30 Conspiracy Theories That Some People Actually Believe Despite How Ridiculous They Sound
Interview With AuthorDespite 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.

Dinosaur bones were placed on earth by Satan to trick people into "abandoning" God.
I think he’s hilarious, doing all that goofy shït to irritate the “righteous.” He needs his own reality show. I’d watch!
Load More Replies...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.
It's interesting that Satan is evil, but apparently it is God who punishes people.
This. Perfect . We must fear our God.. what utter boolshitt. if he is a loving encompassing all loving God, why must anyone in their right mind fear him
Load More Replies...I also heard that dinosaur bones were really just giant beaver bones because dinosaurs didn't exist.
DAM! There must have been some big beaver impoundments back then.
Load More Replies...I've visited churches like that. I call them Satan worshipers. The believe Satan is everywhere, controls everything, is all powerful, & that is all they talk about. They rarely talk about God.
That is alot of work and really stupid. Satan has better planning than that.
Rocks are soft until touched. Dumbest, but still my favorite.
Schrödinger's Sun? At night the sun exists and doesn't exist at the same time.
Load More Replies...This is a perfect conspiracy theory. Hard to disprove and completely mental.
This system goes for everything. Walls are soft until you try walking through them
I don’t get the conspiracy, who is supposed to be causing the rocks to be soft until touched? What is the agenda &/or end game?
My mother believes that it’s so difficult to get appointments with doctors is because illegal immigrants are taking all the appointments. I laughed until I realized she was serious.
Our immigrants are probably better insured than the average American.
Load More Replies...Well here in Germany even politicians are pushing that nonsense. Fact is, without immigrant we wouldn't have doctors in the first place.
I take your job AND your appointments *laughs in the waiting room*
I'd rather have the immigrants that want to work over the MAGA cultists that contribute nothing to society. 95% of the U.S. food is produced by migrants. America would starve with migrants.
Load More Replies...God, right wingers frustrate me. There are so many ACTUAL ways we’re getting screwed over but it’s no fun if there isn’t someone to punch down on, apparently.
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!
Load More Replies...Are those the immigrants that take all our jobs and therefore have good health benefits or those that live off social welfare and therefore have good health benefits? I can never tell them apart.
Oldest BS trick in the book and has been around for thousands of years. All of your problems are caused by 'foreigners' and I'm the only one who can fix it...
Since most of US Americans are illegal immigrants since the XVIth century, she is not wrong
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.
Truck driver that delivered my flooring gave me this gem: The push for green lawns in the US is by Big Pharma.
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.
(Slippery) Floors was invented by Big Cast, for you to break bones... /jk
... big band-aid invented knives ... sharp ones, dull ones, all the inbetween somes, ... they also seem to have my cat in on their stuff, or maybe it was because I had to wash her paws yesterday that she used her hole-punch devices on me ... whatever, she certainly gets paid pretty well, for she leads a life of luxury, lazy on a sunny afternoon, ...
Load More Replies...There is a conspiracy to the America obsession with lawn though, it’s just that the lawn care industry sold us something we didn’t need and didn’t want until their marketing convinced us it was our God-given right.
... if people don't want something, make having it their right, not privilege, not option, but their right, and they seem to flock around it trying to execute their right. To own lawn, to law Owls, whatever, don't matter...
Load More Replies...They were invented as a status symbol of wealth. It meant you owned land that could just have laying around and not produce anything from it.
Well, this isn't wrong! There's NO profits in cures and big pharma has (and IS) causing many different kinds of illness. Do some research into the facts...
That Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen, and they made the movie Frozen so that when people googled "Walt Disney Frozen" the movie would come up first.
This one I believe. Same thing with ‘Disney on ice’ and their new movie, “Disney Cryogenically Preserved?” About a man pretending to be a frozen caveman
too bad it wasn't called Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. I would watch that but only if it Was Phil Hartman.
