Let's face it, most of us are too paranoid for our own good. We make up stories and wild explanations for even the smallest things in our lives. Most are outlandish and are more an exercise in creativity, but some of these conspiracy theories seem to make almost too much sense.
In a world with well-known dumbass conspiracies like flat earth "theory" and the anti-vaxx movement, mention of conspiracies can be a bit stressful. Some of them are smaller, more specific, and personal. And while many are sort of silly, the more you think about them, the more believable they seem...
The world is a freaky place. Some events sound so extraordinary that they sound like a crackpot fever-dream that no one could possibly have thought to do in real life. You don't need to be Dale Gribble to believe these. These are 100% true facts (however fantastical they sound). On the other side, here are some completely unproven obscure conspiracies that people personally believe in.
"They never told me that we're living on top!" @LoveMahalHappy tweeted the mind-blowing realization her sister had when she was keyed into the fact that we don't live on the inside of the planet. It's just a matter of time til the conspiracy theorists get to her.
Dale Gribble wasn't some rambling, paranoid, chain-smoking conspiracy theorist after all...dude was right all along. I believe we have another name for "The Beast." Can anyone figure it out?
We've learned a lot in the past year about how Russia has been attempting to use social media manipulation to its advantage in order to shape the opinions and beliefs of those in the western world.
This twitter user used some impressive investigative techniques to uncover one particularly large Russian account that is posing as a British national.
Kellyanne Conway, the architect behind the Bowling Green Massacre and the recent boost in Ivanka Trump profits, has done it again.
During an interview, Kellyanne said that in addition to the possibility of being spied on by your television and phone, camera in your microwave might also be watching you.
Q: Do you know if Trump Tower was wiretapped?

Talk about a Pop Secret.
So now everyone on Twitter has been looking at their microwave a little differently because their microwave might be looking at them.
There's been a lot of talk recently about what former-president, current-private citizen Barack Obama is up to. Did he wiretap Trump? Is he planning a coup?
The answer is no. He's just windsurfing and wearing leather jackets. That kind of thing.
But that's not keeping curious people from asking their Google Home if Obama's up to something, and the answer is hilarious. Is Google Home hooked up to Breitbart, InfoWars, or something? We're not ruling anything out.
Alex Jones is a man who made a career out of making up fairy tales about why homosexuality exist (he thinks "they" are putting chemicals in the water that "turn the friggin' frogs gay." But man is it entertaining to watch him just lose it.
Of course, most of his freak outs are just guttural sounds because he's a man who bleeds blood, but being the living embodiment of trying to talk after drinking too much milk has its drawbacks.
