Moved in the mid 1970s... maybe it was part of a British response to our 1976 bicentennial of our independence.

Maybe it has been mooning us all this time and we just didn’t notice.

[BenLurkin]

Possible that.

Skynet just testing for the coming apocalypse.

[umbagi]

Exactly. SkyNet has become sentient.

I bet Musk did it. It was part of his plot to steal the 2024 election from Harris. He used the UK satellite to delete the millions of votes from voters who cast ballots in 2020 but not 2024.

Hey! I’m just repeating things I’ve seen on social media.

There are many liberals (mainly women) who are convinced Trump stole the election via Elon Musk’s Starlink and Musk and Trump are going to be arrested any day now.

No, silly. The old UK satellite was moved over the U.S. so Hillary could hide her emails on it while Brian Williams helped Hillary dodge sniper fire in Bosnia to save us from Y2K.
