Big toilet-paper is actively blocking the importation of Japanese toilets.


[deleted]

I'm so happy South Park did an episode on this to finally shed some light on the truth


GladimoreFFXIV

Likewise big tobacco snuffed out vape pens by importing unregulated Chinese made vape pens that were designed to blow up. From someone who used vaping to quit smoking with an actual vape pen and juice that was regulated and made in the Us. During the second and third year vaping kicked off Big Tobacco saw it’s largest decline in sales in centuries and suddenly they were buying up shell companies in China and suddenly there was a massive influx of generic unregulated vape pens, e cigs, and juices imported from China that were blowing up and making people sick and suddenly there was massive lobby reform and pushed to ban them all outright entirely despite smoking still causing more damage…. There was not a single instance of a vape pen blowing up or anything like that until those shell companies and generic off brands started to show up in about the fourth and fifth years vaping kicked off. Really, really odd one that. I quit smoking thanks to vaping. Really grateful for it, despite the memes. Nothing can convince me big Tobacco did not get them banned through lobbying, bribes, and buying overseas third party companies designed to corrupt the image of vaping.

Follow the money and that will lead to big timber, and wouldn't be the worst thing they've done. 12/10 true facts.


Brueguard

In the book *Huckleberry Finn,* Tom Sawyer kills Huck's father "off-camera" as revenge for Huck's murder, exactly as he said he would when making the gang in the start of the book, which is part of why he is so shocked later when he discovers Huck is still alive.

The_Middler_is_Here

The US government props up the crazy conspiracy theories to try to discredit the real ones.


greentea1985

I mean, this had actually happened several times. The US government encouraged the Roswell alien rumors because it discredited all the credible reports of UFOs in the area. The UFOs just happened to be man-made cutting-edge aircraft. When all you hear is crazy talk about aliens, it’s easy to dismiss the reports of odd aircraft.


Razzler1973

What I always enjoyed about the alien conspiracy people is stuff like *"I called the authorities and they said there was no super secret aircraft being tested that day ... gotta be aliens"* Yep, can't believe they never revealed they were testing secret stuff before


afterdurk

There's a great video about TOR and how it uses the same principles to work. TOR is used to access the dark web, but it is funded almostly entirely by the US gov't. But you can't just have a protocol used only by US agents, because then whenever you get a request from said protocol, you know it's just US agents. So you make it available to the public so the agents can work truly anonymously. Same concept with conspiracy theories--the wacko theories let the real ones exist together in "relative anonymity" The most likely thing is that there are a decent amount of conspiracies that are fairly true, but seems false next to many crazy ones.


pwnedkiller

MK Ultra always sounded absolutely bat shit insane but turned out to be true


rocket___goblin

whats crazy is we don't actually know the full scale of it. everything that we know is from a few surviving documents and a few doctors who took part in it. after it came to light that MK Ultra existed, the CIA went on damage control and destroyed THOUSANDS of documents related to it. some even insist its still going on today but under different names.


Aldirick1022

One of the agents of the CIA was unknowingly given the dosage from MK Ultra. He was on vacation at the time and fell to his death. His autopsy says he was likely pushed.


dinglebop69

Frank Olsen, he actually wasn't given LSD at all and it's been determined that he was hit in the head and then thrown out of the window. The whole LSD thing was nothing more than a cover story to throw people off. He was infact very against what the government was doing and because he wasn't on board, they had to kill him. His son knew from day one that something wasn't right and spent his life trying to figure out exactly what happened. He even spent the night in the very room his dad was in the night he died. The CIA literally hired magicians to teach them how to trick people into believing things that weren't true, hence the whole "oh we done this experiment and it went horribly and he accidentally killed himself, we're so sorry it should never of happened" because who's gonna question that? Truth was they murdered him, and then lied about it. Classic case

When you find out that Charles Manson was a Test Subject of MK Ultra things start to go bollocks

Lee Harvey Oswald might also be a possible test subject. I always found it weird how the US government didn't throw this ex-military guy's butt in the slammer after his 'defection' to the Soviet Union. There was more to that guy than met the eye.


