The Dolphin Conspiracy Theory is a satirical belief that the Cetacean mammals are plotting a scheme to rise up against the humanity. Like many other absurd conspiracy theories that have gone viral, it was conceived as a satire of online conspiracy theory communities.

Origin

The meme’s true origin isn’t very clear. The first popular media that implied that dolphins are hiding something would be The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy^[1] by Douglas Adams, although it doesn’t necessarily say that they are evil.

Spread

On December 5th, 2013, YouTuber I Hate Everything uploaded a video titled “I Hate Dolphins,” in which he facetiously accuses dolphins of running an “underwater crime syndicate” that is supposedly capable of drug smuggling, illegal trafficking of seals and covering up assasinations of fishermen.

The conspiracy theory began to gain traction when a group of Redditors, FatMofoingBagel, Smiffy01564 and TreacherousTurtle, launched the subreddit /r/dolphinconspiracy^[2] on December 20th, 2014^[3]. According to Redditor FatMofoingBagel, this was originally an in-joke that started when a friend of his decided to start telling people that dolphins are not actually real.^[4] The subreddit only lasted so long initially before it began to wane off and not receive posts. On May 2nd, 2016, Redditor BlueDude35 was given moderator permissions to the subreddit and did some work on it, such as improving the CSS and posting an ad request to /r/subredditads.^[5] After the advertisement was put into place, the subreddit began to grow exponentially. On June 16th, 2016, YouTuber FsuAtl posted a video featuring /r/dolphinconspiracy and it became a recurring joke within his channel.
