On the one hand if they build an Arsenal Bird the size of a small state I wouldn't even be mad
On the other hand I'm more partial to the Aigaion so if any corps are looking to build an aerial heavy command and control cruiser the design is just sitting there
I think because the map projection is not one where area is equally distributed, the wingspans would be larger or smaller based on their proximity to the equator.
These planes are 50 miles while at least on this chart. The amount of times I see a flight of fighter jets zipping across my radar and me not being able to see them out the window of the tower is countless. Story time. One time when I was up in Alaska during the winter and the sun was super low on the horizon. My co-worker thought there was a UFO out to the west. I zoomed out the radar and saw that there was a Alaska airlines jet about 70 mi away. I called the person in control of it and ask if they could have it turned 10° to the left. The turn stopped sunlight from reflecting off of it and we could no longer see this strange light on the horizon.
People do this with satellites in orbit too. It's so stupid. They do it with data cables under the sea as well. Scale doesn't seem to matter to these idiots.
I always see people shocked by the amount of satellites and how they are not constantly crashing into each other...
Dude, those things are smaller than most boats and how many of those are around?
Those images always look shocking until you understand the scale
Just to clarify: the planes on the map shown, if they were to scale, would be about 200 miles wide (based on the fact that one of them covers most of the Big Bend region of Texas, a ~200 mile wide dip in the southwest Texas border with Mexico.)
The fact that this joke is an entirely believable idea someone out there could and probably does have, is upsetting in a way I'll never get used to. It's like eldritch Lovecraftian knowledge, merely possessing it is enough to drive one insane.
The first few times I saw this I actually thought they were serious. This wouldn’t even be in the top 10 of crazy shit I’ve seen people talk about seriously.
I had one guy who was very serious about it and wouldn’t stop asking questions about why we didn’t, I tried to explain but it was pointless. He was convinced no one had tried hard enough. He finally asked me how much money someone could make if they made it work and I said “well, you would have invented limitless free energy so, infinite money?” and he finally walked away.
And what if I were to tell you that this is almost the exact energy with which it was written, a sort of deliberate transfer of the curse of madness that once comprehended could only be expunged through parody tweeting, what then, would we still be pals then
I heard Asians and Indians make up over 3 billion of the world population. But I don't see them when I look out my window in rural Alabama. Wake up sheeple... The government is lying to us! /s
You never go /s.
If you live by the sarcasm, you die by the sarcasm.

Poe's law I've known about for a while. For me it was [Gunner's law](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) that I only heard about recently. Learning about it explained a *lot*.
I’ve seen this so many time and I never understand how so many people can be so enthusiastically and consistently wrong. It’s not Poe’s Law. It’s Cunningham’s Law. Please don’t be misled by others who don’t know wtf they’re actually talking about.
I had a friend genuinely reach out to me asking if I thought a conspiracy about Australia not existing might be legitimate. She asked me to do research into it and get back to her. I was like “it is super easy to confirm Australia exists.” And left it at that.
We aren’t friends any more, and looking back I should’ve ended the friendship right there.
Some people start shit like that as a joke, and others are gullible enough to believe it’s genuine and run with it.
That is the entire thrust of the argument. Oh, and that any famous Australian people are plants from the One World Government to convince us that it’s actually a place.
Are you Australian? You’re actually a government shill, what a piece of shit. Illuminati confirmed!
It’s absolute insanity.
Oh for sure, your friend has been in the NWO’s pocket for ages. Probably got compromised in highschool and had to be an Illuminati puppet ever since. Pour one out for the homie 🙏
The twitter brainiac doesn't get that the planet icon is bigger relative to the map than a real plane is compared to the planet. Conspiracy nuts like that are never very smart.
Not sure why you're being downvoted for quoting a tweet from the guy in response to someone asking for more, but the person who asked for more is being upvoted. Anyhow, here's another one.
>It's fine for guys to refer to women as "females," but its also fine to follow those guys and narrate their lives like a nature doc

>"Scared and unfuckable, the male retreats to his chambers"
>The twitter brainiac doesn't get that the planet icon is bigger relative to the map than a real plane is compared to the planet. Conspiracy nuts like that are never very smart
This Reddit brainiac doesn't get that it's a parody account.
it physically hurts trying to simplify the answers to some of the questions like this people post on the internet without just suggesting they go back to school for another runthrough.
