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.

Everything possible will happen at least once, more summarily, everything is eventual. Maybe there is theoretical evidence of this idea and I’ve heard it talked about but I don’t think it’s a common thing to have a strong belief in one way or the other. I find the idea exciting. With my limited understanding of how things work even I can imagine some really interesting things that must happen somewhere eventually, or may already have. What we’re observing is such a small part of what’s is and what will be. To quote Tom Petty, You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.

They shot down flight 93. Two planes hit the twin towers, one hit the pentagon, one was on course for who knows where. They shot it down to save more lives and made up a story of heroism. How could they know if the passengers over powered the high jackers and crashed the plane?