Load More Replies...I could actually see the second part being true lol, regardless if it is true or not if Walt Disney Frozen is getting googled why not get some advertising out of it
Load More Replies...Ted Williams was cryogenically frozen in 2004. Red Sox won the World Series that year, ending the most legendary curse in sports history. I'm going to baselessly assert that his body was sacrificed to break the curse.
Workers at DisneyLand point with 2 fingers, because that's how Walt points in all statues and pictures (now that they have removed the cigarette from between his fingers)
It's "cryonically", not "cryogenically": https://www.cryogenicsociety.org/cryonics#:~:text=It's%20cryonics%2C%20and%20cryonics%20is,later%20brought%20back%20to%20life.
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.
I am sure David Icke is writing a huge boring book on this as we speak
This sounds like one of those 3 o'clock in the morning, *deeply inhales* "I've got a good one..." type of story. Followed by eating everything in the house.
Another COVID19 theory I heard was that it must be man made because it was GIVEN A NAME!!! What the foozle, all diseases are given a name
Load More Replies...If they were going to go to all that trouble, why would they d**k around with crappy king cobra venom? King cobras aren't even in the top twelve deadly snakes. we have 8 of the top 12 here in Australia, they could have obtained much more potent venom, no trouble.
Oh! Yes, Australian snakes. Where to start? Both of the Taipans, all three Brown snakes, Belchers sea snake, Death adder, Tiger snake. There you go, 8 to choose from for starters.
Load More Replies...Corona beer hated Covid--when people heard it was a corona virus, they assumed the two were related.
Accomplished-Leg-991’s post ended up going quite viral as many people shared all the outlandish things they have heard, so we wanted to hear their opinion on what attracted folks to the thread. “I think the post got good reach as it is something most people will think about and hold in their heads as absurd or crazy and makes them wanna spill.”

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
I find it frightening, the number of people who buy into this QAnon c**p. And they vote.
My absolute favorite was when the news in Texas was alerted that they were lining the streets waiting for JFK, or JFK Jr to return and be Donald Trump’s running mate and they had signs and everything heralding his great return and how happy they were to see him, only for him to *shockingly* stay ☠️ Just the insanity! And the thought that they not only vote, but get elected? I’m in an alternate universe. I have to be. I want to go home now! 😂
Load More Replies...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.
Wait this is two conspiracies that need separated.. pizza gate and the adrenochrome thing
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).
Elon Musk just came out in support of this, even though the pizza parlor they were claiming it happened at doesn't even have a basement, let alone the rest.
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.
i saw that too. like they cant accept that full grown women dont walk around looking like 14 year olds with breast implants
Load More Replies...If that doesn't scream, "I'M AM INCEL!", I don't know what does for them.
Load More Replies...Do they also believe that all male celebrities are trans men? Or does it only apply to female celebrities?
There are several male celebrities they claim are woman: Ryan Gosling, Tom Holland, Tom played-Bane-In-Batman Hardy come to mind (from a youtuber making fun of the transvestigators)
Load More Replies...Did you know all the Barbies in The Barbie Movie are played by gay communist trans disabled lesbian Satanic Black Jewish Illuminati lizard mainstream journalist drag queen al Qaeda humanities professors? It’s true!
I don't trust you, how can I be sure you got it from a reliable source like YouTube, an anonymous tweet, some website that mentions being a patriot in every other sentence, or fox news.
Load More Replies...I have 29” hips but no one’s EVER accused me of being trans, prolly because of my abundant (・人・) that negate the “man” theory. (Yes, I am a top-heavy popsicle stick, and I’m now grateful I don’t know anyone so stupid as to think I’m trans.)
My forth finger is longer than my index. Thus I'm a guy. I should be famous as first man to deliver 5 children vaginally.
