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."

'I am sure Reddit admins put their thumb on the scale to get the other comment to win."- frodosbitch

Mystery DNA Collection...

"When I was in middle school some group came and had every kid in the grade fingerprinted and mouth swabbed as a 'If My Child Goes Missing' packet for the children and parents."

"We got a copy of our fingerprints with our name on a form."

"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."

"Got one as a gift once, handed it right back."

"NOPE."- nomadiceater

"Look it up. It makes sense."

"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

Seriously though, who actually uses change?

"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."

Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene—once the conspiracy theory-spewing, QAnon-embracing apple of MAGA's eye—announced on Friday her intent to resign and retire from Congress effective January 5.

In the wake of her almost 10-minute video announcement, an anonymous senior House Republican said many others in the party have also grown sick of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump and his incompetent, petty, glory-hogging administration.
