It will happen! One day, it will happen! Mark my words! We all have that friend. He swears that whatever he’s talking about will eventually come to pass. Whether it’s the world splitting at the seams, aliens taking over, or Jaden Smith actually making sense, your friend swears by it. The only problem? It’s actually never going to happen. It just won’t. He wants to think it will because it makes his otherwise incredibly boring life slightly more interesting, but it won’t. It just won’t. Can you even think of a universe in which Jaden Smith would make sense? That’s utterly ludicrous!
Okay, enough joking. On a serious note, there are definitely some things that just won’t happen. For example, in standard, euclidean geometry, two parallel lines will never touch. It just won’t happen. But, back to joking (you thought we could stay serious?), most of this list is going to be tongue-in-cheek; not all of it, but most of it. That’s not a bad thing, right? It’s good to laugh every once in a while.
So get ready to shake your head in agreement (unless you’re that guy)
because these are 25 Things That Will Simply Never Happen Even If You Want Them To.
