Conspiracy Theories and Lions: Rachael Gilbert

So...I've been doing this whole "blog post" thing for awhile now, and a couple of weeks ago in a fit of narcissism...I read every blog post I'd ever made.
Every.
Last.
One.
^at three a.m.

This led me to the conclusion that anyone who has read them all will conclude (somewhat correctly) that I am insane.

Spoiler Alert: this blog post isn't going to help my case.

So we all have weird things we do, right? Weird little ticks or interests, Jodi for example (yes I AM name dropping here) is obsessed with K-Pop...Allie really likes Percy Jackson, etc.

Mine is a little stranger.

I really like researching conspiracy theories in my spare time. I have an entire YouTube playlist devoted to it (entitled "The Truth is Out There"), which is like, fourteen hours long. It's not like I believe in them or anything...(most of the time), it's just how I genuinely enjoy spending my time.

One of my favorite conspiracy theories is two-fold.
1.) We just one universe which is situated next to an infinite number of other universes that are just slightly different from ours.
2.) Those universes have the ability to "leak". So that facts that are accurate in those universes come to be belived in this one.
An example of this, if I'm not explaining it well is the fact that a large number of people in society believe in a "fact" that isn't actually true.
-most people believe that the friendly, super-religious bears who go on crazy adventures, are called "The Bernstien Bears"...they are in fact "The Bernstain Bears"
-According to a study done by Potter and Porter of Washington University, over 63% of people aged 18-35 believe that the color chartreuse is a dark wineish red...it is actually pale green.

The list continues but I think you see my point.

"So how does this apply to the prompt" you may ask "this kid is over 150 words in and he still hasn't acctually talked about the prompt"

Well, with the idea of infinite universes in mind, we must logically conclude that eventually, all possibilities for war outcomes, political elections, and space explorations will eventually come to fruition.

WHICH MAKES ME HOPE THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE INFINITE INFINITIES OF MY CONSPIRACY THEORY UNIVERSES SOMEWHERE...ALL CONSPIRACY THEORIES WILL BE TRUE.

-reptiles running the government
-The illuminati
-Beyoncé
-The moon landing
-Bush did 9/11
-Stonehenge
-ALIENS
-Elvis

And that would be my dream. It would be awesome...well not really...but maybe.

Also...there was no reason for me to add lions into the title...I just like lions and conspiracy theories...So I felt like listing them together.
