This is just a thread to tell funny or interesting stories about the strange, political poo poo you overhear or hear from other people. poo poo like the time I'm sitting at work and someone be like "the best thing about Trump is just how perfect his family is" or my Uncle trying to convince me Infowars is the one true place to get news and keep your self "woke." My uncle is in his 50s and Dominican. You know, poo poo like that. But tell it better. I'm not a good story teller. Do better. Do better than me.

My neighbor is a fairly typical old man Alaska conservative. We were chatting in the front yard shootin the poo poo about local politics (for AK, it's mostly an oil/gas or fishing discussion) when he dropped this little chestnut on me. "yeah, the main oilfields are not producing like they were in the 80s and seem to be running low" "more oil will form, might be in a different spot though" "Sure, in a few million years or so. We've burned up quite a lot in the last 150yrs. Those sea critters and dinosaurs didn't get compressed overnight" "No, it doesn't take that long at all and oil isn't made from dinosaurs. It's a natural geologic process, it comes from rocks." "What? I'm pretty sure thats not true. "Look it up"So I looked it up, it seems there were some non-biological origins for oil theories floated way back in the day but they're long since discredited, the only ones still holding on to it these days are Young Earth Creationists and my neighbor probably hasn't cracked open a science textbook since the 60s.
