I'd be questioning if the world is a sphere probably if the moon landing was shown to be a fake.

It was just misdirection and slight of hand. Just because the moon landing was a propaganda campaign, doesn't change Science, it should reinforce your understanding of it.
If you can reconcile that we didn't land on the moon in a maned space craft, then took off from the moon and made a return trip. On technology less than a 0086 Computer, then you can understand why we're throwing padded goo balls, and parachute toys on a one way trip to Mars. Understand that the Moon landing was almost a whole decade before the Calculator was invented. But the space program did propel technology ahead by decades if not a Century. It was those efforts that gave us the Transistor, Main Frame Computers, and the Calculator.

. It would change my entire understanding of geopolitics. It would mean we have had a one world government since 1969 and before.

We've had a one world government ever since the Holy Alliance, NATO and the UN was just modernization of the Congress of Verona, formed in 1822.

Another good argument for testosterone inhibitors.

Those were rubber movie props. You can see the axe blades fluttering in the wind and from them being moved.

How dare you assassinate my plagiarized meme.

Girl got enthusiasm.

There was a wine bottle in that vid?

That is hilarious!

Good reference to Futurama, Season 1, Episode 2.

They do at the local landfill.

Awesome musicbox!

Mockingbird in Safeway parking lot was imitating the sound of squeaking shopping cart wheels. I wonder if that will score him a mate.

Pretty sure that was a vault lid for an in-ground transformer or electric switch....

How do dogs navigate over long distances? Do they remember how far they were driven in a car?

I wonder if the rodents would have been electrocuted if that was a GFCI outlet.

There's still a hot wire running to a GFI, the internal switch just kills the return to disable the outlet. The hot leg, the brass screw, will still be live.

They make a strong case!

I'm not sure it's real. I would think that the mice would just get a zap and scurry away. One of the reasons AC is used in houses is that it does not paralyze your muscles like DC does.

Its not an AC / DC issue... depends on Amperage.

Edisons electrocution of the Elephant to prove DC was more dangerous was complete showmanship.

Frankly the whole Edison / Tesla battle to power our nation (nee the world) was facanating.

Edison was a DC promoter; the elephant was executed using AC to "prove" Westinghouse/Tesla's AC was dangerous. Also, Edison used Westinghouse AC on the first electric chair for the same reason. Edison definitely had a dark side.

Yep, and they both lost. Westinghouse/Tesla beat Edison, but then JP Morgan used lawfare (threatened to bankrupt Westinghouse with frivolous patent lawsuits) to take AC from Westinghouse and give it to his new General Electric company. GE was created from Edison Electric after JP Morgan used stock manipulation to oust Edison.
