Mine’s a tie between a near future and a not so near future sci-fantasy bazinga take:
“Self-driving cars are the key to a post-scarcity future!” (when asked how the fuck that conclusion was drawn, I was told “do the research.”)
“Even if climate change is proven to actually be a problem, climate doesn’t matter in space. We can have fully sustainable cattle farms in orbit producing as much meat as we need. Elon Musk.” (yes, that bazinga fuck actually said “Elon Musk” at the end of that claim like it somehow stamped a seal upon the rest of the take)
North Korea actually doesn’t have nukes
After only their first test, which was like a 0.5-2kt yield, I can understand this claim somewhat. They could have faked that as a bluff with lots of conventional explosives. Doesn’t make so much sense why they would, but it was a plausible interpretation I guess.
Given that their later tests were something like a hundred times that, it’s kinda absurd to still try to make the claim
I think libs think of the DPRK as a project of enormous effort to give the illusion of functionality from the last 3 remaining north koreans.
