When Disney released their animated movie based on Hans Christian Andersen's tale of The Ice Queen, they named it "Frozen" to redirect online searches away from information about Walt Disney himself being cryogenically frozen.

Load More Replies...Favourite? Not sure how one could have a single favourite, they're nearly all so laughable, but I do particularly like any of them that would involve thousands of people "in the know" and/or multiple governments to be acting together to conceal something, like area 51 or the faked moon landings. Or indeed "Sept 11th was faked" where literally millions of people witnessed the events they're claiming were not real.

also that it is that specific, some arb pizza joint in america. I mean if you are going to have an evil cabal meeting, at least do it at a masonic lodge or something equally dramatic.
Load More Replies...Yes. That's an argument I use a lot. I've worked for the Gov't in several functions and I've witnessed how difficult it is for them to get ANYTHING organized/ done. Completely impossible that they would be able to coordinate this level of coverups.

Load More Replies...Your Government and Politicians care about you.
I actually believe that our government mostly IS trying to do something for the people, or the nation. But I live in Europe.
This statement should be chiseled in stone. It's a well-known fact that our government is just eaten up with concern for the people and our country. Look at the laws they pass! The only thing politicians care about is the money that rolls into their pockets from the lobbyists. That's why so many of the old farts stay in power whenever possible. There should be an age limit for those senile old fools as well as term limits.
This isn't really a conspiracy. You're talking about the acts of individuals looking out for their own self interest. They aren't working together, in any real capacity. In my experience though, most people who run for office genuinely want to help people. I have known many state and local office holders, and they are all good people, who quickly become frustrated and jaded by the impediments to actually accomplishing anything. Then, yes, there are those people who run for office simply because they want to have power (we are currently fighting one of those right now in my county). As you get higher up the ladder, the balance tends to shift to more of the power hungry folks. But that's simply because in order to get that far, you have to play nasty and be able to raise huge sums of cash. And very few people can and will do that. If you were to go to a country with a better managed electoral system, one where there is less money in politics, things get better fast.
Isn't this the opposite of a conspiracy theory? It's something the government tells you that isn't true. In a conspiracy theory that would be the cover-up, not the theory.
Someone once told me they didn't believe in gravity... Just try to get your heads round that...
so s**t just goes downwards towards the earth because... it wants to? because it is actually flying? what then?
I remember someone approaching my friend and I with this claim, once. My friend promptly shoved him to the ground. When the other guy asked him why he did that, my friend replied with "I didn't do that, gravity did".
Load More Replies...There's a guy who insists that gravity is not an attractive force, but a repellent one. And somehow the mass of the earth BLOCKS this repellent force so we don't get flung off into space. I don't get it, either.
Gravity is a law, but it's also only a theory. The fact that objects attract, and that the attraction is inverse to the square of the distance is newton's law of gravitation. But how it works (General Relativity) is a theory. It's an interesting distinction, and one with no practical differences, so I'll shut up now
Load More Replies...We don’t fully understand gravity. Some need to fully comprehend to believe so…

Okay, here is another one that I like: There are people who claim that the state of Montana doesn't exist. Anyone claiming to be from Montana or to have visited Montana is lying and in on the conspiracy. What we think of as Montana is really just extensions of North and South Dakota (whose existence is also dubious at best). This ranks up there with the "Birds are actually fake, government spying drones" in the conspiracy books.
I haven't the foggiest clue. It's just a weird conspiracy thing that bounces around.

