Harmless Conspiracy Theories That Are So Believable
Conspiracy theories can be genuinely dangerous, especially when they spread unchecked on social media, where misinformation can go viral before anyone has a chance to fact-check it. As we have seen in the last few years, these kinds of theories can fuel distrust, incite panic, or even cause real-world harm. But not all conspiracy theories are sinister. Some are totally harmless (and honestly kind of fun), like the ones that claim Nicolas Cage is a time traveler or that birds aren't real. Recently, I came across a viral Reddit thread from several years ago where user shivas877 asked: "Which conspiracy theory is so believable that it might be true?" The thread had over 34K responses! While there were some well-known sinister ones in there, most were harmless. Below are some of the top and most often repeated lighthearted conspiracy theories people are convinced could be real: "Starbucks baristas are told to misspell customers' names so that they post photos on social media of their Starbucks cup. 'Check out how this guy spelled Barry!!! Borreye?!?! Lol, smh.'" —Jexy84 "That your phone's microphone is constantly 'hot' and it's listening for keywords to target advertising. "The most glaring instance where this happened to me was when I walked into a colleague's office. He had just gotten a standing desk, but one that goes on top of his existing desk rather than a standalone (pun?) Model. That's important to note.I said, 'Nice standing desk, when did you get that?' 'Thanks, just today.' He replied. That was literally all that was said about the desk. We talked about work-related stuff, and as I walked out and checked my phone, there was an ad on Facebook for that EXACT model of standing desk.I have never owned one, wanted one, or googled one before. Yet there it was on my feed. Tin foil hat be damned, they listen in."—Seannj222 "The 'arms' on Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons are backwards. They ought to be rotated 180 degrees. What good are these stubby little arms for? It is now an established fact that T-Rexes were not covered in scales but in feathers, like a bird. Take the 'arms' of a T-Rex and flip them around 180 degrees. Now you have wings like an ostrich. "Tyrannosaurus rex had wings. Not big wings to fly with, but wings that were perhaps something like those of an ostrich, cassowary, or emu, although likely much smaller in proportion to their body. Ostriches use their wings in mating rituals, to make themselves appear larger, and to signal and communicate. Perhaps the T-Rex used theirs for some similar purpose. They did not have useless stubby little arms."—DemonicP3nguin "All rocks are soft until you go to touch them." —TeddySD "That Area 51 is a publicity stunt by the government to hide the real testing facility." —Dahvoun "Apple started the meme about AirPods being expensive as a marketing ploy." —sickb "Cops go on Waze and leave random police sightings to cause people to slow down without actually having to stay and check on people. " —mxbnr "That 'big bread' paid toaster manufacturers to put in a setting that is too high so that people would burn their toast, meaning that they sell more bread." —mummifiedllama "The reason Disney came out with a movie called Frozen was so that when you googled 'Disney frozen,' you would get information about the movie and not websites talking about Walt Disney's body being frozen." —-eDgAR- "Rob Gronkowski didn't actually injure his groin after scoring his 69th career touchdown; he just thought it would be funny/appropriate." —Papua_New_Guiness "Lotteries are actually traps for time travelers." —Abraham_Santa "Women's pants pockets are significantly smaller than men's pants pockets to encourage us to buy handbags and purses." —mccrayola "PETA is controlled opposition run by the meat industry, designed to make animal rights activists look bad." —None "UFOs are just time travellers from the future, just checking us out. They keep their distance so as not to disrupt anything and to cause a butterfly effect that may affect them." —None "Toothpaste companies put some chemicals in the toothpaste to give you 'morning breath' so that you'll need to use their product again in the morning. Try it yourself: brush your teeth just before going to bed. The next morning, you have morning breath, right? That night, don't brush. The next morning, far less morning breath." —kratos649 "Black Friday was created by the government so people would spend more money, giving them more money on sales tax." —captaintaco2345 "Bigfoot is blurry in real life. It was never the camera at fault." —hotmaleathotmailcom "That Snowpiercer is the sequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." —MattimusPrimee "New Coke was introduced to make people want Classic Coke, therefore bumping sales up. " —None "According Kyle Kinane: Trader Joe's makes their parking lots small on purpose to make them seem more popular than they really are." —None And lastly, "Darth Jar Jar was 100% planned and hinted at in The Phantom Menace, but the sheer amount of hatred for the character made George Lucas back down. I actually wish he went through with the original vision." —shanez1215 You can read the original thread on Reddit.

