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.
I was on a civ 4 modding discord talking about what I thought was the game's rather late introduction of the ancient egyptian faith, when the conversation eventually turned into the guy saying that the ancient sumerians and pre christian vikings actually believed in the same gods because "Loki" and "Enki" sounded similar, and apparently similar theological structures were also found in countless other cultures including the fucking mayans for some reason? Apparently this meant that sometime well over 10,000 BC there existed some globe spanning super culture and the only reasons archeologists don't talk about it is literally because they're too prideful to admit they were wrong
It was one of those things where obviously I wasn't even arguing with someone grounded in reality at that point so I shut up but what the fuck? This doesn't make sense for countless reasons
I read a book on reiki healing back in the 90's wherein the author posed the theory that beings in the Hindu pantheon were six-armed humanoid extraterrestrials who came to Earth and imbued Neolithic-era humans with fabulous secret powers.
