Unrelated but have y'all heard the one about Stevie Wonder only pretending to be blind?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Or Kamala pretending to be ... Black?

It's not even conspiracy any more just racism and hatred. I miss the days with real conspiracy theories like the cops has a beeper that turns the signal green or there is a hidden maze under some important building etc.

Weird example, because that's real?

Noooo my conspiracy theory!!

Nice to know, thanks!

Reality is so disappointing. Cops having control of traffic lights was so much more optimistic than them just abusing their sirens to get through them.

In many areas, at least in the U.S., emergency responders can definitely change traffic lights. I've personally been on both sides of it multiple times.

Yes they can!

There are many different ways it's done but one I find the coolest is a signaling light hooked into the siren of an emergency vehicle. Traffic lights can look for this signal from vehicles and, upon seeing it, heavily prioritize letting the lane it's in have a green.

I saw a YT video breaking down some clip of Stevie dodging out of the way of a mic being knocked over and almost hit him. Claiming Stevie saw it and that's why he moved so fast.

I'm like the dude was walking past Stevie. He probably noticed that and heard the knock. He uses his other sense. What is wrong with critical thinking and people?
