Can we talk about that 'birds aren't real' documentary I watched last night?

I watched it as a joke with my roommate in Chicago, but the way they presented the 'evidence' about drone replacements actually made me pause and think about how easy it is to frame anything as plausible if you control the narrative, so what's a conspiracy you initially dismissed that later gave you a weird moment of doubt?

My friend in Denver convinced me chemtrails were fake, but @reese_chen is right about proof.

That "weird moment of doubt" thing is interesting, but honestly, it's just good storytelling. They can make anything sound possible for an hour. The real trick is asking if there's a single piece of proof that holds up when you actually look into it. Most of the time, the answer is no. It's fun to think about, but I never actually lose sleep over it. The world is weird enough without adding extra layers.

You're right about the storytelling, @reese_chen, but sometimes the lack of proof is what feels weird.
