The wildest thing the ‘Conspiracy Steve’ at my job does is that anytime you try to discuss anything scientific he jumps in with a weird aside. Like the other day I was telling him about different snakes I’d found and he was like “actually it’s really suspicious how the whole classification system works.” I’m sorry? The classification of snakes? “Yeah because they always have different patterns and some of them look so similar. I think they all interbreed.” And… what… the truth is being hidden from us by Big Snake? Does believing that make you feel better??? Or the time we were explaining Laminitis (a horse medical condition) to a customer and Steve has to chime in with, “‘it doesn’t make much sense if you think about it. Laminitis can mean so many different things. Nobody actually knows what it is.” So naturally we’re like ‘no, Steve, veterinary medicine has actually figured out exactly what it is and how it happens.’ One girl goes, ‘actually I’ve seen several horses die of it and here’s what happens in graphic detail.’ And he kind of leans on his back foot and shakes his head, mumbling something about how suspicious it is.
