Which also means that it's probably decently easy to fake if you really want to.

It's not really to scale at all. Look at the distance between earth and the moon in relation to the other planets.

And even if it worked, you wouldn't need a radiation source more dangerous than a banana to make a geiger counter go click enough to play along.

I actually know a guy who's favorite thing about his job is that he gets to count pollen.

Similar in Germany. The "we are done playing, ignore this and go to jail" mail will be sent in a special yellow envelope most of the time.

I'm in my mid thirties in Germany and literally never got or sent a single check.

Primitive Technology, the channel that inspired all those faked terrible "building stuff in the woods" channels, but the original is really good.

I always find it fascinating how specific those theories become. Want to believe that our universe is just some sort of quark in a bigger universe we can't know anything about? Fine. Doesn't make terribly much sense, but what does at that scale anyway? But then going on and being sure that that bigger thing must be Plutonium? Why? How?

I always find the faster than light opera neutrinos a good example how actual serious scientists handle an experiment that break well established and proven basic laws of physics. Hint: They did it very differently than the people in the article.
