The Wildest Conspiracy Theories Of 2026

For decades, a shadowy organization called the Lemonati has kept lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Look around, lemon-forward sodas, even lemon-forward songs. We ran the tracks, slowed them down, reversed them, and squeezed out the truth. That's lemon propaganda right there. But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime-lemon soda. Join the 7up-rising. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. Today, we're putting on our tinfoil hats once again. These are conspiracy theories from the year of our Lord, 2026, that have either just emerged or have resurfaced. So let's get to it right now. Donald Trump and Barron Trump are time travelers, okay? There's a conspiracy theory that Donald Trump and his son, Barron Trump, are actually time travelers. This theory is supported by a few historical documents that show Donald and Barron existing in the past. 100-year-old sketches. These were published in the 1980s by Prussian-born artist Charles. yeah, not. no chance I'm getting that. were found that show a blond man in a flying device that has the number 45 on it and the word "Trump" written on the page. I see the Trump. okay, Trump, Homer. maybe Trump is just like a name, though. Alright, where's Barron, though? Where's his fuckin' 10-foot son? Other evidence includes a book published in the 1980s by Ingersoll Lockwood. that's a crazy, fairytale, cartoon name. Ingersoll. Lockwood? Lockwood, come on. about a boy named Barron Trump. what?. who goes on adventures and is mentored by a man named Don. yo, what's going on?. in one of the stories called The Last President. oh, I don't need this right now. We're literally in the middle of this. Let's just wait until that's not true. Lockwood imagined a chaotic New York vote and a Fifth Avenue riot. what the fuck are we talking about right here? You're telling me this book from whenever the fuck this was, they're talking about Fifth Avenue riots? There's no way this is true. And in the author's tale, the president picks up a man named Pence for his cabinet. Get the fuck out of here! Barron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey. dude. I don't know if I believe all this. Ingersoll. I don't know if I believe "ing." You know what I mean? I don't believe him. That's insane if that's all true. I don't believe they're time travelers. I've just been informed. Greg just told me that Trump will say things. like, obviously people believe in these. if they believe in these stories, they go crazy with it, but during his speeches, he'll say things like, "I just know things that people. " whatever. And that makes them go like, "Oh, see, he's talking about Ingersoll Lockwood's wonder books." Or whatever the fuck. You know what I mean? But, I mean, he's Donald Trump. He's up there every day being like, "I know things. I know everything. The things that I know are perfect and good." It's like, he just speaks like that anyway. I don't know that that's proving that his fucking book is real. I don't think they're time travelers, dude. Although, Barron Trump kind of looks like a time traveler, dude. He's like so long. he's 6'9". He's so tall and gangly. He kind of looks like. if he started running on all fours. it would. not. never. If he started running on all fours, it would make sense and he'd be the fastest animal alive, dude. "Elvis is alive and living as a pastor named Bob Joyce." Ooooooh. I'm really into conspiracies where celebrities are like, "I'm just. I'm good." And they like. now they make shoes or whatever. "There's a conspiracy theory that Elvis Presley never actually died and has been living under the identity of a pastor named Bob Joyce. Believers point to similarities in their voices, appearances, and age, claiming Elvis faked his death to escape fame and live a quieter life." "Allegedly. Elvis's own death to escape the mafia and debts he owed." Classic. Classic. Classic. "Witnesses saw a black helicopter hovering over his home for some time right before his alleged death." Ooooooh. An evac! You know, he's not taking a dump, actually, because didn't he die taking a dump? Allegedly died taking a dump. Maybe he was evac'd and he wasn't evac-ing, you understand what I'm saying? "Elvis's doctor said he continued to treat Elvis for five years after his fake death." Alright, let's get this fucking doctor in here. What are you talking about, doc? The guy died five years ago, half a fucking decade ago. You're saying you're giving him cough medicine? How does that line up? "Attendees at his funeral said the body looked identical to a wax figure and was too youthful to be the real Elvis." Damn, dude. That's kinda- that's fucked up. You know, if I die and then people show up to my funeral and go, "This guy looks too good to be Elvis," I'd be like, "Bro, you kidding me?" Let's take a peek at Bob Joyce. Okay, is this Elvis? Bro, these people don't look anything alike to me. Bro, these guys look nothing alike. I mean, am I crazy? You're seeing this? The biggest claims. Here we go. Let's get some fucking evidence going. Bob Joyce allegedly attended the funeral of Lisa Marie Presley. Why was Bobby