conspiracy

We can talk about what shady underground group is doing what where, but the conspiracies people really believe in are about game shows, traffic cones and Disney attractions. They're not exactly inconsequential, maybe more of a thought experiment. Hey, it's at least fun to turn to a coworker and say "have you heard that small pockets are in bed with big purse?" Here are people's creepiest theories on the nature of reality.

Most of us aren't scientists, but we do have decent imaginations, so boy are we compelled by weird and freaky explanations for existence, aliens and free will shenanigans. Weird stuff happens all the time, like these people's weirdest butterfly effect moments from small decisions. Armchair theories on existence get to be a lot, so here are some lighter conspiracy theories people believe for fun.

We're intellectually obligated to believe things with some amount of evidence, but damn if hunches aren't compelling. Everyone has their personal conspiracy theories and stupid beliefs that they will believe to their dying day, no matter how little actual proof they have.

William Mullally cracked this stupid covid conspiracy theory wide open when he investigated what that little thing in the background could have been. The answer was hard to guess. Even though they're usually stupid, people have their favorite conspiracy theories about things like Justin Trudeau as Castro's son or that the world actually ended in 2012.

We're confident that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not in fact the illegitimate son of the late Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro. What we do know for sure is that light conspiracy theories are fun. Here's Tumblr's goofy take on the minimal, but strangely compelling evidence. For more Tumblr, here are some hilarious and random Tumblr gems.

Some of the most compelling conspiracy theories aren't about cloning and time travel, but laundry soap and mattress stores. There are some freakier ones, like this conspiracy theory saying the world ended in 2012, but tons of people have lighter conspiracy theories that they believe mostly for fun.

Tumblr provides context to the story of a formerly anti-vaxx mom who changed her mind after realizing that she was wrong. It's wild that it has to come to such extreme cases to change someone's mind, but the idea that critical thinking and research as a skill is important, and that people can get better at it is kinda cool. For some eye opening info, Here's a Tumblr thread that provides a lot of missing information about the reality of the McDonald's hot coffee case, or the time Tumblr users got schooled on physics and car safety.

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.

Sadly, you can reliably trust that the internet will vomit up harmful pseudoscience all over the place. Thankfully, some people out there who actually know what they're talking about are willing to explain the facts as understood by the real experts.

These facts are about to take you for a trip!

The Philadelphia Zoo says he's just trying to keep his hands from getting dirty, but naturally the internet turned it into more than one conspiracy theory.
