Despite the vast amount of knowledge we have about our world, there are always some pockets of ignorance. Humans love a good story, but some of us start to create narratives about the unknown that are frankly, fantastical. 

Someone asked “What’s the weirdest/craziest conspiracy theory you have heard of?” and netizens shared the most bizarre things someone had told them. We also got in touch with Accomplished-Leg-991 who made the initial post. So prepare your tinfoil hat, make sure you aren’t on a 5G network, and attune your crystals before you scroll through.

I was told by a Baptist minister that the Bible says jazz music is Satan's music. I thought jazz was not even a thing until the early 1900's. How could it be mentioned in the Bible?

I used to work with a guy that said dinosaurs lived below ground. I asked him why he thought that and he said it's because that's where their bones are. I kid you not.

This is true. I was taught this as a kid by religious fanatics. They needed a way to explain why the earth is only 6,000 years old. When asked about dinosaur bones, the answer was Satan placed them on earth.

    People have all kinds of outlandish "theories" about undocumented people. First off, you have to be a legal American citizen for 5 years to be able to get SNAP, or cash assistance. I had someone tell me "illegal immigrants get $6,000 a month from the government". No, no they don't. Again, even if you are a citizen, not a green card holder, you have to wait 5 years to get benefits!

    Exactly. I worked for social services for several years--doing SNAP interviews was my job. I tried to explain this to someone once, & was brushed off with "you just say that because you work for the system." Well YES, that's how I know what I'm talking about!

    Bored Panda got in touch with the fantastically named Accomplished-Leg-991 who posed the initial question to internet users and they were kind enough to answer some of our questions. Naturally, we were curious to hear why they decided to query the internet about the strangest conspiracy theories people have had the (misfortune) of hearing. 

    “I was prompted to ask the question after seeing a “conspiracy iceberg” full of dark and also weird conspiracies,” they shared with Bored Panda. Interestingly, the “slippery slope” that gets people into conspiracy theories as true believers seems to also generate interest in the more niche variants.

The cliff notes version is that to get green grass, you need pesticides, pesticides cause cancer, cancer is good business for drug companies. It was like a 20 minute long rant to get to that conclusion and it was an adventure.

    30 Conspiracy Theories That Some People Actually Believe Despite How Ridiculous They Sound Covid was not a virus, it was actually the result of the Catholic church lacing the world's water supply with King Cobra venom in order to genetically transform the world's populace into snake-human-demon hybrids, thus preventing them from going to heaven. This was all because the scientific name of the King Cobra and a piece of a bishop's miter contain the word "corona". The person who presented this theory apparently had no idea that corona just means crown in latin, he was presumably too busy being contacted by God through fortune cookies he got from a chinese restaurant.

    30 Conspiracy Theories That Some People Actually Believe Despite How Ridiculous They Sound I have to say the one about politicians drinking infant blood in the basements of pizza parlors in order to get adrenochrome is a pretty crazy one. Because the only way to get adrenochrome is through vampiric acts since chemistry isn’t a thing

    These really have shocked me. Due to their immense lack of making any sense whatsoever. It's not even that there's no proof, it's not that there's a huge pile of evidence against it, but that it just doesn't make any sense. Adrenochrome has none of the advertised effects, there's not even a weak theory full of brave and daring assumptions that supports their claimery, but nothing at all. There are excerpts from novels depicting the cooking of magic potions that make more sense ... attempting to do what any evil stepmother does in a fairy tale, at the very least, has a better outlook on success than any of this. Xavier Naidoo, a singer kind of known in germany, tried to revoke his support for Q and related systematic stupidities. If he's honest, this is a prime example of the saddest lack of symmetry in the entire regard of conspiracy theories - nobody listens. Stating even the wildliest-unbelievable stuff usually has much more range than correcting it, even in the most publicitable way imaginable.

    I'm coming to the notion that Q-Anon itself is central to conspiracies: by adding insane elements to real problems, those real problems are discredited as ridiculous. There is an insane amount of child trafficking among the rich and powerful, especially politicians in the U.S. The pizza parlor stuff comes from leaked e-mails with bizarre behavior involving a pizza parlor with child-trafficking code all over it. Nothing had anything to do with basements (make it easily disprovable) or vampirism (make it absurd).

    30 Conspiracy Theories That Some People Actually Believe Despite How Ridiculous They Sound Some nutjobs have convinced themselves that every celebrity is trans. They point out all kinds of physical attributes that "prove it" like "masculine jawline" and "male eyes", or "too small hips that a woman wouldn't be able to birth through, must be a man". One bikini pic of Taylor Swift shows a bit pronounced pubic mound, and the conspiracy nutters never having seen a natural naked woman went "Yup must be a penis" It's called Transvestigation if you're interested.

If you wave at one you get a pot-hole of your own to play with. I took mine home and now I need some cones to put by it. Right now I've stored it in a paper bag.

    You know how sometimes you have that friend that you have known forever that you wonder if you would be friends with them if you met them today? My best friend since I was 12 honestly believes in vaccine implants and that there is an actual button that some Illuminati type overlords will push and wipe out a large part of the population. He sends me quack doctor info on how to rid yourself of the vaccine by using shít like mushroom and pineapple extracts. Bat shít nuts. I quickly change the subject. But he is a good person and would take a bullet for me. We consider each other in each others family. We have been through so much and I really love the guy.