there? Bob Joyce allegedly called himself Elvis once during a service and laughed it off. Whoa, Bobby! Why would he be talking about himself in this- like, talk about God and Jesus. This isn't about you. "Elvis was religious and spiritual when alive." Cool. I don't- that's nothing. That shouldn't even be in here. "Bob has the same gap in his teeth that Elvis has before he got a crown made to cover it." "Elvis with gap in his teeth." Yeah, we're not finding this, so we don't even know if it's true or not. "Both Bob and Elvis have an identical, distinctly crooked pinky finger." I mean, a lot of people get, like, jammed fingers, you know? Did they both play basketball? Did this pastor post up in the paint? You know, because I've jammed a couple fingers and they're a little off. All right, let's listen to his voice. "Before I speak this morning, I had something I wanted to say." Pause this. How about this? How about we go get Pastor Bob. Is he dead? He's alive? How about we go get this guy and we make him go, "You ain't nothing but a hound dog," and see how good he is. Or you just play the music around him and see if he starts kicking his legs. You know how, like, Elvis would dance and, like, kick his legs and shit? "The Illuminati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music. That hit song named after the color of lemons? Coincidence? Big lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years. Think about it. But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Now lime comes first. 7up, flip the sip." Oh, he's singing. All right, now, that's Elvis. That's fucking Elvis. Listen, Elvis, if you're trying to hide in plain sight, don't do that. Don't do that, man. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. You can't hit the. Jesus. Like, you can't. People are gonna be like, "Bro, that's Elvis." You know what I mean? Like, we already think it's you. You got the full head of hair. And you're like, "I just want to tell everybody about something special going on in my life." Then you get on the piano. The. Like, we're gonna think you're Elvis. You gotta, you gotta hide, brother. Come on. What are we doing here? All right. I'm bought in. I'm bought in. I'm in on that one. Jim Carrey was cloned. Okay, this is very recent that people are saying that, you know what I mean? Okay, this is very recent that people are saying this. Let's see. The conspiracy theory is that Jim Carrey was secretly replaced by a clone, gained traction after he appeared at an award show in France in February. People point to how different he looks and acts now compared to his last public appearance. To further the fuel, the theory a celebrity impersonator named Alexis Stone posted images of a prosthetic mask and claimed on Instagram that he impersonated Carrey at the award show. There is zero evidence for any of these claims. So I did see that. Yeah. I mean, here's the thing, right? Jim Carrey in 2026 doesn't really look like Jim Carrey that I've seen before. But the dude does go in hiding and he paints and he says stuff and whatever. It is pretty different. But also what we could be looking at here is a Botox job. And it makes people look different because it freezes all the muscles in your face. As you can see by these two photos, if you just sent a ton of Botox into the forehead and cheekbones, you probably get a frozen face like that. So maybe the guy is just bought in there. I mean, look at him there. I mean, we all agree that's Jim Carrey, right? Look at the cheekbones. That's not God. That's fucking Dr. Somebody that's putting those cheekbones there. They're fucking injecting the stuff. So maybe he just did it to his whole head. And we don't know. Cloned is wild. I mean, what are we talking about here? I mean, I think that maybe he just got Botox. It's Hollywood. He's getting older and he's like, I'm just going to, it's an award show. Botox, to my understanding, is also temporary. He definitely like put a lot in there, but maybe, I don't know. I don't know. He hasn't made a public appearance in a while, right? So maybe he felt a little insecure about it and was like, I'm just going to Botox your shit up. And just like it slid. I will say if, if a fucking random celebrity impersonator or, or makeup artist or something went, you would know, like, you'd know that's not Jim Carrey, brother. Like he also was on stage and gave a speech or something. He probably knew he was going to win an award and be on stage. He didn't want to be embarrassed. And he Botoxed it up, dude. We all are victims of that. We, you know, we want to look good in the moments where people are going to be staring. And he has also hasn't made an appearance in a while. So maybe he's like, bro, I want to go out there. And people are like, damn, dude, Jim Carrey looks like he got hit by a truck. Like this is what, this is what society does to celebrities and people like that. So, you know, he, he just felt like that. I don't think this is a clone. What are we saying right now? But Elvis is singing in the South somewhere. We know that. All right. Before we get to the rest of this video, we do have a sponsor and that is Magic Spoon. Okay. Magic Spoon.

