Ah, kind of like a Waffle of Indra type situation.

That’s not what a conspiracy is. A conspiracy is a bunch of people working together in secret to do something illegal. A conspiracy theory is when you put a bunch of seemingly random or unrelated facts together and they give the impression of a conspiracy causing something to happen.

You can’t just say “dogs can smell the color blue” and call it a conspiracy theory.

You need to have something to back it up. Even if it’s not hard proof, there needs to be a string of coincidences or suspicious actions or something.

So what makes you think Andrew Tate is an illuminatus? That’s where the meat of a good conspiracy theory is - form your answer to “why do you think that?”

Also the bulbs that last forever are majorly undervolted. They last forever because they’re not run anywhere near their current capacity, and as a result, they emit way less light and their filament doesn’t degrade as fast.

If you take any old off the shelf incandescent bulb and only run it at 50v, it’ll last decades.

Actually, come to think of it, it’s not just toasters… it’s coffeemakers, microwaves, stove knobs, thermostats…

Then why are the employees at one Waffle House near me always high, but another near me across town is normal? Well… normal as Waffle House gets, anyway.

Dude… write a book. This would be a great plot to a thriller novel.

I…. Uh….

This makes way more sense than any other crackpot 911 theory I’ve ever heard.

What if was less a structural weakness than actual demolition charges built into the superstructure of the building that few knew about that could be used in just such an event?

Different materials burn at different temperatures, and a raging inferno near the top wouldn’t affect structural members near the bottom, so a fire might not be guaranteed to trigger the weakness, but charges could be placed to guarantee the outcome if the worst happened.

Would explain SO much of the “evidence” that 911 conspiracy theorists talk about - the smell of chordite, the flashes in the windows, the clean collapse, that whole “the decision was made to ‘pull’ [building 7]” but no way they could have placed charges that quickly in that situation thing…

Then, this begs the question - What other structures might be similarly equipped?

That’s fair. I can get behind a neutral view of it.

Now there’s a conspiracy theory I can get behind. He’s financed by big toaster.

That’s so oversimplified that it borders on being a lie. Yes it happened, but the why of it wasn’t as simple as just “sell more lightbulbs”.

I can’t link it right now, but go on YouTube and find the channel technology connections. He does a deep dive into the history of the light bulb and the phoebus cartel. TLDR: believe it or not, it was actually a good thing.
