It was a 2008 model, but otherwise, I approve of the Star Trek theme. Reminds me of the episode of Voyager called "The 37's" where they found a 1936 Ford truck floating somewhere in the Delta quadrant.

The origin of the meme that Torres can't identify sh*** with a tricorder. She scanned the bed of the truck and couldn't figure out what it was, the next person who looks at it says, "It's a pile of cow manure."

Compliments of IFLScience: Conspiracy Theorists Think They've Found A UFO On Google Maps, But The Actual Explanation Is Hilarious

One of the comments cited in the article:

"THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE – so why does NASA, & the American military hide this shit @ every opportunity ?? F.T.N.W.O. ?? ??" and "[Everyone] knows UFOs are a fact, not a maybe."

Conspiracy Theories are "fundamental to the American character".

Conspiracy Theories are "fundamental to the American character".

It's the Paranoid Style.
https://harpers.org/print/?pid=66800

American politics has often been an arena for angry minds. In recent years we have seen angry minds at work mainly among extreme right-wingers, who have now demonstrated in the Goldwater movement how much political leverage can be got out of the animosities and passions of a small minority. But behind this I believe there is a style of mind that is far from new and that is not necessarily right-wing. I call it the paranoid style simply because no other word adequately evokes the sense of heated exaggeration, suspiciousness, and conspiratorial fantasy that I have in mind.

That "The Storm" QAnon video looks like satire, but it's a real phenomenon. @gerrycan told me about it months ago. At that time the storm was apparently about to hit, so he told me to follow QAnon. I just ignored it, as there did not seem to be anything there. Still isn't.

So is Religion.....
...both of which are a human characteristic, worldwide.

When I started reading that, I thought it was a new article..... then a couple of paragraphs in, I realized it was from 1964.
Is that funny ?


(well the "Goldwater" mention did trip-me up at first)
That it was Harpers... completely bypassed me.........hmmmmmmm....

The video features the magically more than half hidden Eddystone Lighthouse and a resent sinking of a flat earth ship. God rest their souls!

Not exactly 'debunking humor', but I find it an amusing anecdote for taking things out of context (sort of).

The story came to my attention via IFLScience

This poor specimen (blobfish) won

the honor of becoming the Ugly Animal Preservation Society's official mascot

.

It turns out that this fish out of water, had been (IMHO) unfairly maligned.

However, not everything is what it seems with this fugly thing. You'll be shocked to hear that blobfish look pretty normal when they are in their natural habitat deep in the seas off southern Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. The gelatinous blobs we think of as blobfish are actually decompressed specimens suffering from decompression damage.

Searching Brainy Quote (site)....

..... surprisingly, Buckminster Fuller once said...
"Watch people living with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease share their stories."

I wonder what he meant by that ?
