People are sharing the things they are convinced are 100% true even though they can’t prove it – 17 entirely baseless stone cold facts

Not everyone is a tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorist, but it seems like a lot of people have their peculiar hunches.

And thanks to arlett007, we now have an insight into the peculiar beliefs held by regular people. That’s because they headed over to r/AskReddit and posed this question to its inquisitive users:

‘‘What are you 100% sure is true even though you can’t prove it?’

Here are the top theories people are waiting to expose…

1.
‘There is one road, a block from my house, that Google Maps has never, ever recognized as a viable way to travel, despite it being the obvious solution to anyone in our neighborhood who needs to move out in that direction. I suspect a Google sub-founder lives in the area, and pulled some strings to reduce traffic on the street.’

‘Dock worker in the 50s/60s. Didn’t let his wife visit him at work. Gave her some really nice ivory earrings and other less than legal items.

‘Can’t prove it, he died before I was born