I've got a local one from my area: The Gosford Glyphs(though it has made it onto the internet, so let me know if you've heard of them) . There are a bunch of "hieroglyphs" carved into the sandstone out in the bush up the road from my house. People actually believe ancient Egyptians sailed their reed boat all the way from Egypt around the midfle east, India, China, Philippines, Indonesia half of Australia and finally landed 70km north of Sydney. Furthermore a National Parks ranger caught a guy in the 60s carving them. If you look at them there are dogs with bones, penis, and other silly ones. They even got an egyptologist to decipher the hieroglyphics and it was determined that they're gibberish and poorly executed. In saying that they do look cool and it's a nice walk out to them. You go past the Grandmother Tree which is probably the biggest redgum left on the Coast
I took my Horticulture class out today to see it, I told the Angophora Dreaming story
Load More Replies...Haha I know right, theres this whole sub culture of hippies that believe it. the funny thing is there are legitimate Aboriginal carvings littered throughout that bush that predate Ancient Egypt by about 15,000 years but they ignore those
Load More Replies...FWIW, the peoples of Madagascar are Peloponnesian. So somebody sailed in boats from the Pacific ocean, across the Indian ocean and settled on an island off the coast of Africa hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago.
I'm not saying it's impossible that ancient Egyptians came to Australia, just highly unlikely. When did they arrive in Madagascar? Hundreds of years ago the boats were sea worthy and thousands (depending on how long) the sea levels were lower and it required less sailing between landmass Aboriginal People originally came down through Indonesia but the sea levels were lower 60,000yrs ago

Load More Replies...Aliens are real and you cannot tell me otherwise :)
I agree. The universe is way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way too big for us to be the only planet that can support life. Plus, scientists have already discovered exo planets that look a lot like Earth. They even have plant life on them. Nothing at all could convince me there aren't animals there
When did we discover plant life? It is probable that some planets have plants because of their atmosphere, it’s not confirmed yet because there’s many other ways to add certain gases to the atmosphere.
Load More Replies...I definitely believe they are out there; I don’t know about the visiting us part.
imo the surest sign there IS intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos is that none of it has come anywhere near us.
As a 'conspiracy theory' this one requires not only that life has existed elsewhere in the universe, but that it's evolved almost in parallel, time-wise, with us to a particular level of intelligence to invent space travel, visit the earth witnessed only by a scattering of people mostly in the US and that then various government agencies have then managed to hide any credible evidence of it. The further along that line you go the more vanishingly small become the chances that it's actually happened.
I 100%. believe in alien life in some form but I’m not convinced there is “intelligent” alien life, at least not to the level of human intelligence.
That one where the CIA disposed the democratically elected leader because fruit companies were lost land...oh, that happened (Guatemala, PBSUCCESS) How about, The one where the CIA tried to use LSD for mind control. No wait, that's a thing too. (MKULTRA). Okay, then when the CIA trafficked crack cocaine from Nicaragua and Columbia for distribution in low income urban areas and...oh, no. that's a real thing too. (Allegedly. the Contras, U.S. backed right-wing rebel groups in both countries, definitely trafficked drugs, but the CIA lead probe found no link between the CIA and drug trafficking. Okay we have a winner)
Yeah but some of these are confessed already, specifically mkultra and the fruit company thing... so ... yes, now you know why most of the world doesn't like usa very much.
The CIA also funded a number of coups in democratic countries, in order to install friendly right-wing dictators who would suppress the wages of the local population. This made it easier and cheaper for American factories to outsource workers to these countries and lower the cost of production. This had the double effect of increasing company profits, and also hurting the American labor movement (specifically Unions), which the CIA had long been trying to defeat. Unions are communism after all. It also lead to tens of thousands of people being killed in the name of American enterprise.

Load More Replies...It's my favorite because it's so ludicrous. The One Electron theory states that there is only one electron in the entire universe. It travels so fast that it goes backward in time, therefore being able to exist everywhere at once. The best part: technically, we can't disprove it, due to the unobservable nature of electrons and shaky understanding of space-time.
Not a conspiracy theory though. There's no Big Electron pushing the alternative narrative. It's just a thought Richard Feynman had (and as I understand it he wasn't altogether serious about it).
My neighbor believes in several like the jewish lightening that caused wildfires. She has bought a generator and all kinds of wilderness items in case Snake Pliskin pushes the button.

If you're not familiar, the legend goes that some shady, Men In Black government entity set up cabinets of a mind controlling/altering game called Polybius. It appeared over night in some arcades in Portland, Oregon. The cabinet was jet black, save for the name of the title in block letters on the marquee. Players would report having seizures, mental breakdowns, insomnia, hallucinations, you name it! After a few months it disappeared from the arcades, with all arcade owners and workers swearing it never existed.
It is really fun creepy pasta.

