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?

@MsInsomniac

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

Brilliant!

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

I mean they could have at least chosen someone who looked vaguely familiar! Even tho guy they claim is Jim looks more like him

Coke has a very strong distinctive smell, don't think that would prove someone isn't blind!

No it doesn't, unless you've got confused and have purchased a bath bomb from lush and are doing it wrong.

Smells strong to me and I would easily recognise it, but maybe that's just me! Blind people do also tend to have their other senses heightened. I'll shut up now tho it's not particularly relevant to the thread

@Bumblebee2930

Simon Dorante Day who thinks he's the secret son of Prince Charles and Camilla.

Apparently there's also some bloke who's convinced he's the secret son of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

And there's a man who believes that he is the son of the late Princess Margaret.

Boris has a brain

@downtheroadcat surely no one believes that one?

Funniest post in a while here.

None in particular just the whole thread. This IS mumsnet.

Cinderella- that’s just plagued women for decades that Prince Charming exists and brings good shoes

That Elvis was an extra in Home Alone 2

I am too cynical to think there are any conspiracy theories that have not been written by 2 out of work comics who have taken a wee bit too much LSD.

@Theimpossiblegirl

That the Earth was created in 7 days by a celestial being...

This one!!!

I've been hearing this one for such a very long time, I believe this one even pre-dated my granny!

Wow, conspiracy theories date back to the early 1600’s 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️

When they were crazy stuff like Flat Earth, 9/11 and Diana Murdered we could just snigger and ignore them. With the rise of Q-Anon here in the US it suddenly got dangerous, even deadly.
Consider that MILLIONS of otherwise "normal" people have totally believed the "stolen election" BS coming from Trump's camp and still argue that Biden is illegal. It's very depressing.

@Guacamole001

I think many people believe Diana was murdered.

I really think not Not because there aren’t people who wanted her dead but because her star was waning. She was getting a lot of negative press around her relationship with Dodi Fayed and had been criticised for other relationships too. Her dying made her forever young and beautiful and The Princess of Hearts where’s had she lived I doubt she would have been as well “loved” forever.

Not sure if this counts and haven't had time to read the whole thread yet but im sure the SNP is intentionally sabotaging education in Scotland so that everyone needs to rely on benefits and then vote for independence.

@AlfonsoTheUnrepentant

There was a persistent rumor that the actor Rex Harrison was the illegitimate offspring of Edward VII...

There was one about Tom Hanks last year being a pedo and being photographed in Australia wearing an ankle tag, all a product of the fevered imagination eminating from basement-dwelling QAnonsense wackjobs.

Nope nope nope, the practice of defeminising black women is old and has no place in this century. FFS have people actually looked at the woman?? Gorgeous, feminine, CIS woman, intelligent wife and mother!!! Please please can people stop this-even unwittingly I can absolutely assure you, it’s a highly damaging and hurtful racial stereotype that black women are somehow less feminine, more like a man (remember Serena Williams being described as manly)

'Media Control' is actually an anagram of 'Delta Omicron' though...

The c19 passport is the goal as it will be connected to a digital wallet , programmable money , central banks digital currency, iso20020 and a social score system, loss of freedoms and liberty. Your children are fooked. This one is quite funny lol