I'm a very out there trans ally. and I've had several people tell me that I don't pass as a woman. can someone please tell my ovaries, because I'd like to cancel my subscription to periods, if I'm a man, if that's okay. but of course, they can "always tell"
Load More Replies...Lastly, we wanted to hear if Accomplished-Leg-991 themselves had heard any particularly bizarre conspiracy theories in person. “I’ve heard tons of crazy conspiracy theories but clockwork elves, the theory of the Las Vegas shooter, and the dancing plague I love. Plus there are tons more but there are a few,” they shared with Bored Panda.
Traffic barrels are left up for so long because the department of transportation bought too many & has no place to store them
Driving through Charlotte the other day, told my wife I should have gotten into the orange barrel racket. They're f*****g everywhere.
I do believe it. Our local authorities are storing them all over the country on the roadside. And they hire heaps of men in red jackets leaning on shovels to guard them. 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.
Oh, I like this one! Now we won't feel so bad when we 'borrow' some cones.
That birds are not real and are actually just surveillance for the government. It's a great eye rolling experience.
But they aren’t real! And it’s only getting worse. I mean, even the birds we get as pets, like sweet (?) little budgy birds are not what we think. Those teeny eyes see EVERYTHING. At night, when you cover their cage, that’s when the downloading of the surveillance happens, as we sleep.
I have three budgies in a cage in my living room. If the government wants to spy on me drinking wine and scrolling through BP they can go right ahead
Load More Replies...There's a website devoted to this. I'm convinced it's a parody of conspiracy theories.
Bonus: The Corona pandemic was staged to allow government agents to change the birds' batteries :D
That is a hilarious addition to the conspiracy theory!
Load More Replies...It's a great eyerolling experiment, really. This "conspiracy theory" was started as a joke to prove you could make some people believe anything.
So my cat, when he at my finch, was actually working for an anti-government Malitia?
......so if birds are surveillance for govt, what does is mean when the 'birds' c r a p all over your car?
That you've been targeted for probing, stay vigilant.
Load More Replies...That's a joke. The guy who created Bird Aren't Real will gladly confirm it.
This always was, and still is, a satirical mocking of conspiracy theories. Akin to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. (May you be touched by Its Noodly Appendage. R'Amen)
You social security number indicates which bank you were sold to at birth.
Elvick, who had founded the redemption movement in the United States; the redemption movement notably promoted the strawman theory, which is based on the assertion that state legislative authority only extends to an individual's legal person, and not to their natural person.[13] Warman claimed that whereas in the United States, an individual's Social Security Number was used to attach this "strawman" to a natural person, in Canada, this was done using a birth certificate.[16] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeman_on_the_land_movement
Where can I look up which bank I was sold to? I wanna contact them to see whether they feel they got their money’s worth, and if not, to find out what I need to do to make their investment worthwhile! (Because surely they need to share the vast profits they got off me WITH ME!)
Social Security numbers used to give an indication of the location where you were born. I don't believe that's still true.
Not technically where you were born, but which regional office processed your paperwork.
Load More Replies...No, it sounds like someone who bought into the "sovereign citizen" nonsense.
Load More Replies...So by this theory anyone born outside the USA is not owned by a bank ... tell that to the billions of people who have f*****g mortgages worldwide, idiot. The sooner everyone realises that the banks and political elites are the entire source of woes and trouble of every person on the bloody planet the better. Now, let's have some ideas about how to redeem humanity - revolution anyone ?
viva la revolution!!! Though we die, the resistance lives on!!
Load More Replies...Does that mean that if you don't have a social security number you weren't born. Just spontaneously erupted?
The "5g waves emitted by the Emergency Broadcast test activate the Covid vaccine microchips and turn people into zombies/give them Marburg" one is definitely one of the weirdest I've ever heard
My wife and I still joke that we're so glad we got vaccinated because we get so much better reception on our phones now.
I got glass fiber in a root canal around the same time, best reception ever, recommend 10/10.
Load More Replies...They forgot to include the Illuminati, Nasa and the CIA in that explanation
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. But if I met him today I would run as fast as I could.
