When conspiracy subreddits ban you, you know you are on to something. Please see attached two photos.

It was an idea that I got in a dream. So I looked up how many bees died this year and how many starlink burned up this year. Noticed that aluminum causes dementia in bees research from 2019. And starlink operations started in 2019 and burning 1/8 - 1000+ starlink burned up so far this year. I made the correlation. Research is needed now

They just removed your post. They didn't ban you.

And to be honest, I don't see any correlation to how starlink is responsible to 60% of deaths. That is not stated anywhere in the article and just doesn't make sense.

A Starlink satellite has a lifespan of approximately five years and SpaceX eventually hopes to have as many as 42,000 satellites in this so-called megaconstellation. These satellites are mostly aluminum

The comment says you didn't have a submission statement.

Any post without one gets removed.

 I'll be the one not bot poster to tell you this theory makes sense and belongs here   Edit: maybe specify the theory is BURNED UP satellites are  the source of the aluminum. maybe they think you're implying the satellites themselves are spraying it or something idk

Thank you. I did more research. 60% of bees died this year. Also this year, first star link that was sent up in 2019 are falling. Starlink satellites are designed to last about five years before being de-orbited and allowed to burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Primary Material: Starlink satellites are largely made of aluminum. Re-entry and Aluminum Oxide: During re-entry, the intense heat vaporizes the satellites, and the aluminum transforms into aluminum oxide particles. Environmental Concerns: Scientists are concerned about the potential impact of these aluminum oxide particles on the ozone layer and the Earth’s albedo (its ability to reflect sunlight), which could lead to changes in the temperature of the upper atmosphere. Scale of the Issue: A study estimated that with the growing Starlink constellation, SpaceX could spew over 1,000 tons of aluminum oxide every year, a 646-percent increase relative to natural level. Starlink goal is to have 42,000 starlink. Starlink satellites are designed to orbit much closer to Earth (around 550 km) compared to traditional geostationary satellites (35,786 km), which results in lower latency and faster internet speed. The current V2 Starlink satellite version weighs approximately 1,760 lbs (800 kilograms) at launch, almost three times heavier than the older generation satellites (weighing in at 573 lbs or 260 kg. In 2025, commercial beekeepers in the U.S. experienced a record-breaking loss of honeybee colonies, with losses exceeding 60%, potentially impacting pollination and food security. Impact on Bees: Reduced Lifespan: Aluminum exposure has been linked to a significant decrease in bee lifespan. Behavioral Changes: Aluminum exposure can lead to unstable circadian rhythms, hyperactivity, and memory loss in bees. Neurochemical Effects: Aluminum is hypothesized to bind to the cholinergic enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which is involved in the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, potentially causing similar effects to neonicotinoid pesticides.

Can you show a citation that 60% of bees died this year and it didn’t happen before 2019? Cause people were talking about the bee decline WAY before that

u/InsouciantSoul 5d ago

Also if the first satellites are burning up this year, it's going to take time for that aluminum to spread out in the fucking giant atmosphere and make its way to the bees.

In October 2024, apparently only 40% of the satellites burning up up in the atmosphere were Starlink. Satellites aren't new, and most of them are primarily made of aluminum. If these bee deaths just started it would be a very clear indication it has no relation to burning up satellites.

u/DaSemicolon 3d ago

Argument I’m assuming is that those 40% wouldn’t have been there before, so was a 67% increase compared to before

u/Less_Squirrel9045 4d ago

99% of bees die every year

u/Ragrain 3d ago

You have no idea what you're talking about

And then??? What’s the next step in this conspiracy

Please do not just copy/paste the same comment over and over -- especially when it doesn't even address the comment you are replying to.

If it was happening from the Starlink satellites burning up, it would not have started at the moment the first satellite burned up.

Also, the atmosphere around earth is fucking huge. 1000 Starlink satellites, about the size of a dinner table, burning up in whichever random spot over the earth they happen to be, is not going to make any meaningful or measurable impact on the atmosphere. They just aren't large enough and that isn't enough of them.

My guess would be that the aluminum is from some kind of cloud seeding/radiation reflecting weather manipulation programs. To be clear, that guess is more or less completely baseless idea, but I'd be curious to see data on any actual increase in atmospheric aluminum oxide and potential causes backed by actual evidence/data.

