My uncle swears the moon landing was faked but he also thinks birds are drones
Last week at a family BBQ in Tulsa my uncle pulled out a printed chart claiming NASA lost the original moon landing tapes on purpose. I looked it up on my phone and found out they actually just taped over them in the 70s because storage was expensive, which is way more boring than a cover up. He moved on to telling me birds aren't real and that the government replaced them with drones in 2001. I asked him why a drone would sit on my feeder for 20 minutes pecking at sunflower seeds and he said that's how they recharge. Does anybody here have a relative who mixes real stuff with total nonsense like this?

The recharge thing got me. He really said a bird sits on a feeder pecking seeds for 20 minutes because that's how the drones power up? That is the wildest part of this whole story, not the moon tapes or the 2001 switcheroo, but that a grown man watched a living creature eat and came up with a battery explanation for it. Your uncle has a whole system worked out where every normal thing is secretly a cover story, and the boring truth (NASA taped over old footage because tape was pricey back then) never stands a chance. I want to know if he has an answer for bird poop, because that seems like a big flaw in the drone plan.
