The mudflood thing mostly seems like people being astonished to learn Washington, D.C. and other cities were built on a literal swamps and that American infrastructure has been crumbling steadily for decades. It reminds me of the Wayfair child trafficking conspiracy theory, where people were looking at the prices on Wayfair's site and saying "that much for a desk? No way, that's got to come with a kid stuffed in there"

scary ghost dog posted:just finished “oceanic” by greg egan and there was a funny story where extraterrestrial visitors from a galaxy-spanning pan-species post-mortality civilization refuse to even consider allowing a technologically advanced but non-spacefaring buglike species to join them because the buglike species are obsessed with killing each other. i thought it was rude of the aliens to deny the bugs, but the bug people made a really strong argument that they would try to kill everyone they found in space lol. Wait I thought "Oceanic" was the coming of age story about a teenager growing up in a society where the population is genetically engineered to be non-binary (one's phallus swaps between partners after coitus) and the society's origin in a spacefaring technologically advanced species was obscured by centuries of religious dogma. Wasn't "Incandescence" the story with the alien bugs?

Riot Bimbo posted:Unironically, this reality is one of countless threads running in parallell in higher dimensional machinery that prunes realities that exceed a certain scope and re-threads them to exist within it. "God's plan" is this set scope that one can never actually escape cheers. It's probably something like that

They're supposed to be asking for more money so that our enemies don't catch up, no admitting they don't have a clue what they are dealing with.

Our fastest known jet can go 2100mph and we know there's experimental poo poo that we know can go 10k mph but also we suddenly have craft that can do 40k mph vertically and come to a dead stop For some reason I'm thinking we aren't getting the full picture here Good Soldier Svejk has issued a correction as of 14:58 on Jun 4, 2021 |

Wasn't "Incandescence" the story with the alien bugs? yes, thats correct, oceanic is also the name of the short story collection, sorry about the confusion. both stories do take place in the “amalgam” continuity howmstever.

Are people taking for granted that the US government, if nothing else, has confirmed that there are physical objects that exist that completely defy all of our understanding of aviation?

pancake rabbit posted:lol yeah it owns Also just clicked that admitting that it could be adversary technology means the possibility that someone out there has rockets that can go 40-50k mph and all of our defense systems are bunk it's either aliens or the US has admitted we have no standing as a global superpower because we got lapped 10 times over in the arms race

It seems impossible that China could have advanced energy tech like that and still need an economy built on mass-producing Elvis ashtrays.

the ufos subreddit is extremely amusing to read. it's somehow pleasant, volatile, batshit, humorous, doomer, and optimistic all at once. a completely apeshit place in the best way possible

Right now it's getting like 5 minute spots as a jokey topic on news shows when it should be a horrifying revelation for a country that spends nearly a trillion dollars on defense. Also curious to see how the new-era grifter crew like Cornell and Elizondo spin this. Probably time for them to show they have the goods or join the noise
