    This conspiracy doesn’t go deep enough to satisfy me. Look up “Donald Marshal cloning” for a huge fucking rabbit hole of “celebrity clones”

      Or Kamala pretending to be … Black?

      It’s not even conspiracy any more just racism and hatred. I miss the days with real conspiracy theories like the cops has a beeper that turns the signal green or there is a hidden maze under some important building etc.

        Reality is so disappointing. Cops having control of traffic lights was so much more optimistic than them just abusing their sirens to get through them.

          In many areas, at least in the U.S., emergency responders can definitely change traffic lights. I’ve personally been on both sides of it multiple times.

            Yes they can!

            There are many different ways it’s done but one I find the coolest is a signaling light hooked into the siren of an emergency vehicle. Traffic lights can look for this signal from vehicles and, upon seeing it, heavily prioritize letting the lane it’s in have a green.

      I saw a YT video breaking down some clip of Stevie dodging out of the way of a mic being knocked over and almost hit him. Claiming Stevie saw it and that’s why he moved so fast.

      I’m like the dude was walking past Stevie. He probably noticed that and heard the knock. He uses his other sense. What is wrong with critical thinking and people?

    The reason this makes no sense is that musical artists are worth more dead than alive

        The origins of the theory can be traced back to the 2011 Brazilian blog Avril Está Morta (“Avril Is Dead”)

        Uh uh… quite the source.

          If the claim is that someone made this theory in 2011, then yes, that’s a perfectly good source. The whole theory is of course bonkers, but nowhere is it claimed that there is a shed of evidence supporting it, just that the theory exists.

          I mean even the blog itself was made up, as stated in the Wikipedia article.

      You mean Steev Mike. I swear this conspiracy was about 20 years ago now; there was a suitably crazy website devoted to it.

    I don’t know about this one, but there are many Hollywood celebrities dying under strange circumstance. It’s a very interesting rabbit hole.
