Everyone has got a theory. Being people, we're more often compelled by how true something seems rather than if there's any evidence for it. Cue people's personal conspiracies about how mattress stores are all crime fronts and handbag companies work with pants companies to deliberately make women's pockets too small. They sure seem plausible, and boy do we like to believe a weird new theory.

    Font - CrabHandsTheMan - 20h 94 2 & 5 More My bond with my bearded dragon goes beyond "he's warm". I understand the limitations of his tiny nervous system and that he isn't capable of affection. I just firmly believe that he not only wants heat and food, but that he finds my presence to be pleasant. That boy will come off his basking log as hot as hell ever need to be, with a belly full of bugs, and still come hauling over just to fall asleep on me. I don't know what it is, but it's more than ju

    Font - SharpieKing69 · 20h 9 Whether they realize it or not, even the most sincere people that do reviews for stuff within a certain hobby/interest don't provide their real opinions. If they're too negative about too many products, companies won't send them stuff. If they say stuff too far outside the groupthink of their community, people won't want to watch their channel anymore. As a result, most of them are simply putting their own spin on what the general consensus tends to be.

    Font - Jakkzzyy · 20h Something in my old elementary school is causing people to get cancer. I lived in a small town, right around 4,000 people. I went to the private Catholic school in the area which was even smaller, I graduated with 15 in my class and there were less than 300 students total at the time. Despite this very small amount of people, 6 students and faculty members have been diagnosed with cancer over the past 5 years. The odds are so unbelievably slim that I'm sure something cancer

    Font - StreetIndependence62 · 21h S 3 There is at least ONE giant creature deep down in the ocean that we don't know about because we have never seen before. Like maybe one of those megalodons/plesiosaurs. We thought giant squids weren't real until we found one. Oh and also maybe aliens..I like getting carried away with this stuff and since there's no real 100% evidence that the answer is no, what's wrong with thinking it might be true? :)

    Font - Idiot_Savant_Tinker · 16h e S 2 @ & 5 More Our dog knew my wife was pregnant before she did. Normally she was a sweet and lazy lovable dumbass who would hang out with whoever wasn't moving. (The dog, not the wife) Then one day, she decided she wasn't going to leave my wife's side. She wasn't aggressive, but she wasn't going anywhere either. Followed her everywhere for a few weeks, then spousal unit started getting sick, and went to the doctor, and the doctor said "Lets check the obvious".

    Font - DiscountGlobal3756 · 21h We're never going to contact intelligent alien life. It probably exists but the universe is simply too big. We've let ourselves get carried away with sci-fi depictions of impossible technologies that we assume one day we'll be able to cross vast distance in the blink if an eye, but it's more likely that we just can't.

    Font - Kmlevitt · 16h Lately, Disney has been trying to revive the old "steamboat Willy" version of Mickey Mouse through merchandise and new cartoons drawn in the old fashion that nobody really asked for. I think they are doing all of that deliberately so that they can try to fight the scheduled copyright expirations on their old cartoons.
