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?

[balboacoffee]

Never heard of the Finland one

[balboacoffee]

A family member believes in every conspiracy theory going. From earth being flat, the queen is a reptile and all royals are paedophiles, vaccines are dangerous and cause autism and kill babys/adults, toothpaste is poison, they once thought a helicopter flying above them was a government spy, New world order is real. I could go on and on! It's absolutely wild!

[ElephantandGrasshopper]

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.

That Courtney Love hired a hit man to kill Kurt Cobain. The more I’ve read the more it seems it could be true, especially when you see the different handwriting on the end of Kurt’s ‘suicide’ letter.

[CoastalWave]

The one about the Queen and Prince Phillip murdering a load of school kids in British Columbia.

Pizzagate

Boston Marathon

Moon landings

There's loads!

[BlackAmericanoNoSugar]

That Keanu Reeves is immortal. There's a website and everything.

The pizzagate one is so strange. An independent pizza shop apparently the hub of an international child trafficking ring.

Covid vaccines have Microsoft chips in them. Anyone who has used Microsoft Teams in the last year will know that their tech is way off the mark

Is this why Bill Gates is to blame?

[ichundich]

Where does the 'b' come from though?

[crystal1717]

Epstein death
Diana death

Moon landing. All three v suspicious

[MelonTits]

Big fan of the ‘Morrissey lyrics predicting Diana’s death’ theory. It is intense.

[Wfhquery]

The pandemic is a hoax so that they can get us to stay inside so they can change the batteries in the pigeons.
The pigeons are actually battery operated spies

[Redcrayons]

Finland definitely.

Qanon is a wierd rabbit hole to go down. The pizza gate thing, and that Trump is really secretly still president is working from the inside to take everyone down. Any, day, now.

I find quite a lot of the Covid ones are awful. . Knowing Otherwise fit and healthy people Suffering from long Covid, hearing that it doesn’t really exist is quite offensive.

My serious one is all the space missions. Well not all. Just space race. Missing cosmonauts from Soviet and the moon landings USA. When I said this in 2000 I was shouted down. But I notice a lot more people give this credence now.

seriously? I mean seriously {grin]

@Soggymarshmellows

I also love the 'missing centuries'. Something to do with a few hundred years being added to history in medieval times by Catholic Church. So no actual 'dark ages'. Explains so much. Probably boll*x though.

have you ever read any Terry Pratchett? They have History Monks who go around patching up gaps in time. The best book is Thief of Time, its brilliant

[godmum56]

@Riverlee

The covid vaccine contains chips that are tracking us.

YES!!! the Bill Gates controls us all via nanobots.

@SW1amp I think the Katy Perry one is sick. She was forced to issue a statement saying it was not true.

[HaaaaaveyoumetTed]

That the first lockdown was so they could change the batteries in the pigeons. I'm 99% certain someone made that up for shots and giggles, but I'm sure someone somewhere believes it. Really cracked me up.

Others I just find very sad. The people I know who believe them are just unable to cope with real life, they're invariably damaged and vulnerable individuals who have to believe what they do as some sort of self preservation and coping mechanism.

[BleuJay]

Aliens built the Pyramids.

[MamaWeasel]

I thought the Titanic one was proven to be true I watched a very compelling programme about it

[LitCrit]

@Excitedforthecheeses

That Epstein didn’t kill himself..

Covid…

Oh, wait 🤔

You think Covid is a hoax?

[SallyWebsterr]

@fluffythedragonslayer

I firmly believe Paul McCartney died and was replaced.

I also think the Queen is dead.

when do you think the queen died and why havnt they announced it?

also why did they replace Paul McCartney? Theres photos of him at family events, why dont they speak up and why do they still see fake Paul?

[SW1amp]

That Katy Perry is actually the child pageant beauty queen who went missing

The Finland one is pretty nuts as well

And chem trails because it makes no sense on any level

[Pieceofpurplesky]

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)
