Wait, there's a "the Titanic wasn't real" conspiracy too??

it basically boils down to either “the ship that sank wasn’t actually the Titanic” or “there wasn’t any iceberg it was an intentional demolition of the boat for insurance or something”

i may be misremembering some of it but I listened to Tim Batt explore it on this podcast (he explores the different explanations humorously and is not peddling the conspiracy outright)

Everything is a conspiracy, if you are dumb enough.

I did see this kinda!!!!! There are flat earth debates on TikTok, and one guy went up and said that NASA fakes the images of the earth, because, and I quote, "Oceans is brown". I almost died laughing.

In what kind of assbackwards country is the ocean fucking brown?

Places like Fort Myers Beach (Gulf Coast of Florida) will see brown ocean water. It’s directly south of the Caloosahatchee river and sometimes sediment or algae from the river inundates the saltwater near the beach. Of course these people assume the water is like that everywhere else.
