Social Media conspiracy theories
11 ‘high IQ conspiracy theories’ to make you realise that the truth probably isn’t out there
When Oscar Wilde penned his Trivial Comedy for Serious People, surely he didn’t think it was important to be earnest all the time. Because gosh darn it, it’s 2025, and we need silliness.
For ’tis silliness that makes the world go round. Not, as you may have been taught in school, the way it formed from a collapsing cloud of gas and dust. That’s a NASA conspiracy. That’s what Henry Kissinger, Nick Clegg and Ursula van der Leyen want you to believe.
So this Twitter user’s plaintive request for some sophisticated theories about the way the world works is more than welcome.
Way too many low IQ conspiracy theories floating around. Give me high IQ conspiracy theories.

Flushable wipes are totally fine and Big Toilet Paper is gaslighting the country into thinking they’re a problem so they don’t lose money to a superior product.

Ok. Here goes. Don't shoot the messenger.
What if Earth is a farm for an advanced race and we are cattle?
What do we feed our livestock to fatten them before slaughter? Grains. What is our diet mostly made of now? Grains?
What do we give our livestock before slaughter?…

Ozempic was funded and developed by the American airline industry so they wouldn't have to adjust the seat space to accommodate an increasingly obese population. They can fit more thin people into a plane https://t.co/OpQhq1vNLc
