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

Do you mean they look different irl, or in videos? Because that could absolutely have to do with the film/digital recording. I think sparkles looked cooler on film than they do when recorded digitally.

IRL for sure. The film/digital thing makes sense. Projected film on a screen from film-film does make sparkles look different, but it's the effect in real life that's been tripping me up so much.

On a related note, Swarovski uses special lighting in their shops to make the crystal look better than it will in your home (unless you also have similar lighting). You can see this effect for yourself if you take a real cut stone with you to someplace that has a Swarovski store. Look at your gem in sunlight, then go inside and pay attention to how it looks in the general mall lighting, then again in the Swarovski shop itself. The gemstone will look dull while the crystal will look shiny.

You can kind of see it in these videos:

They use multiple point sources so you get reflections from lots of different angles. Clubs and old-style discos are the same, which is why buying a mirror ball for your home is always going to be a disappointment, unless you also accompany it with twenty spotlights pointed at every angle. You'll get the same effect if you went for the 2000s trend of mounting endless halogen spots in your ceiling in place of a decent chandelier.

Your video seems to show the opposite, how they have special lighting in their store to make their own products sparkle more
Not how it dulls other gems

It makes sense that they'd use that sort of lighting but I'm really curious to see how it dulls real well cut gems and how you'd even accomplish such a thing

Except NAMBLA has been trying to co-opt the LGBT movement since the 70s and probably earlier, so it's not a recent thing.

The internet just exposed more of them, otherwise they'd have stayed unknown or only locally known.

They didn't have to coopt something they were part of from the beginning. Just look at Allan Ginsberg and Harvey Milk.

Dandruff shampoo causes chronic dandruff so you'll continue buying it

Most cleaning products have sulfates in them which causes mild irritation to chemical burns. A lot scents can also be harmful. The best thing you can do is use scentless, sulfate free products. There's been zero chemical advancement in over the counter products in 100 years. Use a cup of distilled white vinegar in your laundry with a small amount of detergent to wash your clothes. Ironically using dandruff shampoo can kill mild yeast infections on your skin, which is why men have better skin than women.

I used to love the Why Files, then AJ started fucking around (drinking? coke? who knows? but said he was 'sick') and stopped uploading without updates, and now he's in cahoots apparently for some Big Deal (from their community tab on the channel). I tuned out when they started using AI slop, and then during his "hiatus", the compilations just kept coming

His dad died of cancer. He did an episode on it and it hit him pretty hard. The AI slop was to speed up the research on episodes and because the more outlandish theories that they're on now need the AI as visual aids. Not to defend them to the hilt, but it is what it is. If they merch keeps them going, so be it. He and the crew have put years into their shows and they deserve some good money.

Planetary alignment theory

June 3rd (Can't be found on mainstream website, only obscure ones...) and August 10th this year have large planetary alignments with six planets and the three giants; Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus, aligning, along with Mercury Venus and Mars.

If nothing happens, then the theory is tosh. If earthquakes, volcanoes or tidal waves happen, then we know when to bunker down in the future.

I had to stop watching Why Files because the fucking fish was so annoying. The latest STRIPPED versions are great, the fish is only in the ads.

Speaking of conjunctions and everything, on April 25th there's supposed to be a smiling face in the sky because Venus, Saturn, and a crescent moon,

All you need to know about conspiracies is that even if they are all real you still have to get up in the morning and put your boots on and get out there and build some shit, whatever it is.
Assume that they are all true, it's fucking over, but the long and short of it is none of it matters; all that matters is you live a good happy life and don't harm the innocent, don't do shit that is negative.
Everything you do comes back on you somehow, so the more you worry about bullshit the more anxious you are going to be. Not saying conspiracies are not fun, just be careful and aware of your emotions going in because it gets dark.

If you buy into the parasite-pill theory then A LOT of sexual degeneracy now makes sense because the "parasites" in people are pushing people towards such things as anal sex/LGTBBQ+ behaviour as that helps spread them around to the general population. If you are not a porn brained coomer filled with parsites you would find such things as anal sex and rimjobs disgusting as literal shit comes out of the anus.

I think this "parasite-pill" theory is a roastie cope to blame all the degeneracy on porn, a projection for failing to find a good man, same as incels blaming dating apps for their failing to find a good woman. If it really was a gay-parasite from poopoo, faggots would have been more common back then and less of it now due to everything is more hygienic now. No, the sexual degeneracy we see today is more likely explained by something else.

Spoiler: 'Effort post' or 'Wall of text meme'? Call it now!

Sexual degeneracy comes from having intercourse for a certain amount of time without getting pregnant. The female brain will think there is something wrong with their reproductive system and start to try out new methods to mate. That's when we see all these fetishes and other types of degeneracy poping up. It's an attempt to fix their infertility, that is today an artificially induced one. In your own head you might know that you are "just on the pill" or just used a condom, but subconsciously you are wondering why you are not getting pregnant and constantly trying to fix it. Porn on the other hand is trying to direct this behaviour (the fetiches) to ones that will probably not result in pregnancies as part of the depopulation programming. So the guys will do some odd shit, the woman will try it out since "it is spicy" or just to please the guy. It also explains why some guys "just get tired" of their girlfriends, because they are thinking that there is something wrong with her reproductive system and therefor dumping her, to find a new woman to knock up instead. Cycle repeats.

