And don't give death as an example because do we really know anything about it-REALLY. We know nothing about what happens when a body appears to cease functioning.

We all know NOTHING!
And anyway who believes otherwise is deluded.

Yes, there are a few things which anybody really knows as 100% true.
It is weekend and I am setting up this veggie patch in our back garden. I know 100% and everybody else knows this too, that if I want to reap carrots I need to put carrot seeds into the earth.
There is no way in the world this could be different and if I sow broccoli I will never be able to reap carrots. Action will result in Reaction, it cannot be any other way .
Then I know and everybody else knows this too, if I take my laptop in my house and let it go it will fall down, due to the law of gravity, no other way.
The same when I throw a stone into water it will sink down due to his heaviness, but a leaf which is lighter will stay up.
There is this law of give and take which I know and everybody else 100 percent knows, as if I do not breath out so give, I cannot receive again.

If it's a given that our physical perceptions are true (ie, do we know we're feeling our heart beat), then yes. In addition, all the rules of manmade constructs, such as with mathematics, are known to be true by at least someone because someone made them. I'm not quite sure I understand how absolutes (the fact that we're on Earth, etc) can not be absolute, though.

100% true. If you jump from a helicopter down 50 feet to the ocean, upon impact, you will be dead!!

It seems reasonably accurate that the sun rises in the East and sets in the West. That said it will continue to do so after we are all dead and gone..

I'll say we all know nothing--100% true is beyond what any person can possibly know.

We all know that we are currently breathing, and have took that first breath since the day of our birth, and our bodies, lungs, heart, etc have supported us that long...

I do...I do!
I know that there is nothing that we can know to be 100% true.
Except for that...

With one bit of acceptable emperical knowledge, namely that what we observe is real, yes.
