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)

      Even without explicit drugs, rich teams can afford so much absurd bullshit - high altitude training, hyper specialized diets, expensive training facilities, that calling what happens “competition” is just farcical. Just let them all do drugs, it’d make things more exciting. I want to see how far a human being really can jump before their tibia snaps like a reed from the stress put on it by their own muscles.

      I am 100% on team “Everyone involved in the Olympics organization at a high level gets the wall”. It’s a mobile humanitarian disaster of graft, violence, enforced poverty, to say nothing of all the cheating but technicalyl it’s not cheating.
