I dug too deep this time, delved deep and greedy in my unending quest for truth. I hear the helicopters overhead and the black suited men hammer at my door as I type this, pistol in hand, You must know. I need to tell you all the truth, even if they kill me...

So in 1969 NASA landed a capsule on the moon and did the whole "One small step for man" thingy, except seven years later a bloke named Bill Kaysing claimed NASA faked it, and then in 1980 The Flat Earth Society started the claim that Stanley Kubrick did it. Since then it has quickly bloomed into a much more prevalent belief.

It's convincing theory right? They did it in a desperate attempt to get ahead of the Soviets, NASA realised they could only win the space race if they faked it.

What if I told you that you're being lied to?

The man I mentioned earlier, the one who started it all, Bill Kaysing, was a navy officer with no background in rocket science who alleges to have an inside scoop. He claims to've worked at Rocketdyne when they were manufacturing parts for the Apollo mission, and that the projections gave a 0.0017% chance of them making it to the moon. But people took it with a grain of salt 'cos they only have his word for it.

So just going off this navy guy's hearsay wasn't enough for the longest time. And then NASA stopped landing on the moon, and suddenly the scepticism of the moon landing flares up like petrol tossed on a roaring bonfire.

So what happened?

The US government started circulating these conspiracies is what happened!

The stalling of progress for manned missions presented NASA with a difficult situation where they were making new discoveries but none of the flashy ones that'd get 'em the big grant money/public support.

The machiavellian scheme the CIA concocted was a simple one - if you can make the public believe you didn't land on the moon before, landing on the moon again looks way more impressive.

Big government is lying to you with their moon landing hoax hoax!

Do not let them control the narrative!

I can hear screams, crashing, gunfire echoing in my back garden, it appears one of the government cronies sneaking in out back has fallen down the pitfalls I've dug. It's only so long until they break through the front door.

Good luck my friends, and may the truth prevail.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
