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?

Jim Morrison faked his own death and came back as Barry manilow

Ooooh remembered another one I saw on tiktok a wee while ago.

Mountains are giant tree-stumps from pre-human times and this giant race (to scale) have been covered up.

Somehow I don't find that one as batshit as the one about the dinosaurs being faked / planet / never existing. Grin

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.

@MrsFoxyplease

We are all living in some kind of computer game being controlled by a higher being.
Is that not just religion?

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 Grin

The one that left me scratching my head is that Avril Lavigne was replaced with a lookalike. Why?

Soggymarshmellows · 06/12/2021 22:06

If we are living in a computer game I've got a really lame player, not like Jodie Comer in Free guy!
It's definitely possible though.

Omicron is an abbreviation for No Crimbo.

Also

9/11 was a hoax or an inside job.

As well as moronic.

dave dave and michael jackson were the same person and he faked his death

Sorry, what’s this?
fluffythedragonslayer · 06/12/2021 22:13

I firmly believe Paul McCartney died and was replaced.

I also think the Queen is dead.

frugalkitty · 06/12/2021 22:15

I liked the early covid one about lockdown being necessary to change the batteries in the birds. I'm another who's worked with a flat earther, although that's actually quite interesting when you take a look into it.
Some of the 9/11 conspiracies are nuts, but compelling to read.

Excitedforthecheeses · 06/12/2021 22:15

That Epstein didn’t kill himself..

Covid…

Oh, wait 🤔

AdventStar · 06/12/2021 22:18

Flat earth is 99% people unable to imagine the sheer size of earth. It's like they think we live on a beach ball. "Why can't I feel any sloping then?!" Uh, well..

I wonder if there any flat earther mumsnetters?!

What does it explain?!

But why..?! I mean I guess that's a question for almost any conspiracy theory😂 but I really can't fathom why you'd believe this one... what possible reason/benefit would there be... why these two not all the other people who've died... why would anyone go to the effort required... bonkers 🥴
Excitedforthecheeses · 06/12/2021 22:30

So odd where the Avril lavigne one came from…why her and just…why?!

Pieceofpurplesky · 06/12/2021 22:30

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)

SW1amp · 06/12/2021 22:31

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

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?

You think Covid is a hoax?

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