A wise man once said that if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. And nowadays, there is so much misinformation out there that it's easy to go tumbling head-first into a dark hole of nonsense if you aren't careful.
We're taught to fact check, cross-reference and dig for evidence before blindly believing. But sometimes, we just know something to be true, even when there's nothing to back it up. Someone asked, "What’s something you have zero proof of but believe 100 percent?" and more than 5,000 people threw caution to the wind as they boldly shared the hills they're willing to perish on.
Bored Panda has put together the most interesting answers... From wild theories to highly believable ideas, some might have you questioning what you thought you knew to be true. Others could have you wanting to punch your screen.

Those "only 1% of people" memes/puzzles are designed to get people to believe they're smarter than they are so they can trick them into believing some dumb stuff.

There is life elsewhere in the universe. I recognize that it's not necessarily true, but...
Wigbold:
It would be the most extraordinary thing if we are actually alone. Like, unfathomably extraordinary. There are just THAT many stars with planets that the chance of there NOT being life elsewhere is near zero.

Dating Apps, like Tinder, Hinge etc, have an algorithm good enough to match people with others they would fall in love with, marry and happily spend the rest of their lives with. But this would cause people to then unsubscribe from their services. So instead we get the algorithm that keeps people paying the most and on the apps the longest.

That most people are way lonelier than they admit. Everyone's pretending they're fine but deep down a lot of folks are just isolated as hell. No data, just vibes.

That there are no grand government conspiracies. That's far too many layers of complexity for anyone to reasonably control. Instead, it's uncounted layers upon layers of personal agendas, greed, and incompetence. All interwoven into an absolute mess of a system that somewhat resembles a conspiracy.

I 100% believe that music can transfer energy/emotion between people across time. When you listen to a song that someone poured their soul into whether it’s from 1972 or last year you’re not just hearing sounds. You’re catching a direct hit of whatever they were feeling when they made it. Heartbreak, pure joy, rage, loneliness, hope… it hits you in the chest exactly like it hit them. I have zero scientific proof of this.

Well I mean, the superrich being a network of degeneracy and rampantly using their power to actively make the lives of us all worse because they can‘t stop hoarding already is pretty much proven true with Epstein.
So I‘ll stick with: somewhere in the universe there is a high civilization that already has been wiped out (by themselves or sickness/natural causes) and we will someday find their ruins.

Keeping people and cultures separate without a space to learn more about each other and have personal experiences with each other is part of the social divide that makes everyone you don’t know feel like a threat.

All of the hype about Tom Cruise doing his own stunts and how he picks up every skill he puts his hand to is pure Scientology propaganda . Oh, he's decided to learn how to fly a helicopter and he's as good as lifelong pilots? He learns how to shoot pool for a movie and he's suddenly a pro level master? Is there any chance this has to do with the fact that he's the public face of an organization well known for spewing propaganda like there's no tomorrow?

That Comcast throttles your internet sometimes for whatever reason. But ever since they bought SpeedTest.net, if you go to that website when your Internet is slow. Somehow it mysteriously turns super fast. I think they monitor it and fast lane you so you don't get proof of them being [jerks].

Ghislaine maxwell was the real mastermind behind Epstein. She inherited the business from her father.
I have loose evidence at best for this. But there was a [criminal] ring in the UK that had broken up naturally by the time things went public (arrests for financial crimes, etc.). Well around the time it fell apart, Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father and a major UK socialite was unceremoniously outed from the UK business world, he later died mysteriously on his yacht, named after his daughter Ghislaine.
I think they [made him disappear] and she inherited the business, moved to the US and hooked up with Epstein to be the face of the business.
Maxwell also had ties to Israel, and their Prime Minister even attended Maxwells funeral in Jerusalem... Which lends to the theory that the whole group was an Israeli operation to get blackmail on prominent businessmen and politicians.
