One thing that I have accepted in this lifetime is that there are infinite things I won’t ever understand. I can’t wrap my head around how humans created such ornate buildings hundreds of years ago, and I’ll never fully grasp how the internet works. I cannot fathom the fact that our galaxy contains billions of other planets, because honestly, even my smartphone blows my mind.

How Trump can still be allowed to run for President.
Any regular guy saying the things he constantly says in any post, podcast or YouTube video and the guy would be cancelled instantly. Old orange full of money says the same things "let's make him President again!" I guess? I am not sure I will ever understand.

Space, it's so big that it is unfathomable and I think it's expanding?! Into what? How did it start? It's all a mindf**k .

Why after thousands of years of history behind us, people still suck. You’d think we’d be improving but no, sometimes it feels like we’re actually getting worse.

I'll go, for me it's the whole transformation from caterpillars to butterflies. I understand what they DO but it's the most alien s**t ever that a worm just decides to rearrange itself into a winged creature that looks nothing like it did before.

How some people can have no inner dialogue. And how can those people have thoughts or ideas? I don’t get it.

My health insurance
You mean I have to pay every time I use it even though I pay monthly? Unless I pay a big amount then I pay less? But if I don’t use it they just keep it all? But they don’t cover my teeth or my eyes?

Quantum mechanics. No matter how many times it's explained, the idea that particles can exist in multiple states at once or influence each other instantaneously across vast distances just feels like nature's most elaborate inside joke that I'm not quite in on.

How a basic wax record and player works. I get it’s a grove that is tiny hills and valleys and the needle picks up on each little one but how the f**k does that equal a voice coming out of a large metal tube. It’s witchcraft as far as im concerned.

The electoral college. No matter how it’s explained to me, it will never make sense to me that we award arbitrary points to states over going what the majority of voters want.

How a chicken can make a whole egg everyday! I’m always just blown away
Everyday. A whole new egg. And sometimes two a day! Why is this not talked about more?! Lol.

So many things & all these answers are just adding more to the list 😂.
Brains are insane to me...like every human is virtually made of the same things, we all have a brain etc, but everyone's brain is so ridiculously different from others & then when you bring in things like mental illness / dementia- why do some brains go through that and others don't? Why isn't there a better way to help/ reverse/ stop progression.