I don’t believe in this one but I think it’s super funny and that’s why it’s my favorite (also the fact it’s been disproven). The lock Ness monster. It was disproven to be just a piece of driftwood. (I did punctuation and grammar go away grammarly people)
There are many theories about what it was or was not, but driftwood is new to me.
The most famous photo of the Loch Ness monster has been proven to just be a large chunk of driftwood, but there are many who believe that there are a species of previously unknown dinosaurs leaving in deep water caverns under the loch. Nessy is actually multiple generations of these dinosaurs, which explains why there have been sightings for hundreds of years.
I don't believe in the Loch Ness monster, but I also don't believe that we know all other creatures on this planet.
I never really find it implausible that there are paleo creatures still going around. Google "hobbit indonesia" for more.
Probably, we’re living in a computer simulation. If it’s true, then the being who’s controlling me, isn’t the best with tech/gaming
I love to think the "1951 Pont-Saint-Esprit mass poisoning" was an actual giant LSD test conducted by the CIA. I don't believe it 100% but it wouldn't surprise me.

Load More Replies...For me conspiracies are about (a) explanatory mechanism (b) payoff (c) number of people required to carry out. Hence: If there's no payoff, I reject the conspiracy. If the explanatory mechanism is too far-fetched or requires too many co-conspirators, again, I reject it. So let's take two to show how it works. (1) Princess Di was unalived by her mother-in-law due to having an affair with Dodi. (a) Car accident involving 1 bad driver and a few paparazzi. (b) Payoff: ends embarrassment. (c) Number of people required (same as a). Result: seems plausible. Now let's try a different one. Covid was a weapon and intended so we can get chip injections. Requirements: (a) A bioweapon is manufactured and distributed without killing manufacturers. (b) What, that vax manufactuerers make money? or that bill gates gets to track us? for what??? (c) Several million health and telecoms workers and their respective employers. Result: ridiculous.
Every now and then, I'll pause around anti-vaxers and tell them I'm getting an update to my chip. ;)
Yep I tell them I get great 5G reception now.
Load More Replies...So the conspiracy to kill Diana was hatched by a bad driver and the paparazzi? This poster started off making sense then went mental during the examples. You'd need at least one royal, the British secret service, possibly the French secret service, and the French healthcare system (Diana was conscious and talking when the first ambulance arrived, which is why they took Dodi first).
There are conspiracies. History is full of them. Saying conspiracy theories are crazy across the board only makes people afraid to address them early because they'll be labeled as nuts, which conspirators looove. Let's say Crazy Conspiracy Theories Instead.

1) Lots of people, but not as many as you might think. We have about 360K in the US, 23.5K in the UK, France has around 410K. 2) Illuminati signs and symbols are not "everywhere", at least, the symbols you are thinking of have nothing to do with the Illuminati, they have been linked to us by conspiracy theorists but there is honestly no truth to it. You wouldn't recognise our symbols if you saw them and those that you do, you do not associate with us. 3) We do not, and have never, sought global domination or power in the sense of your meaning.

Load More Replies...I don't think I'll ever understand how some people can continue to believe in so many wild and oft times bizarre things. I believe a lot of things. I am always open to learning the facts of what I may or not believe. My mind is not set in cement. It's really sad that so many young people, old people, all people, have closed their minds.
It's crazy because people believe things that, if they were true, there would be TONS of evidence by now. Like the Loch Ness monster, if it were true, there's no way it wouldn't have been photographed to death, studied, etc, for example.
Your sentence seems to contradict itself. (a) you claim you can't understand believing wild things, (b) you claim to be open-minded. So perhaps what you mean to say is (a) I can't understand people who believe things without adequate evidence, and (b) I believe things based on adequate evidence.
How is that a contradiction? I'm not trying to be snarky, I don't understand.

Only to reappear a few years later as Alex Jones, the king of conspiracy theories. If you cant see the humor in that theory, there is no hope for you.
Never heard of Bill Hicks (who died almost 30 years ago-Wikipedia, so why should I?). Heard about the Jones creep, though. I see no humor in that. But fewer people understand my sense of humor than I wish, so there's that. Edit: my biggest beef with this is "If you cant see the humor in that theory, there is no hope for you". Even then I don't see the humor.
I think the "if you can't see the humour" part only applies to people who know about both men. If you don't know them, then it doesn't say anything about your humour.

