Tonight at 11. It's called the Tire Challenge and teens across America are trying it for the first time! Look at our lovely stock photos of YouTube while we say mundane things in ominous voices.

The schadenfreude is every single one of us that mocked it, and the fools that bought it, incessantly when it was $3/BTC right?

yes, I know it's practically impossible to get BTC->real money back out, so the value is essentially meaningless anyway

Pretty sure his "Here was go" statement was just in reference to the fact that your post was likely to start the bitcoin argument which goes like "bitcoins are stupid" "ya, bitcoins are stupid, but some people did make money on it, so is it REALLY stupid?" "Yes it's really stupid" "No, but money!" etc etc.

It doesn't matter who your post was referencing, just the fact that it brought up the bitcoin debate.

There's some amazing schadenfreude to be found in the 2009 National Geographic documentary 9/11: Science and Conspiracy

NGC basically goes Mythbusters on all the aspects of the "controlled demolition" theories. Engineers set up a series of experiments to show that yes, jet fuel does indeed burn hot enough to melt steel, and no, not even 175 lbs of secretly-placed thermite can do more than scorch it, etc etc.

This would be interesting enough on its own, but the best segments are when they bring a bunch of the top Truthers into a conference room and show them video of the engineer's findings, and they're forced to double down. Watching these guys squirm and try to keep moving the goalposts is incredibly entertaining.

Pictured below: the director of Loose Change having second thoughts.



Link to the scene in question.

The whole thing is on Youtube and Netflix Instant, and I highly recommend it.

For bonus schadenfreude, here are some enraged truther reactions!

The comments on that page are interesting. Apparently 9/11 was an inside job, evolution is a lie, and global warming doesn't exist.

Apparently anything that contradicts your beliefs is a massive conspiracy. No chance they could be wrong about anything.

Dogma is a heck of thing. Doesn't even matter what genre/culture/subgenre/subculture you belong in. If you're a dogmatist, you're pretty much a dipshit.

It's perfectly consistent. If you genuinely believe that shadowy forces control the media, the scientists and all lines of electronic communication, then whatever theory has the most evidence supporting it must be a government lie.

I'm guessing what happened here is that some idiot parked his car on the beach near the ocean at low tide, the tide came in and the tires sunk into the sand, and he had to remove the body of the car and leave the tires behind or something.


...At least, I hope it's that, and not "someone flipped a car upside-down on the beach and THAT sunk into the sand at high tide", because :gonk:

Or, and hear me out on this one, the giant powerful body of water washed over the parked car and subsequently flipped and buried it.

Sounds like your country needs some freedom, commie. Please begin harboring terrorists and/or WMD's so that we may apply liberal doses of America.

Please be advised we may apply freedom to country regardless whether or not you harboring terrorists and/or WMD's.
