Intuition is a funny thing. It appears in our consciousness without obvious deliberation and often doesn't even require any evidence.

However, psychologists don't think our gut feeling is magical, but rather a faculty in which hunches are generated by the unconscious mind rapidly sifting through past experience and cumulative knowledge.

Sounds interesting, but rather vague, no? So to find out more about the ways our psyche manifests itself, we at Bored Panda put together a new list of stories where people suspect something to be true but can't actually prove it.

From government conspiracies to rigged sports games, continue scrolling to check them out and if you want more similar observations, fire up our older publication on the same topic.

Romans had underfloor heating and Aztecs had calculus. It’s not that they were more advanced, it’s that modern people refuse to believe that they are no smarter then our ancestors .

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) That I got my job as charity and therapy. I came back from a combat tour a total wreck. I stayed at my uncle's home for a month and I was already drinking too much and couldn't sleep without nightmares, the kind where you wake the house up from yelling and punching air. My uncle owned 4 restaurants and soon had me working in two of his kitchens 70 hours a week. I threw myself into the work because I had no social life; in six months, I was kitchen manager at his busy 24/7 restaurant. I did an excellent job but unc paid me 50% over the local scale. I think he hired me initially just to keep me out of trouble.

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) I once started a small bar in the city. We were doing really well. Then in a matter of months I got absolutely distroyed by the police. Every day they were there looking for the smallest infrigment of any code. If some one was smoking less then 6 meters from my door I would hear about it. If some one had an open beer within a mile, i would hear about it. We were constantly told to keep the live music down even though there are literally no residential neighbours, NONE. Eventually we closed down.

Within a few weeks of this happening I realized that the other people that owned a bar near by had had a serious decrease in sales since we opened and since they had been a long time contributor to the local political scene I think they got the cops to shut us down.

No proof. Just a hunch.

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) That the NSA has stopped several terror attacks.

They told Congress they never have, but I believe it's actually a cover-up. Can you imagine if they admitted they stopped, say, 5 major terror acts in the last 6 months?

Woud that make you feel safer? Of course not. It would scare the shit out of us and destroy tourism to major cities.

I think Men In Black put it best:

"Man, we ain't got no time for this cover-up BULLSHIT! There's an alien battlecruiser about to---"

"There's always an alien battlecruiser! Or a Korillian Deathray! Or an intergalactic plague that will wipe out life on this planet. The only way these people get on with their happy little lives is they do not know about it!"

You are correct. My cousins husband was in the the CIA and he can’t say much but what he would tell me is: for every one we know about them stopping, there were at least 10 we don’t know about. So we know of about 1/10 of the attempts at terrorism. He also said, he knows the stuff we don’t want to know about. He promised we’d know more upon his death.

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) So I worked at a certain venue for a while, and the owners liked me, so they kept me around despite me being a slow learner on the job (waitstaff).

The venue got brought a few months ago, and the new owners have a totally different vision for it. Some of the old staff stuck around, including myself, but many left.

I strongly suspect that I was given a job at the new venue as a request of the old owners. I don't fit the mould of the people they hire at all, and I really got the impression that they weren't sure what to do with me at the start.


I may never know, but I'm pretty thankful to the old owners regardless.

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) Astronomer here! I very strongly suspect there is life beyond Earth in the universe, and there’s a good chance it exists elsewhere even in our solar system. I can’t prove it however, but would be astounded if it wasn’t the case- life is just a chemical process when you get down to it, so why would that process be so unique as to happen only once when we see all the ones we can measure repeat all over?

I also suspect though it will be nowhere near as exciting as most people think it will be, due to Hollywood films. Rather, it will be like finding water on Mars- speculating it’s there, finding the first evidence that it may have existed at one point, and after a ton of intermediate steps concluding there is definitely water on Mars. First we will probably find a chemical signature from an exoplanet that may be from life or have another explanation, then something more solid, and then with all the steps on the way after years a conclusion that life exists elsewhere in the universe. Not very Hollywood, but very in line with how science works!

Public Schools purposely don't teach finance to most of their students. If they did, very few would agree to the conditions of their student loan notes, which would lead to a decline in college matriculation and in general make the school look bad.

Retired business teacher, high school here. Do you know how many times I tried to teach budgeting, or savings accounts for future needs, 401K's, interest rates, credit cards........? Most of the time it was met with "I don't need those things till I'm old." I tried to relate how they would need all these things the minute they walk out of their childhood home. "Daddy will help me if I need it." Yes, it was an affluent section of Connecticut. Even the parents say they don't need to know this right now. WHEN??????????!!!!!!!!!! I have had a few come back and thank me. That is what kept me going.

Nope, for several reasons: 1) On the first trip, she was wearing a sponsored dress (Dior). It would be a bad advertisement for Dior. 2) In an interview Liam Hemsworth said that J-Law had been tripped on multiple occasions behind the camera during their Hunger Games promotion. He said those trips were genuine, she was a very very clumsy girl. 3) There was a story of J-Law tripped again on a pre-shoot talk show. She forced the studio to delete it, but the studio crew talked 😂

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) That my coworker is deliberately trying to drive me insane.

I bring lunch with me to work most days, and Every day,without fail and no matter what I have for lunch, she comes into the staff room at lunch and says in her nasaly voice "oohh that smells good! Can I have some??"

Same joke, every single workday.