He was forthright, and perhaps ahead of his time; but also, very funny (for those who shared his views).
Sorry I'm ancient and I'm a bit vague on Bill Hicks. I think he gets a mention on an album by Pearl Jam or something.
That the Earth is flat and that all the images of a round Earth are faked by NASA. This also requires that all of America's mortal enemies (Russia, China et al) are involved in this deception and remain fully committed to it.
I think you've captured the issue with most conspiracy theories: the conspiracy. All of them assume a large number of people and organisations can all agree to maintain a secret for decades or even centuries or millennia and it's never leaked. Regardless of the nature of the theory, the most outlandish part is that all of these people actually get along enough to maintain a deception of that scale (and that they would even want to..... Seriously, what would you gain from pretending the earth is round if it's not?)
not just that but that all planets are also discs etc., and we have no explanation then for planetary formation since accretion disk modelling shows it will form a ball...
What's crazy is the amount of work they've done to explain their theory! I went to their fb page once, and holy poop, they have an explanation for everything!!! And they sound realistic, too! Still, though, it takes a special kind of person to believe all that after all the overwhelming amount of evidence we have about something that was proven soooooooooo long ago!

Load More Replies...I do like this one, just because part of it makes perfect sense -- the "why"! Why would NASA be complicit in faking all these photographs? The funding, of course! The one about birds is pretty good, too.
The NASA thing always gets me. It's as if the Russians never went to space, or the ESA for that matter.
finding someone's location using shadows and time of date and day requires that the earth be round to work, and it works so the earth is round.
That the world is secretly turning upside down… C’mon, you know it… the seasons are slipping… they start later each year… Surely the governments of the world can no longer hide that the earth is tilting on it’s access and very soon Aussies everywhere will no longer be able to sing about “The Land Down Under” 😜
The tilt of the earth does change - but it only oscillates by about 25 degrees either way, so it won't flip over.
this sounds like a bloody dystopian book that i really want to read

Birds aren’t real
I find this one particularly intriguing because we have texts and images referencing birds going back to the most ancient humans, so to posit that they're all drones or robots is ludicrous. Although, I suppose, they were probably planted on earth millennia ago by aliens or lizard people. Silly me
In that case thankyou government for making spy drones, that sing so beautifully.

Load More Replies...I swear to God I saw a fake bird one day. My best friend and I were sitting in her living room. She told me to look out the window and tell her if I saw anything off. I looked out of the window looking all around at the view. There were birds across the street signing on a fence and on a car. One bird turned his face in our direction and I saw a flash of silver light in its eyes. It was like lightening or like mercury. Then it turned 8 its head away again I jumped up immediately and walked towards the birds to see what the heck that thing was. All the birds flew away when I was about 7 feet away. That could not have been a real bird, with eyes like that. I went back inside the house and my friend confirmed that is what she had seen too.

Mikey blew himself up with pop-rocks and coke (guess my generation).
I know, I know. It's more of an urban legend, but kids viewed it as a conspiracy against Life
Actually, Mikey DID NOT eat everything. The commercial centers on three young brothers eating breakfast. Before them sits a heaping bowl of Life breakfast cereal. Two of the brothers question each other about the cereal, prodding each other to try it, and noting that it is supposed to be healthy. Neither boy has any desire to taste it ("I'm not gonna try it—you try it!"), so they get their younger brother Mikey to do so ("Let's get Mikey"), noting that "he hates everything". Mikey briefly contemplates the bowl, then after tasting the cereal begins to eat it vigorously as the brothers exclaim, "He likes it! Hey Mikey!"
Um, I'm not being rude, but can someone tell me who Mikey is? (If I search it I'll probably get the wrong result.)