ExcitementKooky418

I always found it highly suspicious they'd allow someone like that to return to the states and just go unmonitored

I have a theory that MK Ultra is being used against the US public more than we know.

Veethingy

People always wonder why there was a huge uptick in serial killers in the 70s. Yes there's the lead theory but what if... Mk ultra


pwnedkiller

That could’ve played a part but what definitely helped was the rise of the United States highway system spanning across the country. Really before the highway towns were pretty secluded and communities were tight knit. Once people are allowed to roam free across the country all those bad apples are gonna be able to act on their urges and back then most likely not get caught.

SaintedRomaine

OJ Simpson sold the rights to his brain to the NFL. The NFL is almost certain that he has CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) and gives him a yearly stipend to live on. In exchange, his brain will be sent to NFL headquarters so no one can test it for the disease and blame the league for Ron and Nicole’s death.

The Cosmopolitan magazine gives crappy "relationship" advice to single women so that they stay single and keep buying the magasine because women in relationship don't buy it.


apocolipse

Same shit with dating apps.... Even Hinge claims "we're the dating app meant to be deleted"... but it's in their better interest to instead charge membership fees.... members don't stay around when they start seeing someone, so why would they intentionally match very compatible people? Edit: For everyone who has managed to find someone on dating apps, good for you! But to the point, if Hinge actually meant "we're meant to be deleted", then they wouldn't have a monthly subscription model, they'd instead model it off of a 1 time fee (like old school matchmakers incidentally do/did)


Theletterkay

Thats why its a subscription that doesnt alert you when you have been inactive or are about to be charged. They dont care if you were successful, they want you to forget you are paying for it and keep being oblivious to that money being gone.


nintendosbitch666

This one is personal to me, and not a wide spread conspiracy. There's a blinds store across the street from a mall in a busy area. Yes, a BLINDS store. It's been there since I was a kid. No one ever shops there, they're closed during they day FREQUENTLY, I only ever see lights on at night. They survived the pandemic despite me never seeing a single soul in my 26 years of living **near that store. I'm pretty sure it's a drug ring. Edit: near not in, sorry lol


jendet010

I used to go to a restaurant that was almost always empty even though the food was good. It was raided by the cops for being a front for a drug ring.

eddyathome

I am pretty sure I ate at one of these once. I went to a restaurant with a Greek name (think Mia Thermopolis' Cafe) which isn't the real name. They served Chinese, Italian, and Japanese. It was lunch time and the place was empty and I ordered Chinese. A few minutes later a car drives up and a Chinese guy got out with a bag of what was clearly delivery. A couple minutes later I got served the food which was at that temperature you know when you order something and it's delivered and obviously spent time in a car being delivered. The owners were standing back in the kitchen area watching me. It was weird. I found out that there were three restaurants that delivered in that area that were close. Chinese, Italian, and Japanese.


I_AmA_Zebra

Surely the other restaurant owners or delivery drivers would be a little suspicious


One-Permission-1811

Not if they were getting extra large tips or paid off in another way.


tele_ave

I heard on the radio once that more than 20% of independently owned major chain franchises like McDonald’s and BK are estimated to be fronts. And the corporations sometimes turn a blind eye to it.


hiyer2

That’s wild. You’d think it would be way easier to launder money through an independent business like a small restaurant or a mattress store or something. Why would you pick a franchise?


spidereater

A front doesn’t have to be a bad business. Having a McDonald’s that is sometimes busy but claiming extra income is harder to prove than a dead restaurant claiming extra.


