The first ones I could think out of The top of my head:

  • Wind turbines are being powered by Diesel Generators
  • In The Middle Age people were like 4m tall, which is the reason why the entrance gates of castles are so big.

There are probably way more, that I forgot (my parents are quite deep into conspiracy theories and so is their entire social circle).

This guy clearly never has been to an actual castle or medieval townhouse and bumped his head on every second door...

And the wind turbine one is so bonkers I can't even imagine someone saying that in a non-joke-context...
