I remember running SETI@home for ages, then transitioning to Einstein@home to help LIGO chunk through the ELIGO data. I also remember BOINC was a buggy piece of shit

Of all the current US conspiracy theories, the UFO/UAP conspiracy is still the most interesting and fully developed/ongoing conspiracy space. Just check out the recent 'Age of Disclosure' documentary from this year. I'm not arguing a position on the theory, just saying it's very active and has the old-school qualities that were present in the 90's.
There's some genuinely weird shit unexplained, I'll give you that. Unlike Bigfoot, where you can look at a map of the historical range of bears and see it exactly matches where all the Bigfoot sightings are.

Just to go off of this.. I'm not saying it was aliens.... but it was aliens.

Well it led to the creation of BOINC, a distributed computing system that probably has led to scientific advances in other fields So I wouldn’t say it was all for nothing, but it’s main benefit was the idea, and not the results it generated
> system that probably has led to scientific advances in other fields Did it though?
Wikipedia has a table for how many papers each project produced:

According to this, Rosetta@home (which is like Folding@home that runs on BOINC) produced 234 papers.

#144There's the YouTube guy who searched for aliens instead of mining bitcoin in 2011. He'll probably (not) kms after seeing SETI went into hibernation.

There are some outliers (like Hawaii, or the 2 sightings in my local forest preserve) which cannot be bears, but what you will find is there is way more bear populations wandering around than you realize. The trend is pretty clear.
People claim to see these things in Australia and New Zealand. Not many bears round there. I don't count koalas in Oz as bears.
You forget about drop bears
