My stepfather has lost his shit and gone from accountant to flat earther. This has evolved from glass dome above the earth that caused the Challenger explosion to some new shit. Enter the ２０４０ Ｐｈｏｅｎｉｘ Ｅｖｅｎｔ. Every 140 years there's a cataclysmic event which changes the fundamental nature of the planet. This cycle is so powerful that it actually destroyed the Mayan civilisation. In 2040 it's due to happen again and the ONLY place on earth that will be safe is Egypt.
But what was the last thing that happened in 1900, you might ask.
The 1908 Tunguska Event in which an asteroid air burst above Siberia and killed a few reindeer herders.
But 1908 is 8 years after the 140 year cycle and 1900 was pretty uneventful, you might say.
Bit idea:
Guy who believes in all sorts of boutique conspiracy shit but thinks JFK and 9/11 and the big ones were totally above board
Guy who believes the Epstein logs are real but all the pedophile shit is just a smoke screen to cover for the alien infiltration
That's literally like half the tech bros I've talked to. The worst example being one guy who is convinced Palestine secretly has nukes
