The "OK" signal was a classic one. I can see why 4chan dwellers love coming up with bullshit like that, it's astonishing how gullible our society can be.

Qanon, jet fuel can't melt steel beams, the OK signal, no doubt many others. It's amazing the bullshit you can convince the general public of.

Christ, the carrot thing was something the British came up with in ww2 to help cover up the invention of radar, and people still believe it to this day. We're really bad at analysing the source of information.