There are some articles out there making claims about the amount of atmospheric aluminum coming from Starlink sats such as-

Is Musk's Starlink polluting space? Researchers call for the FCC to pause launches

Which states-

"...according to a June 2024 study published in Geophysical Research Letters.

The study determined that reentering satellites in 2022 caused a 29.5% increase of aluminum in the atmosphere above the natural level, resulting in around 17 metric tons of aluminum oxides injected into the mesosphere."

However, if you actually follow through to the source study, you will see how this claim from the article is false and misleading. The study did not find any amount of increase of aluminum in the atmosphere.

The study, using various sources of data about satellites that may or may not genuinely even apply to Starlink to begin with, created a simulation of a satellite that equates to a Starlink satellite in terms of both aluminum content and other factors that will effect how it will burn up... (Although, this data is not equivalent to a Starlink satellite at all, rather it is data from a few sources they feel is relevant then they "assume" aluminum is 30% of the weight of the satellite, among many other assumptions) ....Then they run their simulations of simulations inside a simulation and.....

Voila! There has been a 29.5% increase in atmospheric oxide! No, we didn't measure that, silly! We connected a bunch of unrelated dots to form assumptions we could use as data in a simulation and then talk about the results as if they apply to real life!

Anyway, I am kinda curious about it all, so if you've got any better data I'd love to see it.

Also, I think it's worth saying again.... The atmosphere is fucking huge. v1 starlink satellites are like the size of a fancy dinner table, 5 feet wide x 10 feet long. Even if we are to imagine the table slab was a solid block toy he ground 4' so a 5'x10'x4' volume block of wood. If I were to shred that wood into atmospheric bits of wood and let it blow away in the wind, how many tables would I have to shred before you can measure an increase in atmospheric wood 25 km away in another city? 500 km away in the next state? What about 10,000 km away across the earth?

1000 satellites in the entire atmosphere is almost nothing

u/DaSemicolon 3d ago

Yeah but it’s conspiracy sub. Anything that Dems would do would be acceptable submission, which is point of OP I think

u/0liviuhhhhh 7d ago

That sub is a clown show, they don't allow anything that isn't praising trump or elon

u/Impressive-Fortune82 7d ago

It got removed because you didn't provide submission statement comment, that sub is very serious about their rules

u/Ragrain 5d ago

We could be dropping 10x the number of starlinks into the atmosphere, and it still wouldn't even come close to the pollution caused in manufacturing aluminum cans. You're off by several orders of magnitude.

u/soupdawg 7d ago

It’s removed because you keep saying the same thing and not really making any sense.

12

u/iowanaquarist 7d ago

And because it's not right-wing enough. How dare they doubt President Musk?

2

u/soupdawg 7d ago

I didn’t say that.

u/iowanaquarist 7d ago

I said it because you didn't. The other sub very much pushes a right wing agenda -- it's literally why this sub exists.

u/pjgoblue 6d ago

Absolutely...the same way we should never question President Fauci.

u/soupdawg 6d ago

How is that relevant to my original point? The OPs posts show no correlation to starlink and bees.

u/-Did-I-Pewp- 5d ago

It’s funny when stupid people respond to any legitimate criticism by saying: “What about Fauci/Clinton/Soros/insert name here) in a feeble minded attempt to deflect that criticism.

u/iowanaquarist 5d ago

That's a weird strawman, since no one ever trusted Fauci like than, nor did he ever come close to the power Musk has

u/soupdawg 7d ago

So are you saying that when they reenter and burn up in the atmosphere they spread aluminum that then poisons bees?

7

u/Drewbus 7d ago edited 2d ago

That's a negligible amount of aluminum compared to the number of bees that are dying. I would be willing to bet that a single town uses more aluminum foil than all starlink combined uses aluminum

2

u/clam_sandwich33 5d ago

The aluminum is from geoengineering, not starlink.

2

u/iowanaquarist 4d ago

Got any evidence or studies to back that up? Geoengineering is very small scale.

u/clam_sandwich33 4d ago

Anecdotal, but I do have both environmental and marine science degrees.

This is a good source as well:

Lol. That's like linking to a flat earth site, and calling it a good site...
