r/LowStakesConspiracies

If someone at work asked me what my favorite band is I would probably say some radio rock like Metallica or The Cure. I’m not technically lying bc I do like those bands, but I don’t feel like spending 20 minutes explaining to someone what dungeon synth is, or that video game/anime soundtracks go hard as fuck and I’m not a weird neckbeard I promise. Your coworker with “NPC music taste” is probably just trying to look approachable and slightly less autistic.

EDIT: Comments proving my point. No, I did not make this post to brag. No, I don’t think everyone who likes pop music is a poser who should die. People liking a weird thing is not a personal attack on you. Holy bean soup. CHILL.

I have a hard time believing all these cooks and chefs can't cook chicken. I have never messed up my own chicken or beef as bad as some of these accomplished cooks.

I feel like they'll cut the gas to 3/4 pressure as soon as meat's in the oven and put it back to normal a few minutes before the Wellingtons come out.

"stomping on... Koopas"

stomping on Goombas is a more effective strategy than stomping on Koopas, but he got tongue tied and had to name the enemy that he could think of the name of

Like, where are all the bikes?

In Mad Max or Waterworld you still have gas powered engines kicking about. Where are we getting the petrol? Petrol has a shelf life and engines need constantly maintained or they don't work.

Horses? Even dumber!

The Postman and stuff has Horses. Horses are not "low tech" cars. They are complex, living animals that took our ancestors multiple millennia to work out how to use properly. An average person cant just get a horse and ride it, it needs lessons, training etc.

Also do you know how to prevent Botfly infections in horses? Didn't think so!

Medieval societies treated horses like Ferraris and had whole professions dedicated to their care.

So what now?

Gee, if only we had a low powered, easy to use vehicle that doesn't use gas or power? Something designed for cross country? Something that can be built in a non industrial society and can be endlessly repaired by even a moderately skilled person?

So whats the deal? Well thats just it! They dont want us to remember "Gee, bikes ARE really smart? I should be cycling more! In fact, we should have more cycling infrastructure to encourage it. Why dont we do that more?"

And that's it! "They" dont want you knowing this....

Think about it! Its all coordinated....

You telling me someone couldnt have just made THIS thing in The Postman or Mad Max?

I mean, just look at them both

Probably a lot of other movies as well. Just bots pretending to be cultured movie fans urging you to ignore the box office and see it for yourself. There's no way marketing departments haven't figured this out by now.

Started thinking why young people like pizza more than old people, then I realised many more modern cartoons (e.g. TMNT) are basically advertisement for pizza. Coincidence? Probably.

I always struggle more with the celebrity ones vs the general public where there is no contracts and screen time. Like itv im a celebrity follows a course has people who do their bit take the money and leave. You know faces we know are going to stay, to a length so it doesn’t feel true

This year it looks like the game didn’t go to plan early on. I don’t think the producers banked on Richard E grant fucking up so bad early

Which has sort of led to a workaround involving Jerry and Hannah Fry. But the coffin thing to me it looked sort of preplanned. No person is going haggis straightaway. But grant went so loud saying he was traitor the initial staging had to change once he’s gone

The other stuff Jerry has gone out of her way to do misdirection because Hannah’s body language is so obviously different as a traitor. The American women winked at the round table. And magically Haley out of corronation street clocks it. (Julie)

But it sort of had the usual format of names we know in the country and then outsiders less so. You know who’s going first to some extent. This years it’s been more obvious because E-grant made a nonce move against Lycet.

But tbh I prefer the public one where I don’t know anybody and can get lost in the fantasy of it

It’s plausible
