What conspiracy theories do you believe in? - Put your tinfoil hats on

[goh]

I'm sorry, your link is mangled. Any chance of a fixed one?

Here's the NOAA that I meant to link.
Again, I must emphasize that you need to read what they're saying here. The counterclaim to the lawsuits were:

1. There had been another hurricane in 1906 that had followed a path similar Hurricane King
2. The storm had already began when the dry ice was dumped.

Neither of these rebuttals address what was planned. The military was experimenting on a tropical storm using dry ice simply to observe what would happen. They seeded the storm, and it launched westward. Since the dry ice method was so primitive/natural, it's plausible that it would resemble another weather system.
Both points are irrelevant.

The greater point here is that we've had this technology, or at least have been experimenting with it, since the 40s. It's reasonable to believe the government can manipulate the weather on some level.

Well today is now officially a day in which I Learned Something. Never heard of that experiment before. Pretty shocking stuff. Thanks.

RE: Moon pictures. NASA have admitted to colourising Mars photos to make them red. Mars isn't red, not one bit of it is red, it's never been red, it is the same bleak colour as the moon. NASA edit the photos and aren't shy about admitting to that face. Source : NASA and Why Files.

I saw an comparison once of an image from Mars that looked just like some place in the artic. Steelmanning what I saw, it was probably actually from the artic as part of an experiment, but people saw "NASA" and thought "NASA claims this is Mars."

Where's all the autistic old people?

They exist, I've met them. @Mao Hao Hao already covered the high-needs cases, but most of the ones I know/knew personally would have been Asberger's people. Putting everything under "Austism" makes the rate look much higher than it really is.

That "missionary" who was killed on North Sentinel Island in 2019 was actually part of a medical team that abducted two of the inhabitants for medical experiments.

I've also heard that one. I could believe it.

I think a lot of stuff is down to more processed baby foods and formula over breast milk. Surely breast milk is passing on things the mother is eating. I have seen things about exposure therapies for people with allergies that suggest the rise in allergies may be from a lack of exposure.

I learned the other day that there isn't a single baby formula on the market that does not contain seed oils.

There are several islands that NASA uses for "testing" that all look identical to the Mars and moon terrain, they would never pass them off as the real thing though.

The first ingredient in baby formula is corn syrup solids.

I adjust my photos in Lightroom, which means they aren't real photos.....

You can literally look up in the night sky at Mars and see it is red. This has been observed literally for the entirety of human history.

They have color calibration targets on the rovers with known colors and shades of gray scale so they can ensure accurate color reproduction on the photos. Digital cameras don't just reproduce everything accurate in all lighting situations. They have automatic color profiles for adjusting to what they are seeing. For more accurate photos they shoot in a RAW format which captures a larger color range than your typical photos. Which often initially look flat in colors and so are adjusted to reproduce the colors while retaining more data in the brighter and darker areas of the image.

Super.

Except NASA themselves have admitted that they colourise the photos to make them more red.
You can try and debooooonk that NASA don't add red to their photos, but you would be arguing against NASA themselves.

They don't add red. All cameras use color balancing through various means, and NASA adjusts colors depending on purpose and lighting conditions. They adjust for optimal contrast, or correct for what the human eye would perceive.
They're not faking in red and Mars is actually grey/white.
/edit: Although I do wanna see where NASA admitted to colorising the photos. I'd like to know what they meant precisely.

They've not "admitted" to anything of the sort. The cameras on board their probes are for scientific purposes first and foremost, so they are designed to extract as much information as possible in particular wavelengths, rather than to take pretty pictures. They're usually (not always, but usually) a monochrome camera that takes multiple images through different colour filters, which are then re-combined back here on earth for the fancy publicity shots. The exact balance of those re-combined colours can vary depending on what they're trying to achieve with the shot and how close they want to bring it to human perceptions of colour, and how much they want to compensate for the different lighting conditions present in such a thin, dusty atmosphere, so sometimes they might be redder, sometimes less so, but that doesn't mean Mars is actually the same colour as the moon in reality. It is red; we can see it's red. Get a telescope and look at it. Up close it tends towards a mixture of reds, oranges, some browns, and even green and blue in places, but the overarching colour of the planet is red.

