    No one has felt it? No one? Has felt it? No one, not a single person this author has heard of, has had so much as a static shock? I’m actually freaking out. Like it’s actually telling you to deny your own experiences. Like actual brainwashing.

    The sun is the source of electricity? What “scientists” think that? Why not just leave it at no one knows? Why make up someone to be wrong? Is the point to say that EVERY actual scientific fact is wrong? I want to commit an act of violence against the authors for subjecting my eyes to this nonsense. I want to bully them.

      You should be legally allowed to tase anyone who claims electricity can’t be felt.

    I had a class in community college with a Christian “science” kid. He thought it was unreasonable that climate scientists could accurately measure things like global temperature and sea level rises. What really floored me about this is we were literally sitting in front of a computer controlled measuring machine capable of measuring sizes down to something like 0.001mm.

    Real no critical thinking hours.

      I’m not sure, but I remember seeing this exact image (though with a few more lines of resolution, holy shit it got crunchy) many years ago. At least as old as 2012.

    i didn’t go to a christian school or anything but I feel like having been forced to go to sunday school and church every weekend for 12 years of my early life really fucked up my brain where i would probably have been much clearer on everything in general had I never been forced to go

      Ya I was Catholic, and although it was much less bad that a lot of types of Christianity, I’m still of the opinion that all the absolute boredom must have done some damage (or at least lack of development) to my brain. I could have done much better things with my childhood than wait for the time to pass and stare at stained glass windows.

    Typing and printing made possible by generations of people who had to be really confident in their control of electricity through transistors. You’re taking a massive leap insofar as electromagnetic energy being a fundamental force of the universe having an unknown origin in the ultimate sense. It’s the same way we have had hundreds of years of perfectly useful Newtonian gravity - going so far as to map the solar system with satellites, but can’t make our model of the galaxy work without dark matter.

    Also, we do see, hear, and feel lightning. And we can explain it. The intellectual dishonesty of “some people believe this or that” like these are worthwhile perspectives. It’s sickening. Even given the perspective that we don’t know, there’s a certain lack of onus on one to use the scientific method to go figure it out. Like the purpose of science is to be told what is and what isn’t correct.

    Yes surely no one has considered this widespread phenomenon and developed knowledge through observation over generations, and harnessed that knowledge to develop their civilization. That would be ludicrous