After several years of not catching a cold because of Covid precaution I mentioned my symptoms- sore throat, stuffed nose, etc. to a friend she said, "Sounds like 5G." I wish she'd been joking, we might still be friends.
I'm still mad that I didn't get the magnetic wi-fi powers from the vaccines. Mine were duds!
I still have a 4G phone so now I'm annoyed I got those vaccinations all for *nothing*! By the time I upgrade my phone, we'll probably have 6G, too, so still a waste!
Omg they must have got this from my uncle lol. He is a 5G/Covid nut. He has spent HOURS trying to convince me that 5G is used to embed us with microchips

Don't be silly, they just look up the date in the Farmer's Almanac like the rest of us.
The world is controlled by a goldfish in Switzerland hardwired into the internet. 🤣

Mountains are all the stumps of ancient fossilized enormous trees.
I'm absolutely *obsessed* with this theory. It's connected to flat earth, but flat earth isn't a requirement for this theory nor do most flat earthers believe it.

It's a facepalm pit to fall into. Also wrong mountain? More like this accirding to "the videos"? 31ded158b8...d5f619.jpg
This sounds like something a five year old asks their parents about when they’re supposed to be taking a nap.
welllllll ... The Himalayas have sea creature fossils. That's a Fact.
The earth is flat and everyone person has their own sun like the sun you see and the one I see is completely different
Well, it must be what is causing global warming. Every time someone is born another sun pops into existence.
OMG that makes so much sense when you put it like that 🤣
Load More Replies...If you starts to believe this, you need to talk to some professional help!
Well, from a philosophical point of view, what you see and I see ARE different as are what we feel, experience and taste. It's only by having a sympathetic / empathetic attitude that you can visualise and imagine what someone else is doing or feeling.
A lot of people are getting hit in the head these days. I got a concussion and saw my own stars.
Yet as far as I know not one person in the history of humanity has ever been to the edge.
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!

That the great fire of London was actually started by a rat spontaneously combusting.
The Great Fire of London never happened. It's a lie designed to sell us house insurance.
You fool, London doesn't exist. It was invented by the Germans during WW2 to give their pilots an excuse to waste fuel and drop faulty bombs.
Load More Replies...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.
The rat was making the world's first batch of crystal meth and it got out of hand.
Which Great Fire of London? There've been "great fires" in London in 60, 122, 675, 1087, 1133, 1212, and, of course, 1616.
False! We all know it was because the penguin on the telly exploded!
Chemtrails have got to be up there.
Psst...have you noticed that we didn't have chemtrails until there were jet aircraft? There's got to be a connection. /s
I know you’re being facetious, but let’s point out that there is plenty of footage from WWII of high altitude, propeller driven bombers leaving contrails. It’s all just a bunch of hot air.
Load More Replies...When I was little, I thought that the jets that leave contrails were called skyscrapers.
As if there were super secret manufacturing plants with super secret employees, buying super secret ingredients to make super secret chemicals, that are then loaded into super secret tanker trucks with super secret drivers, driven to all airports in the world where those super secret tankers pull up to airplanes waiting at gates and pump those super secret chemicals into super secret holding tanks that were added after market by super secret companies with super secret employees at super secret facilities.
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.

WHat yall fail to realize here, perusing these lists, playacting as "real readers," but far more likely FEDS, is that many of these things that one might find trivial or benign, are not Celebrated theories. These things do not make We the Informed People happy. Whatsoever. And it is Our Aim, by Way of Educating the unaware, that We can muster some Positive change, and prevent some of this despicable stuff from continuing when our children grow older...Full Effing Stop...
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.
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"
As a gunowner and avid enthusiast, I concur. Seen some scary stupid stuff happen because of low IQ gun owners
Load More Replies...If you think guns are going to help you against a full assault by special forces you're already living in some weird fantasy land.
I personally can't even imagine being a friend with someone who unironically follow Alex Jones.
My ex became an Alex Jones fan. That's one of the reasons he's now an ex.
