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.

    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.

    99% of plastic recycling programs are useless and are staged to make people feel good about themselves.

      This isn’t a conspiracy at all. Plastic recycling was originally driven by plastic producers, to shift the blame for pollution away from themselves. Basically, it was a way for the producers to go “it’s not our fault the world is full of plastic. It’s the consumer’s fault for failing to recycle all of it!” They saw the inevitable plastic mountain on the horizon, and took steps to ensure they weren’t going to be blamed for it.

      That’s not a conspiracy LOL, there’s plenty of greenwashing around that costs more in environmental effects than if we’d just partied like it’s 1977.

    The Earth was created in 2020 by aliens. They gave use fake memories to think we existed before that year

      This conspiracy theory is called Last Thursdayism. Basically, the conspiracy is that the entire universe was created last Thursday. But we were all created with “memories” of time before last Thursday, so we all collectively believe the universe is much older. Basically, all of the evidence we have of an old universe was also created last Thursday.

        The debate on whether Last Thursdayism is true has raged on ever since the creation of the universe last Thursday.

        Lol
