There was a study that showed that the biggest indicator for whether or not someone believes in a conspiracy theory is if they already believe in another. Some people just love the idea of being "in the know" and having access to some secret information. Basically, the same ppl who believe on the flat Earth probably also believe Hitler escapes to Argentina and that Big Foot is real. Obviously, some conspiracy theories are more valid than others (JFK assassination, deep state, Jewish elite controlling the world), but others are clearly baseless. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out the CIA or some other government agency creates them to make those on the political fringe look stupid.
You don't think bigfoot is real?
Could you imagine having to wax all that?
Don't know if your trolling, but show me proof. And if you post that fucking video of a guy in a Bigfoot costume walking in the woods, I will come through your monitor to strangle you.
I need to find that video now, just cause 😂.
Nope I'm not trolling.
Do you know that we've barely explored the earth? New apes are discovered all the time. I think one was just discovered in 2017. Also, have you ever read the etymology of the word "gorilla?"
The word "gorilla" comes from the history of Hanno the Navigator, (c. 500 BC) a Carthaginian explorer on an expedition on the west African coast to the area that later became Sierra Leone. Members of the expedition encountered "savage people, the greater part of whom were women, whose bodies were hairy, and whom our interpreters called Gorillae". It is unknown whether what the explorers encountered were what we now call gorillas, another species of ape or monkeys, or humans.[6] Skins of gorillai women, brought back by Hanno, are reputed to have been kept at Carthage until Rome destroyed the city 350 years later at the end of the Punic Wars, 146 BC.
The American physician and missionary Thomas Staughton Savage and naturalist Jeffries Wyman first described the western gorilla (they called it Troglodytes gorilla) in 1847 from specimens obtained in Liberia. The name was derived from Ancient Greek Γόριλλαι (gorillai) 'tribe of hairy women', described by Hanno.
I didn't always have an opinion on this topic. I used to think it was stupid to even worry with such a thing. But I discovered this really fun guy named Bob Gymlan. He makes amazing videos on cryptids, and approaches this topic in a very careful and considerate way. I highly encourage you to explore what he has to say, for no other reason than to knock one more thing down that you've been lied to about. I've watched all his videos, some of the more recent ones aren't so good.

Edited to add, are you a Bible believer? Essau in the Bible was covered in hair like a goat. In my studies I've come to the conclusion that these people are descendents of nephilim.
Hypertrichosis is what modern science likes to classify the remnants of this genetic mutation.

Oh I forgot what really got me into looking into this. On one of my husband's combat deployments he used to ruck through the mountains of afghanistan. The locals would point and say, no go, and the translator would tell him there were yetis in the mountains. Almost everywhere you go where there are indigenous people, there is also knowledge of these kinds of "creatures." The fact that these guys were telling him not to go and seemed afraid really piqued my interest.
