I wish NASA thought about NASA the way this guy thinks about NASA
I saw we should fund NASA like conspiracy theorists think we do. It’s amazing how much they do with so “little” money.
Conspiracy theorist don’t think NASA and other orgs are ridiculously well funded. They just have near-zero concept of the scale of costs for the things that they claim. Innumeracy is a prerequisite for conspiracy theory beliefs.
That’s because the money flows to NASA under the table.
NASA: this guy’s right, we should build a Dyson Sphere.
That’s right! The sun, the thing that prevents our entire planet from being a frozen rock, which imparts 44 quadrillion watts of energy on the Earth’s surface, is just an elaborate NASA hoax!
They actually generate all that energy with…
…Uh…
???
Solar simulators are actually really cool, and it’s a shame these goobers are too busy pretending to know everything, in order to feel special, to actually learn what they are.
(If someone hasn’t heard of them, here’s one of the biggest ones.)
Wow
They generate that power using the unlimited abundance of energy generated by the mental gymnastics of people like these
They actually generate the sun using solar power. Duh.
Thoughts and prayers, duh.
Another comment explains that it’s solar powered.
If it’s 44 quadrillion Watts per year, how many is it per second?
44,000,000,000,000,000 / 365.25 = 120465434633812.457 per day (including the approximately 1/4 of the leap day).
/ 24 = 120,465,434,633,812.45 per hour.
/ 60 = 83,656,551,829.036 per minute.
/ 60 = 1,394,275,863.81 per second.
As in, nearly 1.4 billion watts per second, which I remind everyone is just the sunlight that manages to hit the earth and is not radiated out into space, into which the target area of the Earth is not even a rounding error, with the staggering majority of it hitting approximately nothing – even accounting for all the other planets, asteroids, comets, and other debris in the solar system.
I’ll go ahead and point out that the entire energy consumption of everyone on Earth for the entire year of 2023 was estimated at 183,230 terawatt-hours, or 183,230,000,000,000,000 wH. It would only take 1.52 hours for the amount of energy from the sun that hits the Earth to equal that. Which begs the question of why, if “NASA” can somehow generate this much power in secret to bamboozle everyone into thinking the sun exists as it self-evidently does to anyone with functioning eyeballs and a brain, we’re not using this magical power source for everything and instead we’re still drilling for oil and gas and other dumb shit, nor what they do with the other 99.982% of the energy…
I see my comment flew over your head, although I appreciate all the info you shared. It’s just that the sun doesn’t deliver Watts per year or per second. The Watt is a unit of power and as such is already energy per time. Watts/year is a nonsense unit, at least in this context.
Actually I miss read my source. I was assuming the figure I was quoted was a watt-year.
The Sun being fake is a new one to me.
Look up “Solar Simulator.” It’s a real device scientists use to test the effects of sunlight on various things, from solar panels to satellites (depending on the size of the simulator).
Flerfs think NASA has one that they bring out during the day and float in the sky just to make Flerfs look stupid, when in reality, they don’t need any help looking stupid.
Could be in response to the guy who wants to bring flat earthers to Antarctica. He wants to prove a globe by showing them, that there is 24 hours of daylight there. Now the flat earthers a fabulating about a sun simulator as a counter to it.
I’ve delved down this hole myself in recent months because it’s fun. YouTube channels I’d recommend for people wanting to laugh at flerfers:
The ones I can think of off the top of my head are: SciManDan, Creaky Blinder, Conspiracy Toonz, David McKeegan and Fight The Flat Earth (FTFE). I’ve also been watching a lot of Planet Peterson lately, but his way of doing things is very much “say something stupid and I will verbally lay into you until you admit you’re a fucking dumbass” which I’m sure can grate on some people and make him come across as very obnoxious and rude.
But they will all help educate you on why flat earth (and other conspiracies aside) are stupid, to varying degrees, espeically Dave McKeegan if you’re into photography.
You clearly don’t watch enough videos of someone ranting for 3 hours on YouTube. Then you’d know all about it.
Who never left Antarctica?!
I think it’s Nazis, based on the length of the word and placement of the tittle.
That makes a hell of a lot more sense than what I thought it was. But why’d they censor “Nazi”? I assumed it was a slur because why else would you censor an “n-word”?
Not sure why it was edited but seems right. I think the dot of the “i” made it outside the box there.
Yup. That’s the tittle.
Watch your language, we don’t want to tittle-ate the weans.
Nazis, there’s a conspiracy theory that they built a secret compound there to do ??? (Nazis shit), fled to that place that is still undiscovered to that day so, obviously still working.
I didn’t know they would be equal to deep state.
The reality is that those cumslain trumptards are mistaking the former Soviet Vostok base with a secret nazi base.
No, you missed the best part of the conspiracy theory! They moved to Antarctic base in order to secretly develop and build UFO-like discs (Die Glocke) and that’s why operation HighJump failed! Nazi UFOs!! They’re gonna kill us all or something!!
