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.

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!

I know I'm in the minority but I absolutely hate hot, sunny weather. I love the rain. I love gray skies. I love cool temperatures. I think Seattle has great weather. I don't even like mildly warm weather. If it's over 70⁰ F, I don't want to be out. What most people consider "good weather," I consider terrible weather. I want to live somewhere that is never (ideally) hotter than the 60s, has gray, overcast skies all the time. I don't want to see the sun. I would fast forward straight to October, if I could.

Can totally relate to this. I'm Jamaican and used to teach at a high school. As the summer months approached each year, disagreements and fights among students would start to increase, and would worsen towards the end of the school year. The heat just messes with the psyche; it's no joke! There's a valid reason why schools go on holiday during the summer.

when the temperature goes out of the comfortable range, it puts you under a bit of stress, which takes away some of your mental capacity, as you tend to focus on the signals your body is constantly sending you. I can feel that on the really warm days where my head just stops functioning, and I can't consentrate so everything runs a bit slower. When we get stressed or worn down, the capacity for the advanced level of thinking required to be empathatic goes down, and we begin acting more animal like and instinctive as the fuse gets shorter.

The Santa Ana winda in LA can be linked to an increase in violent crimes such as assaults. They are hot, and people lose their temper. I also was discussing this fact with a floor manager in a poker room. They keep the room extra cool. People tend to get heated when playing poker, so they keep it cool to reduce the amount of fights.

Both are true. There is more crime in nice weather because more people are outside of their homes AND the hotter it gets, to the point of discomfort & beyond, the more people get irritable\angry, the more violent crime there is. This has been studied both in local areas over different times a year and in geographical terms where the farther south you go in the summer, the more violent crime there is.

They also get louder. I'm in North Sweden and at this time of the year it's daylight 20 hours out of the day and the remaining 4 hours it's a little darker but not completely dark which means that kids are out screaming for 14 - 16 hours a day, especially weekends and evenings after school. Adults in my neighbourhood are blasting loud bass music almost all the time and it's awful. I'm very light and sound sensitive and the next 4 months are hell. Much prefer the fall and winter when it's dark 20 hours a day and so cold no one is out.

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 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??"

There's a bunch of s**t that makes me think she resembles and has habits like somebody my mother "knew".

That I got fired from my job because the boss was friends with a family I had a falling out with. Guess when their son sexually assaulted me it was suppose to be my fault. But I can't prove it and they won't say.

I believe my father might have been killed by his wife. We had no real proof other than the words of that lady's former friend. Once he died we realized everything had been taken out of my name and left to her.

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.

That the NBA is rigged. I don't think they want specific winners per se, but I think they want to ensure that there are superstars to drum up business. To that end refs always favor the big name athletes.

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.

I believe two of my coworkers are having an affair, based on the way they act around each other, and they keep it secret because one of them is married.

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
