      Yeah in Mexican culture we call elves duendes which means something like house spirts. They can be neutral but don't mess with them. The there are chanques prob spelling it wrong these were more dangerous and would fuck you up. They lived in nature more. My sister who grew up in Mexico is terrified of them. Weather they are real or not is ldk but we have enough sense not to taunt them.

    I believe there was a fairly advanced antediluvian civilization and that evidence of it is purposefully ignored by 'legitimate' academics because it turns the current human development timeline on it's head, so the only people investigating the evidence are 'ancient alien theorist' types

    Also UFOs(UAPs) are real but it's more likely to be some sort of extra-dimensional phenomenon rather than 'nuts-and-bolts' aliens imo

    Also I always thought the Mandela effect was bullshit(faulty memory, conflation etc) but a couple of months I found out about the fruit of the loom logo one and it really freaked me out because I wore those t shirts for years and clearly remember the 'alternate timeline' logo, but I don't know what to make of it

      I like your whole post but i just looked up the fruit of the loom thing and before i even hit enter i was like "fuck is there a cornucopia or isn't there." wild, i wonder if there was somehow a massive batch of knockoffs with an altered logo in the mid 90s and they've since disintegrated/we'll get a picture of one sometime in the future when someone is cleaning out a childhood dresser or something.

        One weird thing about it is that fruit of the loom did trademark the idea of a cornucopia of fruit logo but it was never actual used, people into ME theorize this is where the timeline 'split'

        One thing is the widespread existence of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_preta a type of'super- soil' that we now call biochar, which would require fairly advanced knowledge to create

        Another is the existence of complex structures such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe which was built before agriculture had supposedly been developed

        A lot of my 'alternate history' stuff I get from this podcast https://player.fm/series/earth-ancients it's mainly interviews with 'alternative historians', so warning doe if you decide to listen it can be very 'wooo' so take everything on it with a grain of salt, but it's good for finding out about little known archaeological/anthropological stuff

            No problem comrade, if you prefer video shows like ancient aliens are also useful for finding out about these under-researched things so that you can then go and do your own research and come to your own conclusions about them(just ignore the 99% of it that is leaps in logic and 'woo')

          What do you think of this take on Göbekli Tepe? I find the implications of pre-agricultural ritual sites fascinating even without the advanced civilization theories.

    1. Not exactly the same kind of thing as Bigfoot but Eternal Recurrence (the idea that the history of the universe repeats itself exactly, forever) has always felt especially spooky and emotionally defeating to me.
    2. The fact that our current understanding of the universe only works if there is about 6-7 times more matter than we can see. So our current science model is either very incomplete or something happened to it all.
    3. Only recently Chinese scientists managed to record Ball Lightning, proving it's real and really spooky. That's cool!

        isn’t it dangerous?

        Yes, it's an unstable tiny cloud of superheated silicon or something like that, created when lightning hits the right kind of ground the right kind of way. It can explode and/or burn through walls, and has absolutely killed people. Do not eat.

      In regards to point number two, what's that phrase for the hypothetical threshold of next-stage advanced life that may have never been broken?

      Edit: Found it, Great Filter/Fermi Paradox. Maybe there's no aliens out there because there's a giant space Shai-Hulud taking big chomps out of observable reality; and he's on his way here to party. That would be pretty neat.

    Deja vu has always stood out to me. Although I can't explain fully what it could be and the implications that come from it, I believe it is something that doesn't fit the confines of the explainable. It is the closest thing I have to a spiritual belief. I get legit nauseous every time it happens to me and it fills me with uncanny valley-like dread. The closest thing I can think of in way of significance is that it usually happens to me during times of change or when something important is going to happen.

    I often think that if I saw a ghost it wouldn't scare me beyond the initial extremely startling experience. Because it's absolute verification of a soul and some kind of life beyond death. It would make me feel fucking great. There's nothing conceptually scary about ghosts.

    I like to imagine that what we're living right now is basically the Matrix that we all got put into by the world-wide communist society to suffer for the horrible shit we did in the world before the world revolution happened. Instead of lining us all against the wall they used their tech to create a Gulag of the Future if you will.

    It would explain a whole lot is all I'm saying.

        There are actually a few oblate objects in our solar system, like the dwarf planets Makemake and Haumea. Don't think that's evidence of alien spaceships.

      I work at an airport, oh my god I'm so fucking tired of people asking me about ufos and about how "well pilots aren't allowed to tell us about ufos so they must be real". This ignores that pilots are universally dumb motherfuckers who need to be reminded to breathe periodically lest they suffocate.

    I believe in an entirely material existence which spooks me out because my concept of self isn't conceptual at all but a constituent of the physical world.
