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)

        That's why sumo is the best, if they're in the top division they're almost always on PED. Makes it fairer lol

        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.

      In football there's definitely the chance for referees to make bad calls, especially pre-VAR. There were so many blatantly incorrect calls in the 2002 World Cup when hosts South Korea played. Denmark was also blatantly screwed to get England into the finals at Wembley, which was particularly bad since now we have VAR. You don't want to get me started on how many times I think this has happened in F1, 2021 season finale was one that was obvious and in recent memory, but I think 1994 and 1999 were also pretty bad examples.

      The Danes have only one recourse - Re-form the Great Heathen Army and take over England. Again.
