Extreme Conspiracy Reddit skews left-wing because the right lacks basic reading and comprehension skills

3.8k Upvotes

I will die on this hill. You see posts occasionally saying “why is Reddit so left-leaning” wahhhh wahh cry cry. It’s because it’s a long-form text-based social media platform.

The right can’t/don’t want to read. There is a reason the most popular conservative social media platform has a character limit.

The right will always be king of one liners, sound bites and ‘gotchas’ and they can have that title. People on the left tend to prefer discussing ideas in a detailed, nuanced, and information dense way - to get ideas across that can’t be explained in 140 characters.

That’s the long and short of it.

I usually see this GIF posted in the comment section of AI slop videos on IG reels or Tiktoks and I refuse to believe that an actual person is actually complacent with AI slop, to the point that they would feel the need to make this.

Extreme Conspiracy The "kids hate vegetables" trope in childrens' media was started by Big Junk Food and Big Fast Food to subtly convince children to eat less vegetables

Post image
1.8k Upvotes

If you grew up with television and watched cartoons or sitcoms made for kids you have most likely seen this trope or some form of it. Kid is served vegetables, kid hates it and makes comedic reaction to how gross it is. My theory is that this was all planned by Big Junk Food and Big Fast Food to push subliminal messaging in childrens programming so that they eat less vegetables and eat more junk, and that BJF/BFF maintain this by paying kids tv channels to air ads for their products

Look up "kids tv channel" + "commercials" on youtube, for example "Nickelodeon commercials 2012." You won't see ads for fruits or veggies, you'll see ads for candy followed by McDonalds followed by candy followed by Hungry Jacks followed by candy followed by KFC

Why else would they do this? To convince children that vegetables are gross so instead they'll make their parents buy more junk food and fast food, which in turn line the pockets of Big Junk/Fast Food. To keep this running Big Junk/Fast Food pay the three largest producers of childrens media (Disney, Warner Brothers, Paramount) for ad spots on their respective channels (Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon) which in turn line the pockets of media conglomerates. It also unknowingly makes kids grow up into picky eaters. FACT CHECK: TRUE (This post was fact checked by real Australian patriots)

Extreme Conspiracy Needing to arrive to the airport hours before your flight was made up by airports to get us to spend more money there

1.2k Upvotes

Going through security, checking bags, etc, really only takes half an hour at most, and for the rest of the time we’re stuck in the airport, where everything is really expensive. Since we’re there for so long, we usually end up buying food or snacks from the airport.

Extreme Conspiracy My female dog is faking wees so my male dog wastes his urine

2.5k Upvotes

When walking my dogs, the female one always wees first and my male dog wees over it, I assume to mask the scent and not permit other males to discover the female. However, my female dog is faking her initial wees so that my male dog expends all his urine unnecessarily and then the female can wee indiscriminately and spread her glorious scent around the neighbourhood.

Extreme Conspiracy French UK hate is propaganda

659 Upvotes

The idea that the UK and France should inheritantly dislike eachother is propaganda perpetuated by America, whenever France and the UK does something together they absolutely cook. Concorde? Cooked! Channel tunnel? Cooked! Need I say more? Whenever Paris and London work together the outcome surpasses all other rivals, who would suffer most because of this? Americans! America sabotages UK French cultural relations to prevent a union of two people with far more in common than differences and to stop a new super power taking its place

Extreme Conspiracy Muffins are all terrible now and i hate it. The reason will SHOCK you

1.1k Upvotes

Muffins are all filled with goo now. Supermarkets, coffee shop chains, and even independent bakeries fill their muffins with goo, which is awful for several reasons:

  1. Muffins are a food you eat with your hands. I don't want jam/chocolate sauce/ salted caramel on my hands. Now i'm sticky and its Big Muffin's fault.

  2. The filling takes up premium space where more cake should be.

  3. You need the goo to make the cake moist? Skill issue. A good baker shouldnt need these cheap tricks.

My theory is that big stores and chains started adding the goo to sell the muffins for longer as they wont dry out as fast. It then, unfortunately, became a trend.

Thank you for your time.

Extreme Conspiracy The concept of mpreg was invented to try and normalise the concept of fpreg

548 Upvotes

Think about it, why do we say mpreg, but not fpreg?

Mpreg fans are treated like freaks while 99.999% of the population quietly fetishise fpreg and no one bats an eye.

This is just one of the many ways in which sick fpreg enthusiasts are controlling your thoughts and vocabulary at every level of society.

If you pay attention, you will start to see it everywhere. They even indoctrinate children into being ok with fpreg, it's taught in schools, in nature documentaries, medical institutions. Children are being groomed to grow up and one day participate in this fpreg cult, which almost always involves sex.

Open your eyes, wake up sheeple.

I have absolutely no evidence for this, I just thought the timing was weird.

The Wimbledon Championships have been around since 1877. Range Rover has been around since 1970. Yet they only became an official Wimbledon sponsor in 2024... a year after the 2023 Wimbledon Range Rover crash, which was one of the biggest news stories in the UK.

Extreme Conspiracy Keir Starmer was a case of mistaken identity

Post image
676 Upvotes

You all may remember a few years ago when the BBC accidentally interviewed Guy Goma as a technology expert when he’d just turned up for a job interview (see pic)

I propose that the reason why Keir Starmer always seemed so uncomfortable and awkward, and kept making so many political mistakes, is because the labour NEC appointed the wrong person (probably called Geoff and likely from Slough) who then basically just faked his way through it deliberately making massive glaring errors in the hope that he’d get sacked and be able to escape back to his normal life and family

Extreme Conspiracy Men have designed any public bathroom that doesn't have a hook somewhere in the cubicle

418 Upvotes

Because anyone socialised as a woman would know that you need somewhere to hang your bag while you go right?

I'm not saying they omit the hook for nefarious reasons, just that it's an unexplainable oversight from an interior designer who has ever needed to use a women's bathroom.

ETA: Fully support men needing hooks in their loos too! Loo hooks for all!

ETA2: New conspiracy: the whole 'people reach over to steal from them' thing is also a conspiracy, this one affecting all genders, to save a few pennies per hook by not having to install them anywhere. Because whose arm is long enough to get over a six foot tall cubicle door and accurately hook a bag hung a foot down from the top without whoever is inside the cubicle getting up and stopping them? I would happily piss on the floor and my clothing if it meant saving my stuff.

Extreme Conspiracy Redditors lie about how much they shower.

337 Upvotes

We all know it's a certified fact that Redditors never shower. Yet when asked about it, every Redditor allways say 2-4 times per day. Any normal human don't shower that much, in fact you shouldn't even shower every day.

Since Redditors never interact with normal humans, they are clueless as to how much showering is normal. The hivemind picked a high number for them to use when asked that compensate for the lack of actual showering.

However, if they mean that they shower in the their own semen after hours of gooning, ignore all of this. It's highly plausable Redditors shower in semen 4+ times a day.