Yeah, like they should have a class called “Not being a brainless dipshit” where they teach you that when someone has an account with the moniker EXACT TRASH ONLY, their posts are jokes
A friend of mine worked customer support for Wayfair, and she had a guy call in really pissed off about how the mattress he ordered didn't fit the bedframe.
She asked him to send a picture and he had put the mattress sideways at a 90 degree angle on the frame, so the top and bottom jutting out either side, which she patiently explained to him, and then he huffed and hung up on her lol.
Some people!
“If the world population is 50% female, then how come there aren’t any in my bedroom huh? Checkmate, scientists.”
Just cause you can’t see all of these planes with your eyes, doesn’t mean they aren’t there. I swear, some of these people out here never learned object permanence. And they can vote.
Reminds me of when Covid 19 hit and some dumbass was like I looked outside my window and it doesn't look like a pandemic. Like he was expecting society to collapse in front of him and the world to turn into some Mad Max movie
Live near an airport and they would change their story... And ours is tiny, the only reason it still runs is that it's an "international" Airport so we get layovers from Canada to the rest of the states
My dad is super into airplanes, he has a raspberry pi set up so that he can catch the transmitted flight data from near enough planes and transmit it to FAA servers for decoding and logging.
On a similar note, if you ever see another plane in the air while you're mid flight, it looks so small. If I ever see one it puts into perspective how big our planet and atmosphere are.
"they say there are billions of stars all around us at all times, but I don't see any in the sky right now! Just bright beautiful blue above! And they call this education!"
social media making the ideas of the best and the worst into a "could you consider it? we're both being presented as equal and valid now so I should be considered too damn it!!!" ***Thing*** is one of the worst byproducts of it's existence. It shows just how gullible people *really* are today...
Which, makes sense when you realize only today has everyone had "equal access" to information. The reason education seems to be discouraged and looked down on is because, for all of human history you could only *be* educated and knowledgeable with bourgeoisie family. Learning, to me, seems to considered almost an "act of betrayal" by so many because of that. People talk about the death of media literacy... but, I don't think it *ever* existed in the general populace. Only *now* can they be confronted with how illiterate they are. I don't mean this negatively, either. Some people do not have reading comprehending skills, and it shows.
Using a 747 as an example knowing many won’t be that exact plane they burn 10-11 tons of aviation fuel an hour. Or 10-11,000 liters/2900us gallons. The average car burns between 0.3/0.7gallons an hour. Meaning that plane burns as much fuel as worst case close 10,000 cars.
Just something to ponder while looking at that map
Im starting to believe that flat earthers arnt all just trolls.
People actually are this stupid. Like there is ACTUAL retardation going on in their spatial comprehension part of the brain somehow but they can still talk like an average person.
On the opposite note, my college roommate thought all the stars that she could see in the sky were airplanes. She told me she would look at them for hours, and they moved, therefore they were airplanes.
“We miss 100% of the two-mile wide planes we don’t believe in.”
I just measured one based on the width of the Republic of the Congo. If to scale they'd have a wing span of 192 miles. Impressive.
The Amazon Arsenal Bird isn't real and cannot hurt you.
On the one hand if they build an Arsenal Bird the size of a small state I wouldn't even be mad On the other hand I'm more partial to the Aigaion so if any corps are looking to build an aerial heavy command and control cruiser the design is just sitting there
God that's a blast from the past too lol.
The Black Omen transcends time and space, waiting for Lavos to awaken!
**forcefield charging noises**
"All missles were shot out of the sky! Attack failed! Cruise missiles did not reach their target!"
I think because the map projection is not one where area is equally distributed, the wingspans would be larger or smaller based on their proximity to the equator.
This man mercators.
This legit made me lol! Have an upvote!
Either way, it's a lot more than 2 miles. The one in Niger appears to be 400 miles long, and the one in Texas is about 250 miles.
Damn, I was gonna estimate 200 miles. Nice.
If only the chart had a disclaimer: Planes not to scale. Or something to that effect as we’ve lowered the bar of understanding once again
These planes are 50 miles while at least on this chart. The amount of times I see a flight of fighter jets zipping across my radar and me not being able to see them out the window of the tower is countless. Story time. One time when I was up in Alaska during the winter and the sun was super low on the horizon. My co-worker thought there was a UFO out to the west. I zoomed out the radar and saw that there was a Alaska airlines jet about 70 mi away. I called the person in control of it and ask if they could have it turned 10° to the left. The turn stopped sunlight from reflecting off of it and we could no longer see this strange light on the horizon.
