Most people don't know what airplanes really look like or what lights they have on them. To most people, any flying object is unidentified and any aerial phenomenon is unexplained. We use pennies more regularly than we see airplanes, but how many can pick the right penny from this lineup? https://human-factors.arc.nasa.gov/groups/cognition/tutorial...

It gets easier to believe when supposed trustworthy sources: news outlets, the government as a whole and even specific senators/ex governors, fan the flames of conspiracy instead of common sense.

i have not used a penny in at least 5 years, i see planes on the daily - but get your point.

pennies are useless junk, straight to the recycling bin for me. really epitomizes our dysfunction that we are unable to stop making them

I have to keep making pennies to replace the ones you're throwing away! Don't destroy currency!

I put mine in baggies and use them as weights

[whimsicalism]

dealing with them in any other way is literally not economical to me if it takes more than like a quarter of a second of time.

A quarter of a second or a bit of a second ain't worth a dime.
