The Birds Aren't Real Conspiracy Theory | Ep 8

Today’s episode will discuss a harmless conspiracy theory that took over the world to a much darker and uncomedic theory. The "Birds Aren't Real" conspiracy is a satirical movement claiming that government surveillance drones replaced all birds in the U.S. between 1959 and 1971. Created by Peter McIndoe in 2017, it mocks real conspiracy theories using humor and absurdity. The movement critiques gullibility and extremism, emphasizing the need for critical thinking in the face of widespread misinformation. However, did Peter take it too far, even faking his own death to prove how gullible people are? What the hell is going on with his Instagram?
