A large part of our experience on the internet involves separating the wheat from the chaff: the truth from fiction and facts from lies. We’re constantly thinking, evaluating, and analyzing the information we read, see, and hear, even if we’re not always consciously aware of this.
Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen the rise of ridiculous conspiracy theories like the debunked link between 5G and Covid-19. Nonetheless, various conspiracies, big and small, continue to fascinate people. A simple fact that some people might forget, however, is that some conspiracy theories turn out to be true. And at that point, they simply become… theories.
Reddit users shared their opinions on some conspiracy theories that they personally think are “too logical to ignore.” We’ve collected the most interesting speculations to share with you, Pandas. Have a read, have a think, and let us know in the comments what you think about all these theories.
Bored Panda reached out to Steven Wooding for a chat about conspiracy theories. He is a member of the Insitute of Physics in the UK, as well as a member of the Omni Calculator Project that creates things like the Weird Units Converter. Steven told Bored Panda that the first step anyone should take when evaluating a theory is to check out fact-checking services. "I can recommend PolitiFact.com and FactCheck.org," he said, adding that right here is a nice list of additional fact-checking websites.
"I think that while reading the news every day, we should never forget that the world is a complicated place. The events that occur are usually the result of multiple processes rather than a single cause," Steven said. Scroll down for the rest of his insights and why we should be suspicious of theories that focus only on a single cause for something.
Remember, just because something sounds logical doesn’t make it true. On the flip side, something that sounds weird isn’t automatically false. And above all, take everything that you read on the internet with a grain of salt. Do your due diligence and double-check any and all facts that sound iffy to you, no matter where you might find them.

The true conspiracies are right in front of our eyes. The extent of corporate control over the democratic process is no secret but we’re all too busy debating the moon landing, flatearthers and anti-vaxxers.
Steven told Bored Panda the type of interpretation of reality that recognizes only a single cause as a factor in political, social, or historical change is known as monocausal. Reality is often more complex.
"If a theory explaining an aspect of reality has monocausal tendencies (or even shamelessly presents itself as monocausal), it is highly likely to be wrong. We should develop a habit of thinking about this every time we hear a theory supposed to explain some 'hidden truth' to us. Then, if you think to yourself, 'Wow, that sounds pretty monocausal!'—it's a sign you should do your research."
Steven believes that people's fascination with conspiracy theories has to do with the desire for simplicity and clarity in an overly-complex, often-muddled world. "The world is complicated: many processes are going on that we don't have time to follow, don't have the knowledge to explore, don't have an awareness of their existence. Conspiracy theories are usually simple: in their worldview, one cause determines everything (the world is ruled by lizard people, etc.)," he explained.

That civilizations have risen and fallen far earlier than we currently are aware. And that ancient civilizations were way more capable than we give them credit for.
Mohammad Ammar 2 years ago
Ancient civilizations were just as smart as us. Idk why people act like they were apes. Industrialization and colonialism spread knowledge and technology across the world and made humanity seem collectively advanced. If we had no way of reaching one another some nations would still be far behind. It could be that some civilizations had a similar breakthrough in science but died out before preserving or spreading that knowledge.
"They present (at least at first) a clear and lucid vision of the world—often based on Manichean [good vs. evil] opposition. They give the false impression of thoroughly understanding and explaining the world in a simple way." Other reasons for the spread of conspiracy theories include teleological thinking, e.g. thinking about the purpose of something rather than its cause. Although Steven doesn't think that the moral aspect (that's the "good vs. evil" part) isn't the core element that explains why conspiracy theories are so popular, there's still a strong correlation between the two.
"Studies prove that people who believe in one conspiracy theory are much more likely to believe in another. In this sense, I think that every conspiracy theory is wrong. They differ only in scale, but they are all part of the same mechanism."

