What is your favourite conspiracy theory?

[julieca]

I love the crazy conspiracy theories. So my favourite ones are that birds arent real and that Paul McCartney is dead and the man we see now is a lookalike.
What about you?

Is that why he can't sing well anymore?

Ancient aliens was a funny one too

Subterranean life. Ds was / is quite inti this. It's so batshit but ds is so animated when talking about here and on Mars.

I know its batshit. It's like the newest king Kong movie. But he total reals me in. I'm almost "he has a point here...." until I'm snapped back into reality 🤣

The covid vaccine contains chips that are tracking us.

That one makes me laugh...99.9% of the time it would be boring as fuck tracking millions of the population, I'm not sure the government are remotely interested in their school runs and trips to Tesco..

The flat earth thing that I really don't get is why?! What benefit is it to anybody to pretend the earth isn't flat if it actually is? And it'd need to involve soooo many people, pilots, sailors, astronomers, just hundreds of thousands of people. Why would they all bother, what is to be achieved by people not knowing the earth is actually flat? I asked someone once, they told me to do my own research. I still don't know

[Forgetaboutme]

I believe the Paul McCartney one and call his replacement Paul McCorny. He's just not quite the same.

I won't lie though, I have poor judgment for this stuff. I'm still waiting on Tupac Shakur (2pac) coming back after he faked his death. All the clues said 7 years and its been about 27 now!

[julieca]

That Queen Elizabeth 1 died and to cover it up she was replaced by a man pretending to be her.

Here's the tree one! (You can tell I do a lot of late night reading on r/conspiracy ).

[Herani]

Oh yes, Faul is definitely a favourite of mine. Mainly because I remember my older brother was a huge Beatles fan and I used to join in and read the album covers. I remember really not liking some of the later stuff because Paul (previously my favourite) didn’t look like cuter early Paul. I was too young to have heard any of the rumours.

911...i am still unsure and think it was all staged but not sure why...??

The Mandela effect is my favourite. You never have to lose an argument because if you are proved wrong, you can blame it on the Mandela effect changing things. Meaning that you were actually right all along, and the other person is just more easily influenced than you.

Now I’m one of those who absolutely is sure the film was ‘Interview with THE Vampire’ the cartoons were called ‘Looney TOONS’ and it was ‘Sex IN the city’ but I guess I switched dimensions somehow. 😉

[LavenderAskew]

I'm sorry birds aren't real and Finland doesn't exist?

How have I missed these. What have I missed!!!?

[Floogal]

Bit sick, but completely ridiculous. AIDS was man made to cull gay people because of population control. If that was true, then surely gay men are the last people to target.
Another popular one was Michael Jackson faked his death to clear his debts.

However, I do think the Kurt Cobain being murdered sounds plausible

[yaldy]

Never heard of the Finland one

It's an absolute hoot!

Flixborough was an explosion in the 70s that killed many people. Some people believed it was to do with the Cold War rather than an accident (I think)

My dad was a fireman and nearly lost his life putting this out. I wasn't born until 1981 though so it was before my time but still gives me goosebumps thinking about it.

[AnotherOneWithNoGoodName]

My favourite is the Michael Jackson isn't really dead one, not that I believe it but it's just so fascinating!

[Mamanyt]

We have some doozies here in the US. My favorite recent one was the JFK, Jr. is still alive, and that he would be appearing in Dallas, Tx on November 2, and would see Trump reinstated as President, with JFK, Jr. as his vice-President. When that did not happen, it was widely broadcast that he would actually shortly appear at a Rolling Stones concert. Well...they do need a new drummer, but Mick Jagger is getting too old for these shenanigans (and spandex, but that's another post).

[hygtt]

I watched something about a secret service accidentally shooting JFK, tbh it was quite convincing.

[Mummyford]

JFK jr faked his own death so he could come back as Donald Trump's Vice President in 2024 as part of a long-game plan to stop child trafficking.

[ArrrMeHearties]

I love me a conspiracy theory thread for late night reading

[dropthevipers]

The Titanic/Olympic switcheroo is a good one, but amazed no one has yet mentioned the gold standard which is surely the JFK assasination. This is hardly the place to go into the screeds of detailed evidence, but for the curious, just google Dorothy Killgalen and Richard Case Nagel to whet your appetite.

The ‘faked’ moon landings theory.

It’s a sort of back-handed tribute to the incredible engineers, scientists & pilots who, without the aid of computers took WW II missile technology and developed it into a system which took humans to another world then brought them home safely that so many people born decades afterwards simply cannot believe they actually did it.

I remember the first time I went to Cape Canaveral I attended a talk by a retired astronaut. He said that by the late 1960s NASA were reasonably confident that they could put humans on the moon, but bringing them back alive was a completely different matter, and nobody really knew if it would work until it did. The crews were incredibly brave men.
