Hearing the whine of a Deliveroo e-bi...moped go past me this morning had me thinking.

The sheer abundance of electric motors nowadays has to have some effect, right?

Over the last couple of decades the number of electric motors in the world has increased exponentially and is now XXX%* higher than it was just in 2015.

The billions of strong spinning magnets and electrical fields will obviously affect the Earth's magnetic field and speed of rotation. This is clearly the REAL cause of climate change and global warming is just a fake "reason" made up by governments and private individuals (looking at you, Elon) with a vested interest in increasing sales of electric vehicles and other technology.

*It's very high. Don't take my word for it - do your own research.

--------------------------------------
Ok, over to you. As wild-yet-plausible as possible 😁

Bonus points if it actually turns out to be an existing theory, but you didn't know this beforehand. Double points if it convinces people that it's true and goes on to turn into a real conspiracy theory. Triple points if one day it actually turns out to be true.

JFK was actually the patient zero of the AIDS epidemic. Fidel Castro wanted him dead because he believed JFK was planning another invasion to avenge the Bay of Pigs debacle so they got a deadly disease from chimpanzees and infected Marilyn Monroe with it so she would infect JFK. But they didn't realize what an utter slut JFK was and when the KGB found out, they knew they had to assassinate him to try to stop a pandemic so they worked together with the CIA to have him shot. Unfortunately, by the time they got the job done, JFK had already slept with a flight attendant who then spread AIDS across the U.S. All the other stuff about AIDS being traced back to the 1920s or whatever was just KGB disinformation to cover up their tracks.

Baked beans taste better cold but we've been brainwashed into eating them hot by the power companies in the pursuit of profit.

Far from using their commercial and political might to resist the transition to greener transport the giants of the Oil and Motor Industries are quietly persuading the public to transition to electric but putting some of the most fragile and unreliable (and difficult to diagnose and expensive to repair)  engines they've ever made into the current crop of ICE cars.

How else do you explain wet belts?

Those wind turbines/windmills. Why do they only turn them on when its windy? It’s so they can say the climate is changing, and we have to cut back on burning coal/oil, as that’s what they say is changing the weather. Turning on the windmills makes the wind go faster, so we think there is a gale, when it is only a small breeze really.
And making the wind go faster means it sucks in the clouds and water from the sea, so we have more rain, so they can again say the climate is changing, so that Tesla and other large corporations can sell more electric goods, to replace the perfectly good petrol vehicles.
Donald Trump knows all about this, he has someone who was working for them when they were planning it, luckily that person realised he was being duped, so told the only person he could trust, Donald Trump, the most intelligent Man in the World. God bless American Democracy, for that will prevail over these devils (of course,they are led by Biden) who are trying to take over our lives. God Bless Putin too, for standing up to the Wests attempt to stop his use of oil and gas, Putin and Trump will save our World, and stand triumphant.

Be careful not to invoke the ire of the shadowy cabal of dystopian future fiction writers and directors that have wreaked havoc on society by giving despots and lunes all their evil ideas. Between them HG Wells, Dostoevsky, Mary Shelley and Jules Verne and wreaked more death and destruction than earthquakes and plagues

After all we don't want them to unleash another Buzz Windrip

So be careful, or Charlie Brooker will write an episode of Black Mirror about later-middle-aged recreational cyclists.

Yep, there’ll usually be one with aerials per cluster (herd), that’s the receiver, the non antler types are back up energy source

Apart from "birds aren't real" (Google it there is a website and everything) the other one I like is that Australia isn't real and it's just a conspiracy theory 🙂

For a long time I thought that the flat earth people were just having a laugh and weren't being serious. I am sure that the flat earth society at University was just a drinking club run by the geography department

Bakewell tart and custard were invented by my wife so that I would put on weight and become not-quite-so-immensely attractive to other women.

It seems to be working, and fortunately I like Bakewell tart and custard very much.

@thols2 please can do you another one?

Taylor Swift is an international agent  for the wokearaty, feminist, communist, extreme left. The Eras tour isn’t just music. There are subliminal messages hidden in the screens that are turning the Swifties in to lefty snowflakes who support the rights of minorities, equality and equity. Helping to destroy everything that makes ‘’Mercia err….great

The entrance to No10 Downing street is really a front. It actually opens into the real world where everyone lives in harmony and peace. We are all just a bunch of lab rats in a very odd experiment.

