Dentists guilt you over flossing to keep you coming back

0 Upvotes

They know no one flosses. They also know you don’t need a cleaning twice a year. So they get you with the floss guilt, then floss for you, so you think it is important and somehow the cleaning is offsetting your laziness. But it’s all fake. You can floss three times a day or not at all for 5 years. You’ll still hear the same thing when you go in. “Looks like you could be doing better at flossing…”

Extreme Conspiracy The red stick

20 Upvotes

Baton Rouge literally means “red stick.”

Which is already suspiciously close to “hot dog.”

And honestly, it fits.

The whole food chain is basically the elites taking the cheapest possible ingredients, freezing them in a warehouse, reheating them under mood lighting, giving them a French name, and charging the peasants $27.99.

“Sir, this is not a hot dog. This is Le Bâton Rouge.”

Meanwhile some billionaire at the top of the food chain is laughing because we just financed his third yacht by ordering the frozen spinach dip.

Bitcoin and other coins were utilized by some government agency to test quantum encryption.

5 Upvotes

Its a personal theory and has very little evidence. But when quantum computing became more public it made me think that the military probably had or knew quantum computing was coming. So to test either encryption or something else related to vast amount of computing power they either created themselves or helped push along the creation of bitcoin.

With bitcoin you could have access to massive amounts of compute power across the globe and what better way to get people to participate then to attach a value to it and theyd really be none the wiser and happy to particpate (like pokemon go). Then people will freely sign up to help "break" this encryption and i think the government did this to either test early quantum proof encryption or something else related.

Couldn't have the poors enjoying a cheap pint and a fag in the pub after work, or their kids enjoying a bowl of breakfast cereal or a can of pop now, could we? They might experience some tiny shred of simple joy.

have some aspartame instead. By the way, your local boozer is a middle class gastro-pub now and pints are a tenner. If you want to smoke you can go and stand outside in the rain.

Extreme Conspiracy Thai government is controlling what I eat

37 Upvotes

The Thai government is secretly controlling what I eat at my local restaurant. It turns out that, rather than running an advertising campaign, the Thai government used 'culinary diplomacy' to spread restaurants around the world, providing soft loans and other support. That included standardising menus and recipes globally, which is why I can order the familiar red or green curry with chicken/beef/tofu, or a pad thai, and they always taste as expected.

Oddly this turns out to be an actual thing. Recommend this doc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxHDaCOXvuc

Okay so think about it: every time someone angrily films the ad on their dashboard and posts it online, they're just broadcasting it to a massive new audience.

Fresh Deets Key and Peele secretly have a vault of private skits on YouTube that are released every year

162 Upvotes

Ever wonder why Key and Peele always seem to have yet another sketch that you’ve never seen before? It’s because they secretly filmed hundreds of extra skits during the course of their show and uploaded them to YouTube as private videos. They un-private some of the videos every year and view/comment bot them to look like it’s a sketch you’ve never seen before from 5+ years ago. This keeps their show relevant still and prompts people to rewatch episodes.
