Hollow earth and similar conspiracy theories are complete nonsense, but at least they’re not boring nonsense. “Our entire understanding of our own history and world is fundamentally broken and the reality is something that shouldn’t be possible” is a hell of a hook for any story and one I’ll happily steal for a future video game or tabletop RPG.
Main.
The best one I’ve seen is that the Roman Empire is made up and never existed. Top quality brain worms.

it’s mainly your fault, tbh
This is what I miss about pre-Trump conspiracy theories. Sure there was still thinly veiled bigotry, but there was a lot more focus on weird shit like this
Ok I gotta admit I LOVE this conspiracy please post more like this
main
Why are people saying main?
THE MAIN RULE: ALL TEXT POSTS MUST CONTAIN “MAIN” OR BE ENTIRELY IMAGES (INLINE OR EMOJI)
Weird rules on this comm. I think it only applies to posts and not comments though.
I think they just stopped enforcing it altogether for the most part. A couple months ago they were removing comment after comment, post after post because it didn’t have “main”
That’s so odd lol
Hexbear has a rich history of doing weird bits that stop being funny after like 2 minutes, long before we finally federated with the rest of lemmy, this one started pretty recently

That’s goofy, love it.
The deep lore is that we used to have main, then they took it away for reasons I can’t remember (to encourage people to use other comms instead of sticking everything in main, maybe?), then they brought it back recently, but with the joke that you have to say “main.”
i bought acid a couple of times off this guy who talked about how the layout of the pyramid complexes in egypt perfectly line up with some astrological formation of celestial bodies and how north africa used to be a tropical rainforest, but the early egyptians used to teleport to and from the stars using the pyramids but something went wrong and they brought down the “harshness of space” which destroyed the biome, turning it into a desert.
15 years later, i was working alongside this actual legit archaeologist/egyptologist and relayed this story, totally deadpan like i bought it, and when i was done she was not even remotely impressed. the look on her face was priceless.

I assume the obelisks are standing on an infinite regress of turtles? Or are the bases sticking out the other side what mainly makes up Polynesia?
they’re actually the toes of the Rapa’nui moai 🗿 🗿
Sure hollow earth theory doesn’t really mesh with plate tectonics unless the vril secretly drain underground rivers, but it’s a fun pseudoscience. Read Etidorhpa
Well, they probably aren’t… but did someone actually check? Do we know what is under them?
Lets get shovels and go check!Nooooo don’t awken the g’oulds.
Inside you are two hollow earths.

you think a few squiggly lines can end the under-empire? fool, fool! main
Met a 19 year old SoundCloud rapper that thought the earth was flat and refused to give us his real name the other day. Internet brain poisoning mainly aimed at younger people is a very real phenomenon
