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: $8765.50Goal: $10000

All I see is pancakes. But then, it is a picture of pancakes, so that would be expected. ħumanUser talk:Human 17:54, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

Ems ain't pancakes, God hates pancakes, hence there can't be no images of pancakes. It is CLEARLY a Long Eared Jerboa scaring the crap outta Assfly. ĴαʊΆʃÇä₰ detering oozes!
No, you're both wrong. It's CLEARLY someone taking a dump into a hooker's mouth. Armondikov 17:58, 22 September 2008 (EDT)
So human, have any good audio samples that create false patterns? White noise can work but you have to listen to it for a while, isn't there some sort of sin wave audio frequency that sounds almost like words? tmtoulouse 18:39, 22 September 2008 (EDT)
Well, it's not so much that, as that what a tape recorder captures is not really "white noise" - and when running such equipment (like their cameras) way beyond the "design range" - ie, mic preamp cranked up all the way, rec level at full, then the slightest sound will create bizarre results down in the noise floor of the tape. Dunno if they've switched to digital yet, or if it makes their results "better" or "worse"... Example: hearing the "ocean" in a sea shell - it's the amplified sound of your own blood/pulse, breathing to an extent, and the shell touching your ear. Hell, just stick a finger in your ear and you'll hear EVP if you want to... with no fancy equipment! ħumanUser talk:Human 19:15, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

His Coneyness[edit]

The caption under the picture states, "Look closely and you will see God, or maybe a Rabbit." Are you trying to suggest that God is not, in fact, a Rabbit? 68.40.89.237 (talk) 15:37, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
