This is why I love the “Covid is faked” conspiracies. Like really?? You think the WHOLE WORLD is working together THAT EFFICIENTLY?? Even the countries that hate each other? Wow cheers for the optimism
Look up the manhattan project you dipshits
You mean the project where the only reason there was any secrecy was that none of the people had any part of the wide reaching project (Oppenheimer, Einstein, and all the others were pretty much kept way away from eachother) and was almost brought down as a secret in the group by one of the guys being an amateur safe cracker? That Manhattan Project?
The one where everybody near Los Alamos knew that something big was happening, because they were actively hiring during the War?
The one that had so many close calls to they’re working on some kind of bomb that by the time the war was over you had people involved blabbing, to the point the Rosenbergs happened?
THAT Manhattan Project?
The Manhattan project, the one that the editor of a science fiction magazine (I think it was Astounding) figured out was happening because all the physicists who subscribed suddenly changed their addresses to Los Alamos?
That Manhattan project?
We’re talking about the Manhattan project that Kodak had clearance to know about (and even got advanced warnings about tests) because they figured it out when radioactive fallout from the tests contaminated their x-ray film? That one?
And that was still just one government using the fullest extent of their power to try and keep just one secret in a time before cellular phone cameras or the internet. Imagine thinking multiple, rival governments agreed to fake a virus to fool just some of their citizens into staying home from work, while also agreeing to pay billions of dollars to compensate them for it.
A lot of people on my ‘silly victorians lit their homes with undetectable gas’ post have been wondering what wild and wacky things we use today without realising it and people a century from now will mock us for relentlessly.
Its the plastics. Just completely absurd quantities of plastics. Particles in every part of our bodies and environment. Plastics being marketed as environmentally friendly. Breaking down every time we wear or wash our clothes or walk in our shoes or drive our cars and if our belongings catch fire in our desperate efforts to save the others, the fumes from our furnishings and carpets and clothes give us every type of cancer at once.
To the terfs in the notes: No, the great technological folly of the era is not fucking trans people. History will remember you like phrenologists and asbestos.
we can easily kill the profitability of this site for another 10 years all we have to do is write another cock monologue and pin it on neil gaiman this time
