We've got a bunch of new people now so let's bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

I'll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

Frosted Flakes are not great, they're just paying Tony the Tiger to say that.

John Harvey Kellogg was a surgeon who performed circumcisions. He believed they were an effective treatment for "addiction to masterbation".

There are conspiracy theories (misconceptions?) that he popularized circumcisions in America. Or that Corn Flakes were created to curb masterbation urges - because they are so bland that obviously no one would want to jerk it after eating that.

Idk where I'm going with this, but John Harvey Kellogg was a weird fucking dude.

Dating apps deliberately match you with incompatible people so you keep returning and paying for premium.

there’s no way this isn’t true. i have personally experienced this on those apps.

I think the story about the passengers fighting back on United flight 93 is fake and it was shot down by the military.
