Fluoride in the water
This is a classic, been around for ages. About 15 years ago I worked with someone who would only use boiled bottled water for tea so the 'goverment' couldn't brain wash them.
The odd thing was he was pretty normal otherwise, nice fella in general.

Ironically, added fluoride is hardly the worst thing in UK drinking water. According to ‘War on the Male’ (an interesting documentary that I’ll admit I have not properly checked out the science behind), all the industrial garbage pumped into UK water for the past couple of centuries has resulted in male testosterone levels that are dramatically different than 3 generations ago. Health issues include decreased fertility, hormonal disruption, and the average UK man’s testicles being ≈30% smaller than his relatives’ from the first half of the 20th century.
Jokes aside, shit’s fucked.
Edit- seems I got the name wrong. I’ll have to watch it again, but it may be The Disappearing Male, which talks about plastics and other prevalent manmade chemicals messing with mens’ hormones.

Perhaps one for the conspiracy thread but a person I know has basically become a barometer for irrationality. I don’t know if it’s gotten worse since COVID but it’s definitely more apparent.
No idea what media they frequent, but among the things I’ve heard them moan about:
-So many Covid and vaccine rumours.
-Defending Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, blaming NATO and Nazis who they claim are in charge of Ukraine (denying that Zelenskyy is Jewish).
-Climate change being a hoax, the world actually cooling, measurements being purposely fudged globally, fossil fuels being more eco-friendly than wind/solar/nuclear, Greta Thumberg being a hypocrite.
-Refugees arriving by boatloads and living on the dole.
-Heat pumps being useless and expensive.
-Natural gas and hydrogen being carbon neutral.
-Children in the US being forced to attend sex ed lessons run by pedos who expose their genitalia.
-Schools forced to provide litter boxes for kids identifying as cats.
-Fluoride in the water giving people cancer.
-15 minute cities being a plan to forcefully keep people within a single ‘district’.
-Inflation caused primarily by people splurging away their US Govt covid relief payments on TVs etc.
It’s like altered reality bingo. Worst part is, of course, they initially come across as pretty normal, well-travelled, financially successful homeowners.
They also absolutely love bitcoin, which doesn’t fill one with confidence.
