Well that was a rabbit hole
I only stuck my head in the and got the same feeling I did when I watched the first 30 mins of Lost. I stopped before going all in.
There’s nothing unhinged about Time Cube. It’s just so obviously true. 4 similtaneous rotations, 4 corner earth days. Circle times square.
Either you need to read it again, or else you’re part of the conspiracy of suppression.
Please be careful when making jokes, it may see harmless rubbish, but at least one person committed suicide due to their obsession with this stuff.
With Time Cube? I didn’t know that. You’re right, people who get really caught up in conspiracy theories can be vulnerable.
That there is an all powerful supreme being that demands our worship or else we will suffer for all eternity after our death.
Yeah. That’s the worst.
They used to hang out with flat earthers and earth centrics, but I’m guessing they had to cut out some of the crazy stuff to appeal to larger audience, with the less tangible stuff.
Phwoar watch you don’t cut yourself on that edge
Thought terminating cliche. Used when you cant engage with someones argument.
Semantic stop signs, if you like.

What’s gonna happen, will your nonexistent god smite him?
My god is Islay cheddar
It doesn’t do much smite as persuade you to take statins
Eric the God Eating Penguin already killed them all. We are safe.
Good old Eric.
“Everything will be alright.”
Donald Trump is really Andy Kaufman method acting.
I’d actually be less mad, I think, if it turned out to be a Kaufman prank.
I’d still want him in prison though.
Flat-earthers, and I see it as the most unhinged for one simple reason:
It seemingly has no – Stakes?
Like
With every other conspiracy, whether it be related to 5G or Fluoride in the Water or Vaccines or whatever, there is someone who is consolidating a shit-ton of power or wealth through their conspiring, y’know?
But with Flat Eartherism… ? Like. Imagine you got control of every educational institution. You use it to convince people the planet is the wrong shape. And by doing that you gain… – What exactly? It just seems pointless? We know what people do when they have power to manipulate people on that level, because history tells us. And they generally don’t bother with the shape of the planet.
To keep us from going to the moon, which is both a projection, but behind that projection is the actual gold reserves.
To keep us from reaching the ice wall, or beyond it, to the outer realms and to the hollow earth(According to my source, it is easier to climb down the outside of the ice wall to reach the hollow earth than to dig through the earth’s cortex) (And yes, according to my source, the flat earth is floating on top of the hollow earth).
Oh, and to keep the aliens and the secret elite safe and out of reach. Also, Epstein isn’t dead, he was extracted by the powers and moved down there as well, so he doesn’t tell anyone about the horrors under our feet.

They’re usually also Biblical literalists, who believe that their infallible God-authored Bible says the Earth is flat (“four corners”, covered in a dome, etc), thus the globe is an attack on Christianity. The worldly institutions are all controlled by the devil, who wants Christians to doubt their Bible and their belief in God.

The point, for believers, is just to know stuff the sheeple don’t and feel superior. They could have picked anything to be contrarian about; it’s unfortunate that they’ve picked a very measurable thing, so they occasionally self-own with experiments. It doesn’t change their mind, though, because being right isn’t the point.
The Mandela Effect is pretty wild, but it’s also the most explicitly mental-health issue adjacent of an already “are you sure you’re ok?” field.
There’s an addendum to the theory where essentially you keep walking through worlds forever, quantum erasure style, never dying from your perspective, merely getting older and older.
Thing is, if this was actually true, we would see old people everywhere (as observers of their non-erasure).
But what if you are the main character but everyone else is not?
The fast food chain Dairy Queen is different than those branded “DQ”. It is not a real Dairy Queen unless it is written out fully and does not use the DQ logo on the store. I will not elaborate further nor eat at DQ. There are still a few real stores in really small towns.
Great now I have to check out my Dairy Queen.
Don’t you mean your Donkey Qong?
real stores
You say real, I say old. Potato-tomato, tomahto-potahto, let’s go have some real snacks.
I feel like flat earthers might be the most insane one I’m familiar with - I don’t keep up with the conspiracy-verse though.
Dan Olson did a great video on flat earthers. With a mid-video twist on why you don’t see as much of them anymore as you used to
Production wise it’s one of my favorite video essays
What happened? Did a bunch of them fall off the edge?
I wish.
In case people don’t want to get spoiled:
spoiler
The essay theorizes that the people flocked to qanon
I feel like like the QAnon stuff swept up huge swaths of otherwise unconnected conspiracy theorists. Flat earth, chemtrails, aliens, all the “classic” conspiracies just kind of got co-opted and folded into the big crazy tent of insane people.
yup. that’s exactly what the second half of the video is about
It’s kind of a bummer. Aliens and Bilderbergers and Government Mind Control used to be fun little thought experiments to smoke a J and play what-if with your friends; but you can’t even bring that stuff up anymore without someone thinking you’re serious and bringing up adrenochrome or (((Globalists)))
This timeline sucks, I want to go back to when everyone knew the X-Files was a TV show and fascists kept their brainrot on AM radio.

I feel like QAnon keeps upping the ante on the term “unhinged”
Qanon is like a clown car of unhinged conspiracy theories. Every time you think “Wow, that’s bananas what kind of blood lead levels do these people have to fall for this?” they trot out something even more deranged/racist/fascist.
when even The Onion doesn’t want to keep up with them
JFK’s head just did that.
As in there was no shooter? That is unhinged
JFK’s head just doing that is a conspiracy cooked up by the CIA to downplay their involvement in his head head doing that
migrane is no joke
That proves we are in a simulation!
The admin just set $Earth_NA_US_POTUS_JFK.Body_Head.explode to $true in the console.
“Israel is the most moral army in the world”.
Much like flat earth, Zionists have crafted an entirely alternate reality to justify their Nazi-like worldview by making up new lies daily to justify their previous lies being debunked.
The amount of mental gymnastics Zionists perform to pretend israel is following international law is absolutely breathtaking. For every debunk of their lies they come up with a new lie until the lie is so advanced that you need to sit through a 6 hour debate with Norman Finkelstein until they admit that “they actually don’t care about international law anyways and it’s antisemitic”.
The official 9/11 conspiracy theory… Literally would need to change the laws of physics for it to be true
There’s an official conspracy theory?
Yeah… The official theory from the Bush administration= a conspiracy theory… It defies logic and physics. Check it out if you’re interested
Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams, it was a controlled demolition, yadda yadda.
That’s certainly a part of it

That’s a big part of it… For me the smoking gun is building 7
My pet conspiracy theory that California does not exist. It was invented by democrats to pad their electoral votes. Any one who has traveled there actually went to a staged area in Oregon. Anyone who claims to live there is either brainwashed or in on it. Maps, globes, etc. have all been altered. Satellites have special software that adds California to its images. Spacecraft windows are actually screens that digitally alter earth to add California.
Once you consider that California is allegedly the location of Hollywood and movies often create convincing, fake worlds, it makes sense. Hollywood was created to take advantage of the tech developed to fake California and continue funding the conspiracy…

I haven’t been able to find this theory again because searching for it brings up the moon landing conspiracy, but some people think that there’s a second, fake moon which is why the moon rises and sets twice a day.
which is why the moon rises and sets twice a day
It…but…that’s…
Huh?
That’s no moon…
Qantas used to have a ‘u’ in it, but they changed their name so now you don’t even know!
