I just love how the conspiracies reinforce each-other in the most convenient ways.
“Anyone who doesn’t get vaxed is going to be put in a FIMA concentration camp!”
“What? That’s crazy, where’s the evidence of that?!”
“You can’t find it because they’re censoring everything on the Internet.”
So now, not finding evidence of conspiracy 1 is evidence for conspiracy 2!
“You can find the truth at www.truthfindarz.net, but I don’t go there because it’s full of conspiracies.”
facepalm
I’m disappointed that’s not a real link lol
I don’t believe a lot of conspiracy theories, but I do have some conspiracy hypotheses
I have conspiracy speculations
That’s what they want you to believe!
Also: when conspiracy theories are convenient ways to avoid havig to understand how things work.
And this a very common mindset, because most societies (some more than others) take children’s* innate curiosity and pound it flat for the sake of efficiency by way of standardisation. It really is a shame, since we waste a lot of potential as a species this way.
e: a word
It’s only a conspiracy theory if it’s not a proven conspiracy.
Its only a conspiracy theory if its more than one guy.
It could be girls!
Not a native speaker but “guy” is gender neutral for a while now, at least on the variety used online. At least from what I know
Litmus test is the “Would you have sex with a group of guys?”
If you’re picturing a orgy with hairy people holding shlongs, then it’s not gender neutral.
“Guy” is used differently in different contexts, just like “girl”.
If someone says “the girls had a sleepover” you know they’re probably talking about female children. If someone’s talking about a girls’ night out, you know they’re almost certainly talking about women.
"Would you have sex with a group of guys?” is using guy as a stand-in for man. But, if someone said “Guys, can we all just quiet down for a second so Stan can speak?” it’s a synonym for “folks” or “people” or something gender-neutral.
Litmus test is the “Would you have sex with a group of guys?”
Dipping the tip into a group of guys and checking the color.

You are correct but you can’t get away from pedants online.
I know because I’m one of them.
Well then you’re not my friend, guy.
Oh no
I’m just glad to see “whoa” spelled correctly.

Throwing a line from Hitman in the mix to make it more confusing:
“If it looks like a conspiracy, it probably isn’t.”
Why does it look like that then? Tananananana 🎵
Good use of Keanu meme, as he recently fell for and is promoting a conspiracy theory (ancient civilizations).
Wrong use of meme
Conversely, everything is a conspiracy when you do understand how things work.
It’s important to understand the prevalence of coincidence and incompetence. Humans are exceptional at pattern-finding – too good, really. In order to think critically, we need to recognise our own tendency to find patterns where none exist.
