What conspiracy theories do you know of?
I don't really know of any conspiracy theories. I think I briefly looked at a few in the later half of the 2000s. All I mainly remember is the term 'useless eaters', a term for people who just eat, or consume, without putting anything back into society, or more importantly for the proponents of the conspiracy, those who put nothing back into the economy. I just found a page online talking about it, linking it to the Nazis, and saying the term was revived in 2020s.
These days they (conspiracies) outnumber traffic cones on the motorway.

Amazing how this kind of idea can spread yet non of them ask what capitalism is.
One of the maddest I have heard recently was that oil companies make out that oil is scarce when it is not actually made of fossils (because evolution isn't real of course) it is a natural resource just like water and is therefore infinite.

Re: What conspiracy theories do you know of?
My interest in conspiracies has mainly to do with creative applications for media like art, film, novels, games, and what ideas may really stretch and break the way in which people think and the challenge of taking really wild seeming ideas that are absurd or surreal and how they may be made convincing, and even if they aren't convincing, it can sometimes still be fun and entertaining.
I've noticed that one of the the most creative seeming elements in paranoid thinking can be attributing sentience to objects typically considered inanimate or otherwise even non-substantial, having no objective material body or form, but which are conceptual, like the idea that "language is an alien force parasitically conquering human beings" as well as other things which could be deemed as scandalous in relation to something like language. People can also attribute sentience to things like a religion or an ideology or a corporation, and that can sometimes feel interesting and thought provoking.
The people complaining about "useless eaters" probably are like that themselves for the most part, but want other people to be forced to do as much as possible to serve them and their own class while they themselves would abhor contributing as much as they would typically demand of others.
For a while now, it appears that societies that we are familiar with and which are most widespread are those which try to maintain a class of desperate laborers who live on the edge of poverty and destitute conditions and work less than half-heartedly for the sake of survival, while an increasingly small proportion of the population lives stress free off of everything they do and serve up, and after a period where it maybe didn't seem so bad, things are seemingly sliding back to an extreme gap where people are experiencing a sense that their efforts can not earn them the things they may have been able to afford in the past.
This pressure is easily predictable, and it makes it seem like another conspiracy, one in which the populace is deliberately being put under increasing stress, possibly just to see what it will take and how far the abuses can go before it puts at risk any system which those controlling such systems would wish to maintain.
Most conspiracies have at least some things in common, and that is typically the paranoid suspicion that something is working ill and against the good, usually in favor of itself, and so any benefit that it achieves from whatever it is claimed that the group benefiting is deriving from their actions is cut off from the general populace, or most people, and in very extreme paranoid feelings just from one person mainly, usually the person complaining, and these are sometimes called feelings of persecution.
Some people go around shunning and shaming anyone who brings up anything that sounds paranoid, but there have been numerous cases proven of some of the most strange things that people would have called unbelievable and even ridiculous, being entirely true, yet for a sense of stability and safety, people continuously rely on things like Occam's Razor and denial and the belief in people being unlikely to do the craziest things, even in the face of the news reporting do many strange things regularly that people might want to re-assess how odd things may really be.
Even films don't dare present things as they apparently often really are, for fear of seeming "unreslistic", when the true "real" may be completely insane, and the common things that the majority of people have agreed upon as the truth, may be nothing but comforting lies that we tell ourselves, and things that we would laugh out of any discussion, or never even think of because of how inconceivable it may be, may be the actual fact at any given time, and it could even be that precedent and regularity at any given time or which any individual may feel that they are experiencing, doesn't apply to things outside themselves or their own experiences, so that things from the past may have been different and not running on the same scheme as we imagine things are running now, like how people may have believed in magic at some point and at that point it may have looked and felt far more convincing than now.

He probably couldn't figure out a way to get her to die using the pills, or planted them afterwards anyway, and wanted a much more guaranteed way, as women using guns of themselves is very rare but is a common method with men.

She shot herself twice too? The murderers often make that mistake, but they seem to get away with it too.

"
In a bizarre twist, in January of this year, police responded to what they called a "suspicious" death of an amateur sleuth who had been researching the O'Connell case on their own.
The private citizen was found shot dead in their St. Augustine condo, which is within the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office's jurisdiction but the department turned the case over to the neighboring Putnam County Sheriff's Office due to the O'Connell case connection. That person's death was classified as a homicide and the investigation remains open.

This stuff is so depressing.

Tin foil hat wearers etc. The idea of an alien language used to have a really strong pull on me, around the time of the x-files in the 90s, so much of the culture I leant toward from that time actually. A telepathic language you'd see as amorphous fluorescent shape shifting blobs in your mind (amongst other things).
Later (after I had resumed some form of functionality in the world, and gone on to study for a fine art degree) around the turn of the century, I found a website about shamanism talking about the concept of the alien and death, and that really held fascination for me. I wrote an essay during my fine art degree about shamanism and the alien shortly after.
The idea of chemtrails, doesn't seem so outlandish to me. Part of me fears it, and vaccines, that the "elites" see us as cattle, and are taking steps to domesticate us toward the docility of cattle. I wonder if cattle will evolve to overcome us. I'm not an anti-vaxxer, I got my covid jabs during the pandemic, but still, it feels like a choice, who do I trust, it still feels to be a leap of faith to get the vaccine.

Re: What conspiracy theories do you know of?
Great posts, and thank you so much for making them. I grew up during the same period and was influenced by the same things from the 90s and early 2000s and the particular mixture of ideas that were floating around at that time, and all that is extremely nostalgic and positive feeling for me, even though much of it is also quite dark.
These days I practically trust nothing and would probably be considered a conspiratorial thinker, even though I think that today such mistrust in authority and institutions may be much more common place. I scoff at and doubt a lot.
Here are some illustrative videos as I like to sometimes podt for entertainment purposes which I feel may capture some feeling of different levels of conspiracy, paranoia, dark thinking including dark comedy, and the modern Gothic Americana, Neo-Noir, Cyberpunk feelings that permeated my upbringing.

As far as I'm concerned and from my end this forum for me is a suitable place for all sorts of things that interest me, so stuff like Twin Peaks, The X-Files, and Supernatural, as well as things like Max Payne and Alan Wake, as well as Die Hard and Die Hard 2 especially, seem well suited here, besides my interests which are more historical and related to fantasy rather than pop culture and science fiction sorts of conspiratorial things:
