Going nuts with the Tesla shield
Posted by: | CommentsSome weeks ago I received a comment from a man asking for proofs and evidences that the Purple Tesla Shield is a scam (Read my original article about the Tesla shield for more infos). I must admit the man asked the proofs in a rather rude way, so let’s hear his rational thoughts:
why are all you negative “bashers” wasting your time reading this stuff — spending large amounts of time “blogging” about it - YET not one of you has any legitimate defense, nor have you proved ONE single FACT as to why this technology is FALSE — So what’s your argument? I’d like to hear some FACTS not just hot air and negative OPINE — IDIOTS. And NO I’m not from Life Technology — I’m a person with common sense that YOU all NAY SAYERS have not appealed to in the least intelelectuallyl — PRESENT YOUR ARGUMENT AND FACTS or SHUT YOUR PIE HOLES.
Oh, and who’s the jackass who posted this as a “scam”??? What’s your argument buddy? where are your FACTS — PROVE IT or SHUT UP. There IS real technology like this, and minerals, metals etc. are NATURAL SUBSTANCES just like food, water and other elements the body needs to defend itself so WHY is it so hard to believe that there is “technology” (READ: applications of science and nature) that can perform what some find incredible?) — Let’s move out of the dark folks into the light.
All right, here’s your shining moment buddy. You know how I love to post hate comments I receive and you also know how it makes me laugh. First of all, I just want to answer the easiest question that man asked: Read More→
Launching Daily Common Sense Forum!
Posted by: | CommentsI’m proud to announce that Daily Common Sense now has its own forum! I added a link in the navigation bar for the forum section, but you can reach it at the following address: Daily Common Sense Forum.
I must admit I mainly created the forum because of 2012 Explained, which at the time of writing has 735 comments! It really is a pain to load the article now because of all the comments in there and I’m slowly moving things to a forum instead. I’m not closing the comments yet but there will surely be a time where it won’t be possible to post a comment in that specific article. I receive thousands of first time visitors to that single article every week and I think it’s a pain for a first time visitor to load that page. A total turn off.
So there you go, continue to comment in here I really appreciate it, but the forum is a good way to exchange with others and also to reach me! 
Enjoy!
Woah, what’s that new look?
Posted by: | CommentsFeeling a little lost? Where’s your old daily common sense? It’s gone! I felt like it was time for a change and I was really sick of the old theme, so I changed it. I don’t know if you guys like it better, but I certainly do. It’s much more lightweight and clean and I’m giving more space to what’s really important: the content.
I also changed the logo a little bit as you can see, so it can fit with the new look. It’s much more sober and elegant and it’s a little something I could easily put on a t-shirt…hint, hint.
One new feature I really like is that this new theme now supports “Gravatar”. What the hell is Gravatar? You will notice in the comment section that next to your name a picture will appear. If you don’t have a gravatar account, the default gray picture will appear. If you want a custom picture to show on the page, simply head to Gravatar and upload your own! This little image will not only be valid for my blog, but also for every other blog you comment on that has this feature enabled! Isn’t great? Yep, I know.
OK, I won’t write a 3 pages post about the new look of the website, you’ll discover it on your own. There might be some issues with it so feel free to comment if you are having some difficulties! Time to go to bed now, I’ve worked on this little thing all night…
Slow motion lightning strike for your entertainment
Posted by: | CommentsThis has nothing to do with the usual common sense stuff, but you guys know I like to post stuff about science too, so here’s a nice one:
Quite impressive isn’t it? You can find some other videos on YouTube but they aren’t as good as this one!
30,000 scientists against Al Gore + Global warming a scam
Posted by: | CommentsHere’s an interesting piece of nonsense for all of you:
Saying CO2 is no problem because it’s a natural compound is such a weak argumentation. You know, when I breath out, there’s CO2 coming out so there’s no problem or as he said: “It’s no…Big….Deal”. That’s a pretty weak argumentation for a PhD you must admit. It’s like anything in life, you have to keep a certain balance and we now have more CO2 than our poor little Earth can process. It’s not just because it’s a natural compound we can assume it’s harmless. Anyway, I must agree with the man when he says it’s almost a religion but I’m not ready to call global warming a scam.
The last ice age happened in a year
Posted by: | CommentsI read an interesting article today from The Scotsman. The article basically outlines the fact that the last ice age, 13,000 years ago, happened way faster than previously thought:
THE last ice age 13,000 years ago took hold in just one year, more than ten times quicker than previously believed, scientists have warned.
Rather than a gradual cooling over a decade, the ice age plunged Europe into the deep freeze, German Research Centre for Geosciences at Potsdam said.Cold, stormy conditions caused by an abrupt shift in atmospheric circulation froze the continent almost instantly during the Younger Dryas less than 13,000 years ago – a very recent period on a geological scale.
The new findings will add to fears of a serious risk of this happening again in the UK and western Europe – and soon.
Dr Achim Brauer, of the GFZ (GeoForschungs Zentrum) German Research Centre for Geosciences at Potsdam, and colleagues analysed annual layers of sediments, called “varves”, from a German crater lake.
Each varve records a single year, allowing annual climate records from the region to be reconstructed.
I think it really is important to learn from that and realize how fast climate changes can happen. I’ve said it numerous times on this blog, climate change will be the biggest challenge in the comming years and changes are happening faster than what scientists predicted. That being said, it’s nothing to be scared of, but just a little something that makes you realize how fast these things can happen.

Some particularities of conspiracy comments
Posted by: Ben Tremblay | Comments (7)Daily Common Sense is a well established blog in its field and I published a lot of articles to debunk scams/hoax and conspiracy theories. For that reason, you can imagine I receive hate comments from conspiracists on a daily basis. I must say conspiracists/doomsdayers just confirm how crazy they are for most of them when they comment on blogs. I mean, it’s simply crazy and here’s why. Read More→
