@j P.S. The previous guy had this video in his thing too, it was just more zoomed in. It was at 5:05 in.

@j I'll be honest. To me this footage looks like it's filmed by someone just holding a long stick with the camera attacked to the stick. Aside from the audio (which could just have been edited in later), I don't see anything that convinces me this is shot from a helicopter.

Also, what's with the shadow from the "egg"? What time of day is this shot at? Clearly it's not at night, cause why would it have a shadow? Especially one so clearly defined. You could argue it's illuminated from nearby artificial sources, but it's more likely that would create multiple shadows, as the object is gonna be illuminated from different angles. Even the helicopter would have a light source, and I'm not seeing a shadow that would be cast because of that light.
And it's clearly not shot in night vision, cause again that wouldn't pick up a shadow like this.

One way or another, whoever released this video, edited the shit out of it. Which is reason enough to not believe it. I wouldn't be surprised if we're looking at an actual chicken egg.

You ever seen one of these videos, where everything is made to look like miniatures? You can do a lot with perspective to trick people.

And in millions of years of humanity, a few thousand years means literally nothing. That's what you don't get. Us inventing this or that some thousand years before other parts of the world means jack shit. It's mostly luck that Europe and Asia's climate favored humans to partake in other kinds of activities. Plus or minus a few thousand years is basically statistical error. Not proof of European or Asian superiority.
If European hominin had writing for a million years, and Africans still lived in mud huts till recently, as you say, THAT would have been proof of European superiority. That WOULD have been a significant, noteworthy time difference.

If you want to believe and prove that Africans are inherently inferior, I don't care. But I am gonna correct you when your reasoning is stupid.

@j Fake and gay. What, I'm supposed to believe that's infrared camera footage? Is that why everything is green? Nah, that's stupid video game logic.
1) night vision, infrared stuff is just boring black and white, grayscale.
2) if you're a science team tasked to investigate and extract something like this, you'll want proper color cameras, and a lot of light to actually see and document things.

This is someone color editing some footage they found until you can't recognize things, and then claimed "that white sphere with no distinctive features because I over edited the image is an alien egg, trust me bro".

As for the "wouldn't the pilots know!!!" argument people throw out all the time. Pilots aren't scientists. They're regular people, like you and me, that only know how to do one thing. That have trained their whole life to be excellent at one specific thing: flying an helicopter or plane. That's it. They could be the best pilots in the world, and not know the difference between an iPhone and Android.
You think that if they look out the window they can magically see the difference between a bird at a moderate distance or a plane at an insane distance? They don't have better eye sight than you. If you can get tricked by something you see at a distance, they do too. Which is why they have all kinds of instruments on board to tell them "hey, buddy, that's a plane coming right towards you", and they don't just eyeball it.

P.S. here's a real picture someone took in a deep dark cave. Notice how you can actually see things.

@PinochetsCommieCopter So you're going back far enough to establish that "black men dumb", but not that far, because you're skipping right into when European and Asian civilizations are established. Go back another 3000 years and you could laugh at Europeans too for not even knowing how to write.
A few thousand years is NOTHING in the history of human kind. Just last week I read that they found hominim bones in my own country dating back almost 2 million years. Humanity, in one form or another, has owned Europe for 2 million years, and you're bickering about the last few thousand years?

I'm on Vivaldi, and ublock origin still works for now. I'm guessing they'll turn off support for Manifest V2 eventually, but it actually has its own integrated ad blocker too. So I'm sure I'll be fine, whatever might happen.

@matrix I'm sure there's plenty of reasons for it. Me personally, I simply can't use Firefox because I absolutely hate how it renders fonts. I've tried every way imaginable to teak settings, but to me they just feel thick and blurry. With Chromium browsers by contrast, I get thin, crisp sharp lines.

@PinochetsCommieCopter What do you count as "black history"? How far back are we going here? Cause if we go back far enough, then our history would be majority comprised of living in caves. Not exactly that much more prestigious.

@Jazzy_Butts @j @matrix
People really need to remember that falsely accusing black people of rape used to be a common tactic to get them lynched.
I don't care if MLK was a womanizer. Rape is bad 'mkay, but that should be seriously investigated before throwing words around. And since the guy is dead, nobody is gonna waste time figuring out the truth here.

Personally, I'm more interested about the Rosa Parks thing. Not the first time I've come across someone saying it was a publicity stunt. But I do think it might be the first time hearing a 15 year old girl was involved.

Me: Come on, Firefox' market share can't be this low
>quick online search
>it was 2.74 in August 2024
Oh my god... it is. Firefox is dying. Samsung's browser is close to passing it, and that's an Android only thing, and only on Samsung devices. Can't wait for the cope from the open source crowd.

@sun This sounded just crazy enough to be true. Did a search. Was disappointed.

I've been saying that China lies. Slowly we're gonna start finding the truth about Deepseek, and people will slowly move away from it when they realize it's not all it's cracked up to be.

@WALFTEAM First thing I thought when I saw the clip was "Mad Max? Or something inspired by that?", then I started seeing the characters and it gave me Disney Star Wars vibes. And then I noticed the clearly vulcan character, at which point I was left completely confused. So yeah, completely unrecognizable. I'm just glad I noped out just from seeing reviews of STD.

@matrix
>was there ever an explanation for why she was having sex with a dog?
I think a different question is better suited here: was Hollywood aware of the dog pill before internet trolls were?

@PinochetsCommieCopter I don't know enough about flying to know if this is too little or a lot.

@Umlaut I could have told him that a few years ago.
If anyone asks me why I never read the books or watched the show, this is why.
