Life's biggest and most confusing question is "WHY?" The answer to why is what we most want to know.
And for the most part we'll NEVER understand the whys. Why wouldn't you do things that way or this way? WHY are you posting that when you're asking for privacy?
Questioning is exhausting.

Redditor gamedemon24 asked a very similar and intriguing question.
What makes absolutely 0% sense to you?
The responses were EPIC! AND... very telling. For example :
Why wouldn't you take LIFE SAVING meds?
I work in Fire and EMS. When patients quit taking their blood pressure medication because they don't have high blood pressure anymore. That's because it's working nitwit! Or seizure medication. Or diabetes medication. 214bouncyballs
Why aren't teeth as important as a bladder?
I don't understand why dental care is not considered actual health care and it treated like a sidecar benefit. bodhilady

A girl I once knew put up maternity pictures of herself on facebook. One of the pics was of her in a white lacy dress in a bathtub filled with milk and flowers. I just don't understand why. VirginArnoldPalmer

To be fair... Google knows alot!
How easily people can convince themselves they know more about a topic than an expert, who has devoted their life to a topic, after a 10 minute google search. Logic512
Now tacos are 24 hours! That's a law right?
I tried to go through the Taco Bell drive-thru on a Friday night, and they had closed at 10pm.

Get ready... a hurricane is coming!
I currently live in Texas. The fact that I'm on standby for going into work during this weather is baffling. My store still hasn't officially closed. Whoever is attempting to shop at a clothing store during a hurricane make no sense. Awshiznitz
Menus without prices, or just selling anything without a price on it. If you don't tell me how much something is until it's time to pay for it then I'm just not going to buy anything at all. Early_
Finally we're ready to put Emily Post in here place.
Why there are certain foods for breakfast, Lunch, and dinner.
Why is cereal a breakfast item? Why is it not normal to eat it for dinner?
Why are chicken biscuits a breakfast item? Can't I have those for dinner? Seems appetizing for dinner.
Pizza for breakfast is the best, why is it frowned upon? youssefprime

Appreciating humanity is important!
Consciousness. Not in comparison to being unconscious. But out of the trillions of animals on Earth, how did I end up in this body? I could have been born a slave in some ancient culture. I could have been a cat, bird, or some insect that lived for 4 days. Why me? Why now? My egg could have split in the womb and I could have been a twin. What happened to his consciousness? I have 3 kids. My wife lost a pregnancy between kid #2 and #3. I don't know if it was a girl or a boy. We could have had a kid #4, #5, and so on, but we chose to stop. What about them? What would they have been like? How many great (or mediocre) people were never born? It seems that the set of possible conscious beings would be HUGE and the VAST majority of them never have a being to walk around in. How the hell did I (or we) end up so damn lucky? dog_superiority
Food for thought.

What came first? The chicken, the egg or... time?
Time. I will never be able to wrap my head around time.It must have started at some point. But, what was there before time? And was there anything before that, and before that?One day there was nothing, the next day we have a massive universe.

Some questions are forever! No matter how many times it's explained to you. Not everyone is always going to get it.

"This is not a fun or funny example, but, 'niggardly'."
"Etymologically, it has absolutely nothing to do with that other word. They have totally different origins, and sound/look similar purely as a matter of coincidence."
"But it's just not worth the explanation when "stingy" or 'miserly" work just as well, so it's basically a dead word."

"He explained what it meant but I sure never ever used that word."
- baxbooch

If you feel like you've sufficiently got your anger or frustration out of your system, your choice of words served their purpose.
Whether or not they would have to be bleeped out on network TV.
When we think of iconic movie quotes, there are several which come instantly to mind.
"Here's looking at you, kid."
"Love is never having to say you're sorry."
"I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse."
Appropriately, the ones that might haunt us the most, are those delivered by villains, who linger in our memories not only by their creepy attire and presence but by their devious choice of words.
Frightening us long after the credits stop rolling.
Redditor N_the_character was eager to hear what the Reddit community considered the best quotes from both Hollywood's legendary villains, as well as some lesser-known antagonists from film, TV, and video games, leading them to ask:
"What's the most bada** villain quote?"
