- Woah, what’s that new look?
Feeling 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 […]

- Some particularities of conspiracy comments
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 […]

- Slow motion lightning strike for your entertainment
This 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
Here’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. […]

- The last ice age happened in a year
I 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 […]

- Alex’s 2012 youtube video
Alex, a loyal DCS reader, made a video about 2012 and this video is partially based on my 2012/pole shift articles. I just want to post the video in here so you guys can have a look. It actually got some attention on youtube with 100+ comments and 2,577 views…Not bad at all. So here […]

- Funny body facts
I found a little something on the Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry website and I’d like to share it with you. It’s actually a list of useless but funny body facts most people (that includes me) aren’t aware of. Visit the website for the complete list, but I’ll post some of my favorite here:
Women […]

- Galactic Federation
Today, in my daily search for scams, I found a real gem! I ended up on a website called The Nibiruan Council and the amount of crap you can read there is quite amazing. Let’s start with the introduction just to give you a brief idea:
Welcome to the official website of the Nibiruan […]

- 2012 galactic alignment: hoax
I said it numerous times and I wrote plenty of articles stating 2012 is a complete scam. A DCS reader posted a link to NASA’s “Ask an Astrobiologist” website and it deserves some attention. Here is the question/answer:
Question
Hi, i have a question about the sun alignment in the center of the galaxy in 2012. Will […]

- Daily Common Sense goes with a full RSS feed
I decided today to go with a full RSS feed and full articles on the first page. I initially thought it was cleaner to only post part of the articles on the first page but it has the nasty consequence of generating an incomplete RSS feed. I read a lot of blogs and realized how […]

- Incredible pictures of Mars
Dailymail has a really nice article about the most detailed photographs of Mars ever taken:
Scientists have released some of the most detailed photographs of Mars ever taken.
The pictures, which were snapped from a European Space Agency (ESA) probe, show a region of the Red Planet called the Echus Chasma.
The deeply-incised area is a network of […]

- What the hell happened with web bot today?
Was there a show on tv today or something about the web bots? I received a sudden rush of traffic to my article about the web bots, which you can find over here. I don’t see any problems with that as I’m always open to get more traffic, but I’m wondering where the hype is […]

- Alien Interview: Top sercret transcript
Here’s the latest scam I’ve found: “Alien Interview: Top secret transcripts from Roswell”. That’s right, for the small fee of 18$ for a paperback, you get:
the complete and unedited top secret transcripts of a series of interviews with an alien survivor of the notorious Roswell UFO crash conducted at the Roswell Army Air Field.
I really […]

- Man wants to change his name to: ‘Fuck censorship’
Here’s a stupid one:
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - A New Mexico appeals court on Friday ruled against a Los Alamos man who wanted to change his name to a phrase containing a popular four-letter obscenity.
The man appealed after a state district judge in Bernalillo County refused his request to change his name to “Fuck Censorship!”
Judge […]
