Yes, I do still browse reddit, mainly for hockey and some niche subs that aren’t here yet. Once in a while I dip my toes into r/all to see the garbage that floats to the top and this one popped up today.
r/conspiracy has always been a shithole, but when I first saw this post I thought it was on a meme sub, but no, those morons actually believe this shit. Truly blows my mind how amazingly stupid a lot of people are.
If you feel like having some of your brain cells commit suicide you can read the comments here - https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/1m6p3p6/octopuses_lived_before_dinosaurs_and_were/
If there’s a better way to share a reddit post without giving them clicks let me know and I’ll edit my link. I know I’ve seen it before but I don’t remember what it was.
Is that even an octopus? Like yeah, it has tentacles, but that doesnt mean its an octopus.
The wiki article has more info, but it’s basically one fossil, originally classified as octopus, but that is now retracted and its connection to anything is not known yet.
Oh no, so that falls right into the Reddit trap of, well then it must be alien.
If you’re expecting any kind of critical thinking or even the slightest bit of intelligence, then you won’t find it in that sub lmao
I used to browse r/SaturnStormCube and the like for occultist story ideas so I’m used to crazy. But this is just full blown stupidity. There was 1 redditor talking about arms, and they said it had 10.