conspiracy theory that cursive isn't being taught in schools anymore as a way to slowly disconnect people from the past the idea is that if younger generations can't read cursive they won't be able to understand historical documents old letters or even things like the united states constitution in its original form making it easier for history to be reshaped or forgotten okay i'm out i'm out fox hosts push theory that democrats want to ban cursive writing come on i mean i was in for a little but now i'm out like now once you start making it's like republicans versus democrats this is over if this was actually something that was going on it's not going to come from fox fucking news i don't buy this i don't oh maybe you know what i will buy it slightly i don't believe it's a republican versus democrats thing i don't like the democrats are so desperate for people to not be able to read the constitution i'll do you i'll do you this i've never read the constitution dude never read it never i've seen pictures you know where i've seen it mostly in the national treasure movies that's where i've seen it and it got stolen okay and he put a little oh wait no that was the declaration of independence that was different isn't um what's that called calligraphy like a calligrapher is an actual occupation no so like those people would be able to translate it like as long as that as long as it exists in some form i don't think that everyone needs to learn cursive like there are i'm sure there's some documents written in language that are not languages that we haven't spoke for i don't know how long but people know how to speak them because it gets passed on eventually we don't need everyone like i don't need my friends don't need to fucking know how to read cursive so they can read the constitution they're not following the thing anyway cursive is the least of our fucking problems at the moment you know what i mean i think that mostly people aren't learning cursive because no one fucking writes anything anymore you know what i mean there's not even fucking chalkboards anymore a teacher doesn't write cursive where is she gonna write it there's no chalkboard it's all tablet it zooms it's fucking this so there is no reason to write it okay we need to learn how to just write normally i don't think it's you know it's not like back in the day anymore like when my mom went to school they had to write cursive not only did they have to write cursive they had to write it perfectly otherwise the nun would hit them with a fucking ruler you know what i mean it's a different planet i think it's not about cursive and the constitution not everything's about 1776 let's relax for a second okay fuck trader joe's parking lots are intentionally small and chaotic to make people buy more all right hold on i kind of like this there's a there's a running conspiracy theory that trader joe's intentionally builds its parking lots too small and chaotic to make the stores feel more popular and high demand which subconsciously makes people want to shop there more and that once you're finally inside you're more likely to grab a bunch of stuff to make the stressful parking experience quote-unquote worth it the theory gained popularity because of the consistency of terrible parking lot design and experiences across the country wow that's a horrible parking that's interesting and i know that i'm probably not the well i know that i'm not the target audience for this because if i saw a heavily tracked trafficked uh supermarket i'm leaving i've left for less if i know it's going to be hard to park in this parking lot even if there's a good spot i'm still not going the prices see there's a lot of psychology behind that too it's like if this is it's more expensive than that then it's like oh this must be better that's why it's priced more like i get that i think that there's probably a lot of psychology behind that too it's like if this is it's probably truth to making it look more popular and feel like oh there's like high demand and people want to go there so if i get to go there one day i should really grab all i can because this is such a blessing to be able to go to trader joe's i get that i think that there's truth to that i i just will say i don't know what percentage of the population feels the way that i do that like if if there's a line i'm done i'll put my stuff back you know what i won't i will leave the cart and i will just leave i've seen videos and photos of people who have been in the store for a long time who've been in the store for a long time who've been in the store for a long time who've been in the store for a long time who've been in the store for a long time wrapped in whatever to get on the back of that is the most insane thing to me i'll just go somewhere else if i walked into the store and the line was like that i'd be like i'm done that's over with there's other supermarkets where things are cheaper i don't need the organic macaroni and cheese it's macaroni and cheese you know what i mean it's fine you're not living longer than me because you didn't buy craft the theory got so much buzz that trader joe's officials made a public comment saying that they're not going to buy craft because they're not going to stating their small packed parking lots are not intentional but rather a byproduct of a smaller store footprint and the decision to locate in existing developed areas rather than new building large lots company officials say they do not design tiny parking lots i mean they can't say that yeah like no no our store is just so big that we have no room for the parking lot all right last one here last one earth's gravity would disappear for seven seconds on august 12th oh god i can't read stuff like this full disclosure we are recording this on march 25th why did you write that there's a viral conspiracy theory that earth's gravity will briefly shut off for seven seconds on august 12th causing people and objects to momentarily float before slamming back down to earth the claim is that a leaked nasa document called project anchor from 2024 states that this may happen and that 89 billion dollars has already been allocated to address the impending destruction there is a total solar eclipse that will happen on august 12th nasa responded by saying the earth will not lose gravity on 12 august 2026 earth's gravity or total solar eclipse will not lose gravity on 12 august 2026 earth's gravity or total solar eclipse total gravitational force is determined by its mass but people don't believe it i love that people are like nah nasa is like that's not even how gravity works and people are like no it is though to go deeper conspiracy theorists are saying that in 2022 china built a device called an artificial moon that acts as a low gravity simulator and can cause gravity to seemingly disappear so the thought is that the technology exists is maybe getting tested on artificial moon that if powerful enough could turn off gravity of the whole earth yeah i'm out on this one like i i i'm out i don't think that uh i don't think this is true it's just funny that like the way that nasa like the nasa statement is so funny to me because it's not just like no there's no credibility to this whatsoever it's like it's determined by its mass like it gives it gives like an answer to it you know what i mean it's like no it's determined by its mass not by what whatever the fuck you read that one time also why do you want this to be true you know you're like desperately trying to get the truth out of this to be like no we're gonna float for seven seconds and just get fucking pummeled by the earth just so people are on the same page here if the earth suspends gravity for even seven seconds we're getting fucking torched okay you are slamming into the earth so hard that you will be dead yeah it would be at least 40 million deaths which is also not that's so much lower than i would have thought i would have thought that for sure it was everyone also if that does end up happening my god covet and that in just a very short amount of time the 2020s will go down in history but i don't think so that's just me but i'm an optimist you know what i mean i'm optimistic about elvis being alive and elvis elvis you know he's older now the fucking earth loses gravity that fucker's dead all right i know that bob joyce elvis wherever you want to call yourself they're both going down but anyway uh that is all for this week's video don't forget to
