That site is a conspiracy. It tries to teach people about conspiracies and pseudoscience, but there's hidden meaning in the text that is really implanted there by malicious aliens bigoted against earth people and want to throw us in their version of concentration camps, turn us into slaves, and brainwash us into thinking we can and should drag this planet into a black hole.

JK just to clarify haha.

Ouch. I think you should post warnings. I didn’t expect to see naked person doing vagina steaming or whatever that crazy nonsense was. 🤦*♀️

I was gonna ignore it, but then I was intrigued by "naked person doing vagina steaming" and all of what @MuddyBoots wrote, and I couldn't resist!

You didn't see the vagina steaming? Did you even see the Biden bukkake?

Probably not. The site offers a random page when it loads; I suppose @divine1966 was lucky to see it so soon.

That is what I saw when I clicked on your link. What did you think you posted? I just tried again and that’s what I see. It’s not a photo. Article and a drawing with a title vagina steaming. On top it says rational wiki

It's the RationalWiki site. At least it opened as that for me. [and still does] Hey, I like a joke as well as most but that sorta thing isn't really my style of funny. Don't know why it opens for me. Did EVERYONE here have it open to anything other than the rational wiki website?

Seeing how the site is basically used to address nonsense posing as fact, it's no doubt disliked by some who believe their views to be pretty much sacrosanct. I'm wondering now if the site was messed with. Obviously, I guess it was. Messed with by someone who isn't coping well with the idea that people have a right to expose both sketchy concepts and the people that propagate them. I'm going to poke around a bit and see if this has happened elsewhere. Really sorry to those who might have been thrown off by what they opened up here. Not really surprised that someone did this. While it has always existed, the war against reason has been expanding exponentially. Pretty fugged up stuff.

I still recommend the site. Here's a brief Wikipedia description of the RationalWiki site. No worries...just some copy/pasting.

RationalWiki is an online wiki which is written from a scientific skeptic, secular, and progressive perspective. Its stated goals are to "analyze and refute pseudoscience and the anti-science movement, document crank ideas, explore conspiracy theories, authoritarianism, and fundamentalism, and analyze how these subjects are handled in the media."[7] It was created in 2007 as a counterpoint to the Christian fundamentalist Conservapedia after an incident in which some editors of Conservapedia were banned.[5][8] RationalWiki has been described as liberal in contrast to Conservapedia.[9][10]

RationalWiki aims to provide information about pseudoscientific theories[13] and to educate "individuals with unorthodox views".[14]

Omg that didn’t occur to me. I hope not. I certainly don’t intend to do it again. You are smart if you didn’t touch that link.

It does open as rational wiki site on the article about conspiracy using example about steaming genitalia and a drawing of a naked woman. Yes it addresses nonsense (no one is going to steam their vagina) as fact.

Really sorry everyone...no idea on the mechanics of how this happened. As I said it opens ok for me and continues to do so. Really confused me when I began to read the posts that were being left.

Ohhh...ok. So it opened for some on a page explaining that stuff. I'm going to go enter'vagina steaming' in the search function of the site and see where it leads. Well I just did and there are quite a few pages mentioning it. Mentions Gwyneth Paltrow as a proponent of the practice. Haha!...Ok...now I'm sorta clear on what happened.

Still strange it opened on anything other than the home page though. No huge harm done I guess and I'll reiterate: for some, the site can provide some interesting info on a lot of eyebrow-cocking stuff. There's humor in there too but the main aim is to open eyes at what's out there parading as level-headed rational thought.

I might just stick to the "Irrational" wiki going by all these crazy comments at this point hah. But always good to read other views etc for sure. It's the internet👍

The link took my browser to the Rational Wiki site. Regrettably, it did not display a page with "naked person doing vagina steaming." You cannot possibly fathom my disappointment. (Is that sarcasm I detect? Yes.) I had to do a search for that subject.

Anyway, my browser tends to block popups and other forms of web-based chicanery.

I wonder if it mentions **** bleaching?
