Hello everyone~ The megathread is very eepy this week so I am being very quiet and not posting a whole essay as that might disturb their rest. The megathread does a lot of work for us after all, so they deserve to rest a little. Our regularly scheduled effortposts will continue next week.

Nonetheless, I hope that you (yes you!) are doing well, whenever it may be that you happen to be dropping in. I wish you all the best~

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

    Gods, you just unlocked a memory of me at like 10 years old watching a few spirit science videos because Youtube recommended them to me and I was big into science youtube ala Kurzsgesagt at the time. I don’t think I ever believed any of it even then at least, but kinda crazy to think of how it could have impacted me if I went further down that hole. I’ve always been the type to have a like morbid fascination with this stuff though, like you sorta describe.

    In hindsight I also think the gender essentialism of basically all these conspiracy theories is kinda ridiculous too. Like even ignoring transness, how anyone can take “men and women used to literally be two different alien species” seriously is beyond me.
