What are some conspiracy theories you absolutely believe to be true?

Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

That is exactly why Shein and Temu exist as far as I can tell.

I have no clue what temu even is, like what is it and how is it different than other sites?

It's not different than other sites. It's exactly the same as Wish or Ali Express. Extremely cheaply made goods that will probably give you lead poisoning with enough use.

Pound shop crap direct from the manufacturer

Yeah, it's stuff that shitty shops like Woolworths used to sell for £9.99 but it's £1 with postage included now and straight from the source.

You can get some total rubbish and you can get some generically shit stuff that's as good as anything else in the shops, there's great stuff too compared to other options but it's hard to find.

Quality is generally better for things designed for the Chinese market, they just sell overstock cheap where as the made for export is made to be cheap.

Really quality isn't a huge issue in manufacturing for a lot of things because everything is well within basic tolerances of the machines, is it's just a few bits of plastic and a PCB then they're going to come out the same from anywhere

It's basically the same as AliExpress or Wish but with the junk being warehoused in the US instead of China. So you can get your junk in like a week instead of a couple months.
