wa27 posted:My conspiracy theory: Modern tempered glass phone screen protectors don't do anything and are a big scam. They break easily so every time someone drops their phone and shatters their screen protector, they're like "thank God I had the screen protector!" And then they have to buy 3 or 4 of them every year for 8 bucks a pop. When in reality the drop wouldn't have broken the screen in the first place. For a while it was my conspiracy theory that phone protectors in general were scams because who the gently caress just goes around dropping valuable poo poo that they're holding? Like, don't let go of it. It's like needing seatbelts for your couch.

They do protect against scratches, but these days the phone screens are stronger than the tempered glass screen, and if the force is strong enough to shatter your phone screen, the tempered glass probably will not have helped. Also, there's no difference in protection between a $5 tempered glass protector and a $40 one so if you are going to use one, get the cheap ones. But also - using screen protectors sucks. A lot of them just don't feel right, they screw with the touch sensitivity, add more glare, etc. Using a case with a lip that extends beyond the screen combined with not storing your phone in the same pocket as your keys is enough for most people.

That’d save tons of potential risk of damage and possibly traffic accidents. for example if you are leaving the house to run errands for the day in your town without going anywhere you’ve never been then chances are you can leave that thing at home

Every job you've ever worked at knows a minor thing that winds you up. They make sure to hire/employ at least one person who does that thing. Sometimes more.

Record companies will promote white rappers that make albums that are funny or at least non-serious but nearly all of the black artists they promote make angry or serious albums which contributes to the "angry black man" stereotype. This seems to have changed a bit in recent years but was true for a long time. I am not trying to say that angry or serious albums aren't good, just that the intentional of variety you see in popular rap is artificial and dumb.

There are people and bots employed online solely to discredit the recent bidet movement in an effort to preserve the indefinite American dependence on toilet paper and the socially enabled, daily employee-abuse that is forcing employees to use single ply toilet paper.

I can think of a fringe belief that I'd like to be true, if I had to choose one: that budgerigars and other birds communicate with the divine, who wants us to be good to each other (give or take a bunch of nonsense about quantum) and also sometimes tell the budgies what pretty birds they are, and clever too

My personal conspiracy theory is that the cold blooded reptilian aliens used to control the government but they cut their losses and bogged off back to space when they realized just how determined we are to destroy ourselves. I also believe that the USA has built the worlds largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in Australia, its the last place that you would expect to find them therefore making it the perfect hiding spot.

Social media is manipulated not just by think tanks, PACs, and profit-seeking AI, but by more effective NSA(and other country equivalent)-controlled AI/algorithms and groups of astroturfers and agents working with them. These groups promulgate toxic meme complexes for political ends. Modern political movements didn't grow solely organically - they were heavily influenced, programmed into society by dueling agencies. Because people's values are socially transmitted and reinforced, they can now be controlled(at a statistical, societal level) with incredible effectiveness.

The chandelier store down the street from me is a front. The evidence: 1) In the 4 years I've lived here, I've never seen it open once. 2) I've never seen a worker in there. 3) It's full of crates all the time. 4) There's graffiti on the street-facing window that has been there for years. 5) It is a chandelier store.
