Doesn't have to be one you think is true or even possible. Could be niche or mainstream. Mine is probably Mike Tyson threw that Jake Paul fight. I heavily believe Tyson did everything he could and is just old. Not to mention he's fighting a roided up good athlete in his physical prime with a limited engagement strategy. I do like hearing people argue its all staged, understandable cope.

This conspiracy theory is called Last Thursdayism. Basically, the conspiracy is that the entire universe was created last Thursday. But we were all created with “memories” of time before last Thursday, so we all collectively believe the universe is much older. Basically, all of the evidence we have of an old universe was also created last Thursday.

The debate on whether Last Thursdayism is true has raged on ever since the creation of the universe last Thursday.

Lol