Ah yes, the UFO they used to build their base on the dark side of the Moon. I’ve seen a documentary about it, something-Iron Sky.
Is it any good? Never heard of it before and the poster looks… Interesting lol
Honestly yes, but to be taken for what it is, a voluntarily dumb SciFi movie.
From memory, the special effects were good, and for the story well… Hidden Nazi base on the moon with Nazis UFO and Nazi T-Rex.
It is exactly as it sound, dumb so a must see for pop culture.
Don’t buy it tho, sail the high seas.
Obviously I’m gonna pirate it lol, definitely not worth paying for it :)
Nick’s never left Antarctica, he’s afraid of flying.
One of the n-words, it’s most likely the one you’re thinking of.
Why’d they put black people in antarctica? What?
How many fucking n-words are there?!
None.
Not a one.
Nope. Nothing.
I heard there were Nine.
Nazgul?
Nearly.
Nilch.
Never?
Being this stupid is a threat to national security.
You joke, but that is just about the sum of it. Illiteracy followed by deranged conspiracy theories erode public trust in institutions. The current GOP is case and point.
Im not joking at all. These people need reeducation. Where is the Patriot act when you need it?
They seem pretty able to write on the back of their car.
I don’t think this person understands how equations work.
The reason the sun sets is it takes so much energy to run that they have to switch to a much dimmer “moon” at night to give themselves enough time to recharge the battery enough for the next day’s light. It’s solar-powered, so of course they need to ensure it’s not running at max brightness in order to get the most gains.
Ah! The sun is run on solar power. Now I understand.
Bold of you to assume the moon is real.
Bold of you to assume any of this is real.
Before NASA who simulated the sun? In the middle ages they had no weather? Or history is also a hoax 🤔
NASA destroyed the magic industry, captured the wizzards and forces them to inscribe runes into silicon.
PROOF OF THESE RUNES CARVED INTO GOLDEN PLATES
why is it human instinct to send unsolicited nudes?
Gotta be in it to win it?
The universe was actually created by aliens(including Hitler) last week
Why include the bit about Hitler. That’s like saying “All dogs, including my dog”.
Many people actually dont know Hitler was an alien
I also said “aliens”, not “all aliens”. A lot of them were busy playing with cats and other tasks
That’s his Vanifesto!
The sun being fake is a new one I got to say
Yeah, I can’t get over that. NASA was formed in 1958… Are they saying there was no sun before then? Literally every culture that has left behind any archaeological evidence has referenced the sun in some way.
Unless they believe that the sun is a god that NASA captured in the late 50s and replaced with a simulation so we wouldn’t notice. That would be crazy too, but kinda metal as far as conspiracies go.
You’re using to many brain cells to try to understand them.
Flat sun society!
In 1816 was the year of no summer. The common explanation is that a volcano erupted reducing the amount of sun light that hit the earth making it much colder for that year. But really the Truth is much crazier.
Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials for 1000’s of years, some wanting to see humans evolve technologically others wanting to stop or slow our knowledge due to our violent nature. Well after many decades of back and forth fighting, the anti-human ET’s went all in and decided the only safe galaxy was one without Earth and started a chain reaction to destroy the sun. This was 1816.
But… we still have a sun you say. Yes but it isn’t real. NASA (New American Science Academy) which was founded in 1690 in New York had been in close contact with the Pro-human ET’s , who unfortunately were blindsided by this very radical display from the Anti-humans and missed their opportunity to stop them. So the only thing they could do was to ‘rebuild’ the sun giving NASA the information on how to keep it going.
You should join this cool new cult with me.
The night time is the right time! The night time is the right time!
I’m sure some people here are old enough to get that reference.
Ray Charles?
Fuck, some people are beyond saving. I hope this person is incapable of having children and is not in a position to teach or interact with kids at all.
Or vote
I’m genuinely worried they’re driving.

is that censored word the n word? or a name or something? Why is it censored?
The word is Nazi, there is a conspiracy theory that Hitler and the Nazis fled to Antarctica. Some even say that at the poles are portals which lead inside the Earth, where they still life under a black sun. Crazy right? I still try to figure out how they manage to live inside a flat earth. Could also not figure out if Hitler is on the moon our dark sunbathing. But I think the moon is more realistic, think about it, you just have to replace the S and the A in NASA and you get Nazi. If that’s not a proof enough that crocodiles are our leaders I can’t help you anymore.
god i fucking hate the internet sometimes. What a stupid conspiracy lol.
It’s like someone watched Iron Skies 1 and 2 and mistook them for documentaries. I keep waiting for them to praise Hitler riding a T-Rex.
People censor so much on the Internet and it baffles me. Like, thanks for saving my sensitive eyes from the word Nazi I guess?
thank god, if the word nazi was there i would’ve saved my time not having to think about what that word was, leaving a comment about it, and then being confused about half of the words in the post lol.
Your tires are fake = slashes them
