I wonder how many conspiracy theories started with a practical joke that got way out of hand.

And someone is dying of laughter as people attribute it to aliens, god, elites, illuminati , lizard people or immigrants.

There's a certain type of person who wants to believe conspiracy theories. They're a willing audience just waiting for a conspiracy. They're similar to people who want to believe in things such as alien spacecraft and psychic abilities. In essence they just want the world to be more than it seems. They want life to be more than it seems. In my mind it simply reflects emptiness in the person and a childlike need for magic to exist and for other people to be to blame for things.

@ostfuidctyvm Yes! That's it, that's exactly it! They want there to be more to life, because they simply cannot accept the fact that the life they're living, which apparently isn't exciting enough for them, is all there is.
