    My favorite conspiracy is that no one killed JFK. His head just did that.

    I took physics in high school, so I'm basically a qualified expert. I can confirm that quantum mechanics tell us that this is possible. Exceedingly unlikely, but possible.

        So in Seattle last week there was a man who accidentally shot himself in the leg while driving his car. He called 911 because he obviously needed help, but tried to tell cops that he was shot by a stranger while driving. They asked why there were no entry holes in his car, and I think he went to jail for being a dumbass.

        Anyway, how do we know JFK didn't accidentally shoot himself and then try to cover it up because he was so embarrassed.

        My theory is that one of his security details turned around to ask him a question and accidentally shot him in the face like Marvin in pulp fiction

                I indeed have read somewhere a long time ago (i think back in Usenet days) the conspiracy theory that JFK INDEED was not killed but this whole thing was just a stunt to push his political agenda further and let him retire in peace (you know, like Elvis did).

                  For every time a person has an intensely strong opinion about something they don't know much about and which doesn't actually affect them.

                  The first thing that came to my mind is the genocide in Gaza. Jews and fundamentalist Christians have a vested interest (sort of...), as do Israeli citizens (more obviously) in denying the genocide, but way more people than those small demographics do so. Those others are the grandpa.

                  But it occurred to me as I was writing that this could equally apply to things like gay marriage, or trans rights.

                      Ah I see, I was reading too deep into it and trying to map a 1:1 metaphor - I think you're probably right, that last sentence feels like either the punchline or an obvious flag that this is not a literal situation. Thanks! 🙏

                        The satistical chances of every single atom in your body just randomly dispersing and you vanishing is not 0. Just a very, very small percentage.

                        The statistical chances of only a spot on your body doing that is near infinitely more likely than the first scenario tho.

                              The issue is that he didn't get that pre approved (we could have got it in network if he did)

                              Seriously though, JFK tried to do some good things. I’d be curious to hear the tankie response. Probably something about the Cuban missile crisis.

                                  I think this is a bit different: western Zionists may not have personal connections to the Gaza genocide, but they have strong cultural and ideological ones. And given how much western governments are all in on Zionism, it does affect them indirectly.

                                  A Welsh Rwandan genocide denier is more out of left field

                                    lol this is the best theory I’ve ever heard. Except they would have shot him like three times by accident. Then they go to Nixon’s house where he is complaining about his wife’s coffee.

                                    I would pay to see that movie.

                                      I read all the replies and then completely forgot this was about Rwanda.

                                      Now I feel bad. I think I even had to write a paper about this in the 90s.

                                        That means anon is genetically more likely to develop either/both too.

                                        If any of you all have a family member suffering from those you should avoid triggers that can cause onset on an early age like smoking weed, especially under 25 years old.
