one time an episode of ancient aliens tried to convince me that aliens told the Egyptians about 9/11 to warn them about it and so the Egyptians used that knowledge to create the math and dimensions that built the pyramids to warn everyone else

a lot has been said about how ancient aliens stuff is racist, and that is true, but i think it's important that we remember ancient aliens stuff is also extremely extremely stupid. like yes if someone is into that stuff they're probably a racist, but they're definitely a moron.

#i remember this vividly i was super into the concept of aliens when i was younger #and i didn't believe everything they said but some of it i did #until this moment #it was a kind of sudden consciousness moment i was like 'ah we are stupid the entire way huh '#dont judge me for believing they presented it as very factual and i was like 13 #i also believed the mermaid animal planet doc okay I was just too young to register bullshit #when presented logically and factually #to be clear after i learned more i dropped any beliefs i held and now understand how racist it is to just assume aliens #but yes my 13yr old self very much believed in ancient aliens and i watched it religiously until that point
