Is the Moon a planet, a star or an alien conspiracy?
-
No wonder people from other countries make fun of us.
-
Obviously they're going to cherry-pick the ones that say something stupid. It's also a leading question, which will throw people off that know the correct answer.
Is liquid water a solid or a gas?

Proving you didn't even watch the video. It's not a "pop quiz" style video, it's a segment of some show where the conversation arose naturally.
-
Why would I want to watch the video? It doesn't look interesting. Is it supposed to be a bad thing to post without watching? Because I feel no guilt. I am shameless!
-
Nah, just makes you look like an idiot. I found the video funny :)
-
You should award yourself a for video watching.

"Things live on it, means it's a planet" ....

I've seen actual, statistically significant polls with basic questions like "is an electron bigger than an atom", "does a naturally grown tomato have genes" or "did humans live together with dinosaurs". The answers are far more depressing than any of those cherry picked videos of Americans not being able to locate France in a map.
The sad truth is that if you have a basic understanding of how atoms, living beings, car engines, electrical devices and stars work, you're probably in the top 10% of smartest humans.

It's not just supposed to - it's actually bad. Just like it's bad to write a review of video game you never played. I know that it's exactly how every professional reviewer operates, but it doesn't make it any less bad.
-
WTF with that video? That's even more off-topic answer than those given by politicians!

Way to make me feel better dude! Add a programming language or two and I'm on the top 5%!!!
I FEEL GREAT AND THERE'S NOTHING BLAKEY CAN SAY TO BRING ME DOWN

Does the moon show up on any maps? As a US American I'd like to find out.
We have maps of the moon. Does that count as showing up in one, if the map is of the thing itself?
-
"Things live on it, means it's a planet"
I will try to remember this next time I see a flea-infected dog

I don't really expect gay fashion designers to be experts, or even have basic competency, in astronomy.

Yes, it shows up on Google maps.

How about gay infinite-number-of-degrees foxes?

How about gay indeterminate-number-of-degrees foxes?

You don’t need to watch the video at all (unless you’re interested in the shirts they’re selling, of course) — you can let it play and read the rest of the responses here whilst listening to the people in the video talking about the moon and the sun.The sad truth is that if you have a basic understanding of how atoms, living beings, car engines, electrical devices and stars work, you're probably in the top 10% of smartest humans.
How they really work, or how the lies-to-children versions of them go? Also, you’re mentioning things that people don’t need to know for their daily lives: a car engine or an electrical appliance just works, and if it doesn’t, you take it toa magiciansomeone with the right skills to fix it. As for atoms … I doubt most people in the world even know what they are, let alone how they work.

This looks like a playlist made by an Alex Jones fanatic. Where are the chem trails?

The weird thing about conspiracy theories is how they assume most of the things in the world are still real.
I.e. if a race of reptilians controls the world to the level of being able to make a fake moon, wouldn't they also control the entire Internet, including YouTube? Why would they allow those videos to be shared with people?
And why do they still assume most scientific theories to be true? It would be so easy for them to manufacture a limited version of physics for us to learn to hide the real powers of stuff.
Heck, the whole map of the world is probably fake. There could be 10 more continents. There could be just one. We might be living on a giant spaceship. How would you ever find out, are you going to map the Atlantic ocean yourself?

To distract people from what they're really up to, of course!
-
If there is a "they," they're probably in their dark secret rooms laughing their asses off at how far off these theories are. I remember stumbling upon a video where a guy couldn't log into YouTube for about an hour and said how "they" were trying to suppress his message. The far more obvious explanation of YouTube shitting itself
probablynever crossed his tinfoil-hat covered brain.

For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky.

The moon is hollow, if by "hollow" you mean "composed mostly of empty space, just like every other material object".

Solidity is just an illusion caused by cunning electric fields…

You tempt your luck saying things like that.

Do star maps count?
a magiciansomeone with the right skills to fix it.Same thing really.
Why would they allow those videos to be shared with people?
the most effective way to hide something is to make the very concept of it ridiculous.
DISCLAIMER: I do not believe on those theories, your post just made me remember Wormhole Xtreme from Stargate SG1
Men, I replied to too much people at once.

Hey, isn't it supposed to be microaggressive or something if you don't always believe people?
-

That's the thing about conspiracies. The simple and obvious explanation is always a cover-up. You can't trust it.
-
...add to that more than basic understanding of the mentioned things, more than basic understanding of psychology, sociology and quantum physics, and i'm in the top 3% that can condescendingly look down even on you!
Oh... Did that ruin your joy?
-
On the other hand, i could probably name a few States in the US, but i'd probably get way less than half right.

It's not about belief, but pendantry. There are a finite number of degrees currently and historically available, therefore infinite degrees cannot be correct.
However, the exact number held is known to be indeterminate, in the range 0..743 as outlined, I believe, by @Polygeekery

-
I don't know, he might be counting ones he'll get posthumously.
Also: *mumble mumble zero kelvin*
-
Still a finite number. The question is then how finite... ;)
I assume there is no token dickweedery budget for the fact we're talking about pendantry and the Fox. No next Knight badge for me. Must try harder.
-

Well of course. Occam was a reptilian, after all.

Conspiracy theories are a mild interest of mine. I just love reading the arguments regarding them and just how far they'll go to "prove" their theory. Proof which consists of them saying, in so many words, "The only people you can trust are us. Everyone else are liars."
And the spectrum of theories ranging from the at least plausible but unprovable to the downright insane are hilarious. You go from somewhat reasonable theories about political powers colluding with business and media (which on at least SOME level I believe is happening, even if it's not as vast "NWO" as some believe) to the "we are ruled by alien/reptilian overlords and the evidence supporting my theory is staggering. I mean, look at Hilary Clinton's eyes and tell me she isn't a reptilian."
-
The problem I have with conspiracy theories:
Have you seen these conspirators? They can't accomplish anything even with the full observation, approval and cooperation of the general public. Yet we're supposed to believe that they are competent enough to accomplish these elaborate sinister schemes, and keep them concealed from that same public. Except of course from the theorists who've figured them out.
Sorry. The bad guys just aren't that smart. Nobody is.

Well of course. Occam was a reptilian, after all.
Well, it's the simplest explanation...

I figured out what the Moon is. It's a moon!
