Argh! Flags can move in a vacuum, but an astronaut moving passed it wouldnt make it move, no air current. THT'S the issue.

Why is landing on the moon even conspiracy-worthy? It's not that big of a deal. "We went from point A to point B." "Bullshit!" Um, Okay...

Conspiracy theories were created by the government to keep people distracted from the real issues!

I think the Chinese spread conspiracy theories to keep us from being productive.
Vesane
It's a cunning strategy known as "Chinese Whispers"

You're right, he's an android they brought back from the moon!
Bambing
Is that how the 9/11 hologram conspiracy started? By trying to beat the planted bomb conspiracy?
SuzyTheSasquatch
In all fairness, he's a pretty convincing specter.
FriendOfReason
"9/11 was a propaganda ploy by CIA!" CIA? you mean the cosmic intergalactic agency? Aliens want us to fight amongst ourself to weaken us

I don't believe in the moon. I think it's just the back of the sun.

I don't believe in conspiracy theories--they were all invented by the government as a way to dismiss their detractors.

Obama? He wasn't even born on this planet. Greet our reptilian shapeshifting overlords.

My dad thinks land before time was made by communists. When my daughter watched it he just kept muttering "damn commies"

I feel you, my dad spends all of his extra time on youtube... the last video i heard was that michelle obama is a man.
TheMonsterWithinYou
Jesus Christ I hate people
herpaderps
Yeah, just overhearing the shit he watches, I can feel my braincells dying.
TheMonsterWithinYou
There was a video on the shooting of that reporter and camera man. :\ and they were calling it a hoax. People are dicks
Skrai
It's always the uncle, too.
Ivesaidtoomuchalready
That must be how my cousins feel... About my dad.. Who I've lived with ;.;
SeaFan
Theory: People that crazy rarely have kids. Maybe that's a bit optimistic.
DavidMakalaster
I think they must have a secret agreement to not have kids.
ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
My uncle is almost that crazy but he's also super intelligent. I figure the two balance each other out.
SeaFan
As someone from a smart family with a history of mental illness, no definitely not. It probably makes it worse.

There is a relevant xkcd for every single situation.

How is there always a relevant XKDC? How many of those comics exist?

1575 and counting.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
1,575 so far, not counting the ones withdrawn by National Security Letters.
Dispari
Wait, what's this?
Majawat
Assuming the URL numbering scheme is correct, today marks #1,575. But www.explainxkcd.com says 1,583.

My (otherwise sane) boyfriend has said a few times that the moon landing was a hoax. I'm too afraid to ask him if he's serious.
xoverthirtyx
We went there but we lied about it like we do everything else.
MrKenW
Please explain
fusk
I read somewhere (the internets) that NASA had the tech to go to moon but not to fake it.
TheDarkWhiz
I've been fascinated lately by the idea that we did in fact go to the moon, but that what was broadcasted was faked footage.
ZombieEinstein
The ONLY evidence I can think of to support this is the experiments that NASA attempted to figure how to broadcast broadband television >
ZombieEinstein
>from the moon failed miserably. That said, I still believe we did it, and the footage is real.
allthenamesaregone
What'd be the reasoning behind that?
TheDarkWhiz
Well some people after analyzing the footage, believe that it was filmed on a set, but it's definitely proven that we did land on the moon
TheDarkWhiz
I'm not saying I believe that, I just think it's an interesting take. Alleged conspiracies intrigue me, also I love the X files
PlasmaRoar
Man, can you imagine tho? "We DID go to the moon... but the camera was malfunctioning..."

First thing I thought of. Back to the Future
smaug777000
is that a racial slur I haven't learned yet?
chinablue
Old 1800's slur, black folks were considered easily startled or spooked, it was why the klan originally wore those robes.
paps511
Where does "coon" come from?
ILikeToCallItLostWages
Genuinely interesting how some slurs fade from consciousness. Spook was a regular back in the day.
maliciousGman
You mean like a CIA agent?
TheWorldIsATollFreeToilet
Yes. The dark-skinned dead kind.
belortik
Nah, a spook is just a term for a spy used by the entirety of the security and intelligence community. e.g Putin was a spook in East Germany
TheWorldIsATollFreeToilet
Right, yeah. The African-American-European ghost spies.
Barman42
Well, that got dark fast.

Jiga-boo, actually.
SomeDutchGuy
spook = dutch for ghost, so yes.
PopcornTiger
Also English for ghost. Borrowed, I'm sure. Or just shared. But yeah, racist.
blaknwhitejungl
Spook = super racist term for a black person in America
someguynamedted
Eh, not super racist. Just regular racist.
paxc151
You're a spook... -.-

Super Racist. It's like a golden-age comic book hero.
Dontgochasenewaterfalls
Spook= Dutch for ghost
blaknwhitejungl
Spook = Also English word for ghost, outdated now because of all the racism
blaknwhitejungl
Also, I think the comment I replied to had that covered :p
TheOriginalNonfiction
Yeah I live in Georgia. Real south Georgia at that. Never heard that be a slur for anything. Spook is a spy.
NoSleepTilBrooklyn
I'm from NY, used to live in a neighborhood with lots of old school Brooklyn Italians. Heard it A LOT.
valin
Pretty sure it's a Yankee slur.
PricklyGoo
Never heard that in regular conversation (TN/AL) either. Only in the media where someone's being called out for being racist.
jmartkdr
It's an older slur, but it checks out.
varsil
Okay, that made me laugh. +1 to you, good sir.
TheOriginalNonfiction
Nah, when they are so old that the word has a wider meaning that is completely different I don't believe it checks out anymore.
