Batshit insane conspiracy theories are pushed to discredit all conspiracy theories with actual evidence.


Women's pants have small pockets on purpose to increase handbag sales.


Surveillance of the general public is much, much worse than people believe and the view of being considered weird and paranoid is deliberately encouraged.

I 100% believe #2 and #3, but especially the #2.

100% to third one. I posit that’s how they got Luigi (knew where he was basically the entire time imo) and why the actual arrest was so weird and kind of botched

In the movie Moana she hits her head while trying to escape the thrashing waves. when she wakes up she's on the beach and has magic water powers.

I believe she is actually dying and everything after that point in the movie is a fantasy in her head as she slowly dies. she knows this deep down and struggles with the concept of death immediately after when her grandmother dies, thus sending her off on a journey to save her people (herself).

she then follows Maui who guides her along to the afterlife (even takes a small detour to the underworld). when she finally meets Te Fiti the goddess is in a state of duality (life and death). only after restoring Te Fiti to her living state does she return to her people where they welcome her back to the land of the living.

Uno changes the rules every few years so that people have different ideas of which "house rules" are canon. Being "the game that people argue over" keeps it in the public consciousness much better than "that game that's kind of fun to play two rounds of occasionally"

I'm actually stealing this as an explanation next time I'm at a house party and someone whips out the uno cards.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

Bullshit, uno and its precursor crazy eights is hands down the best card game ever created. We even played that in big groups in jail and had a blast. The house rules thing is bullshit, agree on something beforehand and play, no stress.

I will say that anyone who doesnt play stacking draw cards is losing out on a ton of fun though.