A lot of the current publicity images of Mars are skewed somewhat away from red to allow more detail to be visible. If they were put into approximately "true colour" (or as close to it as a camera can get), they'd be almost featurelessly red.

 

[Meriasek]

You don't even need a telescope. You can see it's red with the naked eye. There's a reason it has been called the red planet for ages.

Five seconds in google.

Quora:

NASA often presents images of Mars with a reddish hue to emphasize the planet's characteristic color, which is primarily due to iron oxide (rust) on its surface. The red appearance helps convey the Martian landscape's unique features, such as its dust, rocks, and soil.

However, it's important to note that many images from Mars missions are also processed to enhance certain features or to provide a more scientifically useful color representation. Different filters are used to capture images in various wavelengths, which can reveal details not visible in standard color photography.

In some cases, images may be adjusted or color-corrected to show what Mars would look like under Earth-like lighting conditions, which can differ significantly from the actual lighting and atmospheric conditions on Mars. This can help scientists and the public better understand the planet's geology and potential for past life.

Is Mars really red?

When you see Mars in the night sky, it definitely has a reddish tint to it.

People have been noticing that for a long time: even the ancient Egyptians called Mars 'The Red One.'

So where does that redness come from?

Well, a lot of rocks on Mars are full of iron, and when they're exposed to the great outdoors, they 'oxidize' and turn reddish - the same way an old bike left out in the yard gets all rusty.

When rusty dust from those rocks gets kicked up in the atmosphere, it makes the martian sky look pink.

From a long way away, the whole planet looks kind of reddish.

But if you get a close-up view -- with an orbiter, lander or rover -- you'll see that a lot of Mars is actually more of a butterscotch color.

Depending on what minerals are around, some landscapes can be more golden, brown, tan, or even a little greenish.

So in fact, there are a lot of different colors on what we call the Red Planet.

There are more but I CBA with even debating this. Nasa add red to the colour of photos. It's not a big deal. Stop being autistic over it.

 

[AnOminous]

It is red; we can see it's red. Get a telescope and look at it.

I'm always amazed at when people say dumb shit like this. Like Flat Earthers. Like literally just buy a fucking plane ticket, you can literally see the curvature of the Earth you dumb bitch. Not attacking the specific person you're responding to.

Just saying that while what you see from Mars may be redder than what it actually is, there's no conspiracy reason for that. It's just a side effect of what they're using cameras for, and pretty pictures for humans to look at aren't really it. It's less that they're deliberately adding red than that they aren't removing the red.

It's really an argument about whether they're correcting more than necessary. We haven't really had a naked eye observer photo from Mars itself.

ADHD is being labelled as "Neurodivergence" as a way to discredit autists and make our conditions seem normal even though it isn't.

Are we pretending color grading doesn't exist?

"Its red except for all the times it's not but it's red MOM TOLD ME SO"

ADHD is being labelled as "Neurodivergence" as a way to discredit autists and make our conditions seem normal even though it isn't.

They just watered down the definition and diagnosis for a lot of mental illnesses so they can shove pills in everyone's face. Like how autism went from being barely functional boys to another quirky thing teenage girls have.

 

[Generic Anime Girl]

quirky thing teenage girls have.

I'm a woman, but I was diagnosed early, which is a rarity among female autists. While women are less likely to have autism and are more likely to be diagnosed later if they actually have it, I think that genderspecials are faking autism for attention.

edit: that and more and more autists are turning to transitioning and becoming genderspecials and taking hormones for sterilization as some sort of eugenics by god knows

Bog is intelligent and interested in what he talks about. It's nice to disagree with someone like that.

They're not adding red, read the article. They do color correction depending on application. You claimed Mars is the color of the moon, which is patently false.

 

[AnOminous]

I actually wouldn't be surprised. Islam has to be the most ontologically retarded religion on the face of the planet. No wonder it has bajillions of adherents and is the fastest growing religion in the world. We're pumping out more retards every year than ever in the past and vast numbers of them join Pisslam.
