      The "secret messages" part cleanly gives it away.

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

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

                  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

                            Early signs of dementia or paranoid schizophrenia, maybe.

                                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.

                                    Can you think of a single genocide? Just ein will do.

                                      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! ๐Ÿ™

                                        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.
