I thought it was a good joke. But hey, this is Reddit.

Just giving my opinion man, take your outrage elsewhere. Maybe make a post about how not funny his comment was, and get some folks together who can be mad with you.

After 9 11 there were, and probably still are, a number of people who claimed the terrorist attacks were part of a conspiracy and not the result of airplanes being flown into the buildings. One of the most quoted “reasons” was that the fire from jet fuel couldn’t cause the towers to collapse. “Jet fuel can’t melt steel” became their slogan and later a meme.

In this video the building collapses in a very similar way to the World Trade Center towers did. To any normal person that makes sense, structurally that’s what happens when it is weakened. But to a conspiracy theorist it becomes something to disprove because there must be other dark forces at play.

My joke was based on those ideas: building collapses, everyone says it’s a an earthquake, can’t be true, must find crazy reason, spread it on the internet together with flat earth non sense or some other bs

No, I got it. Just registered like a 4/10 on the "ha" scale. Explaining a 4 makes it like a 2.
