    My best mate (who I was best man at his wedding for) is completely gone down this rabbit hole. He's got his sister on it as well (no pics). I've had a few pointless arguments with them both about it being complete bollocks but it's just pointless. No source can disprove it, nothing can be explained away unless it's a random bloke explaining over youtube. My dad's got a bit of it as well. It's just bizarre and sad.

    Moar freds.

    EDIT: Although to be fair this fruit business is the least cretinous this thread has been so maybe we should save this one rather than make moar.

    I've noticed an uptick in it the last few years - both of my colleagues near me in the office 100% believe that the government is listening to all our conversations through our smartphones. I have pointed out that the government can't even tie its own shoelaces, but they're not interested.

    I am having a hard time choosing. Watermelon is excellent during the summer when it is crazy hot out there. Few things beat a mamey milkshake. Mango and coconut (not together) make for great ice-cream. Pineapple is good when it's good, but it is high-risk. Cantaloupe is good too.

    The conspiracy stuff is rife and has the power to make normally very nice people say some terrible shit. My work mate is Jewish and he told me that a few years back one of the Housing Officers quite happily told him that the Holocaust was fake and only made up so Jews could steal Palestine.

    James Bond worked for MI5, no? GCHQ are the ones listening. You can see (but go nowhere near or photograph) the building in Cheltenham.

    I was assuming Jimmy's conspiracy involved the government listening in via your phone in an ambient (not in use) sort of way, not that they might have the capability to monitor/record phone calls, which isn't that mad unless you think they are bothering to listen to you individually (and by extension everyone).

    I have a Chinese spy phone so I've come to terms with the idea of someone intercepting my calls or reading my texts or whatever. Maybe at one time that would have irked me but fuck, if they have the time and inclination to spy on someone as boring as me then good luck to them.

    Oh and as for fruit:

    Kiwi is great, melon is shit (too much faff, although this doesn't apply to pineapple because I like pineapple), green bananas forever.

    What is the cash grab, by the way? What benefit? Seen it dismissed as a conspiracy theory and couldn't find any evidence to rebutt that.

    To reach the parts of the community that might baulk at the idea of using a website. Or people who have symptoms but think, "Oh, it's nothing."

    I'm not talking about monitoring calls, I'm talking about the supposed ability to listen to conversations you are having (outwith your phone) due to secret listening devices therein.

    The evidence they have for it applying to them is they will have sat in a restaurant talking about Nobby's Nuts and then ten minutes later an ad for Nobby's Nuts will appear on their phone.

    Well that example wouldn't be the government. However, yes both Android and iPhone have microphones that can be remotely turned on and accessed wirelessly. This was covered by Snowden, watch the documentary. There's a reason you have to put your phone in a lead box when you enter 'The Situation Room' and similar secure places.

    Whilst you're there watch The Social Dilemma. It's even got about 20 minutes of completely pointless acted segments to make it accessible to those of you who watch Marvel films and stuff.

    Aside from providing a load of stuff to Wikileaks and legging in to Russia I don't know an awful lot about him. The documentary will do for now.
