Bored Panda got in touch with the fantastically named Accomplished-Leg-991 who posed the initial question to internet users and they were kind enough to answer some of our questions. Naturally, we were curious to hear why they decided to query the internet about the strangest conspiracy theories people have had the (misfortune) of hearing.
“I was prompted to ask the question after seeing a “conspiracy iceberg” full of dark and also weird conspiracies,” they shared with Bored Panda. Interestingly, the “slippery slope” that gets people into conspiracy theories as true believers seems to also generate interest in the more niche variants.

Accomplished-Leg-991’s post ended up going quite viral as many people shared all the outlandish things they have heard, so we wanted to hear their opinion on what attracted folks to the thread. “I think the post got good reach as it is something most people will think about and hold in their heads as absurd or crazy and makes them wanna spill.”

Lastly, we wanted to hear if Accomplished-Leg-991 themselves had heard any particularly bizarre conspiracy theories in person. “I’ve heard tons of crazy conspiracy theories but clockwork elves, the theory of the Las Vegas shooter, and the dancing plague I love. Plus there are tons more but there are a few,” they shared with Bored Panda.