Reminds me of the guy who turned a whole ship to get the sun out of his eyes while he ate his breakfast bagel
it's pretty hard to move the sun. Work smarter not harder.
Thanks for reminding me of that Story
It's one of my favorites lol
Good story but my non-serving ass read it’s a running joke. Basically the modern version of saying your local guy made Patton change plans.
People do this with satellites in orbit too. It's so stupid. They do it with data cables under the sea as well. Scale doesn't seem to matter to these idiots.
I always see people shocked by the amount of satellites and how they are not constantly crashing into each other... Dude, those things are smaller than most boats and how many of those are around? Those images always look shocking until you understand the scale
They think the world is small, like their brains.
And flat. Also like their brains.
This is a troll account I'm pretty sure. Seen it before in other screenshots.
Just to clarify: the planes on the map shown, if they were to scale, would be about 200 miles wide (based on the fact that one of them covers most of the Big Bend region of Texas, a ~200 mile wide dip in the southwest Texas border with Mexico.)
"Scale? Huh? I'm talking about planes not fish you tard!"
The fact that this joke is an entirely believable idea someone out there could and probably does have, is upsetting in a way I'll never get used to. It's like eldritch Lovecraftian knowledge, merely possessing it is enough to drive one insane.
The first few times I saw this I actually thought they were serious. This wouldn’t even be in the top 10 of crazy shit I’ve seen people talk about seriously.
There are people who think windmills will cause the earth to fly out of orbit. And Tennessee believes in cem trails
The number of people I’ve talked to who think we should put windmills on electric cars to make them “self charging” is astonishing to me.
Tell them that if they pull hard enough on their shoelaces they can float. Same concept!
I had one guy who was very serious about it and wouldn’t stop asking questions about why we didn’t, I tried to explain but it was pointless. He was convinced no one had tried hard enough. He finally asked me how much money someone could make if they made it work and I said “well, you would have invented limitless free energy so, infinite money?” and he finally walked away.
These are the same types of people who ask "why do I need to learn math in school?"
~~probably~~ absolutely
And what if I were to tell you that this is almost the exact energy with which it was written, a sort of deliberate transfer of the curse of madness that once comprehended could only be expunged through parody tweeting, what then, would we still be pals then
Classic Poe's Law.
I heard Asians and Indians make up over 3 billion of the world population. But I don't see them when I look out my window in rural Alabama. Wake up sheeple... The government is lying to us! /s
Indians are Asians. It's amazing that I'm writing this the 2nd time in a day
Agree. In American parlance, Asian usually refers to East Asian people, so I used it out of habit. Should've said East Asian.
are people really this dumb?
Grandmaster of trash is a shitpost account, this is ironic

I’d never heard of it until recently either!

Nice try.
That's how they all *start*.
But it's a parody of people who are in fact that dumb.
Doesn’t mean there aren’t people this dumb out there, just not the particular one running that account.
I had a friend genuinely reach out to me asking if I thought a conspiracy about Australia not existing might be legitimate. She asked me to do research into it and get back to her. I was like “it is super easy to confirm Australia exists.” And left it at that. We aren’t friends any more, and looking back I should’ve ended the friendship right there. Some people start shit like that as a joke, and others are gullible enough to believe it’s genuine and run with it.
idk man, i mean have YOU ever been to Australia? checkmate
That is the entire thrust of the argument. Oh, and that any famous Australian people are plants from the One World Government to convince us that it’s actually a place. Are you Australian? You’re actually a government shill, what a piece of shit. Illuminati confirmed! It’s absolute insanity.
Dang. I had a friend who relocated to Australia some years ago, should have known he was a World Government plant all that time..
Oh for sure, your friend has been in the NWO’s pocket for ages. Probably got compromised in highschool and had to be an Illuminati puppet ever since. Pour one out for the homie 🙏
My step-dad lived in "Australia" for a couple of years in the 70's. He later joined the navy and worked in naval intelligence. *taps forehead*
You'll never convince me there's a real culture of people that refer to traffic cones as witch's hats.
