Australia is in the wrong place, mate

 

Which are the most stupid conspiracy theories? Difficult to say, since the competition is pretty damn stiff. However, strong candidates would include the Mandela effect, flat earthism, the Moon landing hoax, and pretty much everything about Great Tartary and the Mud Flood. 

Even "the face on Mars" was "better", since those who believed in it could at least point to photos of the Mars surface where one strange structure *did* look like an alien face. They had pics to prove it. But what the heck do flat earthers have? A Kansas corn field? Sure, I concede that it *does* look flat...

Some of the above conspiracy theories are extremely multifaceted. The Mandela effect includes pretty much everything that has been misremembered or misunderstood by larger groups of people. For instance, that Australia looked different on older maps. Yeah, that´s because there´s more than one map projection, bruh. Or that certain lines in old movies feel "wrong" when the movie is rewatched 30 years later. Yeah, that´s because your memory isn´t flawless. Or because the movie exists in several different versions. Or because you confused it with MAD magazine´s parody version. And what about the Bible? Didn´t the Lord´s prayer use to sound differently? Well, yeah, probably. That´s because there´s more than one Bible edition...

Or maybe you´re a loser who lives in a trailer park together with low IQ White trash? I´m kidding, but seriously, find another hobby!

In a similar vein, Great Tartary and the Mud Flood seems to be a veritable Oak Island treasure trove of misinformation about our past. Was Stonehenge really built after World War II? Were the Napoleonic Wars actually a nuclear war? You get the picture. 

I happen to have an open mind concerning the supernatural or paranormal. But if people make up so much shit about natural events, how can I trust them when they speak of supernatural ditto? But perhaps I´m looking at this the wrong way. The fact that people are bad observers and serial confabulators might mean that something unknown, something strange, supernatural even, could be hiding from us. Perhaps in plain sight.

Maybe that´s the real conspiracy.
