Every year the government takes 1 hour away from every American with the implementation of Daylight savings time. They return the hours to each American in the fall. However, in between March (when the hours are taken) and November (when the hours are returned) over 2 million Americans die, and don't get their hours returned to them, or their estates. This happens every. single. year.

What is the government doing with all of these stockpiled hours of dead Americans?

That NASA has done a zero-gravity intercourse experiment.

The 50th shuttle mission had married couple and it included spacelab. A pressurized and habitable module that could be isolated from the rest of the crew. Even before launch they were asked if it would happen, and denied it, as NASA has afterwards as well.

It doesn't help that several of the listed experiments was about human health, developmental biology and included animals and eggs to study ovulation, fertilization, cell division and growth.

I think the US government actively encouraged the UFO craze, because it drew attention away from the experimental aircraft they were testing, like the SR-71 blackbird.

Arcade rhythm games (DDR, Pump It Up, maimai, etc) are subsidized by the Japanese government to get Otakus/NEETs to go out, touch grass, and exercise

Have you ever wondered why you can have 10-15 minutes of game time for the same amount of money as one (sometimes half) a pull on a claw machine?? /puts on tinfoil hat

That a lot of non-american food is rebranded to use tacky american names to get people to try it. Too many americans are afraid to try "foreign" food, but will happily try "Cajun Jim's Cornballs". A couple I can think of are Aioli to "Garlic Mayo" and Chicken Satay becoming "Peanut Butter Chicken". Sounds like mm mm good home american cookin' to me, course I'll try some.

Touch screens in cars are evidence that the auto industry is actively trying to increase auto accidents.

"Big Grass" truly runs the beef industry.

I've seen studies claiming that toilet seats are among the cleanest spots in a public restroom, and that slamming your bare ass cheeks down on those things is perfectly safe.

I also work in an operating room, where we routinely chop condyloma off of people's ass cheeks... albeit less commonly the cheeks than the hole, but enough times to showcase the fact that the cheeks are prone to spreading and contracting contact dependent pathogens.

Those studies are bullshit - always build that toilet-paper-bird's-nest on the public toilet seat.

Edit - also if you get a skin tag that seems bigger than a normal skin tag, it's probably not a skin tag. Get that shit looked at before it's the size of a fucking golf ball. You'll save yourself a lot of time, pain, money, and worry.

Back when reddit had awards, the admins would routinely award posts to make it appear like people were actually buying them.

The sanitation issues that happened at Chipotle in such quick succession a few years ago were corporate sabotage. At the time, Chipotle was the fastest growing chain in the U.S.

Toothpaste tubes and similar containers are intentionally designed to be inconvenient to get the full contents out of.

Taylor Swift is actually a very evil person. Based purely on the fact I haven't heard any bad things about her. 🧐

Microsoft deliberately fucks with your video and audio drivers before a big update so you have to reboot

This isn't a conspiracy, it is a proven fact.

That there are ICE raids frequently carried out at Home Depots because the Trump-loving CEO invites them to the stores. Wouldn't be all that surprising or change much even if it were true.

Edit: apparently i was thinking of the former CEO/founder. The current one seems to be against facism

Yeah... You wanna know why? Because some big shot over at the weiner company got together with some big shot over at the bun company and decided to rip off the American public! Because they think the American public is a bunch of trusting nitwits who'll pay for things they don't need rather than make a stink. Well they're not ripping off this nitwit anymore, because I'm not paying for one more thing I don't need! George Banks is saying NO!

Sometimes in the grocery store I think about this scene from Father of the Bride a lot.

Also I think a lot of people misunderstand the definition of "low-stakes conspiracy."

Princess Diana reincarnated as Jeon Jungkook from BTS

That Pac Man isn't eating pellets, he's eating burritos, but because if you look at a burrito face on, it kinda looks round, and the graphics at the time were so limited... Pac Man is secretly shilling Mucho Burrito (or whatever your local Mexican fast food joint of choice is.)

Mine used to be that Bill Hicks faked his death and created Alex Jones in order to sell out. Doesn’t seem very low-stakes any more

Cats have a much more complex understanding of human behaviour and just consider us harmless and boring enough to not bother.

As in your cat totally understands that your keyboard is special in a way and you don't want it disturbed, but couldn't give two shits about your wants. Or completely being aware of how unpleasant it is when they sit on you with their butthole in your face, but why not if that's what they want to do right now?

I think this is real and that most (not all) cats are smarter and more selfish than we think

Batshit insane conspiracy theories are pushed to discredit all conspiracy theories with actual evidence.

Women's pants have small pockets on purpose to increase handbag sales.

Surveillance of the general public is much, much worse than people believe and the view of being considered weird and paranoid is deliberately encouraged.

The way literature is taught in school is designed deliberately to make people hate reading + studying the subtext and paratext.

By forcing kids to read books that aren't just old, but were written by 40 year olds for other 40 year olds, and then mandating them write reports about the symbolism of a book they didn't even want to read in the first place, you ensure that like 80% of people will inherently associate reading and interpreting media with every negative emotion at once.

Meanwhile you look at fandom dorks on every site and you see how invested on themes and subtext they are, and you realise people kinda naturally want to overthink media... Provided they like that media.

But people who can read subtext and understand it are less susceptible to propaganda. So.

JFK's head just...did that.

This one is kinda well known but I've only recently started educating myself about the subject and came to the same conclusion:

Plants and mushrooms are much, much more effective at healing physical as well as mental diseases than most people think but the powers that be don't want us to grow our own medicine so they claim everything is either ineffective or dangerous compared to what you can buy at a pharmacy.

Mexicans are the future Gauls. The caesarian era was the end of real Roman democracy due to disgusting consolidation of wealth. When all the money leaves the USA for New Constantinople, probably after the Israeli Reich looks like the Ottoman empire, the Mexicans will invade the worthless boot of rotting NA, some time around when the Atlanta beach party scene really gets cranking at end of the world and the capital Denver is weak.
