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.

No, not early. This is the most advanced case the medical profession has ever seen. They are amazed at how progressed this is. Truly an astounding case and beyond what anyone before has ever experience. A remarkable condition. A stand alone achievment in the realm of dementia. Unparalleled!

Early Onset Senior Dementia. He scores a perfect 100% with all the metrics. Then there’s the BPD/NPD on top of that, for which he is the example of narcissist.

Joe Biden is an great example of someone who is succumbing to senility. It's overwhelmingly evident. He displays nearly every hallmark of dementia like orientation problems, communication difficulties, memory loss, & abrupt personality changes. Trump's issues are more complicated due to his narcissism & deluded sense of self. He thinks that everything he says/does is the product of his "high-IQ, genius brain." Unfortunately, Trump isn't nearly as intelligent as he thinks he is, which is why he often launches into rambling diatribes that can be very difficult to understand. In other words, his limited intelligence complicates his ability to communicate effectively.

You don't need dementia to explain Trump. People spend too much time trying to project a normally functioning mind on this guy, then try to determine what's wrong with it, what he "really means" when he talks, what he actually thinks. Pointless. Nothing here that can't be explained with a cocktail of narcissism and sociopathy.

I think he’s always been an attention-craving sociopath, and now that his followers support almost literally anything that comes out of his mouth (as long it owns the libs, right?), now that he’s held real power, he’s essentially been given permission to act on and speak about every whim, every passing thought that sails between his ears. He doesn’t have to filter or fake it or anything; he just gets to be his unfettered, rawest self. This completely unhinges people.

Trump is a "reality star", who's main strength is that he is relatable for common people, and being relatable can be more important in politics than being right, as many people are way more driven by their feelings than their brain. Hence apaering too interlectual and smart, could end up distancing him from his voters, and hence, being as dumb as they are and echoing their ridicilous claims, and not taking matteres too seriously, may be a tactic from his side

Have an aunt who just died from dementia and she did not behave anything like Trump. In fact, Trump's behavior actually proves that he is far from having dementia. On the other hand Biden's behavior since he has illegally occupied the White House is so textbook dementia that in the future, all textbooks will use him as the perfect example of what signs to look for in people with dementia.

Do you enjoy paying the current prices for gas and groceries? It's only going to get worse until the liberal agenda gets shut down. Inflation is 90% the fault of this administration.

The inflation is not Joe Biden’s fault. There has been more job growth in his first 20 months as president then there has been in any presidents first 20 months. He also has been promoting policies like putting a price cap on insulin, letting Medicare negotiate lower prescription drug prices, student loan forgiveness, and childcare subsidies, all which would decrease prices and lower inflation, but the republicans have voted against these policies. Also, Putin’s war has pushed oil and gas prices way up.

Absolutely not. While I do agree that presidents are often scapegoats, Trump did a terrible job in office. He was inexperienced and naive and refused to admit when he was wrong. Joe’s not doing the best job, but it’s much better than the fiasco that was Trump’s presidency. He refused to take advice from experts on how to handle things, then when people pointed out his mistakes he would just blatantly deny them (remember when he drew a hurricanes path with a sharpie lol). He call any news that portrayed him in a bad light fake news. I still have no clue how people still think he’s this great guy who knows everything and why they believe everything he says, even when his statements outright contradict what he has said before.

No Biden is still fairly predictable. He's probably got another year or two before it starts to set in. Trump on the other hand is already losing grip on reality and wanting to inject disinfectant and send missiles into hurricanes. Those ideas are not the product of a healthy brain. He really should see a doctor.

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.

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

"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!

This is absolutely true. Good weather brings more assholes out onto the streets or public areas. They never come out when it rains. This is why I always hate sunny weather and love rain

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??"

That the "shuffle" feature on my iPhone isn't random at all. Far too often I'll get the same artist back-to-back, or even two songs from the same album right after the other. I suspect Apple pushes some bands that either have new albums, or are touring in my area soon, to subliminally promote the artists.

This has been proved already as true as a pure random generator wasn’t believed by people, as repeats were seen as not random. So they created a “random” generator that removed previous numbers from the list.

There's bleeding edge technology not available to the public and perhaps only available to a selected bunch. I mean, touch screens were invented in the 70s, but didn't become popular until the 00s. Yes, they were more expensive to make back then but still. F**k knows what they've invented now.

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 the milk corporations really want dominance over the breakfast beverage market.

1. I once read that the dairy companies petitioned/bribed/lobbied whoever made/remade the food pyramid to have a significantly noticeable portion dedicated solely to "Dairy".

2. I once saw a "got milk" ad that was pretty much a personal attack against almond milk. I always wondered why they would spend resources just to reduce the name of a minor competitor

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
