The “no shooter” theory is pretty far out there.

What if there was no shooter, and JFK’s head just did that?

I feel like that’s pretty self explanatory.

The UPS driver for my old office building told me trumps not racist or even appealing to racists , he wants to build the wall because there’s an underground supercomputer in Mexico thats going to open a portal to hell and flood the world with demons.
When is this movie releasing? I’d love to watch it
I mean, it’s a rip off of Doom.
Demons: Oh no. A wall. Flies over it
This sounds like something from a Tarantino movie where the demons start pouring in, but there is a fence. Since there are no fences or walls in hell, none of the demons understand it so they turn around and go home.
Exactly. Would you want to touch something with flies all over it?
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…

“Michelle Obama is a man”
The wider “every woman I don’t like is a trans man” conspiracy theories as well. Greta Thunberg, Taylor Swift, you name it, they’re all men pretending to be women for some reason I can’t grasp.
I’m still not sure if this is a conspiracy theory or mental illness. On the other hand, good on the trans community for transitioning so well that the hateful conservatives can no longer tell who’s trans or cis.
There is a fellow kiwi that debunks conspiracies (mostly flat earth) on youtube that has come out as trans (@Planarwalk). The utter vitriol that has been directed at her since she came out (and a little before as she at that stage tended towards effeminate) has been incredible to see. Trans people must be some of the strongest folk around.
They are. This is why the deranged idea that being Trans is somehow a “lifestyle choice” doesn’t make any sense. It’s literally life on hard mode.

I’ll bite. What’s the proof?
Is Michelle Obama’s penis in there?
Who?
It’s not a conspiracy theory. Finland really doesn’t exist.
Vladimir?
Not sure about Finland but New Zealand is often missing from maps which leads me to believe it doesn’t exists!
We like it that way

I mean, I can’t see it from here, so I have no choice but to believe you.
I’m sitting on it and I’m not 100% sure it exists.
I feel like flat earthers might be the most insane one I’m familiar with - I don’t keep up with the conspiracy-verse though.
Dan Olson did a great video on flat earthers. With a mid-video twist on why you don’t see as much of them anymore as you used to
Production wise it’s one of my favorite video essays
What happened? Did a bunch of them fall off the edge?
I wish.
In case people don’t want to get spoiled:
spoiler
The essay theorizes that the people flocked to qanon
I feel like like the QAnon stuff swept up huge swaths of otherwise unconnected conspiracy theorists. Flat earth, chemtrails, aliens, all the “classic” conspiracies just kind of got co-opted and folded into the big crazy tent of insane people.
yup. that’s exactly what the second half of the video is about
It’s kind of a bummer. Aliens and Bilderbergers and Government Mind Control used to be fun little thought experiments to smoke a J and play what-if with your friends; but you can’t even bring that stuff up anymore without someone thinking you’re serious and bringing up adrenochrome or (((Globalists)))
This timeline sucks, I want to go back to when everyone knew the X-Files was a TV show and fascists kept their brainrot on AM radio.

Edit 2: y’all taking the low hanging fruit when y’all know time cube is the most unhinged. If you don’t know about how the earth has four simultaneous 24hr days duirng one rotation in sixteen space-times then I don’t know what to tell you.
There’s nothing unhinged about Time Cube. It’s just so obviously true. 4 similtaneous rotations, 4 corner earth days. Circle times square.
Either you need to read it again, or else you’re part of the conspiracy of suppression.
Please be careful when making jokes, it may see harmless rubbish, but at least one person committed suicide due to their obsession with this stuff.
With Time Cube? I didn’t know that. You’re right, people who get really caught up in conspiracy theories can be vulnerable.
yeah the article in this thread mentions a young man who got into it and “differed” from the original guy who them got upset at them
Well that was a rabbit hole
I only stuck my head in the and got the same feeling I did when I watched the first 30 mins of Lost. I stopped before going all in.
Someone should pitch it to Netflix.
Flat-earthers, and I see it as the most unhinged for one simple reason:
It seemingly has no – Stakes?
Like
With every other conspiracy, whether it be related to 5G or Fluoride in the Water or Vaccines or whatever, there is someone who is consolidating a shit-ton of power or wealth through their conspiring, y’know?
But with Flat Eartherism… ? Like. Imagine you got control of every educational institution. You use it to convince people the planet is the wrong shape. And by doing that you gain… – What exactly? It just seems pointless? We know what people do when they have power to manipulate people on that level, because history tells us. And they generally don’t bother with the shape of the planet.
The point, for believers, is just to know stuff the sheeple don’t and feel superior. It’s a smug club, they could have picked anything to be contrarian about. It’s unfortunate that they’ve picked a very measurable thing, so they occasionally self-own with experiments. It doesn’t change their mind, though, because being right isn’t the point.
To keep us from going to the moon, which is both a projection, but behind that projection is the actual gold reserves.
To keep us from reaching the ice wall, or beyond it, to the outer realms and to the hollow earth(According to my source, it is easier to climb down the outside of the ice wall to reach the hollow earth than to dig through the earth’s cortex) (And yes, according to my source, the flat earth is floating on top of the hollow earth).
Oh, and to keep the aliens and the secret elite safe and out of reach. Also, Epstein isn’t dead, he was extracted by the powers and moved down there as well, so he doesn’t tell anyone about the horrors under our feet.

