When a friend is feeling down in the dumps, our instinct is to console them with optimism.


While our intentions are good, the problem is that, in most cases, we wind up offering a glimmer of hope, even if we know with absolute certainty, that it may never happen.

We can only hope that "things will get better" because it just has to. And there are other things that have absolutely no guarantees in life, and we should never mention them.

Curious to hear what those may be, Redditor ThriftyGeo69 asked:

"What truly has a 0% chance of happening?"

These would make life easier. But clearly, life is not easy.

Cleaning Up Our Act

Unless we have the alien technology readily available, we will never be able to time travel.

Conceptually, it just never makes sense to visit the future, which doesn't exist.

And how can you visit the past without theoretically disrupting a life event?

That's why the idea of time travel is romanticized a lot. I'm open to hearing arguments.
