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)

    its been years now, I am fine, thanks. I am almost more certain that it was covid now than I was during the early part of the pandemic... but I sound like a nut when I talk about it with people. I have also met another healthcare worker who got sick in October of 19, after caring for a person who had come directly from Wuhan, but no.. We are supposed to believe that the first covid case in the US was in March of 2020. I think it was all over the place early on, and China was the only country that had the sophisticated equipment, and the desire, to ID it. When people get a virus in the US, they never look for something novel. It would be expensive and it would also put the hospital out of business, like what happened to the Texas hospital that had a case of Ebola. The people who run hospitals are very often slimy corporate types who would literally trade lives for a bit of extra profit
