JUst had the old walmart premises are now Fema camps theory said to me apparently seriously in the wake of people being sent to old walmart spaces as a result of hurricane Harvey.Don't think i was familiar with the old theory before that.

That's not a conspiracy theory, that's good government. Would the taxpayers prefer the camps be built from scratch, on lands seized through eminent domain?

this one seems to have peaked already but i've been thinking a lot about the mandela effect, particularly because this berenstain bears thing freaked me out a bit

it's a fun rabbithole but idk if there's anything more to it than "difficult to spell last name spelled differently than you think"

Many people think the Queen song 'We Are the Champions' ends with the phrase, "We are the champions..... of the world." However, it may shock you to know that there is no 'of the world' at the end.

haha yeah that "...of the world" thing did legitimately freak me out for a while until I actually listened to the song. c'mon
like half that list is just "I bet you thought this word was spelled like THIS, but actually..."

From a Wall Street Journal article about the neo-Nazi rally in Poland last weekend: 'The Radical Camp’s followers argue, on their social-media accounts and in their literature, that the influx of Syrian refugees into Europe is part of a conspiracy driven by Jewish financiers, who are working with Communists in the European Union to bring Muslims into Europe, and with them, Shariah law and homosexuality.'

many people think chartreuse is close to maroon, and i did too when younger. i don't think this means we live in the matrix but it's fascinating to ponder how this misconception was propagated.
― ur-oik (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 15 November 2017 22:19 (six years ago) link
Like many people I got a little obsessed with the Mandela effect for a time, it's fascinating because of how stupid it is, in a way that feels very current somehow. I know a lot of conspiracy theories are dumb but here the stupid definitely outweighs the crazy, all these Reddit morons spinning wild theories about the ~strange phenomenon~ of... misremembering something

Is it ok if we talk about George HW Bush? Whats this think about paedophilia with young boys being taken from care homes to the white house, or similar?
It feels like every conspiracy theory ends up somewhere close to Bush I, and its not surprising. Reluctant to look into it too much (why does the right have such a fixation on this?!), esp with all the pizzagate palaver. Anyone got a primer?

No paedophile conspiracy theory has ever amounted to anything iirc

queen died over xmas, tories persuaded the palace to keep it quiet till after the article 50 announcement: election was called, they asked for an extension and the palace very reluctantly agreed
everything turned to shit, they are stuck with it -- the lookalike stand-in is getting fed, she's old and planned to retire properly
(i don't really understand why the palace is so willing to help theresa may out in this narrative, but there it is)

xp reminds me the story of the ottoman sultan who died, and to avoid tumult while they got their fraught succession process in order, they propped his body up so he could be seen at a ceremony in topkapi palace and moved his arms like a puppet to quell rumours of his demise amongst the janissaries.
idk why we don't replace the queen with a robot tbh

yeah, mandela being released from jail was a massive news story. from my recollection of childhood it could really only be compared to things like the falling of the berlin wall (judging this purely on how often it was on the news and how big a deal was made of it).
personally i also saw him on a stage in george square dancing in 1993 so that helps too.
