It's time to laugh your asses off!
I believe I have found THE most absurdly stupid website on the internet: http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=1324.0

Their logic is just so dumb at times, it deserves a facepalm.

Well I´m convinced. Anybody who wants to discuss this can contact me c/o Kin Arad, though we´re going on a trip with a guy called Jalo and may not be back for some time...

This just made my day - and I've sent it on to a whole bunch of other people as well. Did you read the FAQ through, "there is a giant ice wall holding all the water in, and its protected by armed forces!!"
Thanks CM

This is not comedy. This is human nature, and there is nothing funny about it. These people believe to whatever they want to believe, despite facts showing otherwise, and the only group that does so is called "religious fanatics" - and they are willing to kill everybody who do not believe in "their reality".

Come on Bask, that site is hilarious. The most amazing thing to me is that it's quite well written! I'd have thought it was written by a perfectly normal person if I hadn't actually read the content...
Baskineli (100 D(B))
25 Aug 11 UTC
Just like the Bible :)
Really bask, you're gonna make that comparison? I showed this site to my friend who's an atheist, and he found it hilariously idiotic, and he said that although he does sort of feel the same way about Chistianity, he finds it much less idiotic. And I'm sure the top Christians apologists (or any Christian apologists for that matter) can defend Christianity much better than any of the people who believe this site can defend flat earth. But anyway, I don't want to get in an argument about religion right now, so that's all I'm gonna say.
@pj: yes, the faq is hilarious. My favorite part: "Q: "What about Lunar Eclipses?"
A: A celestial body, known as the antimoon, passes between the sun and moon. This projects a shadow upon the moon."

What the fuck is an antimoon? This is making things unnecessarily complicated.

@CM

Ptolemaic epicycles were also unnecessarily complicated and yet people believed in them. Of course they were wrong as well but although it's a great rule-of-thumb, the simplest solution is not always the right one.
I was telling all my friends at school about them, and we were all looking at the site, laughing our asses off at the absurdity.
ulytau (541 D)

When it comes to seriously meant absurdities, I like me some wikis like Metapedia or Conservapedia.
Conservapedia's not that bad most of the time. And despite my name, I'm not a conservative anymore, btw. What's medapedia?
Jack_Klein (897 D)
26 Aug 11 UTC
Conservapedia IS that bad all of the time.

I'm kind of hoping its a giant and elaborate trolling.... unfortunately, I think Andrew Schafly is far too serious, unfortunately.
I wish it was a troll, honestly... the fact that people can write and believe that kind of garbage.
ulytau (541 D)
26 Aug 11 UTC
Conservapedia's articles are at their best completely useless stubs. Usually, it's just a bunch of hogwash embarassing anyone who is actually a sane conservative.

Regarding metapedia:

there was this one question none of them could answer i forget now but it was hilarious how no flat earthers responded to it despite constant bumping

also i lol at their "spotlight effect" explanation for night. wow.

and what the hell is the "pro-european struggle"???????

I have a horrifying, shameful confession:

Their headquarters is...

In the city next to whee I live, and the city where I go to college.

And EVERYONE, professors and students alike, learn this and facepalm so hard...!

WHY US!

(NOW does everyone get what I mean when I say the area I live's one of the shittier, stupider places in all California?

Just today, true discussion...

Guy: So you believe there's no God, huh?
Me: No, sir, not the God of the Bible, for sure.
Guy: Yeah...well...HOW'D THAT TREE GET THERE! HUH?!
Me: ...Someone...PLANTED IT, maybe?
Guy: *Blinks*

That guy's brother stopped me the other day and asked me who built that sinful city we were in. Turned out it wasn't man as I thought but Satan.

And metapedia is basically nazipedia.

Bug in webdiplomacy?
In our game (after Autumn) the Austrian has to give retreat orders, although he has nowhere to retreat to ánd above he has no sc's left.

Is it possible to check if there is only one option for a retreat, process that one option and move to next phase?

I'd just like to thank all that were in it and gracefully paused as my computer's motherboard (actually my back-up computer, same model, Dell XPS M1330, never going to buy another Dell again. My own computer had a motherboard crash about a week ago, then I switched to my sister's). Anyway, thanks for canceling, now I'mma buy a Lenovo! Anybody recommend any other brands/models of Lenovo?

Italian Strategy - why is it always the same?
When I play games, the Italian player always insists on attacking Austria right from the start, or allying Austria against Turkey. Why is it so rare to see an attack on France? In games I play, everyone seems to take it for granted and Italy and France will be neutral to each other - a metagame which sets up for a mighty attack by Italy on France in 1902. Are there deep reasons why this is rare that I don't understand?

Pro-tip: when in doubt, throw the food out
I gave myself food poisoning by eating some mushrooms yesterday that I knew were questionable but decided to risk (thankfully, I'm smart enough that I insulate my kids from my bad personal decisions, they didn't eat any). Poison control (which is free, I'm uninsured, so I have to do what I can) says that I should be out of the woods in a day or two, until then, I'll be less coherent than usual, if possible, and likely not on as much.

So I'm reclining at home, reading The Princess Bride, when I feel my bed shake like nothing before. It felt like a wild animal was trapped underneath me. I come online, and what do I find out? The east coast was rocked by an earthquake! Anyone have thoughts on this?

So I sent an email to the moderator but one of my games is STILL paused and one of the players hasn't been on in two weeks so we can't get a unanimous vote to cancel it, unpause it, or whatever. Does anyone know what else I could try to get out of this game?
