People Reveal What Question They'll Never Get The Answer To

In the words of The Lion King:

[rebelmouse-image 18355656 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

"There's more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than can ever be done." We as humans cannot possibly know the answer to everything. Whether it's questions we have about the world or questions for people who can never answer them, we have millions and millions of questions that will truly never go unanswered.

u/te_affligam seeked to compile a list:

What question will you never get the answer to?

Here were some of the answers.

But Did It Happen?

[rebelmouse-image 18345809 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

When I was in highschool I had to get my gallbladder out but something wasn't great and I had to get another procedure a few days later. As I'm heading in I'm joking around with the nurses and they're joking around with me. They slip in the IV and ask if I've got any tattoos or anything I don't want my mom to know about.

I laugh and just as they seem to be ready to knock me out, one of the nurses turns to me and says, "just so you know I might have to stick my finger up your butt"

And then I was out.

I still don't know. And I will never know. It haunts me

A Few Options

[rebelmouse-image 18355657 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

My birthday is November 15th, meaning I was "made" around February 14th, aka Valentine's day.... BUT, my dads birthday is February 13th. I guess my question is, was I a birthday present, valentines day gift, or a mistake?

Haha Yeah!

Some years ago, I was in a bar and a girl said something to me that I didn't understand because the music was too loud. So I answered an automatic "yeah haha" which gave her a huge smile made her reply something like "too late ;)".

Wtf did she ask me?

A Story

[rebelmouse-image 18355659 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

My father recently passed away and in his things I found a beautiful gold pocket watch. It looks like it's from the late 19th century and the type you see in the movies being passed down from generation to generation. However, my father never wore a pocket watch nor did his father, to my knowledge.

The watch is lovely and in excellent condition, it works perfectly. Yet, I have no idea what the story is with this wonderful heirloom. Since my father comes from a family of war refugees, I would be additionally interested in even the story of it making it into the country. My dad was the last of all his siblings to pass away and, perhaps needless to say, his parents and their siblings have also passed. So, I guess I'll never know.

In A Pickle

Of all the things that can be pickled, why is a pickled cucumber the only thing we call a pickle?

Rabbit Hole

[rebelmouse-image 18355672 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Just how deep does the rabbit hole go, regarding conspiracy theories being true?

Like, is the CIA running the world drug trade?

Does the Illuminati (or whatever name for a shadow government) exist?

Do people really not like pineapple on pizza or is it just an ad campaign for pizza companies to save money by not having to stock pineapple anymore?

Lost In The Wilderness

[rebelmouse-image 18355673 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I got really lost once exploring the back roads in the countryside and tried to take this shortcut through a dense forest that would supposedly take me straight back to the main country road I was trying to get back to.

I spent something like 40 or 50 minutes following this windy and bumpy road through dense forest lands and large hills, only to eventually come across a large sign blocking the road saying "ROAD CLOSED". I had taken this huge detour for nothing and now I was even more lost.

I eventually got back home after a few hours of backtracking, but that road block was still lingering in my mind. Why was the road blocked that far in? Was it a fallen tree? Was it a flood? Was there some kind of large scale destruction that made the road unusable? Did it lead into private property and this was just a hack job way of rectifying it? Or was it something more out there like a biological contamination or maybe something supernatural?

I tried traveling to where the road was supposed to terminate in the other side some time later to try and see if I could explore the road from the other side and find out what's going on, but I couldn't find it. I've entertained the thought of traveling back there and just exploring the road on foot, but it's waaaay out of the way and honestly not worth it. So I guess I'll never know why that mountain road is closed. And maybe that's for the best, since it's become so mysterious to me that any answer is likely to be hella disappointing.

Questions Questions

[rebelmouse-image 18355675 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Big Bang Theory

[rebelmouse-image 18350891 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

What happened just before the Big Bang? I want to know.

People are required to have a license to drive, fish, and have certain jobs.

So it boggles my mind that people aren't required to have a license to have kids.

Some of the cruelest and most vicious things I've ever heard were words uttered by a parent to a child.

As an adult, I was haunted by a few thigs.

I can't imagine the scaring of an adolescent.

A tough realization that most of us have to process and accept at some point is the fact that our parents lied to us when we were kids.

But the tougher fact to process may not be the lying itself, but some of the lies that were told along the way.

With theaters finally open to those wanting the ultimate entertainment experience that streaming movies at home can't provide, the pandemic that kept many venues closed now feels like a distant memory.

There's nothing like seeing a film up on the big screen the way Hollywood studios intended, and many would argue that experience is worth shelling out the cash for.

That being said, there is no assurance audiences will remain in their seats until the credits roll at the end.

Because not all movies are created equal. Some are just embarrassingly bad and not worth sticking around for.

If there was one good thing to come out of the pandemic, it was that it made us all the more appreciative of all that is good in our lives.

No one ever appreciated the importance of friends or family more, having to be kept apart from each other for months, or the little things which bring us joy, which we made sure to keep doing even as pandemic restrictions were lifted.

Of course, being alone with our thoughts for such a long time also resulted in our reflecting on things in our lives, or in the world in general, which we were less than happy about.

Not to mention the all-important realization that life is short and precious, and we don't have time to waste our thoughts on some things.
