Although life is already full of unanswerable questions, like what to watch tonight or what you would like to eat, they are not entertaining in the very least. So, we got this idea to harness these tough questions, dig around a bit more, and find rhetorical questions that are actually entertaining, good conversation starters, and nice topics for deep pondering. Et Voila – our selection of funny unanswerable questions for you to enjoy!
Another awesome thing about these questions with no answers is that they will require you to actually slow down, take a breather, and think about them (instead of thinking about which TV series to choose or why your cat is staring at the ceiling). And these days, everything that allows you to slow down is well appreciated! Also, these inquiries touch various subjects – from material things to travels – so we’re pretty certain you’ll find ones that you’d like to ponder for a while on. Yet, if you’re a fan of unanswerable philosophical questions, your curiosity will also be satisfied in this list. So, as far as questions that are unanswerable go, this is probably where all of them come to in the end.
Right, so our selection of questions with no answers is just a smidgen down below; you should absolutely check them out. Who knows, picking such a question might even become a nice evening tradition. But before it does, the best questions will have to find their way to the top of this list, and you can help them by giving them your vote!
