My pet conspiracy theory that California does not exist. It was invented by democrats to pad their electoral votes. Any one who has traveled there actually went to a staged area in Oregon. Anyone who claims to live there is either brainwashed or in on it. Maps, globes, etc. have all been altered. Satellites have special software that adds California to its images. Spacecraft windows are actually screens that digitally alter earth to add California.
Once you consider that California is allegedly the location of Hollywood and movies often create convincing, fake worlds, it makes sense. Hollywood was created to take advantage of the tech developed to fake California and continue funding the conspiracy...
The one where the Nazis found an Antarctic hole into a hollow earth world with aliens/lizards inside it... And that's where they were getting their tech.
One of my favourite historical ones was the John birch society saying Lyndon B. Johnson was a communist agent, who started the Vietnam war to help communists take over the USA.
I make a YT channel about bizarre conspiracy theories. I keep coming back to the people who make videos claiming that 5G is actually a deadly weapon on their 5G Iphone 16. Nobody has more cognitive dissonance than these guys.
The global wealthy elite being pedophiles conspiracy is unthinkably evil. Itβs also unfortunately true. Epsteinβs island proved it.
Donald Trump is really Andy Kaufman method acting.
I'd actually be less mad, I think, if it turned out to be a Kaufman prank.
I'd still want him in prison though.
I haven't been able to find this theory again because searching for it brings up the moon landing conspiracy, but some people think that there's a second, fake moon which is why the moon rises and sets twice a day.
which is why the moon rises and sets twice a day
It...but...that's...
Huh?
The Mandela Effect is pretty wild, but itβs also the most explicitly mental-health issue adjacent of an already βare you sure youβre ok?β field.
Qantas used to have a 'u' in it, but they changed their name so now you don't even know!
That's like asking who the craziest person is. Like, there's so many to choose from, and they get less and less well known as you go nuttier and nuttier.
