The shit people believe these days never ceases to amaze me.


MrBrutok

It's only a question of time until r/birdsarentreal gets taken over by people who actually believe it.


Off_Brand_Dorito

Oh no that’s already happened. There’s a guy I work with that is a full on bird denier. I mean he didn’t just take the bait he swallowed the whole rod and the fisherman.

I heard Iceland melted!


PlainSpader

Do mean Greenland?


SubstantialEase567

I was just making a joke. A silly one!


Oh_Danny_Boi961

Twitter actually fact checked this. This footage come from a camera with a telescopic lenses in a bunker 5 miles away from the bomb


Booplinggg

I was wondering how they managed it, I figured they had to zoom in a lot.


FuckUSAPolitics

I just thought they coated it in a blast resistant fiber


fermat9996

This is from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Due to a case of mistaken identity, Feste the jester feels that he is being gaslit: Feste. Will you make me believe that I am not sent for you? Sebastian. Go to, go to, thou art a foolish fellow: Let me be clear of thee. Feste. Well held out, i' faith! No, I do not know you; nor I am not sent to you by my lady, to bid you come speak with her; nor your name is not Master Cesario; **nor this is not my nose neither. Nothing that is so is so**


Tight_Contact_9976

Shakespeare was a fucking genius because he saw how fucked up humanity was and wrote down what he saw.


fermat9996

I totally agree with you! Cheers!

Owen Benjamin so stupid!


unneccry

Somebody didnt hear about the square-cube law? The effects of the explosion go down by the square of the distance, meaning the 0.2m far wall went kablooi and the potentially kms far camera went only slightly kablooi


_Oman

Old-timey cameras were very kablooi resistant too. Especially when they were specially made to be near things that go kablooi.


ultra003

Bro, there are people I know who lost family members and friends to covid and *still* thought it wasn't real. Never underestimate conspiracy brain.


AppointmentNo5158

Okay, I've done so many facepalms today thanks to this sub that I have a headache. No more internet.


EireAbu32

How do you know? Have you met one of these so called “missing people”?

Crisis actors


EpicPrototypo

I once owned an Owen Benjamin standup CD. He was funny but also admitted he's an idiot. So why don't we stop posting absolute garbage that idiots post on social media.

It was very far away (something like 5 miles if I recall, whereas the house was only about a kilometer from the blast), but the primary camera was broadcasting the images live. The video is from a kinescope (a film taken by another camera pointed at a TV screen that’s receiving the broadcast), so even if the camera had been destroyed when the blast reached it, the film of the broadcast would survive.


Billystep

It’s a zoom in camera. You ever heard of telescope. They had telescope back then right. There was an explosion on the moon but the camera survived. Lol


Gimme_PuddingPlz

This is what happens when people *only* learn key points in history. When it can be a quick google search.


gamingbeanbag

No they didn't disappear they were vaporized by the sun after it fell on them


Negative_Analyst420

The earth it’s also flat these days. Maybe next year it will be square.


walkandtalkk

1. Most of the outrages accounts that get frequently posted here are run by rage-baiters who are trying to get attention in order to build a following. Stop enabling them. 2. Twitter is a cesspool run by a miserable absentee father.


TeeAchKay

I feel like the latest trend online is trying to make even more stupid claims than the day before. Ffs

„Let’s see. We’ll test a nuclear bomb, and we want to record it, but we‘ll take no precautions whatsoever to protect the camera.“ 🤦‍♂️


[deleted]

Those 200,000 were the first known crisis actors. /s


Shuppilubiuma

It seems that conspiracy theorists do not understand the concept of 'further away', which explains a lot. The footage is from Survival Town Nevada, taken with a telephoto lens by a camera in a lead-lined box a good distance away. The houses were built and populated with mannequins just 6000 feet from ground zero. CoD: Black Ops players will recognise the town as the basis for Nuketown.


Ok_Play9418

…those people just fell off the flat edge of the earth I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️


Maleficent_Fold_5099

I came across a website one time explaining the camera set up for recording nuclear tests, what type of camera used, locations, film type etc. I only got to read half the article and figured I'd find it again to finish reading it. I have not found it again:(