Paul McCartney is dead and the one we see right now is a "clone"
What difference would it make though? And why would anyone bother with this exercise, since no-one outside old people in Anglo countries remotely care who paul is?
I'm in an Anglo country and I don't care who Paul is either. Lol.
Load More Replies...Nope! He's 80 and seems in decent health for that age. Are you maybe thinking of George?
Load More Replies...The irony of this is that if this is true, the only Paul we know is the fake one. The real one would have died in I believe 1967. I was three years old and had no idea of who he or the rest of the Beatles were. The fake Paul, or Faul as he is known by the conspiracy theorists is the only Paul almost all of us have ever known.
And he isn't a clone. He is a near look alike with tons of musical talent
Load More Replies...We are unknowingly the pawns of aliens who have lost their home. Technology advanced so much in the last 100 years or so, because aliens came to earth and taught us how to make all of technological advances we have made. But it was not a gift. Everything we have done for the last hundred years has introduced the amount of carbon into the atmosphere that otherwise would have taken centuries. This has created climate change which will result in global warming of a few degrees by the end of this century. If we stopped pumping carbon into the atmosphere today, it will still happen, as we are now trying to limit the increase with the knowledge we can't reverse what's already been done. To us this is a byproduct of technology. But for the aliens, it has been the goal. Our planet is one they could live on and colonize, except to be ideal for them, it just needed to be a little bit warmer. We have unknowingly been terraforming our own planet for these aliens to take it away from us. This is not something I have read or have been told. It is an idea that came to me out of nowhere, which actually makes me tend to believe it is true.
Um, we are definitely in a sitcom, and yes I'm one of the main characters. the things that happen to me man.....they can't be explained. my pinterest boards explain it better than I do tbh but there are too many trippy things happening for me to NOT be some character in a tv show!

Supposedly Shakespeare said something to his wife during his dying days amongst the lines of "I will love you in the next life". So there's the theory that our present Hathaway, as well as her husband William may be reincarnations of the ye olde couple. I may not believe it, but I think it's kind of sweet.

It's true - you wouldn't know the difference. No way to disprove it.
Then how can you definitively suggest it's true if there's no way disprove it? Because if there is no way to disprove it then there's also no way to prove it right? It's like the whole Schrödinger's cat theory. And until some proof of either/or can be definitive. We could say (just by going on this theory) that our existence is both real and only a week old at the same time. But why bother looking that deep into it. Even if it is true, my memories are still mine.

For those who are wondering: Black Death, 1346-1353. "Childera" should actually be Cholera, 1817-1824. Spanish flu began in 1918; and Covid-19 was so named because it was identified in 2019. None actually began in the decade beginning with a 2.
My favourite, for personal reasons, is that all quiz shows are fixed. In earlier times, many undoubtedly were, as depicted in the film Quiz Show - and even in the UK, I remember seeing the Hughie Green vehicle Sky's the Limit, where a contestant came on and said "I'll take the thirty pounds now" before they'd even been asked a question (for younger readers - it was a bit like Millionaire, in that the prize rose after each question, with an option to stick or continue. It was shown live, hence the lack of edit). However, having been on three shows, and won one, it's fun to correct people who "know" they're fixed, when in fact I actually "know" that they're not - certainly not any of the ones I've been on.
I agree! They are known to be scripted as well as judiciously edited.

100%. It's a conspiracy theory after all. The first one is tough to verify beyond placing in a 'very likely to be true' category, due to so many weird theories about that incident, but the 7/7 one is totally verified. One coincidence is a coincidence, two is strange at minimum. (I accept that this isn't a happy/funny/silly conspiracy like not believing in cows.

Load More Replies...I'm only going off of the version I heard, so my bad if this isn't exactly accurate. Or accurate at all, for that matter. A long time ago, a traveling nobleman stopped at a town for a while, and fell in love with a beautiful woman, a local there. The two wed and had children. Some time passed, and the nobleman took off, promising his wife he'd return shortly. A few years went by, the nobleman did not return. Wife left their home with their small children in tow in search of her husband when rumors started spreading in town that he'd found a new love elsewhere. Walking alongside the river in the middle of the night, she began to rant and rave, cursing the nobleman that abandoned them to the point that she lost her senses in an unhinged rage, and threw her children into the river to drown. Horrified, she realized what she'd done. She'd jumped in the body of water to retrieve them, only to drown in the river, herself.

