Ok, suppose special relativity is wrong. But Michelson–Morley experiments have been repeatedly reproduced and tested Lorentz symmetry to [math]10^−18 [\math].
What could be an alternative explanation?

What would happen if I injected the liquid mushroom cultures? Would they grow on my insides? I want them to continuously grow, be consumed and then grow again

Based on what I've read about personality disorders like antisocial, borderline, schizoid, narcissistic, histrionic and avoidant, mood disorders, schizo spectrum disorders, even conditions like epilepsy or TBI in relation to criminal behavior, it sure seems like everyone that does something truly bad has neurological issues.
If that's so, are the ASPD etc. people truly responsible, if their brain is defective?
Would a so-called normal person who understood reality ever be capable of such acts?

Are there any generals/resources/communities of people who do this kind of stuff at home? I remember doing the glowing fish lab in school and liked it a lot and it seems like something that would be fun to get into while it's still all passionate autists. (AI/ML has recently become terrible, for obvious reasons.)

It's characteristically unlike every other planet in the Solar System. If I could choose any planet to spend my last moments on, it would probably be Pluto.

I'm sitting here suffocating and the oxygen meter says my levels are 100%. Anyone who believes sticking your finger in something magically tells you your entire body/blood oxygen levels must be a fucking retard.

Scientific journals have a credibility problem.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin
>What we see here is a crisis caused by bad incentives. Publishers charge anywhere from $1,000 to $12,000 for publishing a single open-access article. Every time the publisher rejects a submission, they lose potential revenue. This creates a strong economic incentive to lower the quality standards — a temptation that many publishers cannot resist.
An epidemic of scientific fakery
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin
>A record number of retractions — more than 10,000 scientific papers in 2023. Nineteen academic journals shut down recently after being overrun by fake research from paper mills. A single researcher with more than 200 retractions.
>The numbers don’t lie: Scientific publishing has a problem, and it’s getting worse. Vigilance against fraudulent or defective research has always been necessary, but in recent years the sheer amount of suspect material has threatened to overwhelm publishers.
