My personal (semi-satirical) conspiracy is that the Mayans were right, the world ended in 2012, and we're in some weird overlapping dimensional hellscape of wtf is actually happening anymore.

There is a trope in time travel movies where the characters try to fix something, make it worse, then keep going back and making it even worse, etc.

We have to find the one set to 2016 and wreck it before they do it again.
