"Moon landing was fake!!!" "You still believe the moon is real?"
This was highly effective when I used it in real life.
The conspiracy theorist got real mad demanding I name sources, I kept telling him to find it on the internet with fake search terms.
I would have screamed "do your own research!" before just leaving.
congress is full of marxist-leninist-pelosi-ists who intentionally cause inflation to distract us from finding obama's birth certificate! google "MLP inflation" if yu don't believe me!
I once got on the topic of the moon lending with a creationist co-worker. He said he wasn't sure, but that if it happened we should be able to see it from satellite pictures. So I said "yeah you can", pulled it up, and zoomed in on a landing site. You couldn't see footprints or anything, but you could see the shadow of the flag next to clearly man-made debris
I showed him exactly what he agreed would be proof in a difficult to fake form, and it just temporarily nudged the needle for him
Now, I fight conspiracies with the opposite conspiracies.
Earth is a 4D hypersphere, the earth isn't hollow, Agatha is just another part of the surface reached by holes
The elites are hiding all the best vaccines, like the ones that cure cancer
I recently watched "Brief history of the Wrong Earths" by Hardcore Sci-Fi, not many of these are well known so you could have so much more ammunition for fooling around like that with people.
"flat earth? Nah, it's expanding bro! Oh wait actually it's 9 hollow earths one in another!"
