Some people seem so sure about certain things, they must know them for a fact. Right? Well, not necessarily. They might be convinced themselves, yet have no proof to convince you with. Whether it’s a conspiracy theory they’ve made up or a strong belief based on personal experience (for instance, “that sandwiches taste 100 x's better when cut diagonally”), their minds seem to be set in stone.
Redditors discussed the topic after one of them asked what they believe is 100% true but can't prove. Quite a few people were willing to share, so scroll down to find their answers and see if there's anything you believe to be true as well.

Late to the party, but I believe that infants, toddlers, and young children have emotions, thoughts and feelings just as rich and complex as adults, if not more-so due to the magnitude of each new discovery.

That ancient civilisations were WAY more advanced than we give them credit for, this line of thinking can go a few different ways, some more ridiculous than others but I think as a baseline it is true. edit: If you are feeling adventurous check out subreddits like /r/alternativehistory or /r/CulturalLayer . There are a lot of questionable posts but it's interesting stuff and some higher quality posts. It's mostly in good fun of course it's hard to prove any of this type of stuff.

The management at my work have installed some sort of signal-jamming Faraday cage around the toilets so the staff can't spend time in the toilet using the internet on their phones.

That the vacuum shop down the street is a money laundering operation. Never a customer in the store, no new inventory since what looks like the late nineties to early aughts, and yet, they've been open for business since the 1950s. A specialized vacuum shop could never survive in this walmart era, there's just no way.
Also Mattress Firm. Same deal, I just know it.

Most of the long winded top posts/comments on reddit are written by professional or aspiring writers who actually do not have the first hand experience they claim to have.

When you look at a person completely unaware of you, they have the impulse to turn and look at you too.

I’m into conspiracy theories, but at the end of the day I don’t have a strong belief in any of them. I have an open mind towards them, but I also acknowledge that they are just theories. I’m sure some of them are probably true, but there’s no way to tell which ones are and which aren’t. But I do firmly believe this: There is enough evidence to prove that the CIA and the rest of the government won’t give a flying f**k about the well-being of American citizens if it means their goals will be met. The horrors of MK-ULTRA, bacteria being sprayed across San Francisco to test the effects of biowarfare on their own citizens, all of these events actually happened. If the government would do that s**t to their own people, some of the conspiracy theories don’t sound so crazy now. When it comes down to it, you really are the CIA’s lab rat whether you like it or not.

Gatorade switched to curvy bottles to hide that they are 4 ounces smaller Edit:I am not saying it can't be proven that the bottles are 4 ounces smaller, I am saying I can't prove that the bottle shape was changed specifically so consumers wouldn't notice.

The timers at McDonalds to determine when the fries are done frying move at a rate of 2 units per second in order to make employees feel like they're moving too slow and to work faster.