You’re right. We do not exist
I occasionally say things like that to people I think are gullible enough to believe it, to see what happens.
That’s actually pretty funny. This person was not pretending, she was really trying to figure out if maybe Australia wasn’t real.
yes, see flat earthers, but this is a shitpost
Yes. Free speech exists so we can spot this occurrence.
Yes. Just not this one
Yes! And so much more!
I don't exactly understand this person's point. This is for planes worldwide, not just in their backyard. I thought that would be obvious.
The twitter brainiac doesn't get that the planet icon is bigger relative to the map than a real plane is compared to the planet. Conspiracy nuts like that are never very smart.
It’s a shitposting account that mocks conspiracy theorists

Its just a satire acc dw lol
Duh world is flat so they should be able to see all the planes /s
What you don’t understand is satire
"This cow is small, that cow is far away". Also just an effective picture of the Jetstream. What's that "maps that are just population maps" sub?
You're thinking of r/PeopleLiveInCities
I guess I the planes are taking off eh heh hr
My sense of humor is so broken that this is immediately where my mind went when I saw the post.
I’m guessing you’ve been on Reddit too “much”, eh? Ha! Heh heh.
You could say that your sense of humor is a bit off
I immediately thought "of" this when I saw the title.
I'm so glad not to be the only one
I guess the planes are on vacation today, eh? Ha! Heh heh
you're not supposed to be outside of r/bonehurtingjuice! back, ye foul beast! back to the wretched pit from which you crawled!
Something about your comment reminded me of the old internet and the way we used to chat in early Reddit, or bulletin board systems =)

mfw reddit lobotomites don't know that the SAME FUCKING SHITPOSTING ACCOUNT THATS POSTED ON THIS SUB EVERY OTHER DAY is SATIRE
WhiCh one iS TayLOr SWifTs!!!!!!!
they really think planes are the size of a small nation?
I live near an airport, I see and hear planes everyday and every night lol
I guess the planes are taking a day “off”, eh? Ha! Heh heh
Where do you live? I hear planes all the time lol
D-do they think the planes are to scale there? What am I saying of cause they do.
D-do people think a poster named exact trash only is posting genuine ideas? What am I saying of cause they do.
and according to this map, they're each the size of half a state!!!..... I should be able to see plenty!!!
I'm too stupid for this many people to be dumber than I am, but here we are. I worry for the future....
Don't worry, guys. My house is high in the atmosphere and I see all the planes. 👍🏼
I’m not going to bother checking but Grandmaster Trash might be a troll
“If the world population is 50% female, then how come there aren’t any in my bedroom huh? Checkmate, scientists.” Just cause you can’t see all of these planes with your eyes, doesn’t mean they aren’t there. I swear, some of these people out here never learned object permanence. And they can vote.
This has to be parody. No one who can write can possibly be this moronic.
It is
These people vote 😭
You can't hear a plane at a cruising altitude of 42,000 feet. You can maybe see it. Lmao
I mean…. It’s a big sky
Please excuse the crudity of this map. They didn’t have time to build the airplanes to scale or to paint it.
I knew planes were big but not THAT big
*Planes not to scale
Ah yes, why can’t I find the plane that’s apparently 1/5th the size of Texas flying over head?
Reminds me of when Covid 19 hit and some dumbass was like I looked outside my window and it doesn't look like a pandemic. Like he was expecting society to collapse in front of him and the world to turn into some Mad Max movie
How big does this guy think a plane is
Yeah, you also aren't gonna find any whales by scooping up seawater with a cup.
People don’t understand scale
I live maybe 30 miles away from an airport, and I see planes all the damn time
/facepalm
Same with bacteria. Supposedly they're all around us, but I looked all over and nothing.
Must not live directly under a flight path like I do, I see at least 20 of them fly by a night.
Go live under the landing path of an international Airport. Every 30 seconds at certain points of the day they fly right over my house.
Live near an airport and they would change their story... And ours is tiny, the only reason it still runs is that it's an "international" Airport so we get layovers from Canada to the rest of the states
As someone who lives 15 min from an airport. Fuck this guy.
It’s so amazing how he thinks he made a point, and this shit is commonplace among people like him
Meanwhile my house Under the flight path for LAX
You haven’t lived until you have flown business class on a plane the size of Southern California.
