That fluoride makes people stupid.

That humans only contribute like 0.2% of greenhouse gases and have no impact in climate change.

That petroleum is a natural renewable mode of transportation that doesn’t come from dinasaurs

And that science is not reliable because people just say “trust the science” but get made when you “question the science” and that he doesn’t trust what he can’t replicate

And that NASA just lies and was founded by NAZIs so they just do nothing and collect government money

What is crazy to me is that this guy is great at his job and has got me unstuck from coding related problems several times. Yet, he believes in all these conspiracies 😵

I considered this guy to be smart and yet he gave me this ackward conspiracy info dump session

    Ooh, you came across one of those rare finds, an abiogenic petroleum believer in 2023.

    They are rare these days, and mostly congregate on obscure forums where they also often discuss cold fusion.

      It is correct on the dinosaur thing, though. I thought the leading theory is that petroleum comes from trees that died before anything evolved that could decompose bark?

        That's coal, mostly.

        For oil it's almost entirely plankton and algae.