    30 Conspiracy Theories That Some People Actually Believe Despite How Ridiculous They Sound A very strange conspiracy theory I've heard about is the story of the "Lizardpeople" or "reptilians". According to this theory, high-ranking political leaders and celebrities are actually hidden humanoid reptilians who control the world. They are supposed to be able to change their form and aim to manipulate humanity. It sounds like the script of a science fiction movie, but there are people who really believe it. Well, sometimes people's imagination knows no bounds!

    Rats do that all the time. Back, when internal combustion engines were running pretty slow anyway, the standard ignition system was a little rat cage attached to the cylinder head, connected to the combustion chamber by a channel that is closed by a little flap that opens at the right time so the rat can ignite the mixture. For longer travel, you usually had a cage full of spare rats with you.

    This one always gets to me because how illogical it is. It's so ineffective. Dropping that high, you would never hit your targets. The winds are unpredictable, and could push chemicals far from the target. And the dispersion would be so wide, it would be ineffective. There is a reason why cropdusters fly so low.

    Still, this should be investigated when so many crops have heavy metals on them after the chemtrails appeared. And how do you think China kept the air clean and dry during the olympics? I am not entirely convinced that this is a conspiracy because gouvernments do lots of things without our knowledge. The difference between contrails and chemtrails is very visible in areas with lots of air traffic. And it would make sense in controlling global warming to block out some of the sunlight.

    30 Conspiracy Theories That Some People Actually Believe Despite How Ridiculous They Sound My friend and his dad are big Conspiracy theorists. They listened to Alex Jones every day and believed him too. A couple of years ago it was on the news that some Navy Seals and the PD Swat were going to do a joint training exercise. Those 2 were convinced that it was all a ruse and that they were going to try and take over the city. So that day they didn't open their business and stayed home and armed themselves with every weapon they had and waited for an "attack"

    30 Conspiracy Theories That Some People Actually Believe Despite How Ridiculous They Sound Met a dude at the gym that believed that the CIA had built tunnels throughout the Earth's core, connecting all the major cities. Was some kind of global takeover scheme.

    In myhometown of Elizabethtown Pennsylvania there is a restuarant in a building that predates the 1800s... I dated one of the owners for years, and saw with my own eyes the access tunnel that they sealed off, that allegedly led to the "underground rail.road...." Whats crazier is thats the same town the holds name to teh WORLD HQs of the Masonic Order... and the tunnels run out to there too. The International Airport is a few minutes away, one town over. A friend of mine works at the Penn State Harrisburg Campus across the street from said Internatiojnal airport, and this individual has been in these tunnels, hence the confirmation. They lead to the etown restaurant, and further stretch into the town after that, BUBES Brewery, in Mt Joy, which actually utilizes its Catacombs "conspiracy theory" underground for events and special dinner parties.... The Truth is often far crazier than what people would want to believe.....

    What baffles me in most conspiracy theories is how they need to present "the enemy" (whoever it might be) as insanely overpowered, with technology levels that could basically turn the planet into dust in a snap. That makes the "aware" believers subsequently look very brave when they expose the conspiracy, of course, like David against Goliath.

    Partially related interlude: chickens are f**king cruel. It’s starts at the top: the pride of every flock is the rooster. He’s the protector and depending on how long he’s been rooster, often father of most of the flock. The rooster is a terrible caricature of the modern man; all he does is sleep, eat, steal food, rape the hens, and watch football (give it take that last one). But there’s no safety in hens either. They will dismember a rival, claw off her face, and literally kill her and SOMETIMES JER CHICKS AS WELL. They also chose a ‘scapegoat’ who they will blame and subsequently abuse if anything goes wrong. My family used to have chickens, we had three entirely separate flocks , and they were all evil creatures .

    So I live in Alabama. The more rural you get where the farms and farm animals are, the more trump supporters you see. In the city, it is less. I deliver mail. When I am on a rural route the chickens and trump supporters go hand in hand.. in the city limits, well it's a little less.so I guess I can see the correlation. Chickens (rural area) mean more trump supporters in their big farm trucks and trump supporters=conspiracy theories so in a round about way, chickens=conspiracy theories..

    It's actually frightening. Conspiracy theorists are the kind of people who believe the rants of people like Herr Trump, and if they ever get the power, they WILL copy the horrors of the past. Americans keep saying "it can't happen here," or "The Constitution won't let it happen." Now THAT is a really stupid thing to say. It can happen. It just might happen, and your constitution won't be worth the paper it's written on when they're all finished with you.

    30 Conspiracy Theories That Some People Actually Believe Despite How Ridiculous They Sound Conspiracy 58. Basically, a conspiracy that the World Cup from 1958 never happened in Sweden as it was broadcast and it was a CIA psy-op. The conspiracy is documented in a movie *Conspiracy 58,* which makes a very compelling case - until at the every end of the credits, were it claims to be a work of fiction (but the text only in Swedish). People legitimately believe this theory now.

What makes Scientology bad is cruel punishments that might include slavery, people disappearing, and attacking people. It’s not psychological techniques.

    30 Conspiracy Theories That Some People Actually Believe Despite How Ridiculous They Sound The uss Philadelphia experiment and the us army soldier who claimed he was in an interdimensional waiting room as a greeter for eternity until he was suddenly transported back onto the ship. People claimed it was a cloaking device gone wrong and left mena bodies trapped within the steel of the boat upon reentry. I never looked into it but read about it in a book that had the name like "Nothing in this book is true but it's exactly the way things are" or something similar. Always thought it was the wildest conspiracy theory ever when I was a stoned teenager reading it.
