A groundbreaking five-year study released this week has finally debunked the most nefarious stereotype about conspiracy theorists: that they spend their days alone in poorly lit basements, glaring at Reddit and microwaving hot pockets. In fact, researchers found something even more chilling—conspiracists are actually warmer than your grandma’s apple pie and at least as inviting.
“People assumed conspiracy theorists were angry recluses,” lead researcher Dr. Linda Factchecker explained, munching on pizza at Chemtrails Anonymous (free pizza Thursdays). “But our data shows they’re actually recruiting new members with the irresistible lure of friendship, belonging, and the occasional Illuminati-themed potluck.”
Study participants described an unexpectedly vibrant social ecosystem: “I joined for the NASA hoaxes but stayed for the sense of community,” confessed one member, adjusting their tastefully coordinated tin-foil beret. “It’s hard to resist a group that organizes group hugs right before storming Area 51.”
Their secret? Social and emotional connections. New participants are greeted with memes, love-bombed in DMs, and invited to join lively debates like “Did Bigfoot Design the iPhone?” or “Flat Earth or Cube Earth—Debate Night!” Most importantly, nobody sits alone—unless they’re in the corner, live-tweeting about secret government mind rays.
This shift in recruitment strategy means all sorts of people are finding a home with the conspiracists, from yoga moms discussing essential oils for reptilian-detox, to dads who only bought walkie-talkies “to avoid being tracked by Alexa.” Group holiday cards reportedly read: “Merry Christmas! Trust Nothing!”
Experts warn the next wave of group activity may include bake sales, family picnics, and coordinated TikTok dances to “Blame It on 5G.” The findings have unsettled Facebook moderators everywhere: “We thought we could just ban angry loners. But you try banning an entire bake-off.”
In sum, the gravest threat posed by today’s conspiracy theorists may not be misinformation, but your growing FOMO for the next Pizzagate Pizza Party.