The moon is hollow. It is an alien space craft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Moon
No! I refuse to believe that! The Moon is made of cheese. Blue cheese. And one day I'll fly there and eat the whole thing because I love blue cheese. 🤤
Just remember, without our Moon there would be some weird and annoying things happening on Earth.
Load More Replies...Forget where this comes from now, but I either saw a movie or read a book where the moon was destroyed, but to convince people it was still there, they basically just replaced it with a big Hollywood flat of the moon and attached a gravity generator to the back so that it would appear the same on scientific instruments. Said they'd have to come up with a better explanation by the time people achieved space travel and discovered that the moon was just a 2D prop.
If it was before space travel, how did they put it up there?
Load More Replies...This is wild because it made me realise just now that I kind of thought the moon was hollow. Obviously if I'd ever stopped and thought about it I would've been like, no, it's a rock, but I've never actually considered it before, and I guess I subconsciously did think it was like a ball, with air in the middle. Wow, I'm dumb. But yeah, aliens never came into it Edit: I just looked up cross section of the moon. I had no idea it had a molten core. Am I just really dumb?

Load More Replies...I accidentally started my own conspiracy theory when I wrote a story claiming that the famous 1945 Roswell, New Mexico incident was just a government fabrication to hide the fact that the actual aliens had landed in rural Maine in 1932. Some people who read it thought I was being serious (at least about the government faking Roswell).
Really? This wikipedia article and the linked article from 1947 does not mention a Mr Bennett at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roswell_incident ...which suggests that if you did start this rumour, it means you are currently about 96 years old, since you'd have needed to be about 20 when you wrote the original article...
Nope, sorry, did not mean to imply that I had anything to do with the original Roswell incident or the theories that followed it. Mine was from a fictional story I wrote about 20 years ago, and the part about aliens crashing in Maine was kind of just a throw-away gag in a larger story about a super-spy type CIA agent. However, some readers seemed to think I was referencing an actual conspiracy theory. I am not a well known writer by any means, so I only pointed it out here to show how easily these things can get started.

Story time: I met a guy in college (fall 2013/spring 2014) who directed me to several conspiracy sites, which I checked out. some were....crazy, some were interesting. one I never got a chance to check out until the summer. it turns out there is this guy who has predicted multiple economy falls over the last 50 years. (He predicted the '08 fall.) He was predicting a massive change on a global scale somewhere around the fall of 2019, or the spring of 2020. he couldn't put an exact date on it, but something big was coming. Being in 2014 I figured those years were so far away how could he really know? fall of 2019 I was joking with a friend how I shouldn't have bought a new phone knowing the conspiracy theory I did, due to it being so close, and possibly needing extra money in my account. Then in march 2020, the lockdown hit, and I lost my job. I've never wanted a "conspiracy theory" to be wrong in my whole life. My best friend still doesn't believe me when I tell her to beware of certain "conspiracy" related ideas, but now I'm wondering, if that one came true, what else is "just a crazy conspiracy theory" is true as well???!!!
Economics are driven by governments. There has to be booms and busts to keep the population in line.
Not sure if someone said this already but my dad’s side of the fan believe the weather is influenced by the government and they choose bad weather for those who don’t pay taxes. I’m not really sure where this came from, but it’s funny. Some of these theories are just… whoa. What stuff are you ON?
Not sure if it’s much if a conspiracy theory, but lavender town syndrome. It’s basically that the original version of the lavender town theme was extremely distressing, and caused suicides. It was changed for the American release. It can be considered more of a creepy-pasta, but there are certainly people who actually believe it.
that the 1969 moon landing was faked- there's no wind in space, why is the flag flying? and there should be stars in the background, but it's all black. someone please explain
The flag isn't flying, there's a rod holding it up. Duh. Ever walked out in a major city and counted the stars? No, you can't see them, because there's too much light. Same as on the moon - the Earth's albedo is incredibly bright, plus light from the sun is unfiltered by any atmosphere.
You beat me to it, you can see the rod in the photo
Load More Replies...The stars are actually really far apart so it’s not that easy to see them. There’s also the fact that the sun is really bright. It dims out the light of other smaller stars and there’s hardly any atmosphere to filter out the light. I hope I managed to explain to you about the stars
