Doesn't have to be one you think is true or even possible. Could be niche or mainstream. Mine is probably Mike Tyson threw that Jake Paul fight. I heavily believe Tyson did everything he could and is just old. Not to mention he's fighting a roided up good athlete in his physical prime with a limited engagement strategy. I do like hearing people argue its all staged, understandable cope.

I've always loved the Denver Airport conspiracy theory - that it is actually the secret headquarters of the illuminati or other organisations. It was $2bn over budget and has tunnels under it, which have led people to claim there are also secret bunkers under the airport. It also has a few bizarre pieces of art within it.

I think it's just an airport with ugly aesthetic choices but I love that people think of all the places a global secret society would base itself, they'd pick Denver Airport.

Apparently there are 6 underground levels at the airport - but they're used to run an airport. And the tunnels were for a failed automated baggage transport system. The art is just art.

I love the art bit of it.

Let's build this secret underground bunker system that no one can know about. But also, scatter weird art and clues around, in case nicolas cage is visiting

That’s a key component of the Illuminati conspiracies. Basically, they believe that Illuminati members are required to create symbolism, as a way of telling the plebs “hey, we’re here and there’s nothing you can do to stop us.”
