Doesn’t have to be one you think is true or even possible. Could be niche or mainstream. Mine is probably Mike Tyson threw that Jake Paul fight. I heavily believe Tyson did everything he could and is just old. Not to mention he’s fighting a roided up good athlete in his physical prime with a limited engagement strategy. I do like hearing people argue its all staged, understandable cope.
I don’t engage with conspiracy theories much but the two that have actually stuck to my memory are that the WTC attack on 11-9 happened right after the building 7 property was bought and insured for a huge amount, then loaded with the financial records needed for a massive financial crimes investigation, so it was a real attack but allowed to happen as a combo insurance payout and financial crime coverup, and that reddit is a consent manufacturing facility because the city with the most active accounts is an air force base with a small population (something like 25 accounts per person, if I recall) that does cyber warfare.
Bielefeld conspiracy. The city of Bielefeld in Germany does not exist. Everyone claiming to live there is a paid actor. Anyone who says they’ve visited is either in on it or has been decieved.
Birds are real.
False
You just haven’t seen the truth for what it is, maaaaaaaaaan
Not for long… 😢
Trunp and Putin have an affair.
Like, they kiss when nobody’s lookin?
Maybe Orban watches, too.
economics
Care to explain a bit more?
Stock market is bullshit and value of things are just made up and manipulated?
At some levels, sure. But things do have value and some are worth more than others.
You should read Proudhon’s work “What is property”
Oh oh I got one. Something to do with like Epstein wanted some property. He invited Trump to view it and shared his opinion. Instead, Trump bought the property. But it gets even better, supposedly he bought with Russian money.
Nice

The Holy Roman Emperor Otto III conspired with Pope Sylvester II (and quite possibly the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII as well) to doctor the dating system. The trio cooked the books to place their reigns at A.D. 1000, which they did because it is an auspicious number.
The three men added 297 years of bogus history to the early medieval period to facilitate this deception.
I have my own that is similar to this one, due to calendar switcheroo stuff. the idea is that biblical scholars at some point in history made up the stuff about Noah and others in Genesis living to 900 years and whatnot, or it was really just a simple mistranslation of ‘years’ with ‘months’ or ‘seasons’ and living that long sounded way cooler and made their religion superior because of it so they went with it.
i’m sure i’m not the only one who has thought of this but if one were to do the math and divide the supposed years lived by 12, it would put Noah at 77.5 years old instead 900, which is still a really long time for that era. each descendant lives less long but still reasonable ages after dividing by 12, all the way to Abraham when the division stops sounding logical, with him supposedly living to 175 which would put him at 14 and likely isn’t true (but still possible).
at this point the time error/lie switches to seasons, so ages get divided by 4 instead, putting Abraham almost at age 44, much more likely. the last one with an abnormally high age (that i am aware of) is Moses, at 120. By that point, it’s actually his real age and no more division is necessary, plus, records from other places would start to show noticable conflicts in ages.
in my mind, if Otto and Sylvester actually did the 297 year thing, what’s to stop them from doing this too?
Links are scary and I’m dumb.
This guy made a case that we are really in the year 1728 because Holy Roman emperor wanted their reign to begin in the year 1000 because its pretty. So they made up 290+ years of history and yanked the calendar ahead to cover it up.
Ohhh okay yeah I’m vaguely familiar with that one. Good one there.
That would be good because it would potentially explain some other conspiracy theories too, like the world didn’t end at y2k because we haven’t reached it yet. You could milk that for a while
Y2K was a date tracking problem for computers not a world ending event on this day type thing. It would bring back the Mayan calendar conspiracy with the world ending on 2012 just not happening yet though.
Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace was originally planned to be a covert Sith Master. He force jumps, he uses mind control, and he “accidentally” sabotages them. But the negative reaction to him was so strong, Lucas reworked the last 2 scripts of the prequels and is why Count Dooku basically comes out of nowhere.
At that point George’s writing and directing was so shitty, Jar Jar would have had an evil smirk or some stupid Sith one-liner that he repeated every 15 min.
Something something something dark side. Something something something complete.
God dammit I hate that one so much haha. Good pull though.
I love the idea of aliens building the pyramids. But I know it was probably just slaves or tradespeople or whatever.
Egyptian history is full of wild conspiracy theories
All those BS conspiracies can be summed up in just one: “if it wasn’t made by white people then it must be aliens. These black/brown/yellow/red skinned guys can’t build shit”.
Pyramids, Nazca, ziggurats, …
Epstein didn’t kill himself. He might not even be dead.
The only issue I have with that is with the amount of wealth and connections he had, he probably would have disappeared himself before he was arrested. Unless someone even more connected felt the need to shut him up before he had the chance to use the dirt he had on people.
If he disappeared, people would pursue him. Given the compromising material on other wealthy and powerful people he likely had access to, it wouldn’t just be western law enforcement, but potentially intelligence agencies of adversaries, criminal organizations, and the compromised individuals themselves.
I don’t mean just disappear, I mean fake his own death prior to being in prison
That’s a wild one.
That everything is going to be alright
Scariest one yet.
George Bush meeting with Harambe’s mother in 1999. I don’t know what the conspiracy is, but damn it makes me feel weird to see this.
Harambre was a Human-gorilla hybrid thought to be impossible. He could speak and was planning to “spill the beans” about his origin.
Noooooooo
I genuinely believe that all the design and music choices that caused major online outrage for that one Sonic movie that came out during COVID was all faked for press.
You mean to tell me that they redesigned and reanimated the entire movie and added multiple new scenes to the movie in six months during peak COVID?
OG trailer if you don’t know what movie I’m talking about: https://youtu.be/4mW9FE5ILJs
Here’s a clips from the when the “improved” version was released: https://youtu.be/6cIhrkE2txA
That definitely is a niche one! I like it.
They later said the only finished animations were the ones in the trailer. Live action filming was done, but they had barely gotten started on the CG animation when the awful trailer dropped, so it was easy to change course and redesign Sonic for the rest of the film. Also, the film was delayed while they made changes, so it did cause a setback.
Although I would believe that somebody dropped that trailer to prove a point that no one would watch a Sonic movie with that abomination. After the outrage and public backlash, the point was proven and whomever greenlighted the original design backtracked and let the animators fix it.
Well there’s the Mortal Error theory for the JFK assassination. Basically says that yes, he was shot by Oswald, but the “second gunman” who shot him in the head was actually an accidental shot coming from the secret service in car ahead of his.
Talk about a rough day at work
I love Hollow Earth theories. There’s some truly insane worldbuilding that’s gone into describing what’s inside there. Sometimes it becomes this bizarre multidimensional thing with layers of magical effects the deeper you go, and some sort of a primordial chaos forest or something at the bottom.
I tried to find my favorite long-winded text on the topic which goes really deep into the weeds with histories of various alien civilizations and shit, but this is the best I could quickly find.
