35 Conspiracy Theories People Feel Must Be True
1.
That my phone listens to conversations. Far too many situations where I’d talk about something random and see adverts about it on FB and Instagram without me ever searching for it
3.
The “Fine Art” market is a scam used/run by the ultra wealthy to hide and preserve their wealth.
4.
Everyone’s going heavy with theirs but I have one that’s less serious. Baby wipe containers are purposely made so that you always pull 2-3 wipes out at a time and therefore need to buy more often. It’s definitely something I can see Big Wipe engaging in to get just a few more containers out of us each year!
5.
There are people out there hired by companies to make dozens of fake accounts that retweet, reblog, etc and act like real people just to advertise products.
6.
The media is the biggest stirrer of fear and anger and use it in order to stay relevant to keep the funds rolling in
7.
Women's clothing doesn't have adequate pockets because the purse and handbag industry wants to ensure women continue to buy bags to carry their things.
8.
That the government creates or at least promotes crazy conspiracy theories to make the true ones seem crazy by association.
10.
The cardboard rolls that toilet paper are on have gotten wider in diameter over the years. This is one way to make the rolls look bigger. Because you know 6 mega rolls equals 32 normal sized rolls...
11.
Aliens 1000% exist, maybe not UFOs and all that but there’s no way in hell we’re the only life in this gigantic galaxy
12.
That questions like this are market research, and this question in particular is likely to be used for some pretty nefarious purposes.
15.
Apple made the original AirPod memes and jokes to boost the sales on them after their sales sucked the first year.
17.
That someone from the inside knew that the Boeing 737-max was absolutely trash and shorted the stock
18.
China is using tiktok to develop a database to experiment and perfect deep fake technology and techniques.
19.
Well I don't actually believe the government is putting stuff in our water that's turning the frogs gay I do however believe the large amount of urine containing birth control waste getting out into the sewage is becoming an ecological problem
20.
For the record, serious answer. But, there’s this soup place at our local mall that’s been there for three years now. I’ve never seen anyone order anything from there, and I rarely see anyone at the register. When our mall was closed due to COVID lockdown/quarantine, several locally owned stores shut down, and a few places in the food court. Last time I was there was for my birthday in August, and the soup place is still there. My mom and I have an array of theories about what it could be, ranging from money laundering to a front for drugs, but I cannot believe that place is legitimate.
21.
This might not be a groundbreaking hot take, but i think that applying for disability status/benefits is intentionally made to be a convoluted mess of bureaucratic jargon and endless hoops to jump through SOLELY so that disabled people don’t take advantage of them, either because they give up trying to navigate an intentionally confusing system, or because they make a mistake along the way, and the process gets f***ed up. I’m really lucky I had my mom helping me with a lot of the paperwork because otherwise I would never be able to get the supports I need in post secondary. It’s like someone purposefully designed the process to be as unobtainable, messy, and overwhelmingly complex for a disabled person as they possibly could.
23.
That Facebook’s outage the day before the whistleblower went in front of the Senate was no accident.
24.
The Royal Family had Princess Diana killed for a multitude of reasons: pregnant w/Dodi’s child; going to blow the whistle on Andrew being a pedo; spilled other secrets.
26.
That video game companies got a taste of the kind of money that gambling brings in and changed an entire industry to emulate the casino structure but for children.
27.
Tom Cruise wants out of Scientology, but they have way too much on him and he's in too deep. That's why he does his own insane stunts and tries to outdo himself every MI movie; he doesn't care if he dies, it's his only way out.
28.
The conspiracy that created the term "conspiracy theory". Think back to the 30s, 40s, 50s. There were stories of the black cars showing up and making people that start finding out too much "disappear". Enter the 60s and 70s. Mass media starts growing at a massive rate. A rate at which the government realizes that they cannot ever fully control. Their genius solution is to open the floodgates of crazy. Push a bunch of conspiracy theories into the populace that makes real conspiracy reports be ignored as just "tinfoil hat crazy". Label ALL reports as conspiracy theory. This over time creates a societal misunderstanding in the form of the term "conspiracy theory" becoming equated with "crazy". An example of this is I believe that there really aren't many people that truly believe the earth is flat. There are just some entities planted that push it as a "theory". This then becomes one of the main examples of "all conspiracy theorists are not to be taken seriously".
29.
That the DOT bought way too many traffic cones but had nowhere to store them so they just move them from road to road.
30.
Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when he was still in office and his advisers told him to write a letter to the American people to be released later after it got too bad to hide. When his condition went public in 1994, they released the letter and it was almost perfect handwriting, spelling, and grammar. Six months later he couldn't carry on a conversation. I'm convinced he didn't progress that fast in 1994 and that the entire thing was constructed over the years to look like he was mentally competent while he was president.
31.
Chap stick actually causes your lips to feel more chapped after their affect wears off, causing you to use it more often and buy more chapstick
32.
Dollar slice pizza places. This may not make sense to people who don't live in New York City. We have these great places that sell a plain slice of pizza (cheese only) for $1.00. I can't believe they make rent and payroll on volume with $1.00/slice and the going rent rates. This has to be some sort of money laundering scam, but one where no one cares because you get a slice of pizza for a dollar. Might not be the best pizza, but damn, a dollar slice. I'll always stop in if I'm passing one on the street. This just can't be economically feasible and something else is going on.
