Five Online Casino Conspiracy Theories That Refuse to Die

Hello again, friends. We were going to write about something else this week, but then one of us stumbled into a Reddit thread about online slots being “pre-programmed” to win or lose at specific times, and what was supposed to be a quick scroll turned into three days of arguing in our group chat about whether servers in Malta really do hate you personally. We’ve emerged with notes and mild eye strain, and we’re here to share.
The usual reminder. None of us own tin-foil hats (well, two of us do, but only for parties), and we don’t actually believe most of what follows. Conspiracy theories are at their best when nobody is taking them too seriously, and online gambling has produced...

Denver International Airport: The Conspiracy Beneath the Runways

Most airports are forgettable. Denver International is not. Since it opened in 1995, this sprawling Colorado hub has attracted a remarkable amount of conspiracy theory, thanks to a strange mix of unsettling art, odd design choices, and a famously troubled construction. Let us explore why so many travellers feel a chill walking through it.
A Troubled Beginning
The airport got off to a suspicious start. It opened sixteen months late and ran roughly two billion dollars over budget, an overrun that demanded explanation. It was also built far from the city on a huge plot of land, much larger than the airport seemed to need. To skeptics, the obvious question was simple. What was all that extra money...

The Mandela Effect: When the World Misremembers

Have you ever been completely certain about a fact, only to discover that reality disagrees, and that thousands of other people remember it your way too? That unsettling feeling has a name. It is called the Mandela Effect, and it is one of the strangest entries in our whole collection.
Where the Name Comes From
The term was coined by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome around 2009. She discovered that she, along with a surprising number of other people, vividly remembered Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s. They recalled news coverage and even his widow's speech. In reality, Mandela was released in 1990, went on to become president of South Africa, and died in 2013.

The Moon Landing Hoax: Examining the Arguments

On 20 July 1969, an estimated six hundred million people watched Neil Armstrong step onto the surface of the Moon. It remains one of humanity's greatest achievements. And yet, almost from the moment it happened, a persistent group of skeptics has insisted the whole thing was staged. Today we examine their arguments one by one.
Why People Doubt
The hoax theory took hold in the 1970s, helped along by a self published book and later by a wave of television specials. The reasoning behind it is partly emotional and partly political. The space race was a Cold War contest, and some argue the United States simply had to win it, by faking the result if necessary. Throw in...

Area 51 and Roswell: America’s Most Secret Base

No conspiracy collection would be complete without Area 51. For decades this remote patch of Nevada desert has been the beating heart of UFO folklore, a place where, depending on who you ask, the government either tests cutting edge aircraft or stores the remains of visitors from another world. Let us dig into the story.
A Base That Did Not Officially Exist
Part of what makes Area 51 so compelling is that for most of its life, the United States government refused to admit it existed at all. The facility sits beside a dry lake bed called Groom Lake, deep inside a restricted military zone. It was only in 2013 that the CIA formally acknowledged the site in...

The Bermuda Triangle: What Lies Behind the Disappearances

Few places on Earth have captured the imagination quite like the Bermuda Triangle. This stretch of ocean, loosely drawn between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, has been blamed for the disappearance of dozens of ships and aircraft over the decades. Today we want to take a closer look at the legend and weigh the theories that try to explain it.
How the Legend Began
The idea of a cursed triangle is surprisingly modern. While sailors had told stories about the area for centuries, the phrase "Bermuda Triangle" only entered popular culture in 1964, when writer Vincent Gaddis used it in a magazine article. A handful of bestselling books in the 1970s did the rest, turning a vague region...

Flat Earth Theory – The Arguments

No matter where you live or how long you’ve spent on the Internet, there’s no way you haven’t heard the Flat Earth Theory or the conspiracy theory that our planet is not a globe, but a flat surface.
We decided to dedicate this article to this always popular theory by dissecting the most widely used arguments (and some obscure ones) of the proponents of the Flat Earth Theory.
Historical Perspective
Before we discuss the arguments of the flat Earth believers, we thought it was necessary to bring up historical accounts of this belief, as well as various myths from all around the world. This belief, after all, is not a modern creation, but a sort of revival of the old...
