What’s the most batshit belief you’ve ever known someone to hold

[Ifyouwannabe1]

just met up with a long time friend (lovely, but utterly away with the fairies) who honestly believes the earth is flat as well as a whole host of other similarly crazy things. It got me thinking what’s the most batshit thing you’ve ever known anyone to think?

That women can control their bleeding during their period as they can their pee. So basically we can hold it and just let it out over the toilet.

Covid isn’t real. The first lockdown was all a conspiracy to get us all off the streets to protect us from radiation while the ‘dangerous’ 5G network rollout was being undertaken and also to take away our civil liberties so we would become more compliant. The ‘mandatory’ vaccine rollout was a conspiracy by the deep state and big pharma to either make us infertile or fit microchips to us, and was a further demonstration of the erosion of our civil liberties. Anyone who questions any of the above is a ‘sheeple’,

... on a certain date a dead president would be resurrected, pledge his allegiance to Trump and then Trump would reveal all and be president forever. May be a version of the same rumour, but there's one re John F. Kennedy, Jr. - so dead son of a dead president - who is supposed to reappear and become Trump's VP candidate in 2024. The suggestion wasn't that he'd be resurrected, but that the plane crash that killed him in 1999 was faked and he's been in hiding helping Trump behind the scenes.

I was in Ontario during the vaccine protests/blockades earlier this year and there were fliers everywhere warning people not to get vaccinated because the vaccine contains trackable nanochips which will enable to One World Government to take over, as predicted in Revelations.

I believe all Christians don't believe that dinosaurs existed!

That if you use your back door rather than front door to leave your house as standard it means you're poor.
I have a door on the side that I use, wonder where that leaves me??

Middle class, of course 🤣

That Bill Gates was funding Covid vaccine research because he planned to use the vaccine to kill all humans.

My ex husband when we first got married believed that womens periods only ever lasted 1 day. This was 2003

In the past the world was in black and white. Look at old photographs if you want proof. Only when we became prosperous enough could we afford to live in colour.

That Stevie Wonder isn’t really blind, he just wears sunglasses and pretends.

Re the coffee, don’t bulletproof coffee people put butter in it? So cheese isn’t too far a stretch, assuming it’s soft. Obviously you wouldn’t put Parmesan in it. Unless grated.

I suppose Tibetans put butter in tea...

I loathe cheese so the post itself probably passed me by It's a shame that people trying to advocate for learning how to shop so you minimise nonessential top-up trips for "essentials" got completely overshadowed by this "put cheese in your coffee" thing.

I'm agnost8c but was brought up as a roman Catholic, strangely enough we were taught about dinosaurs at my convent primary schools ,not sure why you would think all Christians wouldn't believe in then.

@JamTuesday my DD asked me why there wasn't colour in the olden days!

Religion. Its just ridiculous

Some of these are hilarious

I know someone who genuinely believes in chemtrials. It wouldn’t surprise me if she was a flat earth we Tbf… we don’t speak much…

Ive a family member with a PHD in biology who only found out recently that Narwhals are real

Reminds me of a long Junior Assembly story. John was a devout Christian, there were floods, he was warned to leave as the waters rose, he refused to go with them, when his living room under water, he refused the raft, when it was up to his bedroom window he wouldn't get into the lifeboat, The Lord will save me! Enentually he was sitting on the roof, refusing to be lifted into a helicopter but he cried out Lord, why hast thou forsaken me??? A great rumble and a deep voice, John, I sent people, rafts, lifeboats and a bloody helicopter, where was your common sense??

Ok this one is delightful though. Did you correct them?

That Brexit will make things "better". When it didn't, it will eventually.

My ex-neighbor used to pray to angels. She had it all set up in one of her bedrooms. Apparently, she became a kind-of DGM to a neighbors child and the angels sorted that out. She was an evil witch and got the neighbor (with the child she was kind-of DGM to) evicted.

My friends husband thought that water makes your hair grow. Like it’s a fucking plant on your head or something.

I had a teacher tell me that we can only see the moon at night because the sun shines through it!

My GCSE science teacher told us that climate change was a conspiracy.

I had a completely normal lovely friend, when got injured in the army he had to leave. He moved to the dessert, joined a cult and bought a load of guns. Then spent ages telling me I was a sheep for believing things like the Manchester attacks were real. I had to cut contact in the end.

I know someone who believes the moon isn't real. It is a hollow, man made structure put there for what reason I don't know. The moon landings, space station, etc are all fake and it is all about controlling people. She is also a flat earth, Q anon, covid conspiracy believer.

She also tried to convince me that everyone had bank accounts with billions of pounds in them because the government sold our identities at birth. Donald Trump was going to save the world and we'd all receive the billions and never have to work again.

And shutting down discussion on opinions by claiming ‘transphobia’ has made the situation worse.

Shutting down discussion of any controversial subject has always led to it being mocked, eg back in the 60s/70s feminism was just associated with bra burning leading to the jokes and the use of the letters m-a-n which led to Personchester, Personsfield, what was wrong with a manhole cover?

Middle class?

Not like the Labour Bots aren't usually on parade, is it? Both sides never miss an opportunity to take a pop at the other!
