Well the term 'dunk' is baseball goes back to at least 1936 and may be even earlier. Slam Dunk seems to have evolved in the mid to late 60s.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79889820


The carnival game uses a baseball typically and games if the type go back about as far baseball. Just curious if the term and the various games are connected. Fudge if I know.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80914123


I think you are correct.

They are clearly related.

dunk (v.)
1919, "to dip (something) into a beverage or other liquid," American English, from Pennsylvania German dunke "to dip," from Middle High German dunken, from Old High German dunkon, thunkon "to soak," from PIE root *teng- "to soak" (see tincture). The basketball sense "jump up and push (the ball) down through the basket" is recorded by 1935 as a verb

Dunk a donut, or a person in a carnival water game, or in basketball.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79889820


Thanks for the info. Curious if the term "slam dunk" specifically originated from the carnival game before being coined for the basketball move. Growing up watching battle of the network stars, dating my self I know, they had tv stars playing the dunk carnival game and there was always the person getting frustrated and running up to slam the target rather than throwing the ball at it. Correlates with the basic idea of the basketball move. Sorry this is a bit of a tangent.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80914123


Slam Dunk was coined in the 60's, meaning a "sure thing".

That sounds about right in relation to the sport of basketball. My question was whether the basic idea was already in general parlance from the well known carnival games and was simply transposed to basketball as representing the same principle, specifically manually triggering a score rather than throwing a ball to a target. Probably not important.

Re: Moon Landing Hoax Confession
I already believed for a long time that we never went to the moon in the 60s. Just look at the level of technology they had in those days, a computer was the size of an entire room those day lol. Joe Rogan used to have great arguments on it until they either told him to stop or he changed his view.

In context to the video, everyone thought it was Kubrick who directed it, but perhaps it makes more sense for a German who was probably brought in on project paperclip to work for Wernher von Braun, who was also a Nazi brought in.

Now can they go today? Have we ever crossed the van allen belt? They say 9 Apollo missions have successfully crossed it, but have they?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35292902


That was another indicator.
In the discussion they gave about the Artemis 1 luner mission, they talked about the 2 test dummies they will put aboard and use them to measure radiation exposure through the radioactive belt.

Um, if we already send all those manned missions to the Moon, seems like you would have all the exposure data you would require by now.
 Quoting: JustmeTX


Numerous things like that when discuss "going back" like absolutely nothing meaningful was learned from the highly "successful " apollo landings. Like dealing with dust is a big one. Proponents handwave how they were able to traipse around d the moon and not contaminate every book and cranny of the crew cabin with dusty suits.

Well they are claiming the term "slam dunk" couldn't have been used for this "Operation Slam dunk" in 1969 because the term didn't exist then which proves the video is fake.

One of my friends when we were kids had a toy I think called Slam Dunk. It was just a short basketball hoop (like 6 or 7 feet high) and any idiot could dunk the ball in it. Probably was around the 1969ish time frame.

Perfect name for a program to make foolproof lunar landing videos. Imagine the national disgrace if we botched the moon landings and Russia could mock the heck out of us.

Filming it on Earth would be a slam dunk 100% guarantee of getting good moon landing action. :)

Re: Moon Landing Hoax Confession
Cool.

I believe they launched rockets and orbited the Moon, but seriously doubt they ever landed and played golf there.

Too big a technical leap at that time in my opinion to do a space docking to link up for the return journey.

The computers back then were complete shit.

And the liftoff footage from the Moon looks highly suspect.
And the LEM was too flimsy for the task. I walked up to it and looked it over when I visited Johnson Space Center somewhere around 1985 maybe?

BUt the big assed rockets taking off, flying to lunar orbit returning to Earth and splashing down, I believe that happened.

It became especially apparent when they said they destroyed all the design drawings and lost the film, and the dog ate their homework.

Right.
 Quoting: JustmeTX


They may have launched rockets that made it to the moon, but there were no humans or animals onboard. They couldn't have survived the "radiation belt". This was explained by the inventor of the rocket that supposedly went to the moon. I'm sure the video is still out there online somewhere. I will NOT search for it for you.

Also EVERY picture of the Earth taken from space or the moon has been proven to be FAKE. The sizes of the continents in comparison to the size of the Earth don't even match from picture to picture. Why no real pictures?

The supposed pictures of the astronauts and equipment on the moon is obviously fake because the shadows of the humans and equipment prove it to be fake.

The pictures of the American flag the put on the moon is obviously faked. It's blowing in the fucking wind and there's no wind on the moon.

Yes, every fucking thing we've been told since birth is a lie. This is why I don't doubt the flat Earthers...NO commercial flights cross over the Antartica, NONE. They go twice as far to avoid it. That right there alone is a huge red flag.

If you really stop and back up, take a God's Eye perspective of this issue...

Who the fuck cares if we went to the moon, or not?

We can't even agree on what the moon *IS* in the conspiracy community FFS.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78193771


No worries, I think I have seen it before.
I don't believe anything is impossible, and can't rule out a moon landing, but after having considered the situation, I don't think we landed any people on the Moon.

Maybe they landed a probe there and it rolled around a bit, but as far as I know, there was no test of the LEM landing and taking off again on Earth first. This would seem a necessary first step before doing it with people aboard 200,000+ miles from Earth. You can bet your ass I would not volunteer to be on that death trap.

And if I got my pressure suit on and stepped onto the Lunar surface, I would be walking very carefully, because loss of suit integrity would mean I would die. I would not be bounding around like a retard and singing about the merry merry month of May.

Maybe I lack the Right Stuff.

Yeah, I just think it is interesting. The claim was put forward that the neologism was coined solely within the context of basketball. Hard to say for sure with out serious research but the carnival game combining pitching baseballs and dunking a clown was around for generations. The slam dunk concept and even use of the word combination may well have been employed decades before it found usage in basketball. I just dont know for certain.

Artemis 1 will take a crap load of photos showing itself as it departs Earth.

Earth is definitely a sphere. I have given several proofs here on other threads. Vendee globe sail race tracks. You can prove it just by plotting the boat progress and possible speeds on the sailboats.

ANd if you have flown millions of miles for business, it is pretty obvious when you fly east to to half way around the world and land in China, then take off and fly east another half the way round the world and land back in the US.

Or learn the basics of navigating with a sextant. It becomes patently obvious we are on a sphere.


Flying a polar route over the North pole(ish) regions is done all the time, because most of Earth's population is in the Northern Hemisphere and it provides the best route sometimes. Also, if you landed in the Arctic, you still have a decent chance of getting rescued. There are submarines and various ships and camps doing stuff up there all the time.

Antarctica on the other hand is very very remote. If you land there, you are pretty much dead. Also, there are no great populations abutting the region like there are with the North Polar region.

They have the McMurdo base down there, and even they get socked in by weather for months on end.