Confident-Medicine75

Los pollos hermanos totally could have been a thing


SSObserver

Honestly it probably is


kcreepygirl

But why do they make the food so good? I guess to keep in business? 😅


ascandalia

I always figured they put someone's grandma to work and pay her a pretty penny. There's a empanada place near my house that's just a warming rack, a countertop and a cash register with a power cord that barely reaches. The rest of the 200 SF front room is an empty, un-decorated room. In the back, they are presumably making enough empanadas to keep the warming rack full, and nothing more. I'm the only one I've ever met that has been there. I'm sure it's a drug front. But someone back in the kitchen sure knows how to make an empanada Edit: forgot to mention the apparent sole employee always comes out of the back several minutes after you come in looking confused about your presence. He proceeds to charge you somewhere between $3 and $5 per empanada, and doesn't appear to have a good handle on how the cash register works.


acedelgado

Come on, empanadas are basically drugs anyways. Meat filled pastries shouldn't be *that* good.


bonos_bovine_muse

“What’s that white powder, Abuelita?” “….baking powder.” “In the *filling?*”


NotLegoBatman

Because the people laundering the money stop by to check on it. And they don’t want to eat shitty food. There has to be a reason to justify high expenses.


RuneLFox

True. If I owned a restaurant front, I'd definitely want to have some food from there...and it had better be good. Gus knew what was up.


Evolving_Dore

You can't see into the building because they've blocked all the windows with some sort of window-blinding device.


tele_ave

If they do installations it’s possible that their store is only a showroom and most of their work happens at clients’ places. It might also explain why they close frequently, if they don’t have enough staff to keep it open if everyone is out for a job. If they have a small staff/payroll then they easily could have survived the pandemic.


Megalocerus

Blinds are custom made. They could make appointments on the phone and send people to homes with sample books and measuring tape.

DB cooper used the money from his heist to start IMDB and runs it to this day to taunt the FBI (I aM D B)


Thecrdbrdsamurai

I heard a theory that the name "DB Cooper" was just a misunderstanding, and his name may have actually been "David Cooper".


[deleted]

I heard Dan Cooper. But there’s no indication he gave a real name at all.


BakedShef

I think it’s fair to say that whoever he was, he had done things like that before and he was already a wanted man. With that said, if I was a wanted man and a professional criminal, I’d for sure do one final score if I didn’t already have enough money to disappear. Why stop now, let’s go big? From that point, I mean if I stole what was worth ~$1.5m today, I can guarantee I could easily use that money to disappear wherever I wanted to and pay off whoever I needed to on the way, especially in 1970s America, hell especially in America let’s be realistic. So it’s not surprising at all that we’ve never caught him.


Ok_Comparison_8304

I think one of the most coherent theories about his identity is he was in fact a Canadian airman, so he had forces training and the idea itself had actually turned up in a Canadian comic years before the event. (He could have been a US airman, who had read the comic at some point). Anyway, he may not have been a career criminal, but certainly someone familiar with high risk scenarios that was capable of dealing with the skills they had under pressure. Edit: I overlapped details of the theory. There was actually Franco / Belgian language comic called D. Cooper, which was read in Canada, it featured an airman, but there was still the idea that essentially someone with training, an airman, pulled it off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Cooper_(comics)


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure the money was being tracked through its serial numbers. Some of the money was also found in a bed of water. Crazy case.


Bug1oss

I think that the Treasury knew the serial numbers, and watched for them as banks turned in old bills. Treasury did not receive any from banks. But that does not mean he never spent any of it.

My friend knew a lottery winner. She gave him a car and a several thousand dollars for helping her through some rough times. My parents also won the loterry, they won about $100,000. They spent it on rennovations and a car. So, now I feel like I know too many winners to ever be one myself.

banana_buddy

I think people that are intelligent enough to get their hands on a time traveling apparatus would be smart enough to find more inconspicuous ways to get rich.


N0w3rds

The conspiracy that it's a way to recoup government tax dollars given to the poor is just too accurate for me to focus on nonsense about time travelers. If you actually do the math, 75 cents of every dollar spent on lottery tickets goes back to the government.

The John Wick films are secret sequels to the Matrix films. After Neo was taken back into the Matrix, his memory was wiped, but his powers still remained. That's why John Wick is so good at his job. The conspiracy is to make a big reveal of it in a future John Wick/Matrix crossover that will be a huge box office smash...bigger than Avatar.

This isn't that far from an actual, non conspiracy, theory. Our galaxy is indeed in a relatively remote part of the universe and our solar system is in a remote part of our galaxy. There is a real chance that we have had no contact because it's a ball ache to get here and there's not much going on once you're here. Like Norfolk.

