What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
From my (dumbass) third party perspective both Whee and Jazerus are doing the exact same thing, given that it is almost impossible to speculate about something about which we know nothing and have no information about whatsoever, and especially when we, as human monkes, are inevitably going to merely be reflecting our own cognitive biases back at ourselves no matter what.

It kinda reminds me of the old problem of how writers can only write characters as smart as they are. Or medieval philosophers arguing about angels and pins. Not something to get all red, mad and nude about

even if birds arent real (they are tho) there is every chance we're going to discover evidence of current or ancient microbial life on mars or one of the outer planets' moons within the next 20 years, maybe even advanced forms like spacefish or something in the icy moons' oceans. We're going to be able to see if anyone's burning a big fatty on planets orbiting nearby stars with the james worb

i spend way too much time in the climate, doomsday econ and covid threads (and in my day job lol), jerking off my :spergin: brain looking at ~studies~ and ~data~ and convincing myself that this will lead to enlightenment (or useful knowledge at least)

this is a good thread to take a break from that and read funny posts mixed in with wild weird poo poo. and like the epstein thread, it's one of the only places on the internet for that kind of thing that's not overrun with chuds or straight-up deadshit cunts.

Re pnut sharing: there are a few tweets where they mention that they are sharing a lot of curious details about Earth with other cultures - they even have exhibits with artifacts/duplicates of everyday life of newly introduced worlds on their colonies.
And they mention that they are also sharing many of their interactions on Twitter - so take your chance and entertain the pnuttys on Twitter - your tweet/message may be shared with the galaxy!

Of course with goon shitposts these messages will convince the galaxy that Earth is beyond salvation and ready to be destroyed...

anyway have some Ross everyone!

https://youtu.be/RSK6G5b4-_I

quote:

Ross: I actually think the problem we have at the moment is... I'll tell you my gut instinct, this is my gut instinct as a journo. As I said earlier I'm in no doubt that the United States has retrieved technology that it believes is intelligently crafted by a non-human intelligence. I have no doubt about that whatsoever. I've heard that from multiple sources and there's more than enough information on the public record now, including from the cheeky slightly flirtatious statements from Luis Elizondo, I'm in no doubt about that whatsoever. What I think though, is the most interesting admission that's been made by any insider is the comments that were made before he went into Aerospace Corporation by Dr. Eric Davis. And I know there are a few people who try to pour poo poo on Eric Davis and say he doesn't know what he's talking about and he's hiding behind his security clearances and making himself sound more important than he is, but I've spoken to people who've vouched for Eric Davis. He knows what he's talked about, and he's talked about the fact that there's been a back-engineering program trying to re-engineer this technology for decades, and it hasn't been very successful, and that I think is the issue.

quote:

Ross: But I do think there are people at the top of the echelon who know what's going on, and I think a very small number are read into this. Quite a number of the scientists that I've spoken to who have been part of what they assert was 'the program' attempting to back-engineer some of this technology, they describe a scenario where it's so frustrating for them as a scientist that they've been given literally an object to investigate. They're not told anything about it other than a few very limited facts, and they're then told try and figure out how it works. Now the basis of the good science is to publish what you know, put it open for peer review, and allow everybody to analyze your data and tear it down and reassemble it and see what you can conclude as a result of it. That's not happening with this, and that's the tragedy. The tragedy is that I'm told we haven't been very successful in replicating whatever this is, that's the issue.

Yes there are a few people, a very small number of people I suspect, I doubt even a President knows the full story. I suspect George Bush Sr knew the full story, he was probably the last President to be fully read into this, but I don't Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, or even particularly not Donald Trump had any idea, and certainly not Joe Biden. (lol)

quote:

Ross: ... he was literally shown telemetry data showing an anomalous object, craft, call it what you like, maneuvering in front of a DSP defense program satellite changing velocity, changing course, and then entering Earth's atmosphere. I'm told by both American an Australian sources who've worked out of the Pine Gap facility, and that's the facility that records ICBM launches all around the world, it's like America's early warning satellite scanning system for rockets essentially, anomalous space objects. There's also a space telescope in southern Australia, and that's all hard wired into a data feed that goes back to the United States, but a lot of this is run by Australians, and we're doing quite a good job helping out US space command, but I'm told that as well as space junk, increasingly this data is detecting anomalous space objects, objects that are clearly showing intelligent control. But as for what their purpose is, I have no insight into what the purpose is of this, all I can say is yes data is being collected and people are worried about it.

