For lack of anything better to do this evening I was looking for movies or documentaries about dinosaurs. Never found one I was interested in but I did find out all this below by following comments and other referenced sites after googling dinosaur movies. I started with reviews on Amazon of the BBC series 'Walking with Dinosaurs' and went from there. Some of the comments aroused my curiosity and so I learned...
1. Dinosaurs never existed. They were made up in the 1800's. A scam to sell fake bones to museums. Just one of many articles on the web, all on sites that look very well-done.
2. The earth is only 40,000 years old. Any attempts to say it is older are badly flawed.
3. The earth is flat. Exploration of Antarctica is forbidden just so that no one can prove this is true.
4. The moon landing was a hoax.
5. Leprechauns are more likely to have existed than the aforementioned dinosaurs.
6. The holodomor in the Ukraine was perpetrated by Jews or else it just did not happen.
This was just mind-boggling. A few years ago I did the same thing by Googling random terms and came across a website where the author insisted that Genesis was written by Adam himself. He was created and sat right down and began writing.
I would have continued searching the web for signs of intelligent life but a UFO was outside my window so I had to go hide under the bed. Maybe I'll just take up drinking. Geez.
I had to laugh that Adam wrote Genesis. He was long dead before the end of that chapter of the Bible :) Funny how people come up with these "facts" or their mere way of thinking.
ReplyDeleteDuring football season when watching games, I would google the various quarterbacks of the teams we were watching. It was fun to read their biographies :)
betty
I often sit here and Google stuff while watching TV. How very different that experience is from the 1950's.
DeleteYup, when in doubt, blame the Jews. Good Grief!!! The earth is flat and it is only 40,000 yrs old. Are these people real? I will sit beside you and we can exchange bottles because , even when drunk, I think we both sound more intelligent that these nut bars
ReplyDeleteWhat is amazing is that some nutter writes this crap and then bunches of folks jump on the bandwagon. Must be some of the same goofballs who think Kid Rock should be our State's next Senator.
DeleteI hear about those crazy website, but I can't say that I have ever visited one (I'm worried about having that in my search history, I guess). I had to laugh (or, maybe it was more of a cry) to read your reply to Birgit's comment, "Must be some of the same goofballs who think Kid Rock should be our State's next Senator." At one time we might have said, "Must be some of the same goofballs who think Donald Trump should be our next president." Unfortunately, the nutters and goofballs won that one, much to our nation's shame.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just Googled Kid Rock, who dropped out of high school at 15, ran away from home and ended up selling drugs before someone came along and 'rescued' him. Sure sounds qualified. NOT. Sadly, there are more nutters and gooballs than sane folks. Talk about the dumbing-down of America.
DeleteI love to google and look stuff up. One google look up, leads to another. I like to read about the old Hollywood movie stars of the 30's-70's. After that, time frame, I am no longer interested.
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish we had computers when I was in school.
DeleteWhen I googled "The Mandela Effect" on New Year's Eve, I ran across a website that claimed, among other things, that Hollywood was owned by Satan and all actors and actresses had to sign an oath of loyalty in blood - and then, for good measure, visit the casting couch for their "initiation". The Mandela Effect was caused by Satan, too. There was more, but I decided to have some spiked punch, instead. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThese goofballs are going to turn all of us into alcoholics. I did not realize that Satan was an entrepreneur. Hey, just like the President. Oooohhhhh.
