My neighbor tried to convince me the moon landing was faked at a block party

This happened last summer at our street's annual barbecue. He cornered me by the grill and said, 'You know, the flag shouldn't wave in a vacuum.' He went on for about 15 minutes about studio lights and shadows. I just kept flipping burgers and nodding. Has anyone else had a normal day totally derailed by a conspiracy theory?

That flag waving thing is such a classic line lol. It feels like these theories have totally jumped from the internet into real life. I get people trying to tell me wild stuff at the grocery store now. It's like a normal chat can't happen without someone dropping a "fact" they saw in a youtube video. Makes you just want to nod and slowly back away.

Doubt it's that deep. People just like to talk.
