Do you believe that Chem trails are the result of the government controlling our weather?

[CocoDeMoll]

On of the more tame conspiracy therorys my dh states as fact!!

When we were younger apparently there were no trails behind planes. I’m not sure tbh.

What do you believe?

Where on earth did you find him OP?

He sounds hilarious.

It’s gojng down to 5 degrees tonight and up to 25 tomorrow. I checked with him. It’s definetly the government fucking with our weather.

We are both early to mid 80s kids but I have no memeory either way if there were chem trails in the sky back then

He was also trying to explain to me how he believes infinity with numbers doesn’t exist last night and it’s actually a bit circle. I can’t even... my brain!!!

When I was a kid (1960s) they were contrails, meaning condensation trails, nothing to do with chemicals. Bloody nonsense.

On a serious note I'd massively lose respect for him spouting and believing this bollocks.

I actually could not be married to someone so thick. Sorry if that sounds harsh but I couldn't think how else to put it.

He’s honestly not thick. Just a bit obsessed with ‘the truth’.

My wife has a friend who believes all this stuff. My current favourite is flat earth but the sunscreen causing cancer one was pretty good. I love the flat earth quote where someone asks why they don't believe the other planets are flat, and they reply, "because we can see they are spheres". Also the ice wall theory and how the government stops everyone falling off the flat earth is great.

Oh yes! Sunscreen causes cancer. That’s one of his!

Seriously? No, that's just thick. Paranoid and thick.

Sorry but he is thick and ignorant. How do you have any respect for him?

Oh yes! Sunscreen causes cancer. That’s one of his!

I’m afraid that is pretty thick.

Apparently fluoride is put in the water to poison us. Plus the government get a kick back from whatever industry has fluoride as a byproduct and has no cheap way of getting rid of it.

So it's a two pronged attack, poison from the sky and in the water. All bases covered. Tbf haven't they said the average life expectancy is now dropping, so it must be working

Playing devil's advocate for a moment, it is actually possible that a manufacturer could include a carcinogenic chemical in their sunscreen. We just have to trust that they wouldn't be so stupid because the legal penalties would be tremendous.

Now I'm wondering where people think the water to make soft drinks come from, if not from a tap?

Now I'm wondering where people think the water to make soft drinks come from, if not from a tap?

Well exactly. And the water in tea and coffee... and the water involved in the making of lots of different food stuffs.

I work in aviation, in a senior operational role for a major U.K. carrier.

‘Chemtrail’ conspiracy theories are, to use technical terminology, total bullshit.

Airliners produce lots of exhaust gases resulting from the high pressure combustion of large quantities of JetA1 fuel. That’s all.

OP, your husband is, to put it as politely as possible, ignorant and ill-informed. I’m guessing he has never worked in the industry?

He was also trying to explain to me how he believes infinity with numbers doesn’t exist

Wait, so he thinks we might run out of numbers?

I think he might win the award for most credulous person ever.

Tell him to watch out for the cracks in the pavement too. There are crocodiles in them.

Infinity with numbers doesn't exist? What happens if you add one to the biggest number you can think of?

Try telling him there are different size infinities :)

I had a very dull 60s into 7Os childhood. We had TV ( but not in the mornings, how quaint,eh?!) In the summer however I was banished from the house in most weathers. I remember watching clouds and seeing aeroplanes overhead regularly , yes they had contrails. I also watched ants a lot..

Wait...what? Have the crocodiles driven out the bears?
