What's a low stakes conspiracy theory you believe? (hexbear.net)

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)

The US intelligence community uses the same mechanisms to control US elections that it's used all around the globe. JFK's assassination was a coup orchestrated by Allen Dulles and people loyal to him in response to getting fired, and every president is informed of this upon taking office, as a threat.

Oh wait, you said "low-stakes" and "conspiracy theory" and not "important facts."

geordi-yes Every incoming president is shown footage of the Lincoln assassination in 4k ultrawide.

Higher dimensions aren't real and can't hurt you.
