What's a low stakes conspiracy theory you believe? (hexbear.net)

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)

the “Paul is dead” conspiracy about Paul McCartney

is that some kind of creepy pasta?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

1960s stuff that one of the Beatles died and was replaced by someone who looked the same. People got way too into it saying the Beatles put clues everywhere, like the cover of their albums. The one I've always heard is that Paul McCartney is barefoot and out of step on the cover of Abbey Road because he represents a corpse. And there's a license plate of a car with the letters LMW which is supposed to be "Linda McCartney weeps." It is kinda like creepy pasta before they existed, just people going nuts with pattern recognition.
