I’m not a conspiracy theory guy but I seen the post on 9/11 on no stupid questions and it seemed more fleshed out than I expected.

And what are the most believable conspiracy theories out there?

Eliot the man was whining about being lonely in London turn of last century. Humans are social animals so yeah there is always going to be someone who feels like they aren’t getting enough attention.