There are theories that many famous female stars who were blacklisted (Megan Fox is a good example) were blacklisted because they refused to sleep with directors and producers.

a friend of mine wanted to start her career in TV, she started with commercials and ended up in a quiz show as an image girl. the very famous quiz presenter used to organize lots of (let's called them) " staff parties " where it was more let's see who he can easily F. First time she went to one of those parties she refused to be "nice" to him and that's where her TV career ended. that was back in the 90s. now she is a happy mum :)
Joseph M. Pierre, a professor of psychiatry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, told Bored Panda during an earlier interview that conspiracy theorists tend to focus on certain events when twisting the truth for their own purposes.
“It is true that certain historical events do tend to attract conspiracy theories and there is evidence that times of societal upheaval or crisis when people are feeling unsafe and desperate for clarity offer a kind of fertile soil for conspiracy theory beliefs,” he said.

David Miscavige, the chairman of the Church of Scientology definitely murdered his wife and is getting off scott free for it. Him and his wife got into a pretty heated argument in 2007, and she hasn’t been seen since. Lawyers hired by David claim she is still alive and devotes 100% of her time to work at the church of scientology, which is why she hasn’t been seen since August 2007. In 2013, a former member of the church had filed a missing person report that was closed after a few officers had “spoken and seen Mrs.Miscavige”, even though there’s no evidence whatsoever of this meeting. All missing person’s reports now are turned down since this investigation is forever closed.

The fashion industry makes too much money from purses to care about making pockets for women easily available
“Over the past 60 years, the assassination of JFK, the death of Princess Diana, and 9/11 are the most obvious examples of national traumas surrounded by conspiracy theory beliefs. We should acknowledge that many conspiracy theories, like the idea that the Earth is flat, aren’t really based on any kind of obvious traumatic event,” the professor explained to Bored Panda.
“People who believe in conspiracy theories are also often attracted to the Manichean narratives that conspiracy theories offer, involving battles of good and evil pitting against each other in an almost apocalyptic fashion. So, it should come as no surprise that conspiracy theories might sprout up from World War II—a real-life apocalyptic battle between good and evil,” the expert said.

With the number of millionaire/billionaires that are psychopaths or similar, there must be a few super rich serial k***ers out there.
By extension there must be people making money supplying victims in the same way Epstein was supplying girls to the wealthy who wanted to scratch an itch.

So my dad actually confirmed a popular conspiracy theory.
I told him about the “laundry detergent caps have the full line too high on purpose”, and he told me this was true. He interned at P&G, and they taught him the full line was for “the highest level of cleanliness our product can give”. You can get away with using much less detergent.
Meanwhile, Lee McIntyre, a Research Fellow at the Center for Philosophy and History of Science at Boston University, told Bored Panda that when debating conspiracy theorists like Flat Earthers, you should ask them upfront what evidence they think would be enough to prove them wrong.
“I used that question in person at FEIC [Flat Earth International Conference] 2018 and it was very telling. Most of them just said ‘proof’ and I said ‘proof of what?’ They couldn’t be specific. This shows that their beliefs weren’t really based on evidence in the first place,” the expert said how conspiracy theorists tend to think.

That the world is controlled by s select few ultra rich. Of cause it is because they are doing all the back door deals making each other even more money.
“At one session I heard many Flat Earthers talk about losing family members, getting kicked out of their churches, losing jobs… who would do that for fun? These are hardcore science deniers. As hard as it might be to accept, there are people who believe this stuff and are willing even to put their lives on the line for it! One rocket guy crashed trying to prove Flat Earth. They aren’t pretending,” McIntyre told Bored Panda.

I quite like the missing cosmonauts theory. It's unlikely but seems like it could have been possible. It boils down to the idea that Yuri Gagarin wasn't the first man in space. He was just the first man in space to survive the entire process.

Quite likely, but at least one of the more famous "missing cosmonauts" was a hoax. There were supposedly audio recordings of a female cosmonaut burning up after a malfunction on their ship but it was found to be (iirc) an Italian woman faking the recording for a radio station.

