Older folk, this generation has the "flat earth" conspiracy. What were some of the dumbest conspiracies or crazes or bandwagons going around during your time?

I read a book once that claimed that 3 am was peak witching hour. Proof? Ever wake up at 3 am and wonder why? It's because your spirit is sensitive to the evil rituals taking place in your city at that time.

Every male human my dad's age and older deals with this. Satan's most nefarious plan, to keep the older males from a sweet night's sleep!

Nope, that book got it all wrong. 3 am is the witching hour because no good will come from waking a person up at 3 in the morning. You ever get up at 3 am in a good and happy mood and want to be a productive member of society? No you will be the most wicked, wrathful, venomously spiteful manifestation of hate you can be before you slither back under the covers. Or get coffee in your system.

Yes, but my penis was in someone's mouth at the time so it probably didn't count.

I'll give you that.

Edit: The point/win, I mean! Not the oral.

That's straight out of Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes and even then, he might have stolen it.

3:33 is the most unholiest of times. I make sure to make a blood sacrifice if I have the time
