    The linked 'article' isn't even from zerohedge:

    ... but instead from two layers deeper:

    I love zerohedge. Please make yourself the primary conduit to bring all its' fantastical insights to PriusChat. While doing so, imagine your readers here are no more discerning than you are.

    I love that the pop-up that comes up over the story says "Want more of the news you won't get anywhere else?".

    I wonder why we don't get it anywhere else? Is it, perchance, because it's made-up bollocks?

    I could write "news" you won't get anywhere else too, if you like.

    I would not encourage @hkmb to write thusly. I understand he has other responsibilities. I also see that marketplace as saturated.

    Everyone thought the market for stupid was saturated, and then Newsmax and OANNanists came around and made room for themselves.

    I'm sure that prior to 2009, people thought there was no market for a website full of utter, utter bollocks, but one man, Daniel Ivandjiiski, had a dream. He knew that there was a market for a website full of utter, utter bollocks, and Zerohedge was born and thrives (sort of) to this day.

    Let us not say 'stupid' or all those other pejoratives. Let us realize existence of consumers needing comforting confirmation of what they feel must be true. That there must be dark conspiracies hiding truth.

    There are plenty such conspiracies. It would just be nice if they could focus on the real ones, rather than the ones going on in the basement of a pizza place with no basement that involve a plot to give Hillary Clinton - yes, that Hillary Clinton, the old-looking one - eternal youth.

    Ever considered what she would look like without the eternal youth?

    Hillary was good looking in younger days, like most people. Lets single her out for getting old. That’s the nice thing to do?

    I'd agree with you if that were my point.

    But my point is that she was at the core of the conspiracy theory, but she has aged in much the same way as the rest of us - better, perhaps, than me, but that's not much of an achievement - which suggests either that drinking the blood of imaginary youngsters imprisoned in the non-existent basement of a pizza restaurant is somewhat ineffective as an eternal-youth serum, or that the entire "theory" is demonstrably bollocks and even the dimmest Q-Onanist should be able to work that out.

    It's not in any way an attack on Hillary, other than singling her out as completely normal.

    Look at the menu first. Order the pizza 3/4 of the way between 9 and 10. Then you can enter the basement.

    I didn’t know the whole theory, or made up story. That’s so far out and ridiculous. Something is wrong with people making up such things. I took it wrongly.

    Honestly, the fact that someone didn't know the whole "theory" gives me a bit of hope.

    I find an egregious mismatch between theory as (mis)used by conspiracies, and that same word meaning a long step toward empirical confirmation in science.

    Y'know, science, That thing you embrace, or displace, or imagine as a domain for elites who care nothing for you. Or stronger, might use to control your life.

    Damn elites. They actually put personal effort into learning things.

    Let your minds be at ease, dear readers. While I am obviously drawn to the science side, I stand here at PriusChat to soothe. To draw all non-science conspiracy posts forth. Declare what you find compelling!

    You are our guides to Zerohedge, InfoWars, and other joyous spoutings. We'd never know of those without your efforts.
    Even so, attack dogs are here, ready to chew on your ankles for so much as posting from over yonder. Ignore them. I promise from personal experience that your ankles are safe from harm.

    PC readers are a canny lot and more juicy posts in threads like this will draw more in. Let all believe as I do that hearing even from 'way out there' is good exercise for brains.

    If we any of us only see media whose presentations resembles our thinking, our brains shrink a little bit (this I believe). If in this our happy place you read something agreeable or strongly disagreeable, you should 'brain' on that and cogently reply.

    I am still unable to understand someone repeatedly saying they won a contest when they didn’t, promising revenge when there is nothing to avenge, and he is running neck and neck to be the leader. So I get the is there any hope left statement.