quote:

Ross: Let me preface everything I say here by saying just because I'm reporting what I've been told about the future human hypothesis, I'm not necessarily subscribing to the notion, that I believe it. I've heard it from multiple sources and other people I know have heard it from other sources that are independent of mine, so I do believe that there are people in the intelligence and defense community who are purporting to be aware of this scenario. I cannot explain why they don't just, if this is a future human scenario, wouldn't the best thing to do, and it's the best argument frankly too, why don't they just manifest themselves on the White House lawn in a big flying saucer and everyone can get on with their jobs. I don't know, all I can do is speculate that it involves a fear of adjusting the time stream, which is what I was told, that essentially the very fact of being overt alters the time stream. My understanding, my limited understanding, as much as my tiny little brain can cope with this whole notion, the best it's been explained to me, it's not a case that you can alter the time stream anyway, directly, it's more a case that by going back in time, if this was theoretically the case, if this was possible, by going back in time the increasing speculation is all it's going to do is open up a multiverse, it's going to open up an alternative universe, with an alternative time stream. And so that's what's been explained to me, is that whilst you might have a scenario where, let's assume that there is one group of future humans that wants change to happen and one group of future humans that doesn't want change to happen, maybe they don't know what their meddling will achieve. You know, we're speculating that they know what they're doing, maybe they don't, maybe they're like us, but maybe they're aware that there is a future cataclysm or some kind of apocalyptic event, and they're nervously trying to feel their way around how to deal with it. We assume that people know, we assume our political leaders and our military leaders, and our intelligence chiefs, all know what's going on. In the same way maybe we're assuming that the future human scenario knows what's going on, maybe they don't, but maybe they're trying to do something to let the people in power know that there's a scenario here that's an enormous risk to humanity, and perhaps the most plausible explanation here is that they want to do this with minimal disruption to the time stream.

i also don’t buy future humans at all, but it’s interesting that it’s a view that’s ostensibly being pushed by multiple sources in military/intelligence to different sources outside, which indicates that it’s either somewhat widely held belief or coordinated disinformation

as Ross has pointed out previously regarding the many people working in military/intelligence organizations who reach out to him, and as well of course to other journalists, at least some of them will be deliberately feeding him disinformation

After a distinguished career spanning nearly fourteen decades with the Time Cops, Captain Musko is finally retiring to focus on exploring his true passion, gaming inside the Metaverse where he can spend time with his Luxe model TruWaifu. His eyes sparkle with laughter above his otherwise stoic face as one of his colleagues regales the guests of his retirement party with an embarrassing anecdote from Musko’s past, and just as everyone bursts into laughter at the ridiculous climax of the story a large party balloon in the shape of the Captain’s old badge drifts a little too close to the portal…

Years back a goon drank so little water it gave him renal failure that was intense enough that the hosed up blood proteins clogged up his retinas or his blood chemestry was so hosed it damaged them irreparably somehow. I don't think it got so bad that he could see literally nothing, but it was enough to be legally blind, not be able to drive a car, poo poo like that. It may or may not have been exacerbated by only drinking stuff that wasn't healthy, but I can't remember except that his hideous tale of woe and warning ended with him stressing goons should drink water, lest they end up like him.

Basically like those old era internet stories of getting addicted to wow so bad you end up in the hospital. People forget poopsock was real. All that stuff was real. loving goons got convinced to boil cauldrons of piss and come and apply the paste left over as "concentrated pheromones" to win the goonettes. A troll post so powerful some goons actually posted pics of them ruining their apartments with the stench.

i feel like panspermia wouldn't produce other humanlike creatures even if it was 100% confirmed to be real and the main origin of most or all lifeforms everywhere. It's just way too much of a crapshoot to get to such a weird, haphazard, barely functional sapient organism. Yet at the same time humans are somehow against all odds able to do crazy poo poo that could be totally implausible if you described one to somebody.

e: basically "p-nutties are specifically genetically designed on purpose to resemble humans and not freak out the humans to the best of our abilities" is way more plausible than them just spontaneously ending up with something reminiscent of a human face. Now if there's ten gorillion species you roll the dice enough maybe you do get some that look mostly human. What are birds? We just don't know.
