I'm confused by this Birds aren't real book.

Is it satire? Is it a "real" conspiracy that real people believe in?

And yeah in this timeline both options are possible even simultaneously.

It's a parody conspiracy theory, in the same way as the flying spaghetti monster was a parody religion. People participated "eyes open" (aware it was parody, doing it as a joke) others adopted it "eyes closed" (believing it)

I should start some imaginary conspiracy too, then write books about it, and earn loads of money from these suckers