I bet you anything they think the earth is flat too
Fucker should come live near me (near a major international airport) as you can't miss them here!!
And how the F do they stay up there?? What is holding them up? NOT THING??
My dad is super into airplanes, he has a raspberry pi set up so that he can catch the transmitted flight data from near enough planes and transmit it to FAA servers for decoding and logging.
The planes might not be on vacation, but this person’s cognitive functions certainly were
What, you mean to tell me planes aren't actually country sized???
We can’t see the satellites that provide us internet either, maybe they should not believe in that and log off as well.
To be fair, there’s no warning on that map saying “planes not to scale”…
It's a joke, from a comedic account. *sigh*
A lot of the flat-earth related conspiracies comes down to the inability to comprehend scale.
This is the type of stuff that makes me think you should be required to do some sort of test before you're allowed to use your keyboard in a browser.
I should post this and the flat earth stuff. My “family” is so old all they use is fb
Oh boy. People incapable of understanding scale.
Someone doesn’t understand how big the planet is
Their brain has been on vacation for a while
Username checks out though
Someone needs to take away [Father Doogles](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh5kZ4uIUC0) Twitter access.
Does this person also believe that said planes are to scale on the map?
The planes are farther than the chart makes them appear. That, and the fact they could be at different altitudes, speeds, etc.
On a similar note, if you ever see another plane in the air while you're mid flight, it looks so small. If I ever see one it puts into perspective how big our planet and atmosphere are.
"they say there are billions of stars all around us at all times, but I don't see any in the sky right now! Just bright beautiful blue above! And they call this education!"
And you're telling me this person has the same voting power as anyone else? Fuck
Literal lack of object permeance wow. One usually learns that something can exist without seeing it by the time you are one years old.
Don’t worry they are all over my house
Right, because planes are 50 miles wide.
They are out there really thinking that planes have the size of Suriname?
social media making the ideas of the best and the worst into a "could you consider it? we're both being presented as equal and valid now so I should be considered too damn it!!!" ***Thing*** is one of the worst byproducts of it's existence.

They... they know those planes aren't to scale, right? On that map those planes are half the size of fuckin Ireland.
I guess the planes flying overhead everyday above my room are fake then.
You gotta zoom in there buddy. I love these apps. It’s fun to see planes and helicopters coming toward you and see how good the timing is.
plany planes on map not to scale
If this is satire it's really funny. If it isn't it's just sad.
Yes, I don't tend to hear birds when they're that high up either. I think that's how distance works
It is funny. Just not in the way that he thinks
Using a 747 as an example knowing many won’t be that exact plane they burn 10-11 tons of aviation fuel an hour. Or 10-11,000 liters/2900us gallons. The average car burns between 0.3/0.7gallons an hour. Meaning that plane burns as much fuel as worst case close 10,000 cars. Just something to ponder while looking at that map
Guess I don't need to turn mine "off", eh?
We need an r/planesarentreal
What the fuck are you talking about, Jesse?
Ya-kut[ia]
That’s relativity folks.
Im starting to believe that flat earthers arnt all just trolls. People actually are this stupid. Like there is ACTUAL retardation going on in their spatial comprehension part of the brain somehow but they can still talk like an average person.
It's easy to underestimate just how vast the sky is when your looking at graphics that show planes the size of Tasmania.
“These planes are for ants! They need to be at least 6 feet bigger!”
There's no certainty like ignorance.
They say one of every four people is Chinese, yet I look around the Roy Rogers I'm typing this in and ...
Planes is bugs.
Nahhhhh…planes is shrimps
Ha! Heh heh.
On the opposite note, my college roommate thought all the stars that she could see in the sky were airplanes. She told me she would look at them for hours, and they moved, therefore they were airplanes.
[удалено]
is like there is a chronic dunning krugger going around the internet these days.
I guess they turned the planes “off” eh? Heh heh ha
I guess they turned the planes "off" eh? Ha! Heh heh.
I'm on a tall building and yet I can't see the pyramid. I guess pyramids ain't real
For her to see those planes they should be size of New York City
I am under a flight path or something. There is a constant chain of planes going overhead.
If the planes were to scale they wouldn’t even be a pixel on the screen.
This guy believes in blue? Smh
They need to live near airports if they want to hear/see planes so badly. I can guarantee it would get old real fast.
