And that is the million dollar question. Though, in all fairness, it’s worth qualifying what constitutes “coming up with it on your own”. Whomever enjoys credit the for the dovetail join in woodworking… they took an existing subject of joinery and innovated a new technique, rather than...

I have thought about this at length myself. Many “brilliant minds” of the past were uneducated allegedly? Did we have greater intellectual capacity in the past? Were volumes of knowledge opened to select few? Or maybe these folks were fabricated to give semi-recent origins to this...

Eskimo (n.) 1580s, from Danish Eskimo or French Esquimaux (plural), both probably from an Algonquian word, such as Abenaki askimo(plural askimoak), Ojibwa ashkimeq, traditionally said to mean literally "eaters of raw meat," from Proto-Algonquian *ask- "raw" + *-imo "eat." Research from 1980s in...

Ok, so this is a stretch, but bear with me. Let’s look at hollow earth again. Maybe we’re on the inside, maybe we’re on the outside, but that’s beside this point. My wife sends me plenty of fun, conspiratorial TikToks (that’s her jam), and she sent me this one where the take the dollar bill and...

No matter how many dedicated threads are started to discuss religion as a whole, any time it comes it up seems to dominate threads. That’s really unfortunate, as the devout v. the atheistic is the greatest pissing contest known to man. I think that one of the main/primary mistakes we make is...

Hahahah. That’s funny. I guess my take is a little different, as it seems to me that in the globe earth construct, “light is bent” by refraction. Personally I find that assessment to be bullshit, because the prevailing science says refraction is impossible to predict or measure as it depends on...

Whoa. That’s… well… incredibly viable… except the bending of the light part. If light truly behaves that way, which it could perhaps, that would elegantly explain a lot of the physics of the concave earth model presented. But, how can that explain a sunset? That’s a well reasoned theory, but...

Interesting and totally off topic… I’m also (still/currently) in Seattle. I love Seattle but I hate it here, and I can’t yet bring myself to leave despite the mounting reasons to. In another unrelated online life of mine… I gravitated to and became rather close with two other kindred spirits…...

That was my immediate, knee jerk reaction too: where is this info from? What is there to support or corroborate it? Or at the very least suggest it? It seems to borrow some of the Mormon veil concept. It’s fascinating indeed, but also the audio quality is terrible while the visual theatrics...

I do believe that science has set boundaries for our minds. Artificial boundaries. There is no feasible or viable explanation for something that exists beyond the confines of what we believe is possible. I don’t believe this, but perhaps our world is the result of some being’s imagination or...

Also, what’s up with the (credited) pencil inventor? And then:

Customer: “I’d like to place an order for 10,000 boards, each two hands wide” Merchant: “Whose hand? Your hand or my hand?” Customer: “The king’s hand, you imbecile” Merchant: “How wide then is the king’s hand?” Customer: “errr…”

The story, as he tells it or otherwise, isn’t particularly important to this field of study. I’m far more than the face-value of my past transgressions, and I’m sure you are as well number6

I hope it’s no faux pas to link to the “other” site… but reading through this linked thread immediately took my mind back here. The Millenial Reign of Christ and the Last Reset Suppose that the millennia of Christ did end in the/our year 1800, and that we’re in a season (1/4 of a millennia @...

The signage I find curious. None of these buildings appear to have been designed with the intent for signage. I see large, rudimentary advertisements painted onto the broadside of the buildings, boards affixed to the fascia (covering windows) with signage… basically stuffed wherever they...

AI is undoubtedly a core part of the technocracy which is descending upon us as we speak. Politicians are corrupt. Many of which are probably corrupted by TPTB, but to the unaware masses, their corruption is simply corruption not part of a grander scheme. When the useful idiots have been...

A few things worth mentioning: Scratlantis is certifiably a red herring. The only potentially meaningful implication would be that truth is veiled and we're taunted with it under false pretenses. So with that disclaimer, here's another scratlantis overlay with California island: What I'm...

I wholeheartedly agree with the notion that AI is a sound representation of groupthink. It will quickly and rather arrogantly tell you an untruth, and then apologize after you’ve challenged it. Here’s some political discourse with the liarbot (I apologize for the screenshots but it’s gotten...

Admittedly, I have a habit of digression and then laser focus on the minutia. That image is a great panorama of unknown to me, and a “verifiable” anchor point would potentially make it easier to identify other buildings. I’ll keep any further digression to myself 😬

I’m not sure if there’s any angle here, but I found a webpage with a list of known historical hammam/Turkish baths: SAN FRANCISCO, CA: Bush St/Larkin St: Turkish Baths (Men only) SAN FRANCISCO, CA: Dupont St (11): Turkish & Medical Baths (Loryea & Trask) 1876, 1880 SAN...
