Conspiracy theories are purposefully circulated in order to create dissonance and divide people so that we forget about legitimate issues. -u/good-evening-clarice

Michael Jordan didn’t “retire” to play baseball. He was serving a suspension related to gambling and he and the league agreed on a mutual cover up because he was too valuable a marketing asset for the league. They didn’t want to tarnish his image. -u/AccusedOak04

That chapstick companies make their chapstick to actually chap your lips so you need more of their chapstick...bastards. -u/Captain-Hornblower

There is at least ONE giant creature deep down in the ocean that we don’t know about because we have never seen before. Like maybe one of those megalodons/plesiosaurs. We thought giant squids weren’t real until we found one. -u/StreetIndependence

Whether they realize it or not, even the most sincere people that do reviews for stuff within a certain hobby/interest don’t provide their real opinions. If they’re too negative about too many products, companies won’t send them stuff. If they say stuff too far outside the groupthink of their community, people won’t want to watch their channel anymore. As a result, most of them are simply putting their own spin on what the general consensus tends to be. -u/SharpieKing69

Some modern art is priced so high because rich people utilize it for money laundering. Saw it on a Reddit conspiracy comment and I haven’t been able to shake it since. -u/Jeffmaru

Facebook used the outage as an opportunity to delete any emails, memos, or other work product that would be incriminating in the event of a subpoena. Employees were locked out of the buildings. -u/nopantspaul

That my dad might be alive. He supposedly died in 2009. He was a huge paranoid conspiracy theorist to the point where he would bury his money, planted bushes to hide behind incase the government had a shoot off with him, and at one point thought we all had been replaced by clones. The only people who saw his body are one of my aunts and my grandma who had Alzheimer’s. They told us he was cremated and at the funeral there was no coffin, no urn, all there was was a black and white photo from when he was 10 (he was born in the 50’s). I’ve yet to see his urn or death certificate and it’s been 12 years. He had connections to people who could have easily helped him fake his death, he also had the money to do this. People have also supposedly seen him in Indiana (they took a picture and tbh the guy looks just like him only a bit older, same hunchback, same tattoo on his leg, and he even walked with the same little limp) -u/Silent-Ferrets

That incompetence and self interest is responsible for most of the bad shit that happens in world politics rather than conspiracies. -u/randomnameandnumber

I am convinced that the electronics items sold at steep discounts on Black Friday are the ones that don't test as well at the factory. Like, when they do quality control tests, the ones that rate 90% or whatever are the ones that are tagged and sent out for Black Friday sales. -u/snowycub

I’m convinced that theme parks/fairs/carnivals pay people to walk around with giant prizes to make the games look more winnable and convince more people to play. -u/ Pineapple_Cheesecake

Lately, Disney has been trying to revive the old “steamboat Willy“ version of Mickey Mouse through merchandise and new cartoons drawn in the old fashion that nobody really asked for. I think they are doing all of that deliberately so that they can try to fight the scheduled copyright expirations on their old cartoons. -u/Kmlevitt
