September is here and we can probably anticipate a nice helping of Stundilicious, Stundiable Stundies. Remember that a good Stundie is not just about Conspiracy Theories but is funny and concise. It may not make you lose faith in humanity but it certainly is a risk....so tread carefully and let those nominations roll like a bad Killtown analogy.

Just remember, it's all an illusion, albeit a realistic-looking one. No matter in which era you live, there will always be some faction bent on conquering the world. Just go with the flow and enjoy the experience.

Whatever you fight, you become. Resistance is futile, b/c think of what you are doing... fighting against a hologram. Does it really matter if the hologram is "evil" or "good"? In the end, whether you enjoy your time here overall in this holgraphic frequency is more important than who's controlling the world.

:D:D:D

And we're off to a good start:


You don't need explosives; you just need heat, apparently. Lest we forget, the plane's impacts, other than providing the heat source, had nothing to do with the collapses.
 
Is there a poll for the August stundies?

It will be up Thursday morning. I've been moving a new roommate in this week and it's been wearing me out because I'm being forced to sell off a lot of stuff in a yard sale to make room. Yes, my old roommate left a lot of stuff behind and just told me to sell it off or junk it.


On the plus side I've made $1500 off his old stuff so far. :cool:
 
omg...seriously? a plane is pretty much a flying boat with fuel in the wings. Tell me how they are "designed" not to "explode" on impact, considering that its a flying fuel tank?

They're designed not to go all Hollywood and explode into a ball of fire the second they hit the ground in a crash landing. I dont think "Plowing through a skyscraper" is on the Boeing checklist. Well, maybe these days it is.
 
Here's an interesting piece of tortured logic from our newest truther.

wrong, you're asking me to present complex physics equations to prove something very basic and intuitively obvious. Only a physicist would be able to do this, thus you're implying that only a qualified physicist is entitled to comment on this matter thus you're appealing to authority

I'm not sure which is worst - not knowing the difference between a request for explanation and an appeal to authority, not understanding the distinction between a valid and an invalid appeal to authority, or the rather strange implication that we should accept his assertions because he doesn't know how to prove them.

Yeah, this is a lot like one of my July 2009 nominees, but gosh-darn it, mysticmolly puts it so eloquently ...

How to get rid of conspiracy nuts!!!

Put about the rumour that the swine flu vaccine is deadly and it should not be taken and let it spread to all of the truther forums.

Then add a special ingredient to the vaccine to protect against a killer virus you intend to release to get rid of all the nonsense people in the world eg in Africa etc and let the conspiracy nuts go down with them!!!!

Problem solved !!!!


DI Forums.

I especially liked the idea that vaccines don't protect against killer viruses unless you add "a special ingredient".
 
From the Stundie diamond mine that is facebook.

3) There is oxygen present in the oxidizer, you :rule10:. THAT IS WHY IT IS CALLED AN OXIDIZER!

IT DOESN'T COME FROM THE AIR!!! IT'S IN THE COMPOSITE!!! GOD, THE CHEMICAL REACTION INVOLVES WHAT IS PRESENT IN THE MATERIAL.

NOT THE AIR!!!

THE CHEMICAL REACTION FROM THE ORGANIC ADDITIVE CAUSES THE AIR PRESSURE TO CHANGE! TO GO "BOOM"!!!

THEY USE TECHNOLOGY CALLED ELECTRON MICROSCOPY, X-RAY ENERGY DISPERSIVE SPECTROSCOPY, ETC. TO EXAMINE WHAT IS THE MATERIAL!
INERT ATMOSPHERE PROVES NOTHING!

YOUR INERT IDEA PROVES NOTHING!
 
the quote needs more context

to anyone confused by this, shes responding to someone who said Jones et al should have tested their paint chips in an inert atmosphere, to prove it was thermite (self-oxidizing) and not just some other material combusting

the stundie nominee, is saying the oxygen came from the thermite, not the atmosphere, completely ignoring the fact that this would need to be proven by burning it in an inert atmosphere
 
Homeland Insurgency was disappointed he never won a stundie so he created a sockpuppet and came up with this gem:

At least 3 out of 3 debunkers have low evidence of their stories.

"at least" is 100%.
