Conservapedia

[Unhealthy2]

I imagine that you've all heard of this site before. I've known of it for quite a while, and goddamn is it stupid. Andy Schlaffly, the founder, apparently thinks that the theory of relativity = moral relativism, and that complex numbers are a liberal plot to do god knows what. This site is the ultimate example of Poe's law in action, as it is often very hard to tell what is genuine, and what is written by the numerous trolls infesting the site.

Here are some real gems:

http://www.conservapedia.com/Brain
http://www.conservapedia.com/Relativity

They really can't help making absolutely EVERYTHING be about politics and religion. Also, there is apparently no evidence for relativity, and Barrack Obama used the concept of curved space-time as an argument for abortion.

I'm almost speechless.

My god, look at number 12.

Should I laugh, or should I cry?

Both.
I think the website was made entirely for joking, though. I hope...

[Alyakia]

I can't se- Oh? They stopped blocking non-American IPs? That's new.

No. The owner is the son of famous anti-women's rights protester Phyllis Schlaffly. He intends the site to be a resource for homeschooling. There may be a lot of trolls on there, but the site itself is genuine.

[Soviet Haaregrad]

Conservapedia, discrediting the conservative movement since 2008.

[Wikkiwallana]

RationalWiki keeps an interesting list of things happening there, and actually writes articles about their bigger foul ups, like trying to argue with Lenski's evolution experiment.

[Episarta]

This site is just horrible, awful, and terribly stupid. I find it amazing that they actually believe the stuff written on there.

[Meowfoundland]

I love the 'Atheism and' series.

Just remember, that's who controls the Republican party.

[Unhealthy2]

I love the 'Atheism and' series.

What about the "Homosexuality and" series?

It's out of date but, lulz.

I have to tell myself that these folks are to the right of even the republicans in order to keep myself sane.

[Natty Narwhal]

Just to add a few more absurdities. Gay Bowel Syndrome and Soccer and Socialism

[The USOT]

I think Metapedia is a better example of Poes law XL

My personal favourite.

[Episarta]

I find it interesting that in their article on bisexuality, which is quite small (from what I remember atleast), one of the few things they talk about is serial killers and pychos that may have been bisexual. They don't even provide deffinate proof, they just make the assumption. But what do you expect?

The nature and rules of soccer very much resemble socialism in many ways:

The "off-sides" rule prohibits using certain aggressive ("unfair") tactics in the game.
Soccer is very bureaucratic, and teams are very much tied to their countries.
The US is often treated unfairly by other nations in the game, one reason being soccer's lack of popularity in the US - socialism always claimed to favor the absolute will of the majority rather than personal and economic freedom of the individual.
The World Cup trophy resembles socialist Hollywood's Emmy Award.
In youth leagues, everyone gets a trophy for their efforts regardless of achievement, and there is no scoring in the game.
Even the World Cup encourages "achievement" by holding a third-place game for the two losers in the semifinals.
Union strikes, even during the playing season, are a major issue with soccer.
Riots caused by "hooligans" - fans of a team which lost a game - often include violent crimes, such as infringement on private property rights.
Participants are known to behave dishonestly and illegally and act against the interests of their team in order to gain financially themselves.
Soccer coaches only need a vocabulary of about 100 words to coach their teams, which is reminiscent of socialist pandering to the lowest common denominator. At least twice as many conservative words alone originated in the 20th century.

Not sure if srs.

I regret it. I think I feel my brain dripping out of my ear.

I'm sorry. I once spent an entire evening on Conservapedia for a good laugh...
I still feel the side effects.

Just to add a few more absurdities. <snip> and Soccer and Socialism

But this is true.

Association Football is a dark socialist European plot to undermine God-fearing American capitalism.

As a soccer-loving European who lived in the United States for some years before returning home, I was practically a fifth columnist.

You don't think the 1994 World Cup and the arrival of MLS happened without our influence, do you?

[Christmahanikwanzikah]

z = u + iv = abiogenesis = Paganism = Barack Obama

Irrefutable evidence that complex numbers are Satan.

I really like this one.

Even the World Cup encourages "achievement" by holding a third-place game for the two losers in the semifinals.

Just like the Olympics and every World Cup in every sport. Sports are clearly a communist plot to teach kids competition is evil.

I like Conservapedia; it's one of the best comedy sites that I can find.

Be careful, every time you read it you need to roll a save against losing sanity points. I believe it's a secret plot by Cthulhu.
