Hey Pandas, What Is Your Favorite Conspiracy Theory? (Closed)

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.

The existence of Lemuria. An advanced island civilisation like Atlantis which, like Atlantis was swallowed by the sea. It definitely existed because psychics and seers in the late 1800's communicated with the souls of High Priests who once ruled the Nation.

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.

People who believe in conspiracy theories think they're smarter than everyone else, even cats!

God is actually the equivalent of a college student in another dimension and has the entire universe in a beaker as a science project.

We are in the matrix
Like WTF no we aren’t

The illuminati

Who are they? Illuminati signs and symbols are everywhere, even in Beyonce performances, but what is real and what is a conspiracy? There are theories of a secretive power elite seeking global domination have long held a place in the modern imagination.

The world series is rigged. The Boston Red Sox won after the Boston bombing. There are other instances of different teams winning the same year as local tragedies.

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.

My favorite, and Im gonna get downvoted for this but I think its hilarious. Its the story that Bill Hicks became tired of being a comedian so he faked his death. 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.

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.

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” 😜

Some people think that Australia is a hoax and that the animals there are animatronics.

Birds aren’t real

These are my favorite “not conspiracy theories”, because they are true.

1. Epstein didn’t kill himself.

2. Lee Harvey Oswald did not work alone.

3. The Clinton body count.

Mikey blew himself up with pop-rocks and coke (guess my generation).

Paul McCartney is dead and the one we see right now is a "clone"

Area 51 it's a classic

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!