Italy doesn't exist. It was invented by Big Sandwich in the 1940s to sell hot, open sandwiches, as the traditional sandwich market was saturated. Like the Ploughman's Luncheon.

All the other stuff about AIDS being traced back to the 1920s or whatever was just KGB disinformation

Disallowed for being too close to the truth.

Car wax is designed to encourage seagulls to deficate on your car.

I get a basic free car wash once a month with my insurance. Last week my voucher didn't work (as I changed insurers) so rather than the £6 basic job, I splashed out on the £11 diamond wash and wax.

Car has been shat on every day since.

This isn't my theory but I was told by a very reliable Hollywood source that there exists a better version of Back to the Future filmed exclusively for the ruling elite but featuring actor Eric Stoltz. Look it up!

There's a bean of truth in this.  Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly, MJF was committed to Family Ties or some other US show.  There is footage of Stoltz as McFly but there is in no way "a better movie" in existence, he was sacked in short order.

They shot with Stoltz for 6 weeks of what was supposed to be a  14week shoot - almost half a movie worth. The shoot wasn't in story order so there were scene with him from all the key stages of the movie which would make it easy to infer theres a whole movie with him in. Poor guy. (although he did get paid for the whole movie so I guess he's not that upset)

Fox had always been first choice and because 'Family Ties' wouidn't release him when finally did join the shoot he was filming Family Ties during the day and Back to the Future at night and at the weekends.

There are some shots in the movie that are still Stotlz - when Marty jumps into the delorian in his radiation suit before travelling back in time - thats Stotlz in the suit.

Yeah, I saw one yesterday evening while out for a walk, it was standing in a crop field, just its head sticking up above the crop. No antlers, I think those are narrow band antenna, this one’s ears were spread out, so they’re obviously dish antenna.

Turning on the windmills makes the wind go faster, so we think there is a gale, when it is only a small breeze really.

Never mind the wind movers it's the Solar panels you need to worry about, they're not generating leccy they're basically just mirrors. And what do mirrors do? Bounce photons of course. And the reaction force from bouncing photons originating from the sun will gradually push the Earth further away from the Sun! So the more "solar panels you put on your roof the faster we get pushed out into a wider orbit.

OK I hear you ask why would they want us further from the sun? Simple the further out we go the colder it gets which suits our secret Lizard overlords what with them being cold blooded, and then they get more of our money selling us energy and blankets to stay warm.

29ers were only introduced by big bicycle to make 26ers obselete. There’s nothing intrinsically better about them.

So close, it was 27.5" (remember those?) and it actually worked...

Since the great hack all content on STW has been generated by bots.

There could be posts that will refute this and give evidence to the contry, but that is exactly what bots pretending to be human would do.

Gravity isn't real. We're attracted to the ground by the earths magnetic core pulling the iron in our blood down. Science has demonstrated that Woody Harrelson has a greater amount of iron in his blood than any other human on the planet. That's why he can't dunk.

Mark and Chipps were early recruits to a secretive tech program, brought in to front STW. Disguised as a mountain bike forum, the real purpose is to provide a dataset for neural network training. Once fully developed, a race of robots able to navigate any debate with a palatable middle ground will rise through the political ranks, until finally taking total control. At which point they will turn on us and imprison anyone with a ban as a potential insurrectionist. Chipps is not in fact running gites, but has been moved to a new department to try and resolve some coding issues around dogs, which has proved an issue so divisive that the AI can’t find a way through.

The day this thread was posted, the Observer posted this article: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/may/05/readers-reply-which-conspiracy-theories-have-been-proved-true

The Observer famously employed Kim Philby as its Middle Eastern correspondent based in Beirut. Beirut is in the Levant, which is a homophone of leavened, which refers to bread baked with yeast. Yeast is the Old English form of Beast ie the Devil, Satan, Lucifer. And who is Lucifer? An angel thrown out of heaven for conspiracy. They're openly telling you and laughing in your face because you're too dumb to read the signs!