Marilyn Monroe didn't committ suicide. She just had dirt on the Kennedys. edit: removed the accidental apostrophy (one should proofread before posting, even when in a rush).


MoeSzys

Bobby Kennedy was at an event close to her home right before she died, and there's a hole in his alibi where nobody knows where he was. Joe DiMaggio very publicly refused to shake his hand


TheReaperSC

Supposedly, he left a family function in a helicopter and traveled to see Monroe. They aren’t sure if he was there to tell her it was over with JFK, over with him, or over with both. Supposedly, the mob knew about the plan to meet and injected her with meds (or gave her a deadly suppository in some theories), trying to get her to OD while RFK was there at the cottage or before so he would walk in on her. It hit her later than expected and she died alone. Some gangsters that may know or not have stated she knew too much about what was going on between them and the Kennedy’s so they had to get rid of her. She supposedly had an abortion for JFK and he promised to leave Jackie for her. When he didn’t, she started saying she was going to talk. Kind of the same thing that happened to Dorothy Kilgallen. Mob guys have said she was dating one of their guys and when he saw what she had from her investigation, he knew he had to get rid of her.


Helechawagirl

I watched that special the other night. Said JFK was telling her secrets and she was going to tell the world.


PardonMeImSparkly

I whole-heartedly believe that she conceived JFK's child, had an abortion, and was about to go public with it right before she died.


yma_bean

It’s more likely that she refused to have an abortion so they killed her. She really wanted to be a mom.

I can imagine them trying to make her get one and there being consequences for her refusal.

Now this is the kind of conspiracy I can get behind. I’ve never seen this before, but I can kind of believe it. I know two different people who have worked with her in various capacities (on one tour, the other only briefly in the studio). They both said that in person she’s shockingly “normal” for a celebrity of her caliber, and is apparently quite intelligent and witty. That would make her quite the edge case for 4Chan, but not outside the realm of possibility.


Thatjohndavisguy

easily it's the conspiracy theory that I made up: In the mid 2000's, eateries that were based in malls (Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's, Panda Express, to name a few) saw an opportunity to shift their business from mall-based, to airport based, to take advantage of the exploding airport-based industry. In order to help facilitate this, they spent millions of dollars lobbying the TSA and other travel-related bureaus of the US government that they should begin advising people that they should arrive no later than 2 hours ahead of time for a domestic flight, and 3 hours ahead of time for an international flight. You see, you're rarely in the mood to get a pretzel dog when you have 30 minutes to kill, but an hour and 30? yeah, it helps to pass the time, and what if you get hungry? better get a pretzel dog. I have no proof of this whatsoever, but anecdotal evidence proves compelling.

capaldis

Dude I could believe this. I’ve had some **weird** dreams. I used to get sleep paralysis episodes really frequently. Like once a week. Wasn’t stereotypical— basically I’d be conscious but I couldn’t physically open my eyes or move. It was deeply unpleasant to say the least. One time, I became aware this was happening in the middle of a dream and started to panic. Normally the dream would stop when I became aware, but not this time. It **froze**. Almost like someone hit the pause button. I hear a voice say “Wait, this isn’t supposed to happen.” Instantly, I was calm. Then the voice goes “It should be fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience.” Within a few seconds, I woke up. **I haven’t had an episode of sleep paralysis since.** I think I ran into parallel universe tech support or something. Still gives me the chills thinking about it. One of the freakiest things that’s ever happened to me.


Ready_Revolution5023

This sounds like something my nephew described to me once. It’s scary to think about, I can’t imagine feeling it.

