Reddit is great for asking impossible questions that really get people thinking. <\/strong><\/p>\n

SO when over on the r\/AskReddit thread, one user posed the question<\/a>: “What’s the most mind-blowing philosophical question you can think of?” responders didn’t hold back.<\/p>\n

From questions about the universe’s size to why we die, Redditors dug deep to think of the questions that will leave you pondering life. <\/p>\n

But most of them left us stumped…<\/p>\n

1. If God exists and He (or She) revealed themselves, would people accept God as God?
<\/h3>\n

This is especially interesting if you imagine God to appear nothing like the way He’s depicted. <\/p>\n

2. If the Universe was born at the Big Bang, what existed before then?<\/h3>\n

Dust??<\/p>\n

3. If you were to replace a boat piece by piece, is it the same boat?<\/h3>\n

4. How do we know what color is?<\/h3>\n

Who’s to say your version of purple is the same as mine. We’ll never know. <\/p>\n

5. Why do women go through menopause but men do not?<\/h3>\n

If anything, sexist. <\/p>\n

6. What is at the bottom of the ocean?<\/h3>\n

Actually, I don’t want to know this one. <\/p>\n

7. Are people with amnesia who never regain their original memories, still essentially the same person?<\/h3>\n

8. Why do banks charge you for ‘insufficient funds’ when you don\u2019t have enough money on your account to pay it?<\/h3>\n

Although there is an actual answer to this question. This points more to the morality question at banks. <\/p>\n

9. How does The TikTok algorithm work?<\/h3>\n

We have our theories and estimated guesses. But nobody actually knows. <\/p>\n

10. Are you free if you think you’re free?<\/h3>\n

Winston Smith certainly doesn’t think so. <\/p>\n

11. When do many grains of sand become a pile of sand?<\/h3>\n

This is otherwise known as Sorites paradox. <\/p>\n

<\/span>12. Why do we wait until night to ‘call it a day?’<\/h3>\n

13. If you love someone, do you let them go so they will be happy? Or do you try to hold on and win their love?<\/h3>\n

Neither of these options are ideal but is one better than the other?<\/p>\n

14. Why do you think you are not a computer simulation?<\/h3>\n

This is harder to explain than you’d think.<\/p>\n

15. What happens when you’re dead?<\/h3>\n

Arguably, the first existential question you asked. <\/p>\n

16. If every moral decision we make can only be the result of either genetic bias, or environmental influence, how can we be held accountable for our wrongdoings?<\/h3>\n

The longest debate in human psychology: nature versus nurture. <\/p>\n

17. If most other species on Earth aren’t monogamous, why are humans expected to be?<\/h3>\n
