33 Wild Conspiracy Theories That Will Make You Say "Maybe They're Right?”

Everyone I tell about this tells me I'm overreacting and it's just a conspiracy. But I strongly believe large companies who use eco friendly products around customers only do it to make themselves look good, and to make the customer feel like pollution is their fault when they use for example, plastic straws. When in reality using eco friendly straws barely dents the amount of pollution the company itself makes behind the scenes.

Disney absolutely believed that Hillary Clinton was going to win the 2016 election, so they started building her animatronic for the Hall of Presidents well in advance, and after trump pulled off a victory, instead of starting from scratch they just kinda made a couple half-assed adjustments to the Hillary model and put it up on stage.

Planned Obsolescence (if it's still a conspiracy theory). Why does my phone suddenly develop unseen issues when the new one is released? It's not a coincidence. And who even asked for these tech companies to release a new phone every year? We live in a time where technology is now growing at a rather slower pace compared to the 2000s when there was rapid innovation. It's not like my current phone is getting crappier in one year, but wait, IT IS!

Applies to phones, tablets, smartwatches, basically most (rather expensive) internet-connected devices receiving updates.

The recommended food pyramid is created by the FDA, but the fda is funded by a lot of certain food industries, poultry, dairy, etc. they in turn made the recommended nutrition based off of their funding by these companies, and not based on a well balanced diet.

That your phones microphone is constantly "hot" and its listening for key words to target advertising.

Most glaring instance where this happened to me was when I walked into a colleagues office. He had just gotten a standing desk, but one that goes on top of his existing desk rather than a standalone (pun?) Model. That's important to note.

I said "Nice standing desk, when did you get that?". "Thanks, just today." He replied.

That was literally all that was said about the desk. We talked about work related stuff and as I walked out and checked my phone, there was an ad on Facebook for that EXACT model of standing desk.

I have never owned one, wanted one, or googled one before. Yet there it was on my feed. Tin foil hat be damned, they listen in.

And that Area 51 is a publicity stunt by the government to hide the real testing facility.

That there are monsters in the ocean. We have only discovered 5% of our worlds ocean and I truly believe there is something hiding down there.
Edit: turns out it's like 9 or 10% now.

Human cloning has already been done or attempted. We cloned a sheep named dolly in 1996, and humans aren't that much different to sheep in their early blastocyst or embryonic development. Some government agency has probably cloned a human and are watching over that person right now.

The reason Disney came out with a movie called "Frozen" was so that when you Googled "Disney frozen" you would get information about the movie and not websites talking about Walt Disney's body being frozen.

The "Ballistic Missile Threat" that was sent to Hawaiian's cell phones saying, "seek shelter this is not a drill," that was later deemed a mistake, was a real missile that was intercepted before impact.

This is the smallest conspiracy ever, but - you know how when you pull a tissue out of a box, there's this dust that comes out from the tissue when it scrapes the perforated edge? I swear it's designed like that so that the dust makes you sneeze. And then suddenly you need more tissues...

Rise up against BIG TISSUE!

That the CIA post this question every time so they know what the general public suspect.

One of my favorites is that the government was behind #ThrowbackThursday in order to get us to digitize and upload pictures that they would not have had access to in order to improve age progression/facial recognition algorithms.

Women’s pants pockets are significantly smaller than men’s pants pockets to encourage us to buy handbags and purses.

Consumerism is a massive hoax hiding in plain sight. A handful of sly and powerful exploiters have tricked billions of people into believing they need to constantly buy things to survive. For most Westerners, endless consumption has become an unqestioned state of being. Billions of people have voluntary enslaved themselves because they cannot stop craving "more."

If people abruptly stopped buying everything except the necessities, it would cause more damage than World War I and II combined. Most of the world's countries would cease to be.

All those DNA ancestor sites are giving the government your DNA for their record

Cops go on Waze and leave random police sightings to cause people to slow without actually having to stay and check on people.

That in very ancient times people were gigantic and shrunk with the ages. And that those giants built mysterious structures such as stone henge. No real reason to believe it I just like it.

The Oil and Coal industries invested heavily in killing off nuclear power as an attractive alternative. These days we have reactor designs many times safer than other methods of generating power, and the waste issue is something that could be fixed with sufficient investment.

The government experiments on the mentally insane because no one will believe someone with that kind of medical history.