Dollar general stores are run by the government to get information about UFOs
There is definitely a conspiracy at Dollar General, just maybe not that one
I just joke it would be nice if Dollar General/Family Dollar would finish unpacking one store before they build another! 😂 I can never walk in the darn store because of all the boxes! I just stopped going in there.
Load More Replies...This is fascinating. I really want to know how me buying knock off brand Malt-O-Meal Tootie Fruities is providing information about the existence of extra terrestrials.
The conspiracy is that Dollar general sells anything for a dollar but it doesn't!
Considering some of the people I've seen in there, it wouldn't surprise me. 👾👾👾👾👾👾👾👾
WHAT) Capital-A Hard-Hat Retardio... What in the ever living P***k is this person talking about exactly....?
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.
You know I can almost wish such fantastical villainous schemes were taking place, life can be pretty boring. Sadly fantasy will always win over reality.
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.....
Load More Replies...They cant even fix the potholes on a short road. What makes anyone think they can make underground roads around the world
They're not. They're using the ones the Romans built. Duh
Load More Replies...I hope there are gas stations or charging stations along the way. It's a long trip.
They could just have a slide, your butt would be sore afterwards but it would be worth it.
Load More Replies...It's sad so many people think the remake of Total Recall is a documentary.
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.
That owning chickens are the gateway drug to believing conspiracy theories
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 .
my flock is not THAT evil lol. our rooster is pretty good at protecting our hens from hawks. but a couple of our hens are just plain mean. oh you are eating from the food dispenser while i’m eating? *pecks in the face*
Load More Replies...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..
I would say the part where you start believing everything you think is the truth, is the path to believing CT? ...
HAHAHAHA! I have a client that is a TOTAL tin foil hat lady and she has chickens!
If you have a rooster...maybe, all that crowing is enough to send someone crazy
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.
See the one about birds not being real, they are just government surveillance....it works!
Lol I am having a hard time believing that all the (mainly) sane British chicken owners that I know will soon be spouting conspiracy theories.
Flat Earth.
Just . . . everything about it.
I can personally attest that my cat has knocked at least four things off the edge of the earth. Hold up. Five. Dammit!
This is getting sooooooooooooo boring..... Let's try something else: hollow Earth.... and the little lights we think are stars are actually just the lights of the cities and houses at the other side of hollow Earth. (We live on the inside...get it?)
I will never understand this one... In order for this to be true, there would literally need to be millions of people involved, both government/military and civilians. Literally millions. And what do all of these people hope to gain by maliciously convincing us the world is round when it's really flat? These loons can never answer those questions.
But it is such a funny conspiracy! I love watching those people! This is the best picture: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTGkvm8GyqSwVwCiqgUgHOL-75mGyO-XHyG-Q&usqp=CAU flat-earth...133289.png
But all the other planets are spheres that rotate. God did this so we wouldn't fly off.
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.
I saw that on TV, had no reference to it but saw the end credits after luckily!
At least you can verify that this disclaimer in the credits is NOT, in fact, just another conspiracy to throw us off the trail :-)
Load More Replies...now that a theory that might just be true anyway why would Germany lose
Load More Replies...Studio was to expensive, they just filmed on location 🙃
Load More Replies...I literally have an audio recording of the 1958 World Cup on CD in my lap. Sadly it's only in Swedish.
Is that like the giant prehistoric shark they claimed was still alive that time on the Discovery Channel?
Recently TikTok kept giving bizarre suggestions where people trying to prove Ice Wall in Antarctica that Earth is bigger and something is hiding behind ice wall in Antarctica…. Wth
Been around long time, and every time they try to prove a stationary flat earth, with a dome. They [accidentally] proves the earth to be a spinning ball. Then deleting that video soon after.
There's a great documentary called "Under the Dome" where the flat earthers prove multiple times that the Earth is round and rotating. But they dismiss it as "we didn't do it right".
Load More Replies...They "have" that. They have an "explanation" for everything. 😩
Load More Replies...Sadly, the way things are going, any ice walls in Antarctica are going to be getting smaller very soon.
