Even if you weren't alive, chances are, you know about Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin being the first two people to ever walk on the moon. In fact, you may know someone who was alive when it happened and watched it on TV.

The fact is, an estimated 530 million people watched the moon landing on TV, and yet, some people still think its fake.

There is a conspiracy theory out there that says we faked the moon landing to convince the Russians that the United States had won the space race! It's crazy, strange, and most of all, stupid. The proof is in the pudding (or in the American flag Armstrong planted on the moon).

Redditors know of lots of stupid conspiracy theories, and they are only too eager to share!


It all started when Redditor willywonkerbonker asked:

"What is the stupidest conspiracy theory?"

Flat, Flatter, Flattest

"That the earth is flat"

"Edit: I have come to the conclusion that the earth is in fact the shape of a doughnut."

"Second edit: I have come to my second conclusion to the fact that mars is indeed a chocolate bar"

Tracker

"Microchip in vaccines. If the government wanted to spy on you, they could do it a thousand times easier by tapping your phone."

– Nikola_Turing

"Anybody with a smart phone voluntarily agreed to be tracked and followed 24/7 the moment they turned it on haha"

"lol people are so silly.."

– BeginningCap2333

It's A Bird, It's A Plane!

"That planes can't actually fly because the claimed weight of fuel cannot fit into the size of the tanks and even if it did, it would make the plane too heavy to fly."

– teefau

"If planes aren't flying... How do people fly in planes and get out the other side....."

They've Already Won

"I'm from the UK and the theories about this alarm system the government are putting on the phones is wild."

– _Rare_Smoke_

"“They’re doing it to control us!!!” They’re the government. They govern you. They are the law makers. They already control you. They don’t need to make a big conspiracy to do that."

6 Continents

"That Australia does not exist"

– germany_science_1

"They say that everyone in Australia are payed actors. If that’s true then where is my bloody check?!"

"Still waiting on mine"

My Cat, My Choice

"A former friend and mentor called me up one day and said that she read somewhere that pets in America consume more meat than the entire country of France. And since raising livestock is bad for the environment, the article said liberals want all pets destroyed. That's why she lives in a red state and has so many guns, to protect her cats from the liberals. I asked her to send me that article but she never did."

– Squatchopotamus

"Pretty sure pets are loved by liberals and conservatives alike lol. At least, all the ppl I know in both sides have at least a goldfish."

– Jessiefrance89

Famous Clones

"That Avril Lavigne was replaced with a look alike, as if aging and plastic surgery aren’t things."

– babythrottlepop

"This has been going on since Paul McCartney was accused of being cloned. Look up the Paul Is Dead theory"

"After that it was Eminem"

"Now Avril"

"Soon will probably be Justin Beiber or Kid Laroi or something."

– Fun-Adhesiveness9219

True Freedom

"The idea that "walkable cities" is some NWO/WEF plot to "control" people and keep them confined to small areas."

"Walkable cities is how most cities, and even many suburbs and small towns, used to be. My mother grew up in South Boston in the 60s and 70s, and she points out how she had almost everything her family needed within a 5-10 walk of her house: grocery stores, delis, banks, pharmacies, corner stores, schools (two on her block and one across the street), liquor store, boutique, shoe store, toy store, post office, candy and ice cream, barbers and hairstylists, playgrounds and parks, bars and restaurants, repair shop, hardware store, a family doctor, a dentist, laundromat, coffee and donuts, and pizza."

"More was reachable by bike, the rest of Boston by public transportation, and her father and friends had cars to go elsewhere...they just didn't need to use their cars to go everywhere, because the basics were readily accessible to them. But sure, being wholly reliant on cars and having to shell over tens of thousands of dollars to auto makers and oil CEOs to spend time idling in traffic just for the basic necessities and daily services of life, that's Freedom™."

– Dahhhkness

"I lived for a year in the city centre of Munich, I had every type of shop and restaurant within walking distance, everything else was connected by a super cheap and reliable tram, bus and subway system. Parking was a premium and people with cars tended to only really use them to go out to the countryside or if they worked in a space outside the city slightly too far from a train station."

"It was expensive but nowhere near London levels for example. And not needing a car frees up a lot of income."

–Wind_Yer_Neck_In

Gone But Not Forgotten

"All the “dead celebrity is secretly alive” crap."

"2Pac and Biggie were both peppered with bullets with multiple witnesses and you think they faked it?"

" Michael Jackson, the biggest singles artist in modern music and arguably the most famous person alive at the time, is still going somewhere and left his family in mourning?"

"Don’t even get me started on the Elvis gang…"

– International_Ant217

Truly Real

"Thinking that "global warming" was just invented to raise taxes, or whatever. It is so massively stupid to think that all governments and serious scientists, scientific institutions, etc - worldwide - is in on some conspiracy, to what.. raise your taxes? They could do that anyway..."

"The flat earth, no moon landings, etc - that's all for people who simply aren't all that bright to begin with - but the fake global warming conspiracy is widely believed, and accepted in mainstream politics even. Doesn't get much more stupid than that."

– normalguy_AMA

"I love how global warming deniers think that climate scientists are all swimming in piles of research grant money like Scrooge McDuck, but fossil fuel CEOs are honest, salt-of-the-earth people whose only passion in life is making sure people have jobs."

– Dahhhkness

We Are Needed

"That vaccines are an intentional plot to kill people. This isn't a Marvel movie. We don't need to get rid of large segments of the population. The 1% need us alive, buying things, and providing the services they depend on, like cheeseburgers and trash removal and truck driving."

– notreallylucy

All Aboout Lizards

"The “meteor” that hit earth was actually a spaceship that the dinosaurs left on so they could avoid the ice age. They sent back lizard people to purposely control industries and warm up the earth back to the dinosaur’s ideal temperature. The lizard people are purposely trying to invoke nuclear wars to clear the landscape again for dinosaurs."

– Element202

Uh...Where Did This One Even Come From?

"Birds aren’t real. The US government systematically eradicated and replaced all birds with surveillance drones in the FIFTIES."

– w0lfn0ise

People don't actually believe that...do they?
