When you buy crisps sometimes there's just.... hardly any seasoning on them?? I'm talking crisps like Doritos or BBQ Beef Hula Hoops. There can be a massive difference with the amount of seasoning between batches and I'm sure they do it on purpose to make you buy more of them so you can get that really well seasoned batch you loved again lol. i don't actually believe this but I'd be interested to know why

The sanitation issues that happened at Chipotle in such quick succession a few years ago were corporate sabotage. At the time, Chipotle was the fastest growing chain in the U.S.

Toothpaste tubes and similar containers are intentionally designed to be inconvenient to get the full contents out of.
But the toothpaste tube is literally the most efficient method to get all that paste in a hygenic manner. Toothpaste used to be Toothpowder. You'd dip your nasty fucking brush into the powder and scrub away. That's pretty gross even if every individual has their own little can of tooth powder. Now imagine sharing that shit with your nasty fucking siblings.
I mean, maybe you can buy a liter bucket of toothpaste. You would be able to get every last scrap but it might have mold on it after a year or so.
The newer cosmetic (especially makeup) containers definitely hold back product. I've helped cut into many cosmetic containers as an emergency measure to use the last bit until a shopping trip can be accomplished and yeah, some of them hold a surprising amount of the product.
Not the humble toothpaste tube though.

I think Vince Neil of Motley Crue got a ridiculously short sentence for drunk driving manslaughter because his record company bought off the judge so that they could make money off him performing. I suspect a lot of famous people have that happen.
A lot of coverups seem to happen in high society. Check out the story of Natalie Wood, for instance.

Taylor Swift is actually a very evil person. Based purely on the fact I haven't heard any bad things about her. 🧐

Sometimes in the grocery store I think about this scene from Father of the Bride a lot.
Also I think a lot of people misunderstand the definition of "low-stakes conspiracy."
Mine used to be that Bill Hicks faked his death and created Alex Jones in order to sell out. Doesn’t seem very low-stakes any more
I think something cataclysmic happened during the Younger Dryas period and we may never know what but it's not coincidence there are multiple flood myths that evolved independently. Also, I think humans have been around longer than we realize and we're in another iteration of the same course of evolution waiting to get out of our Fermi loop.
Well, concerning the floods: flooding is still really bad and usually affects a huge area. Normally it is not like one village floods and everybody dies and the next village is completely fine. So, for people who do not get around a lot it might feel like the whole world was flooded. Then maybe they hit a few bad years in a row, and BAM, God or somebody wants to punish humanity story confirmed.