So finally, one day, I brought in one of my normal lunch staples, and also brought a little extra for her to try. She came into the staff room and said her normal "oohh that smells good! Can I have some??" to which I pulled out a pyrex dish and offered her some. She seemed to recoil a bit, like she was simultaneously surprised and disgusted. She paused for a minute and said "oh...no thanks I'm heading out for lunch" and quickly walked away

Next day at lunch she was right back to "oohh that smells good! Can I have some??"

This has always been the case with technology. Some things just never get cheap enough to commercialize before some other solution/work around is found. IBM created mass holographic storage systems decades ago, but they never met the markets needs or prove points. Laser discs/cd-roms were invented by the military decades before commercial application and costs allowed thier use.

You have to understand that the "heads" of most government agencies, state and federal, are basically politicians. Few know little, if anything, about the actual functioning of the agency. Yes, other people are actually running things...not because they are clandestine, but because it is just their job to do the business of the agency.

That there is no difference in the effect from different alcohols. Saying "whiskey makes me sad" "red wine makes girls angry" "tequila makes clothes come off" etc is all (I believe) Pavlovian.

If you are at a crazy party, people tend to do tequila shots. SO, you assume that tequila shots make you crazy. If you got in a fight with someone while drunk on gin, you will associate gin with anger. Same goes for the rest of them.

Yeah this has been studied and is correct. Alcohol depresses higher brain function, so your brain stops inhibiting your emotions. Therefore alcohol acts as an emotional amplifier, it doesn't give you the emotion to start with. Probably a confusion of cause and effect - sad people drink "sad" drinks, get sadder &c

Of course they are. You can’t go to school for 7 hrs a day, practice for 3hrs and then also have time for study on top of that?! That said, what you learn in class (without homework and study) should be enough to give you a passing grade anyway, just not an honours one.

That my Dad was a covert agent for the CIA. I don’t want to reveal too much but he had a job that frequently took him around the world. We even lived overseas several times while I was growing up. He often was working as a “special science advisor” for the US Dept of State when overseas. There were just enough oddities that didn’t add up. I asked him once and he laughed but never answered the question. Unfortunately he died a few months ago so I’ll never know.

I go to a "prestigious" art college in New York. Based on the talent here, I feel like all the applicants are just automatically accepted despite what their acceptance rate says online.

well in the states, universities are businesses, so obviously they want as many customers as possible, so it depends on how many applicants they get vs how many places they have. If they have fewer applicants than places, yes, they will accept anyone.

Wasn't this one traced back to a defective torpedo in the end? Negligence or something if memory serves.

I have a strong yet paranoid feeling that the life I am in right now is not my actual life.

I believe in alternate time lines and by believing in that also believe it's possible to accidently walk into the wrong timeline and back again. It's long to explain and I want to keep this short but I have too many memories that I know for a fact happened that the people around me have no memory of that I strongly think i have somehow crossed into the wrong timeline and that somewhere another me is just now finding this out.

I could also just be delusional. Maybe it's bad memory? Maybe there's something wrong where I think dreams are facts? I dont know.

I just strongly know something isn't right and I can't prove it.

Honestly, I would get that checked out by a proper psychiatrist. This may be a symptom of schizophrenia.

That my mom got rid of my cat when I was on vacation few years ago. The cat mysteriously disappeared halfway through the time I wasn’t home. My mom would always complain about cats hair(it was a Persian) and how she didn’t like it

Hope you got rid of your mother. If one of my pets disappeared while in someone's care, I wouldn't even care why, they'd be dead to me.

The government knows a lot more about things in our universe then they're telling us.

The government? The "government" is the federal courts system, the legislatures, administration of Medicare and Medicaid, the IRS, the National Parks, the EPA, etc..Yes, there are a few thousand scientists funded by the federal government who know a whole lot more about the universe than they share with the general public...not because it is secret, but because the general public does not care and, God knows, they could not understand.

Nah. He was just on a lot of drugs and alcohol. He’s admitted it himself XD He’s very open about the things he did in the past. Also, people change. Their writing “voice” may change. His books from the 90s are different from his earliest works written in the 70s, and they’re different than his modern (post-00s) books. Yet the intrinsic factor that makes him Stephen King is present in all his work. (I might just be a teensy bit of a Stephen King fan. XD I’ve read all his books and short story collections multiple times. My dad gave me The Waste Lands when I was 10 and I was hooked for life…)

Someone Asked, “What Do You Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of?”, And 30 People Spilled Their Thought-Provoking Theories (New Answers) A man ruined my career to save his own a*s and his boss backed him up by deleting the data. The latter was basically a veiled threat implied to me by the boss in a private 1 on 1. Sort of like a, “sue if you want but the recorded evidence is deleted”.

Didn’t think too much about it at the time but it should’ve been a major red flag.

All over Chicago there are billboards for hair growth treatments using Brian Urlacher with hair as the selling point. I strongly suspect like he was never bald and just shaved his head for football. That man has us played with the long con.

I have a theory about that too : If the richest man on earth is bald - and stays bald - while having all money end resources, I believe that there is indeed not cure for that.

that gallowboob is a shared account at a social media company. as an approved content partner, they basically submit stuff and give it a starting karma of a few thousand points so that it goes right to the front page which benefits reddit too.

As a company owner... What? I don't get insurance money to hire someone. Planning to send you off? That doesn't make sense either. If didn't want you, wouldn't have hired you.

I still think Hitler escaped before Berlin fell, surely someone with that much power and realising how futile the last few weeks of the war were that he wouldn't have a back up plan in motion?

Megalomaniac’s would never believe it could end badly and would therefore never turn tail and run. And no one liked him enough to pull him out.
