Batshit insane conspiracy theories are pushed to discredit all conspiracy theories with actual evidence.
Women’s pants have small pockets on purpose to increase handbag sales.
Surveillance of the general public is much, much worse than people believe and the view of being considered weird and paranoid is deliberately encouraged.

I 100% believe #2 and #3, but especially the #2.
In the movie Moana she hits her head while trying to escape the thrashing waves. when she wakes up she’s on the beach and has magic water powers.
I believe she is actually dying and everything after that point in the movie is a fantasy in her head as she slowly dies. she knows this deep down and struggles with the concept of death immediately after when her grandmother dies, thus sending her off on a journey to save her people (herself).
she then follows Maui who guides her along to the afterlife (even takes a small detour to the underworld). when she finally meets Te Fiti the goddess is in a state of duality (life and death). only after restoring Te Fiti to her living state does she return to her people where they welcome her back to the land of the living.
So Island Coco
pretty much, both coco and Moana die at the end so 🤔 probably an apt analogy.

Uno changes the rules every few years so that people have different ideas of which “house rules” are canon. Being “the game that people argue over” keeps it in the public consciousness much better than “that game that’s kind of fun to play two rounds of occasionally”
I’m actually stealing this as an explanation next time I’m at a house party and someone whips out the uno cards.
Bullshit, uno and its precursor crazy eights is hands down the best card game ever created. We even played that in big groups in jail and had a blast. The house rules thing is bullshit, agree on something beforehand and play, no stress.
I will say that anyone who doesnt play stacking draw cards is losing out on a ton of fun though.
Companies add water to meat to make it heavier so they can charge more.
I once left a pound of frozen ground beef from the farmers market in water but the packaging was damaged, so it was watery. I patted it dry with paper towels. Months later I bought ground beef from a store and it felt like the watered patter dry beef. I even dried it using 2 paper towels afterwards…
This is 100% true. Have had a supermarket GM tell me about how much water they ‘had’ to pump into corned silverside to meet a price point.
I have seen videos of the machines injecting water into shrimps (lots of needles), this isn’t a conspiracy theory!
A similar thing is fat; force-feed cattle quickly and they get a big lump of fat (it will just melt away, but you still pay for it), feed them normally and exercise them and the fat will be in “stripes” and makes the meat taste way better.
If it was just fat! I save all the fat from cooking, but this thing… has no fat!
high-steak conspiracy theory
This is absolutely a thing with chicken. Always go for the “Air-Chilled” chicken if you can afford it.

Frustrating if true, since I’ve heard several people float the same conspiracy while shopping in my store, despite this not being something that we do. The price of meat (at least in Canada) has just risen to absurdities post-pandemic. I don’t even buy it anymore.

My parents have a local butcher in town. It’s about half the price of the supermarket and excellent quality.

There is advertisment in Netflix that is a company saying they don’t do this like other companies. It is real

A company in Canada, Lilydale, used to market their chicken as “no water added”
I think Vince Neil of Motley Crue got a ridiculously short sentence for drunk driving manslaughter because his record company bought off the judge so that they could make money off him performing. I suspect a lot of famous people have that happen.
A lot of coverups seem to happen in high society. Check out the story of Natalie Wood, for instance.
Sheesh I didn’t know that one.

Local parking companies are getting rid of pay machines and forcing apps and QR codes on people so that it’s less convenient to pay. They know people will have trouble so then they can fine people who are “non-compliant”.
They can also make money by tracking the link or better if have an app. If they’re not selling the info then they would at least use it for internal statistics which is fair but we don’t have to support that.
Apps and web sites can also apply custom pricing based on the individual’s ability to pay. Payday? The parking spot costs more.
I like this because the app would also tell them exactly where to come look for the offenders car.
This happened to me. I went through the payment process and finished on a confirmation page. A week later I got a notice that I didn’t pay and was being fined. I looked at my bank statements and sure enough the charge never went through. I didn’t make a big deal of it because the fine was barely more than what I would’ve been charged anyway.
Eipstein didn’t kill himself.
I mean, the stakes seem pretty low right now.
Dude how do we know he’s really dead?

Paul McCartney died in a car crash in 1964 and was replaced by someone who turned out to be a way better song writer.
Isn’t that just, “The walrus was Paul?”
Goo goo g’joob.
We had an art teacher in school who believed this theory and he dedicated an entire day to showing us all the evidence that supported it.
Way better explanation than just personal development 👍
Racial carbohydrate diet. You should eat the carbs that match your ancestors DNA.
I think something cataclysmic happened during the Younger Dryas period and we may never know what but it’s not coincidence there are multiple flood myths that evolved independently. Also, I think humans have been around longer than we realize and we’re in another iteration of the same course of evolution waiting to get out of our Fermi loop.
The whole adding glue to phones and other electronics is the result of Big Glue lobbying Big Tech
