Weird Theories about everything.

Theory #372: "The dire importance of gasoline and feces to the modern economist."

Future gasoline is made from collecting and distilling the alcohol gases that evaporate from feces.

Some theories are unfortunately perceived as terrible to people no matter how sensible they sound. Everything is subject to the scrutiny of subjectivity and personal bias in the world of theory and thought.
but yes this is bad thread because most of you guys just write a few sentences and expect us to keel over and be amazed at how thoughtful you are

Re: Weird Theories about everything.

I find weird theories to be extremely interesting, and never too unbelievable. And I know many others that feel the same way. It isn't a subject to be a skeptic or naysayer about. Either you're all for it, or too bad.

It's because in the definition of theory, it is meant to be a system of ideas intended to explain something that would otherwise be unexplained. Your theory in here has some level of ideas for something that would otherwise be unexplained. Everything else in here is either flat out wrong, belief, or doesn't have any system of idea backing it up beyond a statement.

If you want to make a theory beyond something like this:

Future gasoline is made from collecting and distilling the alcohol gases that evaporate from feces.

Then give me some reasons why you think or believe this is the case (a.k.a, give me some content to critically think about).


example:

To push in a different direction from andrew's theory, it's fact that brains are largely responsible for memory. We also know that when you die, you are technically still alive for a brief amount of time, but un-aware of it. I think it's possible that if you die, and your body goes through the cycle of life extremely quickly (we're talking cells in the body being broken down, re-used for energy, and possibly that energy going into breeding, human or not) it might be possible that those memories or at least the way a muscle or brain 'fires' neurons (kind of like how if you shake salt on frog legs the muscles contract & expand) can translate to another being. I mean, you're physically moving cells from one being to another when eating meat all the time, cells DO contain DNA & stuff we can't fully grasp as well. The difference is how quickly that cycle of life happens, and would explain a lot of situations of people having memories from past lives. Since an example could be like:

>Someone drowns in an ocean
>Fish eat the body
>Someone pregnant eats said fish
>pregnant human delivers baby
>baby somehow contains memories from someone in the 1990's

Pulled this example from an actual story that was ran back in 2006: https://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=132381&page=1

I know that lol. I'm just stating the obvious is all.

For example, I have seen real UFOs in the sky on numerous occasions. During those occasions, I stopped what I was doing and watched them intently. Each sighting was of different kinds of UFOs with different flight patterns and details. I am very interested in this topic, watching numerous documentaries over the years, and I am personal friends with many other folks and members of the UFO community. Thus, anyone who says we're full of hogwash is being a spoilsport.

I hope you understand my explanation.

Alright, so are all of them completely unidentified here? Or have you also seen planes/helicopters and shrugged them off as such?
Which would you say you've seen or noticed more of (identifiable vs unidentifiable)?
Have you tried deducing/tracking down exactly what you saw? There's a couple websites out there that help you check overhead air traffic like https://www.flightradar24.com/ or https://flightaware.com/

Re: Weird Theories about everything.

No comment. UFO-ology is one of many pseudo sciences, and the information about it is difficult to obtain, or find very easily, due to the nature of it. But yes, they are alien aircraft.

I mean, I'm just asking regarding what you've personally experienced, not what UFO-ology has to say about it as a whole. Like sure, if that's your belief then by all means stick to your guns on it. No qualms about that. Just hard to accept & albeit a little annoying to 'probe' (haha ufo joke) for truth or perspective on the subject when you do get a chance to ask questions about a worldview that you don't necessarily share and get shut down.

Re: gold stinger

question

Sure gold stinger.
I've had 4 UFO experiences of notability.

1. 2008: I was watching what I thought was a satellite moving across the night sky, but then it crossed paths with a star, and disappeared, apparently docked into the star.
2. 2018: I was sitting on a park bench one night, playing Dragonrip on my cell phone, when I noticed some craft in the sky. They were a group of around 7 small, silver triangles. Since they were flying around under the low-hanging clouds, I could tell that they were only 3 meters in length/width at most. They were maneuvering in alien ways, accelerating and sharply turning supernaturally. Intent on watching them as long as time permitted, I finally just got bored and left after 2 hours of watching them fly around.
3. 2020: Saw a very strange looking, large object, flying very low in the sky, about 1 mile away and cruising toward me at about 60 miles per hour. As it drew nearer, I thought that it looked like a paper machier parade float version of a Gundam Wing robot, glowing with combinations of red, blue, and green translucent lights. I watched it pass over me, and continue until it sunk lower, disappearing under a ridge.
4. 2020: I saw another very strange object in the sky, at an altitude of about 150 meters. I shouted at it loudly and waved my arms as I watched it moving unnaturally. I could only imagine if it was manmade, it was a very very large drone.

UFO-ology is basically just all the collected stories like this from folks. No one is seeing UFOs with any amount of regularity.

theory: this is a terrible critical thinking thread.

why do you say that this thread is horrible and keep answering in it?

I didn't say this thread is horrible. I said that it was a terrible critical thinking thread. As in, it doesn't deserve critical thinking status.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.

Personally, I see potential in this being a good critical thinking thread, provided that we don't treat this as a 'chitchat' thread and try to elaborate our reasoning behind the simple statements we say in here.

Even though theories aren't necessarily provable or verifiable, they do provide good opportunities for discussion on specific topics and possibly even further everyone's knowledge and depth of thought on them. Instead of thinking alone, we could get multiple people to think of one thing and come up with more substantiated ideas. Isn't this a good chance to learn more?

Of course, we could only do that as long as the reasoning behind our theories is logical or reasonable. I'm sure everyone's got something good to share!

I could talk weird theories all day, but I get tired of doing all the talking.
I just wanna kick back, relax and read some theories.
