Pvt.Scott posted:Oh, cool. Koko was a case of one of those people who types responses to a family’s question with the finger of their beloved vegetable? I suppose an educated horse doing math with hoof stomps might be a closer fit? Ouija by way of gorilla is at least a novel take. RIP one more half-remembered myth from my youth. Yeah Koko is a better case study on a lot of biases in human reasoning, more than a demonstration of cross-species communication. Koko did nothing wrong. She's a gorilla -- her handlers were charlatans though and somehow convinced A LOT of academics somehow ignore the glaringly obvious bullshit tactics used. I mean I was a kid, I was convinced it was real science. Looking back through even a brief history would reveal all the cracks, like the fact that NO ONE COULD UNDERSTAND KOKO BUT HER HANDLERS.

we're probably going to get an uptick in bigfoots. Bears are actually just dog men honestly. They stand up. They lanky, they got dog shaped faces. Still I get spooked badly over stuff like cryptids that reportedly watch you. A bear smiling in the window would gently caress my world up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ii1aLFfKP8 And for flying rods kid, I used to be scared badly by the though of being struck by ball lightning since the Unsolved Mysteries poo poo had me convinced it would follow me in the house and spontaneously combust me (they had said it could be a cause of THAT, in another episode).

So wait is ball lightning even real? Because in the mystery shows, they depict it as a calmly floating white orb. I can't find a reliable video or picture of ball lighting.

As a bisexual leftist I should inform people why Ft Detrick was the scene of many crimes against the American people and the world.

How do shows like that even work without commercial breaks to build up the false tension over loving nothing??

Oh gently caress you reminded me, I am requesting any ancient angels = alien poo poo. I was obsessed with that poo poo and I remember reading a book as a kid about how an ancient alien nuke explains Sodom and Gomorrah.

If someone is resourceful, capable, and making spurious claims they're usually defrauding someone. If they're uncreative, inept and making spurious claims, they're delusional. This doesn't preclude idiots defrauding people, but until the past few years, I'd assumed common sense would keep us protected from the wiles of an idiot huckster.