Never saw Games of Thrones, but when it started I read something about an ice wall there. Maybe it comes from there?
Fiction is dometimes their proof that "they" are hiding "all of the things"..
Load More Replies...The idea is that there is "hidden land" that could be colonized or something... perhaps they are so depserate to have their own kingdoms :D
There’s a whole podcast with hundreds of episodes dedicated to this subject. Worth a listen. One of the wildest ones is that Charlemagne’s grandson moved the calendar forward ~300 years and thus the dark ages never happened.
And this worked all over the world, even in countries he wans't aware of?
They would not have known. They either had their own date system and integrated in the 'new' system, or they accepted the new system not knowing it was erroneous. And as far as the stars were concerned, it was after all the dark ages...so they weren't visible. QED 🙃
Load More Replies...“This podcast is worth a listen.” We’re sposta guess at which podcast it is? Here’s my conspiracy theory: Stupid people are procreating with other stupid people and birthing total morons, and morons now outnumber the people with brains. 😕 Prove me wrong.
I remember learning about this in university and how it can be easily falsified with radiometric dating. Best illustration: Vesuvius erupted in 79AD and argon-argon dating puts it at 84AD with an error range of about 15 years either way.
We're all infected by parasites that feed on our stress hormones reseased by negative emotions like guilt, sadness, anger, fear, and so on. They control our minds and, thereby, us to an extent. The only way to combat them is by being aware and questioning if your thoughts and actions are truly your own thoughts and actions.
I always question my thoughts. Most of the time they don't make the slightest bit of sense
But, like, even though these facts are wrong, it is actually healthy to use meta cognitive methods to question your own depression etc. So… way to go, conspiracy theory?
One of my sons is convinced of this. Then someone in his friend group picked up scabies and because they all hang out closely, sleeping in each other’s beds, it has spread. He had to take Ivermectin as the topical cream wasn’t working. Two conspiracy elements rolled into one! I’m praying that’s now the end of the parasite talk.
What, using meta cognitive methods? I’m talking about cognitive behavioural therapy, which I don’t think is the same as Scientology. But in any event, even if it was, so what? What makes Scientology bad is cruel punishments that might include slavery, people disappearing, and attacking people. It’s not psychological techniques.
Load More Replies...so...it's just paranoia. also probably made by someone who was paranoid
I'm always stressed & feeling all those negative emotions near constantly. I must be the host body..
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.
So basically like being old and stuck in a Walmart as a greeter. But the army. Got it. Totally makes sense. /s
Check out The Urantia Book. Supposedly communicated to the Urantia Foundation by aliens, it has a history of Jesus' missing years as well as a history of the universe. Why would anyone write thousands of pages of such bizarre nonsense?
All these theories are things that most of us have thought in our heads as a sort of amusement and mental entertainment. Where it gets freaky is when we actually start believing them and telling others, who, having not an original thought in their heads, decide to believe it too.
I've smoked for 45 years and it never made me into a nutso.
Load More Replies...Because the illuminati put forth these conspiracy theories to hide behind.
Load More Replies...Critical thinking skills are so seriously lacking coupled with disinformation being thrust at people it is no wonder some of the more gullible people succumb to conspiracy theories.
I must say fellow Pandas your responses were better than the theories 😁👏
Last night a library patron accused us of selling her information to the Illuminati. What was the basis for this fact? Earlier in the week the public computer she was using had the volume set at 50. Yesterday it happened to be set at 63. That 13 point different obviously proves her point. 13 is evil, Illuminati are evil. (sigh)
I got an illuminati eye tattoo specifically to intimidate idiots.
Load More Replies...They forgot a very serious one that killed over 100k of our citizens: that AIDS does not get caused by the HI virus. Our president Mbeki believed this one.
Some of these are conspiracies which have managed to spread. Some of these are the delusions of people suffering from schizophrenia.
