4chan begins preparations for December 21 trolling operations - Polidicks

[QUOTE=hl2poo;38898722]What if 4chan ends the world because of this?[/QUOTE] They have done worse things [editline]20th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=TonyP;38907601]I have emailed this to some news sites.

Seriously though, if you think people are that gullible -- why don't you go and pester major news organizations about everything the Enquirer has reported on. Obviously that's doing much more long-term harm than anything going on in this thread. Or the Onion.

I don't want this to happen, mainly because I know all those conspiracy theorist retards will think they are real and the last thing I want is more fuel for the conspiratards to discredit science with their retarded propaganda that so many people gobble up. Just look at the 'mysterious noise' shit, so many idiots believe these 'joke' videos and images and just increases the stigma against science and real medicine. Haarp, 'chemtrails', vaccines, etc, started off as hoaxes and now quite a lot of people cite them as reason to demonize and distrust science. I love humor as much as the next person, except these kinds of hoaxes which are designed to seem real, not humorous, and mislead naive and gullible morons.

rofl "terrorism plot"

[QUOTE=TonyP;38908443]post[/QUOTE] Except this will have no long term effects seeing as it deals with the end of the earth. It will be painfully obvious later on that this is fake due to the earth still being in one peice.

But people really are gullible enough to fall for this and other hoaxes. As long as something doesn't feed the conspiratards, I'm fine with it.

Some people I know fall for The Onion.

[QUOTE=TonyP;38908443]-snip-[/QUOTE] who cares about morons just point and laugh at them

[QUOTE=legolover122;38908479]Except this will have no long term effects seeing as it deals with the end of the earth.

Anything that supports their delusions is true to them and calling it fake just makes them believe it stronger.

[QUOTE=Bumrang;38908548]who cares about morons just point and laugh at them[/QUOTE] Well these morons are a big reason why a lot of people fear and distrust vaccines and science in general.

[editline]butts[/editline] Also why do you even care what they think or spout?

[QUOTE=TonyP;38908564]Well these morons are a big reason why a lot of people fear and distrust vaccines and science in general.[/QUOTE] People fear and distrust vaccines and science in general [b]because they're morons.[/b]

[QUOTE=Tovip;38908561]Wouldn't it be more a better strategy to show those people how silly they are if they do fall for this only to find out it is fake?[/QUOTE] Like I said, anything that supports the conspiracist mindset (corporations/science/etc is evil and the little guy is pure and good) is true and anybody questioning it is a misinformation agent or some rubbish. Sad but true, to them at least. [editline]20th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=codl;38908572]Then, what's the point of contacting news websites if they won't believe them?[/QUOTE] Only if the news were to post it before 4chan did. Unless they think the media can time travel too?

Incredible.

[QUOTE=Firgof Umbra;38908597]People fear and distrust vaccines and science in general [b]because they're morons.[/b][/QUOTE] And who do you think comes up with, and spreads, the propaganda? The conspiratards, at least initially.

[quote]And who do you think comes up with the propaganda, the conspiratards.[/quote] Because [b]they're morons[/b]. Do you honestly think they (read: morons) wouldn't come up with something just as silly in a total vacuum? I mean what are you on about? Next you'll be telling us we can't say the sky is green because [b]someone[/b] will take us seriously. I mean honestly do you think the world is perpetually two seconds away from utter chaos because someone's yet to say to the right ear "The world is ending tomorrow"? What a strange and nerve-wracking two minutes to midnight worldview you have.

[QUOTE=wallyroberto_2;38908695][t]http://i.imgur.com/kgUZV.jpg[/t] Not bad for a few minutes in PS[/QUOTE] Shit, the aliens have figured out how to triforce.

I'm just trying to avoid the inevitable moment where I somehow end up at a popular conspiracy website, see these fakes, try to inform them about it, and end up in a 30 page shitstorm with me vs everyone else.

if this makes the frontpage outside of the US, Friday will be a good day.

It's like worrying if the short bus will accidentally take a wrong turning, end up at Congress, the kids kill the congressmen, and end up running the country. If it really comes down to it, just link them to this thread, or any live threads on /b/ about it.

[QUOTE=lavacano;38907911]alright listen i understand "please make a note so nobody gets hurt" but "terrorism"? [highlight]Seriously?[/highlight][/QUOTE] Do you think any news source is gonna open an email saying '4chan is trolling pls stop them'? I had to add some hyperbole so they might at least notice it.
