“What’s Something You Suspect But Can’t Prove?” (25 Answers)

One evening my husband and I were discussing a problem at work and he said "And I just don't know what to do". The ipad was on the counter between us. The screen lit up and Siri announced "It sounds like you are having an existential crisis". They're listening always.

Uhh....yeah that has been known for a while.

this is a fact. We all know it. We all prove and test it out often

IPhones yes, androids no.

My phone even knows what songs I'm playing on the piano. Hits me with an ad for any product with a word in the song title.

Animals are way smarter than we often think. I'm just happy when the neighbour's cat waves back at me when I wave at him (from two floors above I might add). Friend's cat, whom we often catsit, definitely understands the word "yoghurt" and generally seems to understand "don't be long" when I let him out and want him to come back in!

They definitely understand us. I'm pretty sure my dog knows everything I say. He hates commands like "good boy" but if I say "thank you friend" he is extremely receptive. Same with the word "please." It works wonders

Reminds me of my favorite scientific study headline: "Cats Understand You; They Just Don't Care." Seriously: ever get the feeling they understand you just fine but they think that humans are just too stupid to bother trying to communicate with?

I'm fairly sure that my late Chihuahua cross pretended to be asleep if he didn't want to deal with me. I miss the beautiful little arsehole.

Some dogs can rec abt 300 words. Think abiut it 😉

The quantity sometimes decreases, too.

The "new and improved" refers to the manufacturer's profits, of course.

Many years ago, I thought that "quality control" meant meeting the highest standards for a product or service. Then I learned that it is the opposite: keeping the quality purposely low to allow for later appearances of improvement.

The manufacturers of chocolate products think we don't notice when they 'downsize'. Well, we DO!! It happens so frequently we haven't got the time to complain.

"improved": doesn't say what exactly got improved. My first answer would always be "most likely the profit margin". Also AFAIK there's no official period of limitation to "new". To a paleontologist or an evolutionary biologist it means something like "during the last 10 000 years". Ads tell the truth like lawyers and fae do: in a very specialised, highly subjective, and/or extremely limited way.

I am concerned about the level of perfumes we inhale. Not "going out" perfumes, but the air fresheners, hanging smellies in the car, misting pumps in public toilets, etc.

What I always found "interesting" is how people would complain about "2nd hand smoke" from 50 feet away, but at the same time spend an hour in stop and go traffic every workday and think nothing of it.

At least I try not to breath in any aerosols when doing things at home..

There is definitely a troll of some description that comes and puts greasy marks all over my glasses whilst they are on the bedside table at night!

I have the same thing. Just recently, I had started eating peanut butter on a regular basis (never done that before), and I started getting "symptoms," like sores in my mouth and hives on my back, and I slowly started thinking I might have a mild allergy to peanuts that I never noticed before. About that time, a jar of peanut butter that was about 1/3 full vanished from my refrigerator. I think the spirits or "thing" took it knowing I was right about the allergy. They still have it, and my symptoms have vastly improved since I stopped eating it. It's annoying sometimes, but I kinda like having them around.

You're not alone. In my house stuff disappears all the time and then turns up sometimes weeks or months later in the most random places.

Makes you sound crazy as well.

I think this is true for me as well. No matter what I organize or clean or move, something comes behind me and moves it again. Like I stacked my magazines extremely neat on my shelf and came back and they were haphazardly stacked and sticking out. I have a photographic memory when I put things away. I can remember where everything is down to each paper I file so it drives me f*****g bananas. And then there are the days I wonder if I actually am insane or have early onset dementia or if my imagination is so developed that I imagined myself putting everything away and in reality I did not.

Jokes on them, I just carry my wallet or use a basket 🧺

Does every single manufacturer of women's clothing also offer a line of handbags?

I recently read that at some point in history women’s clothes were made without pockets to prevent them from being able to carry around seditious pamphlets, like the suffragettes.

I usually carry too much stuff to fit in pockets. Pockets are good for tissues and tampons.

I buy a back pack, men's jeans and a hoodie

And a lot of people are NOT in jail for crimes they DID commit because they weren't caught OR it couldn't be proved/cops couldn't wear them down to confess/couldn't find someone to give a reduced sentence to for their sworn statement of guilt on the part of the accused.

When doing prison ministry, I was floored that virtually every criminal said that they didn't commit the crime they were accused of, but that they did belong in prison for other crimes. The more experienced guys explained afterward that they feel the need to talk about their crimes, but they can't admit to doing the actual crimes that they were imprisoned for. I suppose that's true for many of them, but I wonder how many it's not true for.

This would greatly decrease, if law enforcement and prosecution agencies stopped using "cases cleared and successful convictions" as the primary markers for promotions. Written and skills testing, panel board interviews, and position papers, should be main factors. A review of their successful cases should be conducted, but should never be the primary or even the deciding factor. Just like "private prisons" that are built with public money, run by for profit companies, who have shares for trading on the Stock Exchange. That is like asking ExxonMobil to run the EPA and OSHA.

Had to look up zoochosis: A form of psychosis that develops in animals held captive in zoos. Most often, it manifests in what are called stereotypic behaviors, or stereotypies, which are often monotonous, obsessive, repetitive actions that serve no purpose. An example would be a lion's pacing or elephant rocking.

CPTSD? Many people have it. If you don't think so your living in denial and delusion.

I feel this is definitely true.

h**h fructose corn syrup, to be exact, IMO

I'm doing an intuitive eating workbook to learn attunement to my body. I'm off and on about it.That saying, I still feel sugar is an highly addictive substance and shouldn't be put in so much food. Especially with h**h dental costs. I do enjoy a treat! I'm trying not to view it as bad. I do find myself using raw honey to flavor oatmeal or Greek yogurt kinda thing. But Yolo and want chocolate cake from time to time.
