OH MY GOSH I HAVEN'T HEARD THIS, BUT THIS TOTALLY FITS THE LEVEL OF ABSURDITY I'M LOOKING FOR, THANK YOU

@TipsyTentacle IT'S SO GOOD. I found an entire pinterest account full of this crazy a while back and it filled me with great joy. I have to sleep soon but I'll try to find it again tomorrow and share it here.

@gravezwave I can't wait to see, thank you!!! <3

@TipsyTentacle okay I can't find the exact one that I remember but gurl let me tell you

if you just input "alien demon" into pinterest you will peel back the thin veneer of recipes and mom crafts and reveal the rabbit hole of crazy conspiracy theorists who apparently frequent it

(but be careful if you do that because a lot of it really easily veers into gross bigotry stuff because of course it does)

(my god they have memes though. memes about how aliens are actually demons and how the Pope is a reptilian. deadass serious conspiracy theory memes.)

I'm so pleased.

@gravezwave @TipsyTentacle Goddammit, why do people keep using my high school yearbook pictures for those memes?! It's pissing me off!

@gravezwave @TipsyTentacle

YOU DON'T SAY‽‽

Would you believe that I was just yesterday drawing a parallel (as part of a game design) between Thakoldu technodemons and True Fae, that latter of whom some believe are the anal-probing aliens?

You can't make this shit up.

Or can you? 🤔

@TipsyTentacle the crystal skulls one bemuses me because it's so random. it's on the same level as "aliens built the pyramids" in that some fuck just found these skulls and was like "well past non-white people certainly couldn't have done that, guess it was aliens" and somehow it all spiraled out of control and now there's an Ancient Aliens episode on how the skulls telepathically communicate with people and are actually part of a giant cosmic computer that prophesies the return of aliens to earth. it's bonkers.

@TipsyTentacle (and ofc it's been thoroughly debunked that people several hundred years ago couldn't have created them. we can recreate how they were carved using hand tools. it just takes technical skill and any report about them that says the details are too fine to be done by human hand is wholesale lies.)

@gravezwave
Yeah, it's hella silly that "humans years ago can't be smart" is actually used by conspiracy theorists. :/

@TipsyTentacle it's a weird argument that outright ignores just how much knowledge has even been lost over the centuries and ofc it's always vaguely to overtly racist. you don't see anyone claiming that aliens built Rome (except maybe for the Ancient Aliens guy but by later episodes they were really reaching for things to put aliens into)

".... they put the [ aliens ] in the coconut, and...."

@gravezwave
All of Europe history is fake because white people aren't that smart. It was aliens. 👌👌
(I'm really going to watch ancient aliens now, BRB)

@gravezwave
Gosh, I want to watch that show now just for comedy. Where and how do they even come up with these things, oh my gosh.
( this is hella funny and amusing, A+, thank you for making my night <3.)

@gravezwave @TipsyTentacle ugh all the "ancient structures are evidence of alien visitation" ones just anger me now, partly because when I was _real_ young and wanted to believe in aliens and UFOs I'd find stuff like that in the library and not pick up on how insulting it all really was
