Anyway, why didn't you mention Gang Stalking




Also, can you guys believe there are people who believe in gang stalking.

Crazy.

Wow this guy is insane. Is he serious? wow... wow.

Hashima Island was a Japanese mining town from 1887 to 1974. Once known for having the world's highest population density (in 1959 at 83,500 people per square kilometer), the island was abandoned when the coal mines were closed down.

EDIT: Quoted for size.

Also TIE fighters from star wars are an abbreviation of Twin Ion Engine. The Ion engine is real technology. It's actually really slow though. Still cool that it exists IRL.

I always thought Twin Ion Engine was a backronym, they're TIE fighters because they resemble bow ties.

Guys,

If you line the water in the toilet with toilet paper before dropping a fecal bomb, the water will not splash up and get all over your exposed buttock and scrotal regions.

Nikola Tesla. When I first heard about him on Modern Marvels and that he's basically responsible for our entire electrical network yet never got the fame or credit he deserved.

Bout 8 or 9 years ago Iwas amazed when I learned what narwhals were. Seriously no idea how Inever managed to see them on a discovery channel special or something but they have unicorn horns... that's crazy!

Russia does have a doomsday device, it's still active and will probably annihilate the human race someday because.... Russia.

That led me to this, which is peculiarly awesome and scary

Care to link to sources? I'd like my mind to be blown as well.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

What could possibly be a decent other theory for Sandy Hook? Nobody came out of it with any stronger position other than anti-gun advocates, and things won't change anyway regarding that

Conspiracy for conspiracy's sake, fucking David Icke-type 'if it isn't the official explanation, it must be true' bullshit.

They have a website, too.

Not long now until they start devolving and feed on the flesh of topside humans.

I just found out today one of my favorite Black Keys songs is actually a cover of one of my favorite bands (The Kinks' "Act Nice and Gentle").

Wow, thanks for posting this. I just got lost down the wiki-hole for about 15 minutes!

Some of the photos of this place (linky) are just fascinating.

I saw something very similar to this recently. It's actually very eerie to be in the presence of.

I kept looking at this confused and then my jaw slightly dropped. WTF? These are the sauce tubs found in McDonalds and whatnot right? Do you just push them down?

No, you pull the sides apart.

San Zhi UFO Houses/Resort in Taiwan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanzhi_UFO_houses

The UFO houses were constructed beginning in 1978. They were intended as a vacation resort in a part of the northern coast adjacent to Tamsui, and were marketed towards U.S. military officers coming from their East Asian postings. However, the project was abandoned in 1980 due to investment losses and several car accident deaths during construction, which is said to have been caused by the unfortuitous act of bisecting the Chinese dragon sculpture located near the resort gates for widening the road to the buildings. Other stories indicated that the site was the former burial ground for Dutch soldiers.

Basically this place was never even used commercially, but fascinating designs.

Never played it, but that's what someone above said. Now I kinda want to check it out.

No. The lining is just folded paper. You just pull on the folds and they expand. Don't unfold each fold, instead just unfold like every other one. If you do unfold them all, you have what is basically a flat piece of paper.

San Zhi UFO Houses/Resort in Taiwan.

So basically a curse. They broke ground and got cursed, and after a bunch of unexplained accidents, decided to say fuck it with their UFO themed resort.

Probably for the best. Ufos, dutch ghosts, and dragon curses probably don't mix well.

I'm going with the dutch ghosts!

I am genuinely surprised that people don't know about this. Not for not knowing, but I'm shocked that nobody is sharing it. I thought this was one of those tidbits that everyone shared with each other lol...

Easiest way to do it would be to take the sauce tub, and pull it apart at every second fold on the tub. Still very secure and holds way more ketchup.

 

[akira28]

They should study Kowloon as an example for space construction.

I know this is often quoted as mind-blowing, but there is no way it is the intended use of the cup!

It sounds cool in practise, until you actually try it at a fast food joint, realizing how much of an idiot you are fiddling with a stupid paper cup for 30 seconds. You could have filled a dozen cups in half the time.

I don't think it's really that precise. When I first noticed they were scrunched, my first instinct was to just fan them out bit by bit while having the cup rotate in my hand. After a few of them, you get used to how much pull they can take and it takes a just few seconds to prep a cup before pooling the ketchup.

Doesn't take that long. Plus, the footprint of one cup holding almost 3 times as much as it should is smaller than finding space for 3 individual cups.
