True

True but consider: People from the actual Caucasus.
This is the funniest and most accurate skeptic claim I as a white man and paranormal investigator have ever seen. I swear, lack of sun exposure killed something in the Caucasian male's self preservation instinct. I think it was having to go out in Nordic snow.
Would there even be a human race? If ghosts existed think of all the animal ghosts, think of all the dinosaur ghosts.
Ghosts stuck. Planet moves. People safe👍
I once worked out how fast the earth would move away from you if this was the case. I think it was something like 25,000 meters per second.
So every year the earth revisits a given spot in the ghost trail?
So the closest ghosts, on any given day, are the ones who died on the same date. So the death anniversary of a loved one would mean they are at their nearest point.
Well no, since our entire solar system is also moving. While we may return to a point that's similar to last year relative to the sun, we've still moved in relation to everything outside that frame.
Think of a car moving down the highway and you're in the back seat. You scoot over to the other side, throw some trash out the window, then scoot back. In relation to the car you're back where you started, in relation to the trash you threw... You're down the highway you filthy litterer.
Our galaxy is also moving through the greater universe, so those ghosts will be long dead ghost corpses floating still in the greater void if/when earth ever swings by again.
Then do they eventually disintegrate? What becomes of them? Do they eventually turn into... dark matter?!
*Dun, dun, *duuuuuun*Somebody call science. NOW! We just broke this shit wide open.
I just have to die at a very specific velocity so my ghost is propelled along the elliptic that our planet follows.
Checkmate atheists.
By this logic, with the speed the earth moves through the galaxy, ghosts could just be 100% real and we'd never know cause they're all instantly trapped out in space for an eternity
Purgatory confirmed. Checkmate atheists!
Amaze amaze amaze
I wanna be haunted by a dinosaur ghost. :(
There would be no one.
There is not an ethnic group alive who either isnt hated by another or has hatred for another.
Really? I mean, I mostly hate billionaires.
Wait, how many people can a single ghost take out over the course of its existence? Can a billionaire ghost take out more people than one who died below the poverty level? How long is a ghost's existence? Is it unable to move on because it hasn't yet eradicated everyone it wants to? What if it is just unable to for whatever reason? Does it simply roam the Earth forever harming other people that it didn't even intend to originally?
ghosts specifically target white people, or that ghosts being white are associated with white people only.
what does this implies? caucasians would sucide to enact their revenge on the turks?
There's enough ghosts of all the people genocided by white people that if they got their revenge, barely any whites would survive
Whole bunch of triggered colonizers in the comments, good
A similar argument is one of the reasons episode 8 sucks.
Let's see, are you talking about Yoda, one of the most powerful Force users we know of, after literally becoming one with the Force, having the power to summon lightning on a planet that is stated to be intricately connected with the Force and the Jedi, or are you talking about the scene where the whole point is that Luke's force projection could have no physical impact, but Kylo still let that get to him, thereby perfectly encapsulating both of their arcs?
The first one.
If this is a Star Wars reference you need to make that much clearer because no one cares about the sequel trilogy and even if they do then talking about them by episode number is weird out of context

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
