We've got a bunch of new people now so let's bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?
I'll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)
Frosted Flakes are not great, they're just paying Tony the Tiger to say that.
John Harvey Kellogg was a surgeon who performed circumcisions. He believed they were an effective treatment for "addiction to masterbation".
There are conspiracy theories (misconceptions?) that he popularized circumcisions in America. Or that Corn Flakes were created to curb masterbation urges - because they are so bland that obviously no one would want to jerk it after eating that.
Idk where I'm going with this, but John Harvey Kellogg was a weird fucking dude.
lol. If you haven't heard it, I very much recommend The Dollop episode 46: The Cereal Men.
Well I know what I'm listening to during work today
Enjoy!
He did actually make cornflakes to stop people from masturbating though. It was something to do with spicy food making you horny
Is this a misconception? I've never looked into that but heard it before. I'm skeptical of googling this haha
THEY'RE GRRRRRRFINE!

Don't use "whore" as a pejorative
"Whores" should be venerated in the hustle-grindset-gig-economy the world has created but strangely are not.
On the real though, sex work is so weirdly moralized in the market economy when everything else isn't. They want you to monetize your free time, your thoughts, your interests, your relationships, but you monetize your sexuality they get all
it's part of the apparatus of control over female-bodied people
Aren't there male sex workers as well?
yes, of course, but people are usually mad at them for being gay, not for being sex workers
Also, this guy looks an awful lot like Flat Dallas!
