Have you ever thought the years since 2020 have been pretty lackluster (to say the least) and yearn to escape to a different time??? Then boy do I have a conspiracy theory for you. What if we actually live in the year 1725.Let me introduce you to the phantom time hypothesis. That roughly 300 years between 600 and 900 AD only occurred on paper. There is a lot to this theory, we have to get you caught up on calendars and boy did you not even know you were behind... But you are so this is why we do this stuff. Seriously like you probably don't really know how leap years work, but don't worry we got you.Once you know way more about leap years then any functioning member of society frankly should we are then going to forcibly feed evidence down your gullet of an absence of evidence that things happened from 600 - 900 AD, like some sort of goose having it's liver primed for foie gras."But why would people fake these years?" you may honk at the farmer... that is me in this scenario. Well don't worry, unlike a goose farmer I will ensure you know the why, at least eventually. Seriously the theories as to why 300 years of our history come at about the 40 minute mark, because we need to explain the theory first. If you can't wait though it's because Otto the 3rd wanted to rule in the year 1000 AD. Yes there are reasons not to believe the phantom time hypothesis and we will cover that right at the end (because seriously come along for the ride before you realize its only to the liver harvesting facility (some may think I beat this metaphor to death, but it was worth it for the delicious livers! (kay I'm done now I promise))). Until then please try to follow along and have fun with this, it's a weird theory but it get's us out of the 2020's!In the intro Chelsie decided it would be a good time to go through a vast swath of climate headlines from the last month.
