How'd I do?

Flecks of junk in video float upwards. This obviously means the entire international space station was filmed underwater. Also that the entire conspiracy didn't notice the four obvious "bubbles" but one neckbeard did *wank*

How'd I do?

Also gravity can do lensing! Very rarely you can get images of stuff behind a massive object because it had precisely the right mass to bend the light from whatever is behind it and refocus it right on wherever you're viewing from.

You, a famous person, being shadowbanned on Twitter is the dumbest thing to be paranoid over. You probably get a ton of likes and retweets on nearly everything you write, so it'd take all of two seconds to realize nobody wasn't seeing your poo poo.

This one is fun because if you read it, you will see he literally understands nothing about Korea or China. Like, one of his plans is "China takes over the DMZ and North Korea gets to say that they claimed the land, and South Korea will be relieved that China is there since China would never attack them."

That's actually why he claims that he was shadowbanned. He said he'd post pro-Trump articles and links, and a bunch of people following him on Twitter were saying "Yo I'm not seeing your tweets," and when he gave a direct link to the tweet, it would say "This tweet is unavailable." For a while he was making tweets mentioning "kittens" to avoid it, and he claims when he did this, people were able to see his tweets, but if he mentioned Trump directly, they would not. He also claims Periscope purposely crashed his stream when he started talking about Trump, and that his girlfriend's Instagram had the blue verification badge removed on inauguration day.

This then prompted him to say that Twitter removing people's tweets should be considered treason.

Didn't Tyson get trolled into a rap battle over the shape of the earth?

quote:

SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENED to you in outer space. All you can remember are the last few moments, the sun fading to a speck as you and your crew broke free from the solar system, the ship’s systems suddenly shutting down, the panic and blackness inside, shouting and sobbing, outside the phosphorescent fringes of the wormhole as it opened up in front of you—and then you woke up, sweat-slick in your own bed at sunrise, with the birds singing outside, in another universe. You are trapped in the world of the popular TV astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, and you know this, because here the sunrise isn’t a sunrise at all.

In fact, the earth is a sphere orbiting the sun, so the sun does not in any sense actually ‘rise’—it’s just that you happen to be positioned right on the moving line, known as the ‘terminator’, that separates the illuminated portion of the planet from its dark side. And the birds singing aren’t really singing—actually, they’re just emitting a series of noises without any of the tonal qualities that distinguish singing from other vocal emissions. And the bed isn’t yours, because scientists have never been able to find any way of isolating ‘ownership’ in the physical composition of any object. You jump out of bed and start banging frantically at the walls. Is there no way out?

Dees is a man who believes there is a vast untapped reservoir of clean drinking water deep beneath the earth's crust, that scientists and governments have covered up to maintain their control on the populace. He is absolutely not above advocating that the earth is flat and that any evidence of space missions is fabricated.
