I would not put any stock in anything Thunderfoot claims, he's a grifter and makes profoundly dumb arguments.

Source is biased obviously, but contains many, many references: https://skepchick.org/2025/01/thunderf00t-is-still-an-ignorant-loser/

Nah, he was right then and is still right. The anti feminism thing was a weird tangent that a lot of the skeptic channels did go down for a while. Then a lot of them continued down that road and became alt right. Thunderf00t did not.

Remember that a person can be a dick and still be correct.

I did find his rant about feminism to be annoying and over the top, but when it comes to science, like it or not, he has plenty of credentials.

But since you dismiss him so easily, please tell me what he is wrong about with regards to water from air tech.
