35 Annoying Myths And Conspiracies That People Really Need To Stop Believing Aside from everything in the bible itself, my mom told me that bibles could not burn because they contained the word of God so God protected them from being destroyed. She told me there were many instances of entire houses burning down but the bible(s) remaining intact and virtually unscathed. So I burned a bible when I was about 8 years old. Myth busted!

35 Annoying Myths And Conspiracies That People Really Need To Stop Believing My MIL got mad at me for reaching up high to grab something while pregnant because, "That'll wrap the umbilical cord around the baby's neck!"I told her that no part of my anatomy directly connects my arms to the inside of my placenta. She didn't believe me so I googled to show her it's an old wives tale. She got upset and cried. :/ Sweet lady but damn. Use some common sense

35 Annoying Myths And Conspiracies That People Really Need To Stop Believing I can't decide which one of these are worse.

- Having a discussion with a friend and his buddy about Bruce Lee. Then the topic of his death comes up. The conspiracy theories start to fly but it didn't really get too ridiculous until my friend's buddy piped up.

"Bruce Lee actually died when he set himself on fire while cooking hot dogs. They covered it up because no one wanted to think that the world's greatest martial artist would have done that to himself. But anyone who does a little reading will know this."

- At work we were discussing fighting games. The one guy then blurts out that the reason Asians are so good at these games is that the machines are built by other Asians to have *genetic decoders* built into the buttons. Once the machine verifies that you are Asian, the game gives you unfair advantages over your opponent. He was completely serious about this theory. When he was finished talking, there was a good 8 seconds of complete silence until my friend piped up and says, "That's.....got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard."

When she asked what about people with mirror image PINs and PINs such as 4444 he still maintained that he was right. No actual answer, just insisted he was correct.

Freemason here.

I am constantly amazed by the people who claim that Freemasons have some kind of New World Order conspiracy going on. The only thing even *more* amazing is how people who are **not** Freemasons can describe to me in detail how the entire conspiracy works, except that I, myself (you know, the guy who's *actually* a Mason), don't know about it because I'm apparently not high ranking enough.

For those who don't know, there is no "head" of Freemasons. It's a fairly loose conglomerate of Grand Lodges which oversee local lodges. In the US and Canada, each state/province has it's own head 9Grand Lodge) - there isn't any national head. In Great Britain, England, Scotland, Ireland each have their own Grand Lodges. There's no head of the organization to flow down any kinds of instructions.

Also consider: Local lodges are filled with (mainly older) members of the community, like your grandfather, uncle, the neighbor across the street, etc. Generally, I'm amazed that the local lodges can successfully plan a charity fund raiser (or sometimes, even a picnic). Planning a far-reaching extra-government conspiracy is, well, you know. Just nuts.

35 Annoying Myths And Conspiracies That People Really Need To Stop Believing Birth control pills will cause the downfall of society.

As my sociology professor explained, "Birth control pills let women have all the sex they want and don't have to worry about having babies, and there are more and more women who are using them and never settling down and having families. With no women getting pregnant anymore, the government will have to step in and start creating a workforce using cloning technology. These clones will grow up in a government-controlled school and trained to be mindless automatons whose goal in life is to work and to serve their government masters - they will be chemically neutered so that they aren't concerned about sex and marriage, and they will all be the same race."

Funny enough, he never thought about what would happen when the government officials die off and there are only clones left.

I met my new downstairs neighbor a few months back. He asked for a ride to work, I obliged, and well, let's just say i learned a lot about him in around ten minutes. The very first thing on the drive that comes out of his mouth is this, "Okay so you know how there are organic beings floating around in the sky that can travel thousands of miles an hour and make 90 degree turns within the blink of an eye? Well I think the government is going to tell us that they are angels and that they are good for humanity. Because angels are supposed to protect us right? They gain our trust. The thing is, I think they are actually demons who told the government to tell us that they are angels, so we think we are safe and protected for the alien invasion that is sure to come. But the aliens have been here working with our government for years now, and this is all their idea to keep us regular citizens more manageable."
This was only the beginning.

tl;dr - My downstairs neighbor has 'yo dawg' conspiracy theories.

Unfortunately, I am seeing this more and more in elderly people. My mom and several of my friend's moms are all "drinking the kool-aid" on all these conspiracies about aliens, the government and some new financial system we are supposedly getting. It makes me more sad than angry. If my mother from 10 years ago heard her say some of the crazy c**p she does now, she would be appalled. She even found a local group that all have the same theories!

I'll add my own "crazy s**t" story. We ate "Kosher" and one day my parents said we can not eat cheese anymore. Because...wait for it....wait for it...ENZYMES! The manufacturers might be using Pork enzymes to make cheese. Me; Why would they use pork enzymes when cow enzymes are already there to make the cheese? Plus the cost to add those enzymes and replace the cow enzymes would make the cost very prohibitive. Thier response; Oh, they will do that to *forgot some bogus reason*. I was fairly independent by then, despite being a teen. told them I thought it was ridiculous and I was going to buy cheese with my own money and that was it. Six months later, they finally admitted what they were "told" was incorrect. Didn't get an apology, but never expected one in the first place. After High School I went directly into a University (a hard one to get into I may add) and they didn't even know I was in a University, they thought I was in a JC.

I remember going through a period around ages 11 to 14, where I would have believed every one of these conspiracy theories.

I almost envy people who stay in that credulous mindset. There's something fun and magical about it.
