Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Let the Fossils Speak for Themselves BY JONATHAN K. CORRADO, PH.D., P. E. | THURSDAY, JULY 16, 2026
https://www.icr.org/article/let-fossils-speak-for-themselves/
When conventional scientists call a fossil an early step in animal evolution, the claim may rest more on a reading of the fossil than on the fossil itself. In a new study, sharper images revealed that what had been identified as animal trails were actually fossilized microbes.1
The study reexamined tiny fossils from Brazil’s Tamengo Formation. Earlier work had treated some marks on the fossils as burrows made by small, wormlike animals. If that interpretation were true, those marks would have placed active animal life in the Ediacaran, below the Cambrian rocks where many complex sea creatures appear.2 But when the new study’s team used microtomography, nanotomography, and Raman spectroscopy to look inside the fossils, they found cells, coiled filaments, walls, organic matter, and pyrite. These are not marks of animals crawling through mud but are instead algae and bacteria preserved as body fossils.1
Trace fossils are indirect clues. A footprint, trail, or burrow does not preserve the animal itself. It preserves an effect. Engineers know the difference between a machine and a mark left by a machine. A scrape on a floor may suggest motion, but it cannot identify the device that left it without better data. In the same way, a fossil mark must be tested by shape, chemistry, and setting before rewriting life’s history.
This discovery weakens a common evolutionary move: using gaps to predict missing ancestors. Conventional scientists often look below the Cambrian for simpler animals that could lead to the sudden rise of many complex body plans. Yet this study shows creatures that are anything but simple, removing one supposed example. Better tools did not strengthen the earlier evolutionary reading. They weakened it.
Good data should be welcomed. But scientists should also be careful to not just see what they want to see based on that data. As this reevaluated research demonstrates, doing so can lead to erroneous deductions.
Clearly, claims about animal origins can change when fossils are checked more closely. The conclusion jumped from “early animals were here” to “microbial communities were here.” When fossils are judged by observed shape, chemistry, and setting, they not only are more likely to be interpreted accurately but also better reflect truly empirical science. Fully formed, fossilized life says less about evolution and more about the ordered complexity God placed in living systems from the beginning.

The search engine is busted on here so I'll ask in the gen chat. A family member is dealing with cancer. I've convinced her that chemotherapy is poison and she is taking Ivermectin. She's not sure about radiation and neither am I. Is this something to avoid as well? I can't search on Twitter because I've been permanently banned ever since Jan. 6th and my appeals are either ignored or sustained.
Radiation is poison too. Hbot all the things, fren. God bless her and you too.
Thanks. I thought I had heard of this too. It makes sense since radiation can cause cancer anyway. She'll have surgery next week to remove the cancer and has had to pause ivermectin for now. She won't be able to take it while she's in the hospital either. When she gets out, though, the plan is to take ivermectin instead of chemo and radiation.
Houston, we have a problem.....
Is it just me, or can I no longer actually use community search to find stuff? Anything I enter in the "community search" field returns nothing. Nada. Zilch.
Is this because the Cat's new improved searchy wearchy has co-opted and neutralized community search? Wots the haps, frens?

I mean, I love the concept and the facility of the new searchywearchy, but I'm not ready to set it up yet, and I just wanna track down a post I made a few years back, one Ive always been able to bring up using community search. Sigh.
The standard search seems to have taken its periodic subbatical. Starting to wonder if its secretly a liberal arts professor!
Well, I mean, going by the extremely high and erudite capacity of the community search (/s), you may be right!
55.26 spot silver.
I almost wish Trump would stop bombing the fuktards.
Don't measure your real money against fiat paper. Your silver is still as shiny and useful as before. Real money coming soon.
👍
The more they bomb, the more silver gets consumed
interesting point, didn't think of it that way!
Kek! It will go back up...
I know. That's why I said almost. It doesn't really matter if I have to wait a few more months.
🫡
You've been watching silver a long time, Pb. What is the lowest you think it could get?
I don't see it under 50. And I think we will be backup close to 60 Sunday night.
Alright, thanks!
BoA predicted in the 300’s by EoY
But BoA is criminals, so don’t trust them.
No worries, I don't trust them at all.
I’m sorry did I say “BoA”?
I meant “Bank of Italy”. It’s good to call things by their actual names! Kek.
Matters of State > Your personal profits
I agree. Many millions have lost more, and I have faith its just temporary.
What’s up with spot? Any idea? I don’t mind it at all, but it doesn’t make much sense.
Dollar is down today a bit,some BS about softer inflation numbers
We've been trading opposite the dollar for many years.
PDW is very much compromised. Almost every top comment is someone bitching about Trump. As the #s decline and down votes dont work anymore, Im seeing tons of fake "supporters" who just complain and make up low info crap. The fact that they denied Q and called us names bothered me a lot, but now its even more incestuous with manipulators and its now starting to make our movement look bad through slight manipulation in the comments.
My issue is that PDW doesnt have marketing besides word of mouth. That makes it tough to get grassroots folks vs a team of manipulators attacking constantly for their agenda. Many people have probably stopped coming as much since Trump is in power they feel they don't need to voice anymore. Without the down votes it just looks like we all support the top statement and many dont bark back or understand the slight manipulation. Their groups can alll upvote it to the top, and it looks like we all agree with the statement.
I like our small community here. We dont need a bunch of crap to fill up the comments section instantly. Thats what I liked about VOAT. We also need another VOAT, just incase this site goes down for what ever reason. We need more research, gah I miss all the stuff coming out in 2016-17. Im thankful for this board and the good folks we have here.
I came here from the Great Awakening group on Gab that Neon Revolt had started. Since then, NR seems to have abandoned Q even though he wrote a book and his Q expectations were proven wrong because he assumed that Trump would not go the Andrew Jackson route to be voted out of office and return 4 years later.
I like GAW far better than PDW, but since I can only access this site through scored.co, I can't even see images people share on here.
I really liked Neon when he came out but had to take a lot of stuff with a grain of salt. I thought he wrote a lot of great connections. Then he started to come off like controlled opposition, and made that book which I think was preconceived. Somehow I think he got comprised in some way and sold out. Or already was sold out and was controlled opp the entire time. It was disappointing and unfortunate to me as well.
I’ve been on a dental healing mission, and have found some products and a routine worthy of sharing. The link below is for a product line that has already provided me results after just a little over a week! Check out the before and after pics, you will be astonished, I can attest as I have experienced similar results. If you need some dental help, I intently urge you to check this out. I am astonished with the ozonated olive oil. Ozonated oil is a Tesla thing! I have also included a link about ozonated oil and its benefits.

Happy healing! Our bodies are designed to heal themselves, don’t let anyone tell you differently!

On this day in history:
Ghent, Belgium expels jews for usury abuses and relentless blasphemy and religious subversion (1549), jews massacre Russian czar and his entire family (1918)
I just want to say how good it feels to finally get a solid win even with no arrests. This is on the Q plan and right timing and from Q+ and everything! It also feels odd because such a solid win hasn’t really happened before. Yes we got Trump in twice and yes we see battles and win and lose some of those. I’m kind of walking around doing my job but bumping into walls with it so fresh in my mind and processing it continuously. They have to change the narrative fast so beware.
Lettuce at Taco Bell in 5 states confirmed as a source of diarrhea-causing parasite. Anyone else curious why there isn't a call to stock up on toilet paper when there is a severe diarrhea but there was for the Covid virus? Do you think it was all prearranged fear mongering to get people afraid of the coming Scamdemic?
