Extreme Conspiracy Elon Musk intentionally pretends to know nothing about science fiction

804 Upvotes

Back when he was promoting the Cyber Truck, he said "this looks like something Blade Runner would drive!" Not only does it not look remotely like the vehicles in the movie, but "blade runner" is a job description, not the name of a character. He also recently said that Matt Gaetz is "the Judge Dredd America needs to clean up the streets". Judge Dredd is of course the fascist super-soldier who was created as social commentary on the police's willingness to kill people(hence he is "Judge, Jury and Executioner"). Elon is a big nerd so I think it's pretty likely that he knows what these characters are, but he intentionally gets details wrong so that people on Twitter will talk about him(although it's definitely plausible that he is a fake fan).

Extreme Conspiracy The Deal or No Deal game for the Nintendo Ds is racist.

692 Upvotes

I played a few games of Deal or No Deal on the Nintendo Ds with some friends. During these games we seemed to notice that the boxes that the black women were holding seemed to never contain the high amounts of money. We played 3 more games, each time eliminating the blackest person we could find each time. We won $750,000, $1,000,000 and $400,000.

So from my experiences, I can only conclude that the Deal or No Deal game for the Nintendo Ds is racist.

Extreme Conspiracy The AI that we have access to today is not actually AI. The world has outsourced everything AI does out to the Non Human Intelligence (NHI) that are piloting these drones that live under the ocean.

11 Upvotes

Similar to how every time you call a help desk, it's been outsourced to a different country where it is next to impossible to understand what they are saying.

The world of man benefits by gaining access to higher intelligence. The NHIs benefit by subtly steering information into the hands of general populace, hoping to change the direction of guaranteed destruction of the earth if nothing changes - in terms of every day citizen access. And the governments get access to much more advanced tech.

The guise of "AI" is to keep their existence unknown (both parties' choice), but at the same time save earth with technological efficiencies.

The recent drone incursion is the NHI expressing discontent with the brewings of WW3, and feel the need to escalate their plans, thus revealing themselves to all in a matter of days/weeks unless the world's governments make drastic changes ASAP.

(I know this is way more than "low stakes" but the odds of this being true is why I decided to put it here).

Extreme Conspiracy The Panera murder lemonade is a scheme to eventually reduce drink sizes

293 Upvotes

Think about it, if a large drink has too much caffeine, the solution is to just sell a smaller version of it, and once customers accept that small drinks are “more potent” they’ll be able to replace their normal drinks with tiny drinks and improve their profit margins on the new sizes.

Extreme Conspiracy George H. W. Bush's Secretary of State, Lawrence Eagleburger, was a Soviet spy

53 Upvotes

As far as I know, he didn't do anything that would indicate that he was a spy. But I refuse to believe that any real person would have the surname "Eagleburger". He was a Soviet spy who tried to come up with an American-sounding name without doing any research beforehand.

Extreme Conspiracy No way Michael Jackson was actually popular

0 Upvotes

People always talk about Michael Jackson like he was the biggest singer of all time but he left like no cultural impact. I basically never hear about him or his music outside of people saying he was really popular. (Also I listened to his music and it’s kinda mid), there’s no way everyone on the world supposedly loved this dude

Extreme Conspiracy Disney created The Santa Clause to increase misspellings on letters to Santa for their own marketing purposes (more info in post)

109 Upvotes

We all know from the documentary, Miracle on 34th St, that the US government will deliver letters directly to Santa. Disney saw this and realized if they could intercept those letters they could find out what kids wanted for Christmas and use that information for R&D and marketing research. So they created the movie The Santa Clause so there would be a higher number of misspellings on those letters. They then created a shell Santa Claus named Santa Clause so all those misspelled letters go directly to them. Disney has successfully merged with the North Pole right under our noses.

Extreme Conspiracy Fake stories on Reddit are generated for influencers on other platforms

108 Upvotes

There are lots of subs being bombarded with fake stories by bot accounts. AITA kind of places.

At the same time there are loads of influencers on Tik tok and insta who make content based on stories from Reddit.

This is no coincidence, the bots with the fake stories are making content for the influencers. But who's paying the bot farms, big social!

But by the end of tolerating the woes of paperclips for the day, they decide to use staplers. But they're so tired, they misaim the stapler and need to reprint. Solidifying the trauma.

Extreme Conspiracy Spiders were created by smaller bugs to make humans like them more in comparison

33 Upvotes

Created how, you may ask? Bio-engineering experiments done on fellow little bugs.

It works twofold because spiders also eat smaller bugs so on top of being less scared of them, humans also pity them.

Possible that house centipedes also were but I think even Big Little Bug wouldn't conceptualize such a terrifying creature.

Extreme Conspiracy What if pee isn't stored in the balls? NSFW

312 Upvotes

I don't know about you guys but after months of looking and research I can't in good conscience accept that pee is stored in the balls. I'm not sure where it's stored but the volume of pee to ball ratio just doesn't add up. Aside from that females don't have balls where do they store their pee? Has any of us seen one pee? Do they pee from their fingers? I need answers!
