Following the events of 9/11 I took a long, hard, look at myself, my life, and where I was going, and one day, I just didn't come home. I just didn't. I am guessing my wife has remarried by now and thank god I don't have any kids (that I know of), but I just lost my poo poo one day on lunch break waiting in line at loving panera bread feet away from where I saw literal people jumping to their death to avoid death by worse means. I mean people need to buy lunch or whatever but it just seemed so ghoulish. Long story short, I raided my entire bank account, fled to South America, and unfortunately John Macaffee has shot several of the dogs I've purchased for safety. Thinking of posting a GBS thread to entice people to come work out here in exchange for free room and board and maybe like a chance to ride the 4x4.

Most of the moon landing footage known to the public was faked in the Nevada desert, and broadcast from... the surface of the moon. The actual moon's surface is surprisingly flat and dull; its craters are spread out so large and smooth as to be barely visible up close, and small imperfections in the surface soil have been smoothed out by millenia of gravitational forces, so the astronauts' view was more or less a flat gray plain with little variation. But decades of science fiction had built up a very specific image in the public's mind about what the moon was "supposed" to look like with broken rocky soil and the familiar big bowl craters, and the Soviets had played this up with fake photos released from their "moon probes" (actually their cover for testing a new suborbital missile platform.) At the time the scientific community wasn't entirely certain what they would find and the Soviets' early moon photos seemed plausible. By the time NASA had their own close up photos and saw what they were dealing with they realized they were in a bind: the Soviet photos had remained unchallenged for too long after confirming the public's preconceptions of what the moon's surface looked like, so trying to contradict them now with the uninspiring and featureless photos they had of the moon would look suspicious and unconvincing. So they played along right up through the end of the Apollo missions, filming a "realer than real" version of the landing to broadcast in place of the uninspiring and fake-looking live footage. The flag, landing modules, reflectors, and other equipment they left up there is all real, but the images we saw of them supposedly being planted is all Hollywood.

We went to the moon and all of the footage and samples are genuine.

But for the first moon landing, there were too many unknowns regarding if all of the cameras and equipment would function correctly and beam back images of the astronauts taking the first steps. If the footage broadcast would have failed, it would have meant too great of a loss of future funding for NASA, the general morale of the country as a whole, and the perception of the USA's capabilities from other nations.

So secretly, the US government hired Stanley Kubrick (fresh from the realistic space effects of 2001) to create as realistic looking as possible fake footage to be used in case of a broadcast failure.

It's not known if this fake footage would have actually been used if in fact the broadcast of the first moon landing failed, but both NASA and the government needed this open to be there as a contingency. So this fake footage was in fact filmed and existed for a period of time. (It would have in all likelihood been destroyed immediately after the success of the first broadcast.)

Of course Stanley Kubrick could never talk about this, but he put clues and references in some of his movies.

You can freeze a bee and unthaw it later (scientists have done it up to a decade later at this point) and the bee will be totally fine.. The only issue is if it's a drone it may have lost its colony, so you should either freeze an entire hive at a time or just a queen you're looking to transplant later.

Black Gold!

John Lennon really wasn’t murdered in 1980. The man shot at the Dakota was actually Pete Best, the Beatles’ original drummer who came to visit and stay with Lennon for a few weeks. Insistent that the band was getting back together, Lennon wanted Best to be included since he felt guilty for letting him go just before the band hit it big.

Best was outside the Dakota celebrating his comeback when Mark David Chapman opened fire on him. As he was rushed to the hospital with intense bleeding, the doctors asked him who he was, and he could only mutter “John Lennon” before expiring from too much blood loss. The media incorrectly broke the news that John Lennon was murdered, and John used the moment to retreat from the public eye and live life unnoticed since he was officially pronounced dead.

The last anyone even heard of him music-wise was when he cut a hip-hop/rock demo with Eazy-E in 1995 that hasn’t been heard since the day it was recorded and is still locked in a vault somewhere since Eazy was too weak to finish it and died shortly thereafter. There was talks of Lennon collaborating with Tupac after Eazy, but his murder in 1996 and Biggie Smalls’ murder the year after made him swear off music for good since every musician he collaborated with died horrible deaths.

Nobody’s seen or heard from John since. Only Paul McCartney knows what he’s up to in 2021, but he denies John is still alive along with everything else, of course.

All the shortages that are happening right now (microchips, ps5's, gasoline, various things blamed on supply chain problems due to the pandemic) are actually happening because the human population has gotten too big and we are running out of resources. We will be completely out soon. They're just creating cover stories to postpone the inevitable.

There's certain frequencies you can't consciously hear but we can produce them with today's technology. They won't brainwash you or make you do anything weird but you might hear an incredibly generic techno song and get very upset and not know why: it's because they produced the sounds that are basically "dog whistle" but for humans

Lemmy from Motörhead decided he was bisexual when he noticed how many more men there were in the audience than women at his shows.

H.P. Lovecraft had a very mild case of cerebral palsy, which along with his eugenicist leanings contributed heavily to his self-loathing.

Vincent Price and Katherine Hepburn were cousins.

Penn Jillette first met Teller when he attended a performing arts summer camp as a teenager; an adult Teller was working there as a camp counselor and magic instructor.

No he wrote about it in his secret journal, the one that wasn’t published. No, you can’t see it.

Wtf are you talking about vibes though I got Tourette’s it hasn’t given me the shining or any other vibe detecting supernatural powers so far, just makes me squeal like a pig as loud as I can randomly. Well, maybe it’s more of a doglike sound than a piglike sound. Guess it doesn’t matter.

Here’s some truth for you that’s totally not a lie: prior to the 1970’s, packs of cigarettes were frequently handed out to trick-or-treaters on Halloween.