Aussie here. I remember reading about it in a thriller novel about the FBI, a few years ago. I was shocked! *insert shocked pikachu face*. I asked an American friend what she thought about it, and she said "oh yes, it's well-known". Apparently, MLK had so much support with his civil rights movement, that the government were terrified that he'd run for President and win. America could not handle a black President back in the '60s.

There are plenty of records of the FBI and CIA hating Dr. King. They illegally spied on him and recorded his every move. They made many moves against him. This is one conspiracy that I can admit is somewhat likely, and I consider myself skeptical.

Actually when the King familied sued to get their hands on all the FBI documents about MLK, it showed the FBI had no reason to want him dead. They had him fully bugged, and enough dirty to blackmail him a thousand times over (lets just say the Reverend may have had a thing for white prostitutes and the FBI had hundreds of hours of secret recordings with audio. Also they had other dirt as well). Him being alive suited them the best, remember Hoover loved to blackmail and manipulate. THe dirt he had on MLK was right up his alley, killing him was not.
ForgotMyPWSendHelp 2 years ago (edited)
Explain what the actual f*** you are talking about? The FBI's files on Dr. King have never been released. Multiple parties have attempted to have them opened to no avail. His extra-marital affairs were well-known, even in his time, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever he had a thing for white prostitutes. Please shut up and stop making yourself look like a fool.

Google Maps only asks you for feedback on its navigation when it knows it did a good job.
I use navigation all the time, and I find that when it gets me to the destination on time or earlier than predicted, I get a notification asking to rate the trip. But if it gets me there after it originally estimated, I never get that notification.
“Conspiracy theories have been around since Nero in the Roman Empire. They pop up in times of turmoil or mass unrest when people try to make sense of the world, but can’t. Flat Earth is in some ways just a run-of-the-mill conspiracy theory. They’ve all grown in popularity because beliefs (even fringe beliefs) are reinforced by peer approval, and that is now readily available on the internet. Virtually all of the flat earthers I met were converted based on Youtube videos. Some then went to the conferences. After that, they were ‘down the rabbit hole.'”

This one is small and local but still too insane to ignore and just came up today.
Just recently, our small suburban town’s favorite gas station went out of business. Everyone went there, the guy who ran it was the mayor. He retires and sells the property after an issue with the ground underneath the gas pumps. They tear down the gas pumps and keep the garage, Mavis Tire bought the property and opened a new store.
A few days after the Mavis opens, someone posts a picture on Facebook of an intersection at a road near it with nails all over the road. The guy theroizies that a box of nails fell off of a construction truck. The police come clean it up and it seems all is well. Fast forward a few days later and people are commenting on the post that they’re finding nails in their car tires. Not just from that intersection. People jokingly say “maybe it was the new Mavis guys throwing nails around” but nothing really happens.
Several weeks later, people have been posting day in and day out pictures of nails in their car tires. My dad took my car in to the Mavis in question about 3 weeks ago and they found a nail inside of the right front tire. I noticed that it was driving sort of funny but never that my tire was on the verge of exploding.
I jokingly said “people have been saying you guys have just been going around throwing nails all over the place” trying not to laugh at how insane it sounded to say out loud. The guy behind the counter said nothing but “yeah” with a weird smirk.
Over 50 people have posted on the town Facebook that their cars have had nails in their tires. My mom is driving my car now because her car has a nail in the tire.

According to the expert, conspiracy theories can go viral and ‘infect’ new people. “It’s important to remember that these pathologies of human reasoning exist not just to defend themselves but to proselytize new members. They are virulent. They are infectious. I wish Flat Earth were the worst of them, but it isn’t. It’s the scourge of our age. And it will only continue to get worse.”

9/11 was allowed to happen so the government could go ahead with political agendas that would've been very unpopular otherwise. There were all kinds of advanced warnings that an attack was imminent, yet they were ignored.
The attack allowed for the invasion and never-ending occupation of the Middle East, as well as the Patriot Act that allows for increased spying by the government (and was passed only about a month after 9/11).

