re: #134 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

I think that particular post is either a piss take or an example of Poe’s Law…

But regardless, too many people will wind up taking it seriously

I would say Poe’s Law coming into effect. Sadly, one thing I’ve seen again and again over decades observing various political and religious fanatics is that some of them will manufacture evidence for wrongdoing if none exist.

I would guess their thought process is something among the lines of their belief that the baddies did some heinous thing is so strong that they’re really not manufacturing evidence, only making a copy of evidence they believe exists. A similar thought process is active when they make nuisance complaints to authorities, they are convinced that if a competent enough official gets on the case, they’ll crack the case.

And this isn’t the first implant story, tho it’s the first time I’ve seen a Schrader valve being used as the “evidence”. More often than not, it’s gunk that has accumulated in a pore or something, and has the right color shape. And as far as manufactured evidence go, this is a pretty mild case…
