    My favorite self made up conspiracy of the moon is:
    As we all know the moon is moving away from the earth slowly each year but that means it was once much closer perhaps so close even that it rolled along the surface of early earth, pushing down on creatures that were lazy and didn't get out of the way into the ground giving us fossils.

    When the dinosaurs disappeared it wasn't from an apocalypse they just got tired of being squished and dino capitalism and decided to grab onto the other side of the moon as it rolled by and are now stuck up there.

    And that's why the government won't let us go to the moon. Because they don't want us to meet our dino comrades.

        Thank you.

        I know, the evidence is outstanding. Truly the final leap in logic when you really look at the pieces.

      the moon is made out of cheese.

      goverment cheese was never made to feed the poor or to bail out dairy farmers,
      it was used to built the set where they faked the moonlanding.

      and now they feed it to the poor to get rid of the evidence.

    There's a scientist with a knife approaching you at a speed you're uncomfortable with.

      I can't remember which comedian said this but he absolutely loves talking to flat earthers. Whenever they bring up the moon being too small, etc., he bursts out laughing and says, "You believe in the moon?!"

      Also in this model, the sun and moon cannot be seen in the sky at the same time, except during an eclipse. And the stars never change through the seasons, they are fixed points that look the same no matter where you are at on Earth.

    You never hear about all the planes that crash into the moon, that is clearly in the sky why does the government cover up the truth?

    There is a great story about that by the great writer Italo Calvino called 'the distance of the moon': https://irenebrination.typepad.com/files/calvino-italo-cosmicomics.pdf

      In that story, sometimes the moon would be so close, that if you would jump on the right moment you would be taken up by its field gravity.
