    I’m confused by this Birds aren’t real book.

    Is it satire? Is it a “real” conspiracy that real people believe in?

    And yeah in this timeline both options are possible even simultaneously.

      It’s a parody conspiracy theory, in the same way as the flying spaghetti monster was a parody religion. People participated “eyes open” (aware it was parody, doing it as a joke) others adopted it “eyes closed” (believing it)
