The budget required for some of these conspiracies is greater than, you know, just doing the thing.
Eg: moon landing. Faking everything that went into the space program would be way more expensive.

That's right! The sun, the thing that prevents our entire planet from being a frozen rock, which imparts 44 quadrillion watts of energy on the Earth's surface, is just an elaborate NASA hoax!
They actually generate all that energy with...
...Uh...
???
They generate that power using the unlimited abundance of energy generated by the mental gymnastics of people like these
The reason the sun sets is it takes so much energy to run that they have to switch to a much dimmer "moon" at night to give themselves enough time to recharge the battery enough for the next day's light. It's solar-powered, so of course they need to ensure it's not running at max brightness in order to get the most gains.
Ah! The sun is run on solar power. Now I understand.
I wish NASA thought about NASA the way this guy thinks about NASA
I saw we should fund NASA like conspiracy theorists think we do. It’s amazing how much they do with so “little” money.
Conspiracy theorist don't think NASA and other orgs are ridiculously well funded. They just have near-zero concept of the scale of costs for the things that they claim. Innumeracy is a prerequisite for conspiracy theory beliefs.
NASA: this guy's right, we should build a Dyson Sphere.
I read that as "Gout controls the weather" and had a nice chuckle.
The Sun being fake is a new one to me.
Could be in response to the guy who wants to bring flat earthers to Antarctica. He wants to prove a globe by showing them, that there is 24 hours of daylight there. Now the flat earthers a fabulating about a sun simulator as a counter to it.
Look up "Solar Simulator." It's a real device scientists use to test the effects of sunlight on various things, from solar panels to satellites (depending on the size of the simulator).
Flerfs think NASA has one that they bring out during the day and float in the sky just to make Flerfs look stupid, when in reality, they don't need any help looking stupid.
Before NASA who simulated the sun? In the middle ages they had no weather? Or history is also a hoax 🤔
NASA destroyed the magic industry, captured the wizzards and forces them to inscribe runes into silicon.
PROOF OF THESE RUNES CARVED INTO GOLDEN PLATES
why is it human instinct to send unsolicited nudes?
First contact is a sexual assault suit from the galactic federation because an underaged grey found voyager
Gotta be in it to win it?
Being this stupid is a threat to national security.
is that censored word the n word? or a name or something? Why is it censored?
The word is Nazi, there is a conspiracy theory that Hitler and the Nazis fled to Antarctica. Some even say that at the poles are portals which lead inside the Earth, where they still life under a black sun. Crazy right? I still try to figure out how they manage to live inside a flat earth. Could also not figure out if Hitler is on the moon our dark sunbathing. But I think the moon is more realistic, think about it, you just have to replace the S and the A in NASA and you get Nazi. If that's not a proof enough that crocodiles are our leaders I can't help you anymore.
The sun being fake is a new one I got to say
Yeah, I can't get over that. NASA was formed in 1958... Are they saying there was no sun before then? Literally every culture that has left behind any archaeological evidence has referenced the sun in some way.
Unless they believe that the sun is a god that NASA captured in the late 50s and replaced with a simulation so we wouldn't notice. That would be crazy too, but kinda metal as far as conspiracies go.
Who never left Antarctica?!
I think it’s Nazis, based on the length of the word and placement of the tittle.
Not sure why it was edited but seems right. I think the dot of the "i" made it outside the box there.
Yup. That’s the tittle.
