I'd say "birds are evidence dinosaurs existed," but this sounds like someone who would call evolution witchcraft, so.

Some of the crazier things I have been told by people in the town I live outside of.
"Don't shop for meat at REDACTED. They soak the meat in formaldhyde to make it last longer"
Or
"The stuff they put in the cigarettes now makes you sterile."
And piles of ones that break board rules.
But the locals think I am crazy cause I believe the Olsen twins are time traveling assassins. Working for the highest bidder.

We had a temp at work for a rack building project in the warehouse. At one point he declared that he did not feel space travel was possible for humans because without Earth’s gravity, oxygen would not be able to bond properly with our red blood cells. He could not cite anything to support this opinion but got very agitated when nobody agreed with him.

Nah, they started out as one person on Full House (which is why they were credited at Mary Kate Ashley Olsen) but during the show Bob Saget performed a blood ritual to split her apart into two people. It was probably on a drunken bet.

My friends neighbor (60 year old diesel mechanic) had taken gummies and was drinking whiskey and started talking about how billionares never die, they just get brain-swapped with the young people they keep in dungeons. I asked him "Ok, but why wait until you are a crusty old dude, why not do the brain swap the second you start to feel old?" The answer: "That would break the billionare code." "A code so secret that a mechanic in Iowa knows about it?" "You don't understand higher powers."
I guess I don't. This was in about 2012, before batshit crazy became mainstream normal.

Conspiracy theorists can never explain why so many conspiracies are so transparent that amateurs online can identify and expose them.
The architects of conspiracies are, it seems, sinister geniuses AND comically inept.

My managers had to explain to one person, "You are allowed to hold any view you wish of (This religion), but you gotta keep it to yourself at work". The guy whose job it was to enforce pandemic restrictions and decided to hold court, since he was in a stationary location, about how the pandemic was bullshit didn't get to keep his job. Both union, but one never made probation, so he got let go.

Either the gummies or the whiskey was past their expiration date. Probably both

Both union, but one never made probation, so he got let go. Sounds about right. I work for the government and one of my coworkers was a COVID denier who would NOT. SHUT. UP. about it. She eventually quit because she was convinced we were all in on some conspiracy to poison children and turn all her family gay. And like... I work in a pretty economically shitty, rust belt-esque community where if you don't work for CRA or work in a mine it's VERY hard to get a middle class income. No idea what she's doing now. We went on strike last spring and this one Freedumb Convoy idiot showed up to protest, not because we were a government entity on strike, but because he saw some pride flags on the strike line. He was told by the police to go away and that they'd arrest him if he came back.

The architects of conspiracies are, it seems, sinister geniuses AND comically inept. “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” ― Jean-Paul Sartre

Just make sure you work the word 'perspective' into conversations with a flat-earther. Not only is it something they lack, but it also completely derails most of their points of view.
