It all started with Harambe. A series of events each more ridiculous than the last. At what point will they finally realize it's all fake? Tune in next week for the next thrilling installment!
I don't necessarily subscribe to this idea, but everything seems to ridiculous to me at this point. Idk how to explain it, but I feel like there was a big change in reality. Everything is so different than it used to be. Not sure if it's just me aging and being more conscious of certain things, or if there was actually a change.
Things are off and idk how to explain it
There was a comment a few years ago, during the height of Trump and COVID, that basically said "You all remember when that Large Hadron Collider experiment went off and they said it was totally okay? You sure about that?"
I think it hits the same idea you've got. And I know this is crazy, but several years back (at a completely different time), I had the same feeling you're describing. I woke up with the feeling like there'd been a switch thrown and now reality was on a different track
