Fell into an Antarctica conspiracy theory hole this morning. It’s crazy how many people with podcasts think there’s a whole secret civilization hidden under the ice.

How do u know there isn’t ? 👀


Everything’s fake

Did you hear about the 19 years old pilot that rerouted and flew over it and was detained after landing?

Because the scientists who have actually spent time there don’t say this, it’s always some hillbilly with a microphone with no actual experience other than consuming slop online. 

One of the skills you acquire as a journalist is knowing how to judge credibility. It doesn’t always work. But this is a clear case.

If Antarctica is fake, clearly no civilizations under it.
