22 Wild Conspiracy Theories People Actually Believe
With everything going on in the world, it's honestly no wonder that people want to theorize about the ways that governments, celebrities, and, uh, aliens might be conspiring against the masses. That being said, when we recently asked the BuzzFeed Community about which conspiracy theories they actually believe might be real, we got some truly WILD responses. Without further ado, here's how some of the over 300 commenters responded: "The housing crash was crap. I guess we're just a dishonest society, but how can both the seller and buyer be doing the wrong thing and have it collapse?" "The moon landing was staged... Murica is all about marketing... and competing with China and Russia, LOL." —catnamedcalamity "That the Egyptian pyramids were designed by aliens. I don't know how they could have been built so precisely otherwise?" "That there are cures for different cancers, but Big Pharma is keeping it quiet and such because their entire business is based on sick people." "I think that maybe Ouija boards are *really* cursed. Once, I did one, and it spelled out my friend's name (she had bone cancer; her name was Pam) and the next morning, we found out she'd passed away..." —mxcchio- "I think everyone sees colors differently. I.e., my red looks like your blue, but we both learned what we see as 'red.'" "Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were at first a publicity stunt." "That we are not real. Our galaxy is just located in a locker in a station in outer space or in the charm on the collar of a big orange cat." "That the calendar is built like it is (i.e., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) so we have to buy new ones every year, and it was all done by the calendar corporations to leech off our money." —the_snookie "Alien civilizations want nothing to do with the people of Earth because we are basically the trailer trash of the universe! We're supposed to be an intelligent society, but everything we do is to our detriment. We let people die because we don't share with each other, we have imaginary lines that people can't cross, and things that should be free, like food, clothes, and shelter, need to be bought with money." "The current state of the US is a direct result of Republican meddling, starting in 1968. The intent was to slowly dumb down the population, thus making them easier to control. The 'conspiracy' is that it was intentional." "AI listens to us all." "That HGTV developed the open concept home to make money. Smash down walls with sledgehammers = more male viewership. Fewer walls means less materials, but builders can still charge the same as they were for more traditional homes." —micahdr "The government wants us all to be sick and dumb so we can rely on them for money and food. Doing this gives them full control. That's why our education levels suck compared to other countries and healthy food is so damn expensive." "Religion was created by men to deny the fact that women are the superior gender — oh wait." "Democrats and Republicans are two wings of the same bird. They're working together and just give constituents the illusion of choice. They're in politics for themselves and for the monied elite." "The world really did end in 2012 in accordance with the Mayan Calendar, and our collective consciousness has been uploaded into a simulation that is being observed by aliens for their entertainment." —certified_drapetomaniac"Or this is the bad place, and they're running out of plot lines to torture us."—monikap6 "Aliens got here a long, long time ago, and they're in the ocean." "IDK if it's a conspiracy theory, but aliens are definitely out there. There are billions of planets that could sustain life out there, so that's billions of opportunities for life to evolve. It happened on Earth, why can't it happen somewhere else in the universe?" "The current elites are doing space travel because they plan to go up to space for a few days while they get robot drones and droids to kill us, and then they'll come back to Earth to enjoy their privilege." "The paintings on display in museums and art galleries are replicas, and the real ones are hidden in a vault somewhere." —ishouldstopactingcool And finally, "Dragons were real." So, we have to ask: What's a conspiracy theory you believe is real? Get weird in the comments.

57 Hilariously Bad Design Fails
This art shop should've gotten a second opinion from an outside source before launching. This, too. They really didn't think this one through, huh? Or this one. This is *maybe* not the best place for this decor. Someone messed up here. Yeah, sure, let's pretend those are flames. these supposed to be side by side? Am I the only one who read "Boobless America" at first? My mind went there, too. C'mon, music today isn't THAT bad. going on here? "The is the kitchen home heart of the" or "The kitchen is the home heart of the"? are they gonna do when they all have homes??? How did no one notice this??? "DIS GON B GUD" is gonna unironically join my vocabulary. "Please don't drive, block the way!" "Don't Get Shot: The Flu, at CVS." Something's off here... Why am I licking my trash bin again? They definitely did this on purpose. This one, too. Nice. Hmm... Finally, a wedding shop for Alexis from Schitt's Creek. What does this even mean? "DIE for success!" sounds like a motto for 'Murica. The Tim WHAT use??? This must be a very impressive toothbrush if it can give my cat teeth like THAT. And this is why you don't use AI to design your logos, folks. This is just a monstrosity. I don't think this illustrator has ever seen a hand before. Let me know if you see what I see here, or if I just have a dirty mind. Same with this one. And this one. The irony of this being from an architecture and design conference... Oh look, an advertisement for Beetlejuice! How to Who designed this mannequin??? Have they never seen a human before? You really gotta be careful with putting people's pictures on cars. Case in point. I see the vision, I guess? What's even the point of writing the name like this? This off-brand really thought no one would notice anything off about this Lightning McQueen knockoff. Elsa? Anna??? You What is this even supposed to say? it is not. ...What? Why would anyone design a bacon Band-Aid in the first place??? ...Amen. It took me a full minute to figure out how to read this. I' sure what I'm looking at here. Actually, I'm pretty sure I do, but it's obscene. "PEEEEEE!" I actually feel bad for laughing at this one. Anyone else think this looks like a bomb vest? And finally, this Photoshop job could've used a second set of eyes. H/T: r/CrappyDesign

This new pink American-style diner in Joo Chiat serves frozen custard, Philly cheesesteaks and more
You don't need a plane ticket to get your fix of American diner fare. Nestled in the heart of Joo Chiat, Gwen's Frozen Custard and Ices is a new diner serving up classic 'Murica food. The diner features minimalist pink-and-white striped wallpaper, with framed photos of menu items adding a casual charm. Retro touches, like a vintage rotary phone – in pink, of course – complete the look, channelling the vibe of a classic American diner. But this diner is not just a great backdrop for your Instagram pictures. Beyond the retro decor is a menu of greasy, hearty comfort food that's sure to satisfy. Tuck into New York-inspired cheeseburgers ($15), Philly cheesesteaks ($16), and grilled cheese sandwiches ($14) – all simple yet indulgent classics. For something lighter, pair the tomato soup ($5.50) with a side of cottage fries ($7), which are essentially extra-crispy crisscut fries. Dessert lovers can look forward to creamy frozen custard ($6.50), which you can customise with toppings such as Oreos, Biscoff, pretzels, caramel syrup and more. If you haven't had frozen custard before, it's essentially ice cream, but with a much thicker consistency. So thick, in fact, that you can flip the cup upside down without your sweet treat flowing out.
