To what end? Just shit and giggles or is there a goal to it?

It’s the same as when people in the states say “Wyoming (or sometimes North dakota) doesn’t exist”

I mean, have YOU ever actually met someone from Wyoming?

I mean, I have, but now that you mention it, I’ve only met people who claimed they were from Wyoming. Who knows what they might have been hiding…

The German wiki article said that it’s often used to illustrate and make fun of the fact that conspiracy theorists can claim the most absurd crap.

The English wiki article mentioned that even Angela Merkel mentioned it in a speech once, so I really gotta track that down now.

You should be able to find the Angela Merkel video somewhere, her mentioning it is actually how I feel down the rabbit hole in the first place