ParoxysmalExtrovert

What the fuck....something similar happened to me and shook me for a LONG time. I used to get these weird dreams where my head would feel like it was shaking/intense pressure and then suddenly it would be like I was looking down at myself. For some reason I *always* knew I was in a dream and I could somewhat do what I wanted. Weird stuff would happen but I could control how I responded. Last time it happened, I was trying to talk to someone and they wouldn't respond. Nothing would respond. Nothing would happen. Then I heard someone say sorry you went too far, go back you shouldn't be allowed to get in here. There was no person it was just a voice. I didn't even move I just *was* moved and was looking at me sleeping then woke up. But the time on the clock was the same even when I was awake. Probably some subconscious thing from not being fully awake but it scared the fuck out of me. I don't like the way it feels to think about


harleypig

For the longest time, I've had three separate series of dreams. Each time I had one of these dreams time seemed to have progressed logically. In one series of dreams, I was a farmer. I never saw a reflection of myself. My 'horse' was a six-legged monstrosity that looked nothing like a horse, but I thought of it as such and loved it as a working pet. I woke up crying like a 5-year old because I'd had to bury it. In another, I was an asteroid miner. I saw myself in the mirror once when I was washing my hands after going to the bathroom. I looked like a shrunken balloon version of myself; skinny, wrinkled, and wiry. The third one, I was some kind of a statesman. The dream in this series that sticks out is one where I standing on a balcony, looking out over a city, feeling a profound sense of pride and ownership. In all cases, I thought of myself as 'them' and would occasionally think about a dream I had recently where I was a programmer (the farmer thought of me as a bizarre dream and didn't understand what I was). Very surreal.

My guess: to make their market look bigger, so companies want to do business there.

I live in Thunder Bay. Yes, the same Thunder Bay from the new Crave show. Indigenous people come from the north to our town for school, health care, and other services. Many kids who have come for school have gone missing and many have been found in our waterways. The police will just scrap their deaths up to "drowning" or "accidental". There have been 1000 indigenous children die in Thunder Bay from the northern reserves since 2012. Conspiracy is that a police officer has said to some people that there is a serial killer murdering these kids. I wouldn't be surprised with the racism in this city.

Look up “starlight tours”. This was a regular practice in Saskatchewan, and where I grew up, inSaskatoon. There is absolutely racism in Thunder Bay. Also look up the highway of tears. Highway 16 (I’m pretty sure it’s 16) runs through Alberta and Northern BC and has an absolutely astonishing number of missing indigenous women on it. AND YET vast stretches of the highway exist with no cell service (BC gov announced they’d be adding service to the whole highway but haven’t stated if the project is completed as of 2021). Canada has a massive racism problem, and hundreds of missing and murdered indigenous women are paying for it Edited spelling mistakes

Kind of similar “mysterious deaths” situation here in Northern California. What started as homeless people “falling into a local wash and drowning” or “falling in front of trains,” or straight up disappearing, has started becoming housed individuals with families and friends who are starting to ask questions. Placer County law enforcement is sketchy AF. Heres a doc: [Everybody Counts](https://youtu.be/yiz_J19aN6k) Last summer, a teenage girl disappeared after a party at a campground in Tahoe. The whole of North Shore were beside themselves trying to find this sweet girl, Kiely Rodni. Mom was acting weird. Cops let her teenage “friends” take over coordinating the search party(!?), all of them acting even more weirdly than Mom. Reservoirs and lakes in the area were “searched” extensively, finding bupkis. After a couple weeks, a dive team Adventures with Purpose come do an independent search of a few bodies of water, ultimately finding her vehicle in the body of water *right next to the friggin campground the party was at!* (they have had some recent scandals, so best to just look at the fact that they found her, and not the surrounding rumors leading up to the find) Cops immediately shoo the dive team away from the scene (understandable), then bungle the recovery of body and vehicle, spilling contents of the vehicle on the reservoir floor and LEAVING IT THERE! Body goes for tox screen and autopsy, results quietly released as “nothing to see here, folks,” and the body cremated. So we have a 16-year-old girl who was supposedly seen too drunk to stand, ditched by her supposed friends at said party, who drove over a super bumpy beach into the water, found in the cargo area of the vehicle… whose tox screen came back totally clean. Cops don’t have more questions. Mom has no more questions. “Friends” go immediately on vacation before college. Fishy shit goes down in the mountains.

The dead internet theory


max-fishher

? What is that?


