.

It's something done by trendy types.
Then the sheep follow in an effort to appear equally trendy.

The type of detestable people that begin sentences and answers with "So".

The ones that really "lean into" things 🤬

I've got another name for them which I can't type here

I've got a feeling it contains letters from the word 'coconuts'.

Spot on! In my last job we did create a word of disdain for idiots which was a combination of two other words - custard

In fairness "get-go" is only a few years younger than "hi-fi". (Still don't like it, though.)

The word "guesstimation", started being used by far too many trendy TV type personalities. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I find it slightly irritating and unnecessary.

What if it starts with a double ''So''

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

All words are invented, and language evolves over time...

So you invented a word despite there being a dictionary full of perfectly suitable words? 😀
