It's easy to roll our eyes at the ludicrous things people still somehow believe.

For instance, the earth is flat, or the moon landing never happened.

All of which are nothing more than sensational conspiracy theories with no facts to back them up.

That being said, even those who laugh at others for believing ludicrous things often still believe a conspiracy theory or two of their own.


Redditor Exact_Suggestion305 was curious to hear the conspiracy theories people adamantly believe, leading them to ask:
"What's a conspiracy theory you believe is 100% true?"

"Several years back, Samuel L Jackson did an AMA."

"He announced it a few days before and said he would read, up to 300 words, any statement that was the highest voted."

"The initial comment that was in the lead was a series of words for a gps system."

"Left, right, turn, 1,2,3,4,5 etc and of course motherf*cker."

"Halfway through though, another comment took the lead and ended up winning."

"It was a rather bland announcement that he was retiring from acting and taking up a life of crime fighting."

'Till the end of time, I will believe that his team said there was no way he was going to read a script that would immediately be posted to create a product that he would not get paid for."

"And the sticker from that form was put on the tubes the mouth swabs would go back into."

"They set up in our gymnasium and the whole school of about 500 kids did it."

"I believe that was just a super easy way to get biometrics on the population before cellphones became popular."

"This was early mid 2000s."

"I’ve always wondered exactly who got that dna."- Equivalent_Seat6470

"I’m still convinced all these DNA test kits will be used/sold as a means to do things like deny medical coverage, plant evidence at crime scenes, population surveillance on a biometric level, etc."

"Rich person buys an art piece for $1,000, turns around and values it at $1,000,000, then sells it to a private buyer for 1.5x it's value."

"The buyer pays with a form of legal tender (cash) that cash has now been cleaned and is in the rich persons pocket, then he goes and commissions more art and repeats the cycle."

"After 5 years he has cleaned more money than offshore accounts, shell corporations, and high cash flow businesses could in 50 years."- Weird-Replacement-61

"The 'coin shortage' is just a way to have us all move to using our debt/credit cards and digital currency 100% of the time."

Harry Potter star unapologetically woke

The Harry Potter fandom breathed a collective sigh of relief when our favorite Herbology professor, Miriam Margolyes, reaffirmed her “unapologetically woke” status on Ireland’s The Late Late Show with Patrick Kielty.

Known for her candor on everything from her love of Laurence Olivier to her beef with John Cleese, Margolyes has also been outspoken in her solidarity with the people of Gaza. Appearing on the The Late Late Show last Saturday, the Age of Innocence and Harry Potter star reminded audiences why she remains one of the most fearless voices in entertainment.

It's been a hallmark of his career in business—leading to multiple legal entanglements over fraud, the dissolution of Trump family charities, multiple financial settlements and fines, loss of his New York business licenses, and 34 felonies.

Eric Trump Blasted After Claiming That His Father And The MAGA Movement Are 'Saving God'

President Donald Trump's son Eric Trump was called out after he, promoting his new book Under Siege, claimed to far-right podcaster Benny Johnson that the MAGA movement his father built is "saving Christianity" and "saving God."

Appearing on the birthday of far-right activist Charlie Kirk—who was assassinated last month—Eric Trump said "so many factors are coming together," lauding his father's recent peace deal in Gaza, which Israel has since violated, as an indication of "peace in the Middle East."
