Phlogiston is a great one. I mean we had aether theory, and we had phrenology, and we had Lamarckism (which, surprisingly enough, has had a comeback in recent decades, but interpreted and explained through the lens of evolutionary theory).

Honestly, likely things like dark matter or dark energy will be hot candidates for total revision in the coming decades, I think, but it’s not really the same ideologically driven ad-hoc theorizing as, say, Lysenkoism, so I’m not sure.

We do have people actively refusing science, not even reverting it or believing outdated practices, but simply rejecting it as in the case of flat earthers (“flerfers”), and I think that is probably as close as you get today- except, with the previous ones, at least they came from actual scientific inquiries that turned out to be wrong, where FET is just random anti-scientific fundamentalism for no particular reason.

I love that with objectively good things like cannabis and shrooms, you can basically just grow them yourself easily. It’s just nice. Not many things are nice anymore, but those facts are, and that’s nice.

I did shrooms once. I did them twice, too.

And here’s the actual paper produced by Yale Humanitarian Research Lab, showing the satellite images. It’s pretty damning: https://files-profile.medicine.yale.edu/documents/b9c14991-6b22-492e-9e16-f903d25d9b49

You don’t care that your neighbor, the last remaining superpower of the world, with enough weapons to obliterate the planet, who own the global economy, is doing or that it is collapsing into a black hole of fascism?

I’m not even from that side of the planet, and I worry a lot.

I blame the phlogiston.

I mean tons of mammal bones in a cave suggests they only knew how to get in to the caves.

What a nifty way to craft an improvised sawed off shotgun using basic materials you can find in a hardware store!

“He returned a few years later to help clean up” is the most Swedish thing ever. Man samsas om att städa.

How about a plywood box.

I can’t believe this is all happening just because he was ridiculed at a correspondents dinner.

Thanks GPT.

Sorry, the hardware is cursed.

I’m just fucking with you man.

Then at least eat your yoghurt.

Oh shit if it’s queer friendly it’s obviously good!
