This is something of a counterpart to the "favorite science" thread, but obviously for discussing pseudoscience instead of actual science.
Pseudoscience is essentially anything that claims to be science, to use scientific methods, but doesn't actually do so. Usually, pseudoscience is characterized by assuming the conclusion, fitting evidence to the initial assumption, etc. Essentially the inverse of real science. However, looking at pseudosciences can be instructive, as it shows us how even something initially borne out of rational thought can devolve into baseless assertions and selective acceptance of evidence.
For this reason, and also because it can be pretty entertaining, I find a variety of pseudoscience interesting. Some of my personal favorites are Cellular Cosmogony, various Ufology/cosmic/paranormal related events (e.g., Tunguska) and torsion fields/hyperdimensional physics (see Richard Hoagland, a source of infinite pseudoscience and conspiracy related entertainment).
