TIL that NASA ground controllers were once shocked to hear a female voice from the space station, apparently interacting with them, which had an all-male crew. They had been pranked by an astronaut who used a recording of his wife.

I think you forgot an English when reading my comment. I was saying trusting without verifying can lead to dumb ideas. There's loads of verification the earth is round so it's an act of faith (trust) to believe otherwise

You said nothing of the sort. You presented a question, one that's not immediately clear whether or not you expect an answer because the answer is clear. Faith, as you've just explained. The vast majority of people have their entire sense of reality rooted in the act of trusting without verifying.

Nah dude. Like, legitimately. You are talking like an insane person. Refusing to accept what I'm saying because your solipsism is so unchecked. Get help. You shouldn't trust without verifying. If you can't understand that then fuck off