Saturated fats and cholesterol aren't particularly bad for you, but a very politically aggressive and ethically deficient scientist named Ancel Keyes staked his career on the idea that they were, published studies with egregiously poor methodology (In his landmark Seven Countries study, he specifically picked those countries which best supported his aims while ignoring those countries that didn't) and waged a very aggressive campaign to destroy the careers of detractors (Famously Dr. John Yudkin-- who wrote "Pure, White and Deadly", a book on the dangers of dietary sugar).
Today, scientific nutritional authorities continue to drag their feet on revising the conventional medical wisdom due to the erosion to their own authority that this would represent.
Ancel Keyes was more singularly responsible for obesity in the US than any other person.

McDonald's shake machines are never actually down, the night crew people are just too lazy to clean it
Kirsty 2 years ago
Used to be McDonalds crew and there are two things that'd knock it out of order. 1. The syrup needs changing. To change the syrup you need to open a pressurised container and get it in and out of a tangle of syrup lines, if one pops off it's a couple of hours cleaning. Only certain staff are trained to change out syrups and you never wanna do it during a rush as people will trip over you. 2. The shake mix ran out and you're either waiting for someone to get out the ladder to top it up, or its been topped up and your waiting for it to reach temp, takes around 45 mins. That whole machine is disassembled and cleaned every night, all removable bits left in sterilising solution over night and reassembled in the morning. That cleaning involves various runs of boiling water and cleaning solutions being run through the lines. This is in the UK.

my teacher had a theory about this when someone started talking about aliens in class one day. he said that the way that they "time travelled" is by them being able to travel faster than light, using Einstein's theory of relativity, which would allow them to travel back in time, to our age. And the reason why they would want to do this is because there might be some sort of plague/pandemic which they can't seem to get rid of, and they need to figure out what went wrong, and that's why aliens abduct humans/cows. Needless to say, he was an interesting teacher, he actually didn't teach any conspiracies or force it upon people, and before he explained that theory, he said "IF aliens do exist"

The 40-hour work week was established as a maximum, not a minimum. Today, companies expect people to work a minimum of 40 hours, generally 8 hours per day. It's gotten so bad that some people "flex" about working 80 hours per week, as if it makes them better than everyone else. After work, make dinner, do the dishes, help the kids with homework, go to bed. Repeat. This leave you no time to question the status quo...or take action to change things for the better.

Here's a true one. Car manufacturers are aware of fatal flaws but never bother to fix them. Like Vauxhall when the Corsa and Zafira would set on fire, trapping the driver inside due to the self locks. This was known, but it's cheaper for them to pay compensation to the victims than it is for them to change the entire line of cars. So they are aware of the risks but allowing people to die makes more financial sense.

Here's something I've never heard mentioned, so I'm going to take credit for the thought. If extraterrestrials visited our planet in ancient times, one has to consider they documented what they saw since they must've had the technology to record and store images. That means one day, if the aliens make themselves known, mankind might see the pyramids being built, footage of dinosaurs, or ancient Rome, among thousands of other images. One can only hope this is the case.

This post doesn't fall under the header of conspiracy, however this government ( it's the only one I have experience with) had designed our society to keep us in debt, to keep us working. Mortgages, credit cards, student loans, refinancing, monopolies, insurance premiums and many more than I can think of. Getting out of debt helps more than you know. Rule of thumb: if you have to charge it, you can't afford it, so don't. This brings peace and a piece of mind. Plus not having debt is very freeing. The fact that most of us, are just on paycheck or hospital bill from homelessness. Ive changed my mind. This is a conspiracy!!!

I know that you've got to take ancient history, especially that written by the Romans, with a grain of salt. A lot of foreign societies that we know about mostly from Roman writings were lied about to make the Romans think their own society was superior, that everyone else were 'barbarians'. They did this a LOT, to cement their supposed superiority. Back then, there was no way for people to know any better unless they travelled themselves. Remember: History is written by the victors. Another problem is later generations going in and changing things to suit them.

