    Christ, that’s some very subjective maths there. Reminds me of that Harold Camping fella who picked random words from the bible, added up the number of letters and then subtracted them from the present date to come up with the day the apocalypse would happen

    You just know they’re wanking themselves off think about how much more enlightened they are than all the sheeple, as they fall deeper down the Facebook conspiracy page rabbit hole, alienating family and friends

    Numerology is an interesting case when looking at conspiracy heads.

    The whole thing that lures people in (besides the fear and paranoia) is feeling like you know more than other, despite your lack of education, or career, when it comes to this certain subject you know more than not just the average person but scientists, government officials etc who are trying to harm you.

    They get a sense of achievement and feeling like they’re one of the wise ones who can see through the Matrix and see what’s really going on. Hence why we’re all sheep.

    Numerology you can use to “prove” anything true as it’s giving letters a number and adding them up to make messages or find further meaning that legitimises your agenda.

    I just think it’s really funny that the bloke doing basic addition on a piece of plastic on a lamppost must feel like Russell Crowe writing on windows in A Beautiful Mind.

    There’s another post about this from a while back, those signs are all over the country apparently.
    Personally, I’ve seen one that some headbanger nailed to a tree in Athlone.

    In fairness I get excited when the time matches the date so this is right up my crazy alley.

    They cheat at their own game there just the get the answer they want. They break the pattern to get the number they want by adding the second line of the 2018 year 2+0+18 instead of the same pattern as the others 2+0+1+8. If I get to make up whatever rules I want with those numbers I could probably make them all spell boobies upside down.

  6. That bottom cable tie is over 2+5+5. That is 12…. There’s 12 months in a year…

    Coincidence? I think not.

  7. There’s one of these hung in a tree opposite Domino’s in Mullingar town. If memory serves, some of the math is actually wrong and all 🤣

  8. What happened to adding all the numbers individually for line 2?

    Disappointed, can’t even keep the conspiracy with some level of consistency.

  9. Sometimes I want to know what it is that makes people become that way. What must happen in someone’s life to think that this is a good way to communicate?

    Probably the accounts dept in RTE. It would explain how they came up with needing a bailout of three quarters of a billion from the taxpayer.

    One of them in athlone by the river Shannon too. Been there over a year I’d say at this stage!