The reason for why the LGTBBQ+ behaviour is more extreme is because they are "mating" in ways that have an absolute zero chance to to end in a pregnancy, so therefor they will endlessly develop more and more extreme fetishes that will never result in a baby.

You can't fuck with the brains will to reproduce that is hardwired in every lifeform on this planet, it will fuck you back.

I just got those to show the products sparkling, I couldn't find any videos of the opposite.

I don't think it actually does dull them, it just looks kind of dull compared to if I look at something like a diamond in a jewelry shop. It's hard to explain.

It's a whole bunch of physics shit that I'm currently too drunk to even attempt to explain. I got my wife a cubic zirconium engagement ring because it was way more sparkly than an equivalently cut diamond, due to some property of how the different rocks refract internally. How they're cut affects things as well. Perception is all that matters and the most sparkly jewel gets the most attention.

Diamonds are one of the oldest memes; the mineral equivalent of the rare pepe. They're not remotely rare or expensive to mine, but the oligopoly of de beers and a couple of other conglomerates acts to artificially restrict supply, generating a perception of rarity and desirability that drives the retail market to a frenzy and generates a healthy profit, even in the face of artificial diamonds that are indistinguishable from the mined equivalent. The entire thing is a gigantic con.

What's really funny to me is I also found Hecklefish super annoying, but when I got my parents into the show they loved that little bastard. They quote his little quips every so often in a Hecklefish voice as inside jokes. I wonder if it's a generational thing tbh.

The real reason eugenics is so demonised now is nothing to do with the NSDAP or the hall of cost or any humanitarian good, but because weak and dysgenic cattle are easier to corral. Ditto for HAES/fat-positivity, LGBTQIAP+ acceptance, demonisation of the nuclear family, etc., etc., etc.

Eugenics was perfectly fine when the Ashkenazim used genetic testing before marriages to reduce Tay-Sachs disease

Diamonds are one of the oldest memes

The other reason diamonds became popular is that they are the toughest gemstone. Most of them chip or are damaged by common materials. Hence the tag line "diamonds are forever"

Partially correct, constant casual sex with strangers without intent to reproduce is absolutely a factor in sexual decline and sexual degeneracy, but porn is absolutely also a factor in desensitizing people to healthy sexual attraction

Here's another theory- Masturbation is healthy, it doesn't need to be directly correlates with porn, you can masturbate without going out and looking at porn and it's physically and mentally healthier, but we as a culture have obsessed so much over pornography and correlated it with masturbation that now people think you can't quit one without the other, and that makes it harder to succeed because you're associating a physical need with it
It's like if you tried quitting smoking and someone said you need to stop eating too, they'd do it to make the experience more uncomfortable so that you'd give up on quitting

Cubic Zirconia has a lower refractive index than diamond, but it has higher dispersion, so the spectral components get refracted further apart. That might be why it looks more sparkly.

Here's another theory- Masturbation is healthy

We have mostly only seen this with animals in captivity. It's syptom of living in a "prison" environment. I don't think it's healthy to coom whenever you feel like it, just like how it's not good to just eat whenever you feel like it. With phones, people can even be entertained whenever they feel like it.

Not all infections or aspects of infection are bad, there are even some infections that are completely harmless or even beneficial
Toxoplasmosis is an example of a parasitic infection that has little to no adverse affects on a human other than mild risk to a fetus, and otherwise only has upsides like strengthening the immune system, it is even said to correlate with *positive* changes in character
Also it gives you cat communication skills

Reckless driving and catladies are hardly positive developments. Especially since Toxo isn't even evolved to target humans, but mice.
Because it gets mature in cats.
Mice is infected by cat poo. Baby toxo grows there, gets eaten by cat where it matures, cat shits and the cycle repeats.
But if cat lady rolls in kitty litter, she becomes the mice. Unless you are a tigerkeeper, those parasites are in the cuck chair. Humans are dead end troon hosts for them.

Also, on light bulbs, I've got one for you guys.
SPARKLES DON'T LOOK THE SAME ANYMORE.
I can't even show you what I mean because you can't represent it on screens.
The closest I can kind of use as an example is this video of an ermine in snow:

I'm almost certain it's because all the incandescent bulbs have gone away and LED doesn't make things sparkle right. Can anyone who understands light explain this to me?

Earlier spergery with the sun, but yeah. Leds use RGB light, they tune red, blue and green to give you an illusion of sunlight. The sun is also changing with its 11 year cycle and atmospheric changes like ozone depletion make even sunlight appear different.

The only way to fap is to not look at porn, but use the communal JO crystal. All the coomers in town will be your best friends, merry gay time all around ad the crystal gets charged by sloppy men mana.

Many regular white LEDs, especially those incadenscent bulb looking types with those LED pseudo-filaments don't even do that, they use blue LEDs and a phosphor. They don't have a lot of lot red light and also very little between blue and green. They look decently white to the naked eye, but sometimes it's noticable. Incandescent bulbs have a CRI of 100, most white LEDs are between 80 and 90. Still better than fluorescent lamps, or at the extreme end, low pressure sodium lamps, which have a negative CRI. You know, the oldschool yellow streetlights. Very narrow yellow spectral line, hence extremely bad color rendering index.