Here’s a theory of my own- Shinichi Shimomura was(?) a Japanese video game designer that worked for HAL- the company behind the Kirby series. He was the director of 3 games that Kirby fans have fandubbed the Dark Matter Trilogy. However, he disappeared after Kirby’s Nightmare in Dream Land. Vanished. Gone just like that. My theory is that either he left HAL, or the more grim possibility- he died. There’s barely any info on this dude, and while he worked with Masahiro Sakurai (he created Kirby in the first place, before moving on to Smash Bros), Mr. Sakurai hasn’t worked on anything Kirby related since Kirby’s Air Ride, if we aren’t counting Smash. There’s a chance Mr. Sakurai COULD know something about whereMr. Shimomura went after Nightmare in Dream Land, but you’d have to organize an interview or something. He might not even know at all. I don’t know if my theory is true or not- I just hope Mr. Shimomura is okay-wherever he is now.

There's a conspiracy theory that Justin Trudeau is the son of Fidel Castro, maybe you've heard of it before. When I heard of it I scoffed and said that it couldn't be real, but when I looked it up...everything really does fall quite interestingly into place, and it really hasn't been disproved as far as I know. There's a really good article that dives deeper into this. According to it, " Justin Trudeau was born on Christmas day, 1971. In order for his father to be Fidel Castro, his mother would have to be somewhere close to Cuba in March and April 1971. She was. In April 1971, the Trudeaus took a long “second honeymoon” all around the Caribbean. According to Wikipedia, they visited one island they declined to disclose. It is the only island they did not disclose. From Wikipedia: 'In 1971, the Trudeaus took a second honeymoon in the Caribbean to Barbados and an unidentified nearby island..'

Spanish conspiracy so most wont be interested. I believe that Juan Carlos, the ex king of spain, was behind the militar coup that happened after democracy was stablished. He made it so it it worked he would be the new dictator and if it didnt work he would win popular support by "stopping it".

Wouldn't surprise me! He has done too many things and exile is not enough punishment imo! If he was not royal he would be in prison

The 40-hour work week was established as a maximum, not a minimum. Today, companies expect people to work a minimum of 40 hours, generally 8 hours per day. It's gotten so bad that some people "flex" about working 80 hours per week, as if it makes them better than everyone else. After work, make dinner, do the dishes, help the kids with homework, go to bed. Repeat. This leave you no time to question the status quo...or take action to change things for the better.

It's not a conspiracy it's actually a fact! It was indeed established as maximum

Here's a true one. Car manufacturers are aware of fatal flaws but never bother to fix them. Like Vauxhall when the Corsa and Zafira would set on fire, trapping the driver inside due to the self locks. This was known, but it's cheaper for them to pay compensation to the victims than it is for them to change the entire line of cars. So they are aware of the risks but allowing people to die makes more financial sense.

There was a movie with this story line, I forgot the title, but I will forever remember the title given to the people in charge of doing the math between calling back and fixing, and paying compensation : they were called "pea counters"... 😳

Most of these are just garbage. Stay skeptical. It is interesting to see what people believe, though.

a) "Logical conspiracy theory" is an oxymoron, and b) most of these examples are not conspiracy theories.

Here's something I've never heard mentioned, so I'm going to take credit for the thought. If extraterrestrials visited our planet in ancient times, one has to consider they documented what they saw since they must've had the technology to record and store images. That means one day, if the aliens make themselves known, mankind might see the pyramids being built, footage of dinosaurs, or ancient Rome, among thousands of other images. One can only hope this is the case.

This post doesn't fall under the header of conspiracy, however this government ( it's the only one I have experience with) had designed our society to keep us in debt, to keep us working. Mortgages, credit cards, student loans, refinancing, monopolies, insurance premiums and many more than I can think of. Getting out of debt helps more than you know. Rule of thumb: if you have to charge it, you can't afford it, so don't. This brings peace and a piece of mind. Plus not having debt is very freeing. The fact that most of us, are just on paycheck or hospital bill from homelessness. Ive changed my mind. This is a conspiracy!!!

