Dark matter is Dyson spheres. All arguments against this quickly fall apart under the slightest bit of scrutiny.

so you're saying that there are stars right in front of us, but we can see them because of dyson sphere
and there stars and spheres compose the other 95% matter in the universe?

Actually, I thnk the argument you presented ironically is a pretty good argument against your statement.

We have, but we're surrounded by genuine idiots that believe this same kind of nonsense, both in real life and online.

Given Poe's law, what makes you so certain you're actually surrounded by people who believe such things online?
And on 4chan specifically, where a few people can easily pretend to be many people, what makes you sure that you're even surrounded by them?
When we had two Flat Earth threads a day, did you seriously think that the Flat Earth Society had suddenly stumbled upon 4chan and decided "Yes, this science board is an excellent place to educate others of our views"?

Well it's good to know that there is more than five times as much matter locked up in Dyson spheres than there is freely observable matter in the universe.
Also good to know these Dyson spheres effortlessly pass through both regular matter and each other to form huge swirling haloes around every single galaxy, and that every one is so well constructed they can vent the excess energy of an entire star without giving off heat or disturbing the interstellar medium in any way, while also causing the correct amount of gravitational lensing but not blocking light from the other side of them. Truly marvels of engineering.

just imagine that for each star you can see in the sky, there are 5 others that you can't see

Then why isn't it glowing?
