There are some things we all know to be true, even if we don’t ever talk about them. A Reddit post digs into this by asking, “What’s something that ‘everybody knows’ but nobody actually says out loud?”
Thousands of responses have come in so far and these are some of the most popular unspoken truths.
- “Looks do matter, and they matter a lot.”
- “People who get paid the least do most of the work.”
- “Having mentally sane parents is one of the most important privileges in life.”
- “There actually are people above the law.”
- “Most newborn babies are ugly on the first day.”
- “Everybody knows that success often comes from luck and timing, but we rarely admit it. We prefer to believe it's all hard work and talent.”
- “Money absolutely matters.”
- “That religion is a social construct, where you are born largely determines your religion. If you happened to be born in India there is over an 80% chance you will be Hindu. If you are born in the US you probably will be a Christian.”
- “Dating leagues exist.”
- “Emotional intelligence is vastly underrated.”
- “Children that are complete a-holes exist. The parents know.”
- “Nobody’s actually read the Terms and Conditions, like ever. We just scroll to the bottom, hit accept, and hope we didn’t sell our souls to some tech overlord.”
- “We are all just kids walking around in grown up bodies.”
- “Good looking people get away more when behaving badly”
- “In any group of people, everyone knows the pecking order, nobody ever verbalizes it. It would be weird.”
- “Brown nosing works.”

Scott's Thoughts:
- For most newborn babies, it’s not just the first day they’re not so cute!
- Some of these really hit home for me.
- I do not agree with "Brown Nosing" as something that works. It doesn't work on me I can tell you that much.