So are the Ice Walkers on the other side of the ice wall? Those dudes were scary.
Or maybe it’s more Viking Lore Ice Giants. Even more frightening.
They’re usually also Biblical literalists, who believe that their infallible God-authored Bible says the Earth is flat (“four corners”, covered in a dome, etc), thus the globe is an attack on Christianity. The worldly institutions are all controlled by the devil, who wants Christians to doubt their Bible and their belief in God.
Yikes

Microsoft, the state of South Dakota, and the Freemasons have been infiltrated by the Unified Buttjones Imperial Court (UBIC), formed in 1834 by the merger of the Imperial Buttjones Society and the All-Ireland Industrial Arsing Federation. UBIC agents camouflage themselves as janitors, assistant product managers, or beagles, and spread an invisible green slime over toilet seats to infect the minds of their targets. Through this mental infiltration, they obtain control over the vazween or pony-flavored sector of the human soul, creating Inter-Vazween Buttjones Networks (IVBN) through repeated application of the Greater Invoking Pentacle of Pony Erotic Revelation (GIPPER). Using an apparatus constructed from illegal immigrants, UBIC uses the IVBN and GIPPER to insert bugs into Windows, Masonic initiations, and the Lewis & Clark State Recreation Area. Anyone who denies this obvious truth is a buttjones.
I’ve been feeling that my vazween was a bit out of kilter recently! I KNEW I shouldn’t have used that public toilet…
fubo is a buttjones. Dispatch and neutralize.
Oh, is this the new Scientology doctrine now?
I think they’re still on Bawdy Satans or something. Fools!
If you work hard and long hours for the company, you’ll advance in your career and become esteemed leader and collect rich rewards.
Man! Way to cast a dark cloud over an otherwise lovely morning.
I kid. That’s a good one!
The Mandela Effect is pretty wild, but it’s also the most explicitly mental-health issue adjacent of an already “are you sure you’re ok?” field.
There’s an addendum to the theory where essentially you keep walking through worlds forever, quantum erasure style, never dying from your perspective, merely getting older and older.
Thing is, if this was actually true, we would see old people everywhere (as observers of their non-erasure).
But what if you are the main character but everyone else is not?
It would mean then that of all the infinite worlds you walk through, the Simon that you meet is never the main character Simon.
It’s possible, given the nature of infinite infinites, and assuming a full hierarchy of universes… I just find it unlikely.
Surely two main characters will walk each other at some point, and given an infinite lifespan, surely one of them is bound to be alarmingly old.
There was no one responsible for JFK’s assassination. His head just randomly exploded on its own.
He tried to hold in a sneeze
Nuh uh, it was a body double clone that he operated remotely, and JFK accidentally hit the contingency plan button, detonating a small explosive charge in the skull.
Flat Earth.
It’s not the most immediately shocking, not the most colorful and dramatic, but there are two factors where no other conspiracy theory can compete:
- It is so easily falsifiable that basically more people would have to be in on the conspiracy than not.
- Nobody would stand to gain anything from the lie.
Yeah, at least with something like the fake moon landing conspiracy, there is a clear motive for it. Like the USA and USSR both had very strong propaganda machines and really strong incentives for hitting the next space race milestone.
The tech was barely advanced enough to perform the functions necessary to complete the mission, everything was pushed to its absolute limits to successfully perform.
But the flat earth thing has none of that. The tech necessary to demonstrate the curvature of the earth existed thousands of years ago and in fact was believed pretty widely by even ancient peoples.
There exists no motive, no incentives, and requires believing that basically all of known physics is completely wrong despite thousands of obvious counter-examples.
Just stupid.

there’s too much competition for the MOST unhinged… off the top of my head:
- JFK was going to rise from the dead (or was secretly still alive) and would show himself as the true secret leader of America and would side with Trump and jail the Clintons
It was JFK Jr, and it was very clearly started by a typo the Qrazies made for RFK Jr, which makes it all even better
Zombie JFK would get my vote.
Maybe Nearly Headless Nick could be his VP.
Stalin single-handedly starved 8 million+ Ukrainians, Russians, and Kazakhs in the 1930s to stop some nationalists.