Los Angeles ICE Raids Are Driving Immigrants — And Citizens — Underground
Bella likes to go to the Hispanic supermarket in her neighborhood, particularly to buy sweet bread, fresh fruit, and tortillas. But in the last week, as news of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have rocked Los Angeles, Bella, who is undocumented and in her thirties, and asked to be called by a different name to protect her privacy, is avoiding the Hispanic supermarket and anywhere else she can think of that might be a target for raids. On Friday, ICE raids began at warehouses, clothing manufacturers, and Home Depot parking lots across the city, prompting an outpouring of protests, with tens of thousands of people marching through the weekend. In response, President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops into the city despite protests from both Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The onslaught shows no sign of stopping, with Trump mobilizing hundreds of Marines for possible deployment and border czar Tom Homan warning that enforcement will continue 'every day' in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the ICE raids which sparked the protest continue, and the undocumented people of Los Angeles worry they'll be caught in one. More from Rolling Stone Some Trump Officials Now Fear Elon's 'Burn Book' Masked ICE Agents Detain 9-Month-Pregnant U.S. Citizen in L.A. Crackdown 'No Kings': Millions to Protest Trump's 'Dictator-Style Birthday Parade' In light of the raids, Bella's life has shrunk. Though no one knows where the next raid is going to take place, she's trying to hedge her bets. She has tickets to a Mexican singer's concert this weekend; now, she wonders if attending is worth the risk. 'Right now it's not a good idea,' she says. Bella's torn between her desire to stay informed – and thus, stay safe – and the constant heartbreak she faces while scrolling on social media, as she swipes past videos of children crying for their parents who have been taken into ICE custody. In her seven years in the United States, Bella has worked a job that is often done by immigrants; she doubts that she's taking an American's job. 'I was just thinking, what are we doing wrong?' she asks. 'We're not doing anything. We're just trying to work and live our lives without doing anything bad to anyone.' Felipe, an undocumented 44-year-old father who lives in Los Angeles and asked to be called by a different name to protect his privacy, has to travel to different neighborhoods throughout the city every day for work. That travel, once prosaic, is now fraught. He uses the navigation app Waze, through which users can report law enforcement activity. 'I've become much more careful and intentional with how I plan my day,' he says. 'My focus is getting from one job to the next with as little public exposure as possible, because my priority is getting home safely to my family every night.' Sometimes, when a customer reaches out from a neighborhood that Felipe considers too susceptible to ICE raids, he'll turn down the job. 'I have to consider the risks involved,' he says. He used to spend the time between jobs visiting stores, restaurants, and supply centers; he's stopped that in the wake of the ICE raids. 'Everything is about staying focused and moving safely from one home to the next.' The amount of mental energy it takes to stay aware of all the possible risks is exhausting to Felipe, a father and husband. 'I wish people understood how much mental energy it takes just to live a normal day,' he says. 'I'm not afraid for myself, I'm afraid of what would happen to my family if I couldn't come home. If I'm taken out of the picture, everything changes.' At the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, Luis Nolasco, a senior policy advocate, says people are rightfully scared. These raids 'are sending a very chilling message to immigrants all over Southern California. People are scared and they're altering their behaviors and the way they show up.' Nolasco says this most recent wave of ICE raids feels different — 'more relentless, more militaristic' — than those that happened during the last Trump administration. Part of the ACLU's messaging has always been for people to know their rights ahead of potential detainment. But as ICE arrests top 100,000 in the first few months of Trump's second term, people are left with a question: Does knowing their rights matter? Nolasco says the ACLU's advice is still the same: to remain silent, give as little information as possible, and reach out to organizations like the Orange County Rapid Response Network, which has resources including family preparedness plans and what to do during the first 24 hours someone is detained. People are also encouraged to call the hotline to report ICE sightings in their neighborhood. It's not only undocumented people who are afraid as the onslaught in Los Angeles continues. And for good reason — in May, a 31-year-old Danish man with a green card was detained by ICE and transferred to a detention center in Louisiana. For Jackie, a 38-year-old green card holder living in Los Angeles, her status provides little comfort. 'With this administration, honestly, it's not even a relief,' she says. 'The green card is not even something that's going to secure myself from being deported.' Jackie's scared and trying to limit her activities outside of the house as much as possible. Though she's been going to work, she avoids going to the grocery store, running errands, and seeing friends. The risk, at this moment, is too high. When she does go out, she carries her green card with her in addition to her passport from her country of origin and a pair of extra clothes just in case. Citizenship also no longer seems to be a catch-all protection against ICE. A few days ago, a U.S. marshal was detained because he 'fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE.' The marshal was released after his identity was 'quickly confirmed,' according to the U.S. Marshals Service, but the potential of a citizen being arrested or even detained sticks in the mind of Karla, a 34-year-old living in Los Angeles. She was undocumented for most of her life and only got citizenship last year. Her parents also have citizenship but neither of them speak English, and Karla worries about them getting caught up in raids and being unable to prove their status. Because of that, she's doing all of their grocery shopping and her parents are spending at least the next few weeks inside their home. 'No matter what I do as a human being living in the United States, no matter all the things I had to do for naturalization, I will always be a second-hand citizen,' she says. As Bella's phone pings notifications from community groups and texts from friends warning her of ICE sightings across the city, she wonders if she should go back to Mexico before she's forced to. Because the way she's living right now — with the constant fear of deportation — isn't how she expected her life in America to be. 'If I wanted to be afraid, I would have stayed in Mexico.'
