2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $1675.86Goal: $10000

A reminder that you need at least 75 edits and to have had an account for at least 3 months to vote.

About the quote[edit]

Bin Laden probably did Hate America and freedom, he just had more reasons than just hating America. JekyllJones (talk) 13:42, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

If he hated freedom, why didn't he turn himself in? A freedom-hating person should be overjoyed to be imprisoned. FairDinkum (talk) 08:57, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
I have to wonder about including the quote. It was added in 2021. Can you imagine if someone put a quote on the top of the Holocaust article citing Mein Kampf for why it happened? I mean it's clearly different but I think people are entitled to come away with a different perspective than "it was pretty much just America's own fault"...

2 trillion dollars missing[edit]

That's all I have to say. --Back2theroots34 (talk) 21:05, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

It doesn’t communicate much of value. 2 trillion dollars from where? -Only Sort of Dumb (talk) 21:22, 17 May 2022 (UTC).
@OnlySortaDumb They're conspiracy baiting. Nothing they say is well thought out. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 21:27, 17 May 2022 (UTC)


c'mon, man[edit]

First of all, I would have liked it if the quote of the article was not some stupid David Cross joke, but something that actually makes fun of conspiracy theories like the Bill Maher quote which goes something like "The notion that Bush had knowledge about the attacks is absurd because it involves Bush and knowledge.".

Second, I learned a lot here. I had no idea that the WTC were made of paper. That's why they collapsed. No, there was no controlled demolition. Other buildings have suffered through fires and have been hit by planes in much worse scenarios, but WTC and WTC alone collapsed simple because they were made of paper. The WTC also contained some steel, but it was the kind of terrorist steel that collapses when nobody expects it to. — Unsigned, by: 86.122.28.167 / talk

Korean series[edit]

The Korean series 'Designated Survivor: 60 Days' has the Korean Parliament building being 'computer-network rewired with explosives' (and a complex conspiracy plot) - is this a passing nod at the 9/11-ers? Anna Livia (talk) 11:46, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

I just heard a hilarious good faith analogy: Can Ice Cut Metal?[edit]

If Ice cannot cut metal, then the Titanic could not have sank from hitting an iceberg. Submitted for your consideration. Torrent (talk) 07:25, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
