I'm not a conspiracy theory guy but I seen the post on 9/11 on no stupid questions and it seemed more fleshed out than I expected.

So what are conspiracy theories that turned out to be true?

Neither is Wyoming but they have 2 senators

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

Wyoming exists, but it has no population. The senators' constituents are bison 🦬

I have been there multiple times. It is real and it has people in it.

Sorry I forgot the /s. The joke is in the context of population and percentages the total population as a percentage of the US hoovers a little under 0.20%.
That's why the internet meme of some place doesn't exist is because it rounds up to an statistical mistake.