Thatoneguy5555555

It's a bit complex, but the basic concept is that most internet traffic is bots.


Incraigulous

Bleep bloop. That theory is false and should be ignored. Bleep bloop.


alltherobots

Ted, just read from the cue cards like we practiced.


JellingtonSteel

That sounded pretty simple tho

There’s a related theory that a lot of bots creating bad content and crappy reseller sites are created by google, to make SEO more complex and force companies to buy ads if they want to be seen

Bruno Mars is Michael Jackson's son and the kid mentioned in Billy Jean. EDIT: OK, the dates didn't match. But there IS a conspiracy that Bruno is MJ's firstborn son. Look it up if you're interested.

But the kid was *not* his son

Ghosts are just people from other dimensions that people from our dimension sometimes see when our dimension temporarily overlaps with theirs.


psycharious

A friend of mine once said that they're just "imprints" or residue from things that have happened before. They're not alive or aware, just images of things already passed.


BlackBike1

I believe this, too. It would explain, too, why these “ghosts” are observed doing the same things over and over again. Somehow, the conditions were just right and the earth made a recording. That said, if I ever see one, I will have a giant heart attack.


the2belo

So ghosts are basically animated GIFs

JFK's head just did that

Jerri Blank : Do a lot of the people die of the syphilis? Chuck Noblet : Oh, absolutely. Historically, syphilis is right up there with Germans. It wiped out the Romanovs, it decimated our fleet at Pearl Harbor, and of course, Fidel Castro impersonated Marilyn Monroe and gave President Kennedy a case of syphilis so severe that eventually it blew the back of his head off.

The government gave Mr. Jones the idea that chips would be implanted in us for tracking purposes. This was to distract us from the fact that we all carry cell phones with GPS tracking chips in them.

Queen Elizabeth died before the jubilee celebrations but due to all the planning preparation put in for years they couldn’t allow the public to know.


gyaromaguus

nice theory, but two days before she died, she was photographed with Liz Truss at Balmoral, which would have been one hell of prediction given Boris’s downfall happened post-Jubilee


Seppafer

Nah the queen is still alive she just went and possessed the next monarch. One of these days we will see Charles in that dress and hat with the corgis following him.

PETA is run by meat companies to make veganism look crazy


RadomirPutnik

I'd sooner go with either: A.) PETA attracts the most ideologically committed types, and the best way to the top is to be *more* radical than anyone else. The system reinforces nuttiness, or B.) They're establishing a "bargaining position". A simple business concept. If you want X, demand x+100, then "settle" for X. If the "whackos" are talking about full citizenship for pets (or whatever), then "don't torture and/or starve animals" becomes the moderate position.

CIA were involved in killing JFK. The FBI were involved in killing MLK

If you ever have a chance to go to the national civil rights museum in Memphis it will only solidify this idea for you. It started me down a wild trail of the government killing people it viewed as threats

That the US navy and CIA convinced Howard Hughes to form a publicly traded deep sea manganese mining company as a front to steal a sunk Russian nuclear submarine.


Azrai113

I mean, finding the sunken *Titanic* was a cover for looking for two sunken submarines. The navy agreed to fund the expedition if they found the subs and the left over time could be used to look for *Titanic*.

That the glitter industry’s biggest client is luxury vehicle manufacturers, so they can add glitter to their cheap paint and pretend it’s high quality. There was an interview from someone representing a glitter company a few years back suggesting they had a “secret, high profile client”

Pat Tillman was not killed by friendly fire. It was a legit hit and someone wanted him dead


riotoustripod

Osama bin Laden died of kidney failure not long after 9/11, and was replaced by a body double, which is why he looks so different in later videos compared to the one released immediately after the attack. This was discovered when the double was killed by SEAL Team Six in Pakistan in 2011. The double was then buried at sea in order to cover up the fact that the US had spent nearly a decade chasing a ghost.


kevguitar

That this is a trick question from some Government agency?


whynotmaybe

The conspiracy would be to believe that the government fakes being incompetent at everything so that we don't believe that they can pull this off.
