Like not some shit you saw on the internet half-ironically, but something an actual flesh and blood human said to your face in a real physical space.

I'll start. I was working a service job and I had just finished helping this dude find what he was looking for. Seemed like a normal middle aged guy. After I showed him the product he need he looked me dead in the eyes and went "you know kid all the National Parks have secret bases in them." I just nodded, at first figuring maybe this was some actual real shit, like it wouldn't surprise me if the US military actually did hide some hardware or whatever in the National Parks. "They're filled with Samurai", uh, okay? "You see Japan actually won WWII, no bombs were ever dropped. And now the Samurai have secret radio bases in every National Park, Alcatraz is their headquarters." I decide to just fucking leave at this point and race walk to the back of the store and hide in the managers office. Apparently the dude spent 15 minutes wandering the store looking for me and asking my coworkers where I had gone.

    LMAO great story, the guy was having fun pretending to be deranged.

    I recently was in the greengrocery queue when suddenly a 60-something yo woman started vomiting ALL, I shit you not, ALL the conspirancies about covid / 5G / vaccines I had heard of. She linked them all in such a strong stream of imbecilities that kept going and going, like a huge dam of derangement that collapsed over a poor town, I was completely awed.

    She even said "the virus doesn't exist, but they make rain so there are mosquitoes to make us sick so they can vaccinate us".

    like yeah, we now control the rain, good news people!

      She even said “the virus doesn’t exist, but they make rain so there are mosquitoes to make us sick so they can vaccinate us”.

      I'm confused, so is there a disease or is there not a disease?
