Are you the type of person that doesn’t believe everything you hear or read? With the world becoming increasingly wary of the information they consume, people are more willing to put their faith in anything. Here are some things that members of a popular online community believe with little evidence.
We Are Not Alone
The age-old question is whether there is life on other planets. One member explains that there must be “Life on other planets….somewhere.” After all, the US government does have UFOs tucked away secretly. Don’t they?
If It’s Not Here, It’s Not True
We base our experience on the things that surround us. Yet, if there something isn’t within our immediate vicinity, is it true? According to one person, “everything that I cannot currently smell, see, touch, taste, or hear, yet generally accept to be fact.” There’s a philosophical point to ponder.
Are You For Real?
How do you know that person in front of you actually is real? Of course, we know that they are because we can see, hear and touch them. Yet for one person, “I might be the only living thing and everyone is fake.” Or is everyone real, and I’m fake?
This World Is An Illusion
The Matrix has us wondering whether we were stuck in a computer-generated fake world. That the reality around us is simply an illusion that we need to wake up from. As one individual explains, “Are you just some delusion my mind has thought up and conveniently placed inside my imaginary computer?” A question that will have you laying awake at night.
It Worked In The Past
Experience is great. You learn what works and what doesn’t. That way, you avoid making similar mistakes in the future. Yet, according to one user, they believe “If it worked before, it will work in the future.” Chaos theory comes into play here.
We Are All The Same
Some people like to think that “The average normal person thinks like me.” Wouldn’t life be so much easier if that was true? We have a natural assumption that everybody thinks the same.
Do You Believe That?
A typical response in the online community is that people accept their religious beliefs too readily. Sure, some people may say that “I believe what I believe because it feels right,” and don’t look for objective evidence.
This Is Supposed To Be Easy?
Cereal companies like to boast about their products. Kids aren’t as strong as grown-ups, so it makes sense that children’s cereal should be more user-friendly. One belief that one member has is “That cereals made for children (Lucky Charms, Trix, etc.) are easier to open than regular cereals.” Perhaps they are and you just haven’t discovered the secret.
The Mysterious Ocean
The sea can be a fascinating place. Makes one wonder what lies at the deepest of the deep parts of the ocean. An astute and curious individual suggests “there is something remarkable in the darkest places in the ocean.” Oh, if only we could go down there to check.
They Are Out There
Lochness Monster is one of life’s greatest mysteries. The debate still rages as to whether it exists or not. But let’s not confine ourselves to a lake within Scotland. One user believes, “I’m convinced there are definitely ‘sea monsters’ out there. The ocean’s so big I’m sure there’s at least one large, undiscovered sea creature out there.” Who’s brave enough to go out and look?
Who Am I?
Introspection can be fun. However, it can lead to philosophical contemplation about who you are. One individual mulled over, “I occasionally have this weird feeling like I wasn’t always who I am.” How can you prove who you are?
What Are You Looking At?
Some members believe that if you stare at the back of someone’s head long enough, the person will turn around. When they do, the question is, was it because you were looking, or it was just a random event?
Well, That Was Lucky, For Me
Quantum physics suggests that there are alternate realities. An infinite amount of possibilities that stretch out around us. Add to the mix that there are also replica copies of “you” existing in these dimensions and then you have the situation in which one user explains, “Every time I have a moment of near-danger, eg I almost get hit by a car or fall from a high place, I think ‘damn, I just died in some timelines.'”
Animals Know
For anyone who has a pet, you are sure, just as this community member, that “My dog knows exactly what I’m saying, even though she pretends she doesn’t.” Yep, animals can interpret human language; they just act as though they don’t understand.
I Can See What’s Going On
Working together, people can become close. Some relationships have you wondering what is going on. One guy mentions, “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.” Office romances do have to remain in stealth mode.
That Tastes Delicious
When it comes to food, a community member believes that “A sandwich made by someone else is better than the sandwich you make yourself.” You may think that’s weird, but there is some truth behind it. Psychologically, food made by others tastes better because it’s a reflection of the way we feel towards them.
Fake News
The idea that news agencies are biased isn’t anything new. In fact, as one person suggests, “There is no trustworthy news source.” So, where can we get our news from now?
Don’t Drink That
Water is water, right? Well, according to one guy, “Water from the bathroom sink is TOTALLY different from kitchen sink water and completely undrinkable.” Some people concur and say that it’s due to the differences in the metal used in the piping and the taps. Only one way to find out if it’s true…grab a glass and drink up.
