SALISBURY, N.C. — He slipped out of bed before sunrise and started driving, spurred by the conspiracy theory he would soon help make famous. As he sped the 350 miles from his hometown in North Carolina to the nation’s capital, Edgar Maddison Welch tilted his cellphone camera toward himself and pressed record.
New viral videos show TikTok users holding lighters to snowballs to stoke conspiracy theories about “fake snow” they say has been seeded by—wait for it—global environmental philanthropist and Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates.
Yeah. It’s a lot.
In the videos, people hold open flames from lighters and other implements directly up to hardpacked snowballs. The snowballs don’t appear to melt, but instead, they burn. “No water, no dripping, no nothing,” says one woman, who believes there’s metal inside the snow, and that Gates is somehow to blame.
Oh man, birdman, your "sublime" joke is great, but I was going to go with the psychoanalysis "sublimation" joke where tiktok experimentation is the newly-acceptable expression of anti-science beliefs
This is sublime stuff.
i'm enjoying the idiotic georgia congresswoman telling us to trust science (but only when it comes to gender, ignore science on climate)
I'm sure her scientific discussion of gender noted that people can be chromosomally one gender, genetically the other, hormonally either/non-binary, with variably sensitive sex hormone receptors, and that gender transitioning/reassignment is the best treatment for gender dysphoria, right?

Don't forget the ambiguous but useful "forthcoming"The knowledge sublimates directly from Tiktok experiments to accepted fact, skipping the usual intermediate states of hypothesis, theory, “in review”, “in revision” and “in press.”
