Comment on Enjoy a little conspiracy, as a treat
The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 4 months agoYeah, this meme was the first I’ve heard of it, but from some googling, apparently conspiracy forums have been obsessed with this weird “censored” pattern in space since like 6 or 7 years ago. Reading old threads that were using this to predict the end of the world in 2017 while it’s currently 2024 is pretty entertaining.
Found this page that gives an overview: themanilafolder.fandom.com/wiki/Red_Dragon

That article is bizarre. I do admit that it’s kinda weird that Google keeps messing with the image, but it’s very clearly just some celestial body(s) with a ring of light around it from either a gas cloud or lens refraction.
The tone of that article almost seems schizophrenic, saying that the “the problem is that the dragon is peeking” at us and that the “censor” might be to “hide how much we know from the dragon”.

Yeah, I’m not going to trust anything in the article, but I have to admit that it was a fun rabbit hole to fall down for a moment.
