Yes, it is blatantly obvious that you did no research whatsoever prior to posting this thread but that is not the point.
You imply in your premise "these photos aren't edited tho" that editing photos is the only form of misinformation that was possible in this scenario. It is this complete lack of sceptical thinking that is the real root cause of the problem and what led you to draw the conclusion that someone decided to put up a bunch of rocks and claim it was thousands of years old because... reasons...
If you do not acknowledge this root cause of the issue then you have not actually learned anything at all.

Only about 21 percent of troops saw immigration as a significant national security issue, but 48 percent identified white nationalists as a concern
Not really suprising given general culture of the U.S military.

So you are saying that the photos do not need to be photoshopped in order for the random video on YouTube to be misleading? Okay, everyone but you already knew that. That is pretty common sense. The question is why you did not originally pick up on that. In other words what was your original thought process that led from "these photos are not photoshopped" to "this random guy on the internet is right about there being a worldwide worldwide conspiracy to make people think Stonehenge is older than it really is"? You never explain the thought process led to that conclusion. Like I said in a previous post that is what I was trying to do, get you to explain your thinking.

Has this been a recurring problem? I am only aware of it happening the one time...

Mocking me doesn't prove the photos are fake.
Straw man detected. Not a single person said the photos are fake, just that they aren't pictures of Stonehenge being built.
I ask again... can you prove Stonehenge existed before 1972? This is very obviously not mocking you but rather a serious question designed to determine what you deem as acceptable evidence. The fact that this is so obvious makes your sidestepping of the question quite telling.

What about these photos tells you:- it's stonehenge- it's being built- it's 1954
But... but... it says so in the video title!

Stonehenge being built in 1954
Ridiculous. Can you find any proof that Stonehenge existed before 1972?

Wow, you really are buying into the government propaganda rather easily aren't you? I mean come on... 1950's? The place was built in the year 1972. Stop buying everything the man sells you, man.

Okay, I give up. How are you making the copyright symbol that you put after Bible Slapping Silly? I can't figure out how to do that.
On a computer hold the alt key and type 0174® or 0169©. Be sure to use the keypad on the right side and not the numbers on the top of the keyboard.
Edit: Also make sure your 'num lock' is on.

Disc! What did we say about asking for money on DART?
To only do it if it is funny in a particular situation?

6/10 overall, though there were definitely some parts that deserved lower or higher marks individually. Significantly less fun than the book of Mormon.

A while back on DDO, I started a nuzlocke.
You had one going on DART, did you misremember it as DDO or are you talking about a different one?

I choked on the spicy pepper package of the cup ramen i was eating but i felt a sharp pain in my right hand wrist vein. why?of course my throat also hurt but my right wrist vein hurt like hell.
I can only assume that you tagged me in this due to my PHDs in Tomfoolery and Rubik's cubes.
Sadly, much like your cup of ramen (not the one that inspired your post, the one you are eating while reading this one), both of these PHDs expired several months ago and I have yet to renew them. For this reason I legally cannot offer any advice regarding your current condition at this time.

if I click the hashtag, it takes me to all the pictures of dogs.
Interesting. Never knew that. I was only ever aware of the second usage you mentioned but always figured there had to be some other usage that the meme derived from. Now I know what that was.
no point in using them on DART unless you wanna look douchey
So... all the time?

@Reece101
So basically it wouldn’t be correct because most people are ignorant?
Not exactly. Consider the fact that the word earth is often used as a synonym for the word dirt.

I really doubt anyone has actually tried to argue that god is evil.
It is possible that people have said "I don't think any gods exist but if this one did I would think it is evil" but I really reeeeeally doubt anyone has ever said god is evil except as a shorthand for that idea.

Hey supa, I just realized in the last post that I have no idea why people for the last ten years or so have been putting pound signs in front of words and calling it a 'hashtag'. I gather it has something to do with social media but I don't use social media so I don't know the details. You are the first person I thought of to explain this to me since you are my favorite nerd on this site. Please resolve my ignorance on this topic at your earliest convenience.

@Greyparrot
Now that you have returned from your Googling of the phrase "cherry-pick" let's do a thought experiment to test whether you are considering evidence then coming to conclusions or instead doing the exact opposite.
If someone made a thread saying that gun control laws have a generally positive impact on crime rates and they used as evidence the fact that a small county in Nebraska with a population of 400 that had banned guns had less crime per capita than another random small county of 400 in Idaho which had not, would you say they were coming to a logical conclusion based on sound reasoning or would you point out that they were blatantly cherry-picking and therefore their conclusions were not likely to be entirely valid?

@Greyparrot
That's 2 more places than I needed to prove my point.
That's not how statistics works. Google the term "cherry-picking". I am sure you have heard the term and even used it to dismiss arguments you disagree with before but today is the day you go find out what it actually means.
Take your time. The forum will still be here when you return.

There are over 200 countries in the world so yeah, doing worse than all but 3 is pretty bad.
(200 is a lot bigger than 3, so "pretty much everyone" is accurate. At least according to the info you are giving. If you are giving inacurate or cherry-picked data that's on you).
Like I said though, just going off the info you gave, which says only 3 places are doing worse than Sweden.
Created:

@Greyparrot
No I meant that according to your graph they are just doing terrible, worse than pretty much everyone. Only three others doing worse than them according to you. Not sure if that is accurate, I am just going off of your info.

@Greyparrot
Fake news wants to spin their own narrative, but you can read this graph and make your own judgement.
According to your graph Sweden is doing worse though...

Usually the idea is to buy before the split but I don't see anything wrong with either of these companies. Splits are generally a positive sign for companies health and this doesn't seem like an exception.

I'm not positive that's necessary with it already pinned, but voter turnout does feel lower than it was for the harder nomination process.
Most people probably thought the nomination thread was the voting thread. Yes it sounds dumb, because it is, but consider the fact that many people thought that supas announcement of the upcoming hall of fame was the voting thread. That is the level we are dealing with.

Them launching asteroids at the Earth, from light years away, was just too much.
Pretty sure it was an asteroid from within the solar system nudged by a stealthy scout ship of theirs, your suggestion of "just attack the planet with their fleet directly then if they are that close anyway" not being possible due to the human defenses in system I assume.
