    The reason the sun sets is it takes so much energy to run that they have to switch to a much dimmer “moon” at night to give themselves enough time to recharge the battery enough for the next day’s light. It’s solar-powered, so of course they need to ensure it’s not running at max brightness in order to get the most gains.

      People censor so much on the Internet and it baffles me. Like, thanks for saving my sensitive eyes from the word Nazi I guess?

      The word is Nazi, there is a conspiracy theory that Hitler and the Nazis fled to Antarctica. Some even say that at the poles are portals which lead inside the Earth, where they still life under a black sun. Crazy right? I still try to figure out how they manage to live inside a flat earth. Could also not figure out if Hitler is on the moon our dark sunbathing. But I think the moon is more realistic, think about it, you just have to replace the S and the A in NASA and you get Nazi. If that’s not a proof enough that crocodiles are our leaders I can’t help you anymore.

    Fuck, some people are beyond saving. I hope this person is incapable of having children and is not in a position to teach or interact with kids at all.

      Yeah, I can’t get over that. NASA was formed in 1958… Are they saying there was no sun before then? Literally every culture that has left behind any archaeological evidence has referenced the sun in some way.

      Unless they believe that the sun is a god that NASA captured in the late 50s and replaced with a simulation so we wouldn’t notice. That would be crazy too, but kinda metal as far as conspiracies go.

      You should join this cool new cult with me.

      The night time is the right time! The night time is the right time!

      I’m sure some people here are old enough to get that reference.

      In 1816 was the year of no summer. The common explanation is that a volcano erupted reducing the amount of sun light that hit the earth making it much colder for that year. But really the Truth is much crazier.

      Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials for 1000’s of years, some wanting to see humans evolve technologically others wanting to stop or slow our knowledge due to our violent nature. Well after many decades of back and forth fighting, the anti-human ET’s went all in and decided the only safe galaxy was one without Earth and started a chain reaction to destroy the sun. This was 1816.

      But… we still have a sun you say. Yes but it isn’t real. NASA (New American Science Academy) which was founded in 1690 in New York had been in close contact with the Pro-human ET’s , who unfortunately were blindsided by this very radical display from the Anti-humans and missed their opportunity to stop them. So the only thing they could do was to ‘rebuild’ the sun giving NASA the information on how to keep it going.

      I saw we should fund NASA like conspiracy theorists think we do. It’s amazing how much they do with so “little” money.

        Conspiracy theorist don’t think NASA and other orgs are ridiculously well funded. They just have near-zero concept of the scale of costs for the things that they claim. Innumeracy is a prerequisite for conspiracy theory beliefs.

      You joke, but that is just about the sum of it. Illiteracy followed by deranged conspiracy theories erode public trust in institutions. The current GOP is case and point.
