I have recently heard of this theory that the women who prcreated with the angels (the ones who created the nephilim) were cast into the sea and had their legs closed so they could no longer reproduce and we call them mermaids/sirens.

Also, the Leviathan is real and alive and is the reason we are no longer exploring the ocean.

    I don’t find them entertaining any more. It’s clear they exacerbate mental illness in vulnerable people.

      Yeah, it’s like asking “what’s your favorite acute symptom.” The question kind of implies that something has gone thoroughly wrong.

    7 World Trade Center. Tower 7 was damaged during the collapse of the adjacent main towers, after which fires raged for several hours. Eventually, it collapsed. The conspiracy theory is that the building was destroyed using hidden explosives, much in the same way as the conspiracy holds for the main towers. The catch is that no one was in Tower 7 when it collapsed and no one was killed or injured during its collapse, making it a conspiracy to just destroy some barely significant New York real estate. Essentially, the point of the conspiracy is just that if it were not a conspiracy, then conspiracy theorists would be forced to admit the conspiracy surrounding the main towers is also less plausible.

    My favorite is a pamphlet printed and distributed by Sam Adams warning the white colonists of the King’s secret plan to make them slaves.

    I like this one because it reminds me that conspiratorial “thinking” in American politics is not a new phenomena.

    I like small conspiracies that have no explanation and are irrational. Here are a few that I’ve seen with a guy I know IRL:

    The GDPR was meant to kill the internet. Or the European internet. I don’t know how but this guy was very proactive and deleted his whole web site in retaliation. He had a web site to sell stuff, now he has no web site anymore. The fun stuff is that he was already GDPR compliant.

    Vaccines against COVID were developed to kill old people. The proof I was given is “I have read on the internet that a 90 years old guy got a vaccine and he died!” Oh my god, that guy was 90 and he died? That’s totally unexpected.

    The hollow earth. It’s a fun one since it exists since forever and got a revival thanks to the nazis. I can never understand why a rebellious “don’t tread on me” idiot would blindly follow nazi theories.

    Last but not least, Bluetooth is sending radiation to do “something,” (don’t know what) and is giving that guy bad headaches in the process. When he comes into our house, he’s surrounded by Bluetooth but has no headaches, go figure.

      When i had trouble with my router, i googled the issue and landed on a forum where someone had similar issues. Obviously someone said: have you tried to unplug it and plug it back in. She answered: yes, i unplug it all the time when i don’t use the internet. The other guy replied: you know, your router only consumes this much energy, so if you leave it plugfed in, it’s this much per month and this much per year which costa you this much money, so it’s probably not woth the hassle to unplug it every time.

      The other person answerd: it’s because of the dangerous radiation, you dumbass.

    Your example is mythology not conspiracy.

    What do you mean we are no longer exploring the ocean?

    Now I’ll share my favorite legit conspiracy theory. The Titanic was a rebuilt insurance salvaged ship, previously known as the Britannic.

    Wind turbine syndrome. People living below wind turbines suffer from headaches, dizziness, nausea, and loss of sexual function… but only if they’ve been told that people living below wind turbines suffer from headaches, dizziness, nausea, and loss of sexual function.

      When i was like 10, we didn’t have a very good cellphone reception where i lived. It was rather common back then, mobile betworks weren’t the same as they are now. They announced a new antenna to be build in my hometown. They set a construction date, a date when they were finished, and a date when it’s operational. On the very date, boomer aged people sent in angry letters, where they described horrible headaches, Insomnia and whatever sickness they got from the bad microwaves and whatnot. The phone company answered with: we’re sorry for the inconveniences, but the antenna isn’t operational for another month or two because of technical difficulties

      • the Russians were watching closely and had every reason to call the US out on it if they were lying
      • due to the limits on the size of film reels, it would have been impossible to record a take as long as what was broadcast
      • they left retro-reflectors there which we can bounce lasers off

        • the Russians were watching closely and had every reason to call the US out on it if they were lying

        This would indicate that it did happen

        • due to the limits on the size of film reels, it would have been impossible to record a take as long as what was broadcast

        This would indicate that it didn’t happen

        • they left retro-reflectors there which we can bounce lasers off

        Anyone can do this with a powerful enough hobbyist laser?

        Overall what are you suggesting with all this?

          All 3 items are evidence it happened.

          The Soviets did not object to the claim.

          The landing was broadcast live by radio waves, not from a film reel.

          No, no hobbyist has a capable laser with narrow-enough collimation and, more importantly, a sensor sensitive enough to detect the reflection. But many scientific groups in other countries have the equipment to do so to verify or dispute the claim. It’s used to measure the distance to the moon precisely.

    Epstein isn’t dead.

    He blackmailed someone into faking his death and getting him out of jail. There are plenty of candidates from Mossad to the president of the USA. He’s keeping a low profile, and if he’s ever found out, he’ll ruin someone, perhaps several someones.
