I'm not a conspiracy theory guy but I seen the post on 9/11 on no stupid questions and it seemed more fleshed out than I expected.

So what are conspiracy theories that turned out to be true?

And what are the most believable conspiracy theories out there?

Conspiracy theories I like = Time Cube, Birds Arent Real, Roswell Rods, Reptilian Shapeshifters

Conspiracy theories I hate = Qanon, Agenda 21, Plandemic, Elders of Zion

Conspiracy theories that seem to be very complex/fleshed out = Fake Moon Landing, Jet Fuel Doesn't Melt Steel Beams, Gangstalking

Conspiracy theories that turned out to be true = Tobacco company cover ups, US govt spying on people, various assassinations and political destabilization efforts eg assassination of Lumumba, carpet bombing of Laos, Operation Condor, weird shit like Israel facilitating the funding of Hamas.

A theory created by a schizophrenic dude claiming that we're being educated to stay ignorant of the true nature of time, which can make us immortal.

@aarRJaay the Time Cube website was one of the curiosities of the 1990s internet. According to it, the world actually has 4 simultaneous 24 hour days.

It was kind of like a copypasta before that was really a thing.