I know that you've got to take ancient history, especially that written by the Romans, with a grain of salt. A lot of foreign societies that we know about mostly from Roman writings were lied about to make the Romans think their own society was superior, that everyone else were 'barbarians'. They did this a LOT, to cement their supposed superiority. Back then, there was no way for people to know any better unless they travelled themselves. Remember: History is written by the victors. Another problem is later generations going in and changing things to suit them.

My sister is a doctor of infectious diseases, I told her (as a giggle) that Covid was invented by them to justify their medical careers and give something other to do then deal with the oldies STDs. She had a very big giggle. Big shout out and thank you to those helping to keeping us going.

Here’s a theory of my own- Shinichi Shimomura was(?) a Japanese video game designer that worked for HAL- the company behind the Kirby series. He was the director of 3 games that Kirby fans have fandubbed the Dark Matter Trilogy. However, he disappeared after Kirby’s Nightmare in Dream Land. Vanished. Gone just like that. My theory is that either he left HAL, or the more grim possibility- he died. There’s barely any info on this dude, and while he worked with Masahiro Sakurai (he created Kirby in the first place, before moving on to Smash Bros), Mr. Sakurai hasn’t worked on anything Kirby related since Kirby’s Air Ride, if we aren’t counting Smash. There’s a chance Mr. Sakurai COULD know something about whereMr. Shimomura went after Nightmare in Dream Land, but you’d have to organize an interview or something. He might not even know at all. I don’t know if my theory is true or not- I just hope Mr. Shimomura is okay-wherever he is now.

My theory is that whenever something major happens in your/my country, it is always a cover up to distract media and public of something more significant. The major incident includes Celebrity controversies, etc that has zero impact on the lives of individuals, but all the media gives them attention. My theory is that Celebrities are Created to keep people distracted from real world, real problems.

I have been working to make my conspiracy theories Practical. My theory is that Conflicts between countries or within a country are created by the Army, governments and the Weapon industry. Army so they keep the defense budget high and weapon industry... U know why. And the governments so they have a topic to distract the public towards an enemy from their inhumane and selfish policies. Like the conflict of Kashmir between India and Pakistan can be resolved but No one wants it since it keeps the military budget high due to the constant threats of war. And

my conspiracy theory is that no one is truly "ugly". the golden ratio crap is based on eurocentric features and the SOLE reason that people get cosmetic surgery is because of the narrative pushed by the media to line the surgeons and beauty industries pockets. No one is ever getting unnessary invasive surgery that has weeks to months of pain and a high death rate ( e.g bbls) because they " want it for themselves" bruh its soooo obvious that the surgery and the big butt trend was pushed by the media. if you lived in a secluded remote area away from the internet ect. i know for a fact that no one, absolutley no one would find themselves ugly, because beauty in itslelf is a social construct, and ugliness is a term used to make certain people richer than they already are

There's a conspiracy theory that Justin Trudeau is the son of Fidel Castro, maybe you've heard of it before. When I heard of it I scoffed and said that it couldn't be real, but when I looked it up...everything really does fall quite interestingly into place, and it really hasn't been disproved as far as I know. There's a really good article that dives deeper into this. According to it, " Justin Trudeau was born on Christmas day, 1971. In order for his father to be Fidel Castro, his mother would have to be somewhere close to Cuba in March and April 1971. She was. In April 1971, the Trudeaus took a long “second honeymoon” all around the Caribbean. According to Wikipedia, they visited one island they declined to disclose. It is the only island they did not disclose. From Wikipedia: 'In 1971, the Trudeaus took a second honeymoon in the Caribbean to Barbados and an unidentified nearby island..' " Also look up pictures of Trudeau and Castro side by side, the resemblance is striking.
