Spiraling Conspiracy Theories The last couple of months have rekindled my fascination with conspiracy theories. I have always been completely amazed about all the bizarre theories people have been able to come up with about almost everything. I thought it would be fun to enlighten you with some of my favorite conspiracy theories and I hope that they can make you laugh as much as they make me laugh. Beforehand, I want to put a disclaimer stating that I am not a true believer of these theories but just an enthusiastic observer and researcher. One of the oldest and most known theories is about the earth being flat. In my opinion this is too outdated, and the theory of a hollow earth is way more interesting. The idea of a donut-shaped earth sounds way more fun, especially when an entire society seems to inhabit the middle of the earth. If you a’re more interested in a British scandal, the theory that Queen Elizabeth is a cannibal is maybe more for you. Apparently, a private freezer that is stocked with the finest pieces of human meat has been her key to living a long and healthy life for 94 years already and maybe even forever… The third theory is about the shape-shifting extraterrestrial reptilian creatures that have the goal of enslaving the human race. It seems that their strategy consists of impersonating celebrities like Beyoncé and Justin Bieber. With the support of around twelve million people believing without a doubt that this theory is true you can feel completely free to share your ideas of some new lizard suspects. If you are inspired and want to fall into an even deeper hole of conspiracy theories, here are some further suggestions that could inspire your journey: the ice bucket challenge being a Satanic ritual, the Israeli government having a pack of sharks that they can use against their enemies and Jay-Z being a time-traveling vampire. If you want to do some research yourselves, YouTube and Reddit are the holy grails to kick-off your journey for some good laughs.
