Nearly impossible feats of achievement, those with great degree of difficulty or incredible odds.

Never tell me the odds?

RULES

  1. Submissions must be nearly impossible feats of achievement, those requiring incredible odds and/or a great degree of difficulty. Posts based entirely around skill and/or persistence, including deliberate tricks and stunts, are not allowed.

  2. Do not mention odds or probabilities anywhere, in the post title or comments.

  3. Do not repost content that's been posted here within the past 3 months. Moderators maintain discretion and final approval on all submissions

  4. Easy-to-fake posts are prohibited (including AI/CGI) - no r/untrustworthypoptarts

  5. NO SCREENSHOTS

  6. Direct image and gif submissions only (no cross-posts). Content must be hosted by imgur, gfycat or reddit. YouTube submissions are not allowed.

  7. No hate speech of any kind. No witch-hunts, brigading or harassment

  8. Be nice. Follow the site rules and reddiquette.

  9. Please mark your posts as NSFW when appropriate.

  10. Digital juxtaposition posts that are not incredibly rare or odds defying will be removed. Try /r/Juxtaposition for those types of posts. If your post is something like "these posts lined up in my feed" you will be given a 2 week ban.

LIST OF COMMON POSTS THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THIS SUB

This list may be modified in the future

  • 1: Receipts or anything related to monetary balances.

Gas prices, change amounts, receipt balances, money left in bank account, etc.

  • 2: Four Leaf clovers (or greater)

We've seen multiple posts of 4, 5, 6, and 7 leaf clovers. They are not as rare as they sound, and many people even have collections of them.

  • 3: Fortune Cookie fortunes

This includes posts such as: Identical fortunes, multiple fortunes in one cookie, and other related posts. These also fall under Rule 4

  • 4: Car mileage and other related gauges

At some point, it's just more impressive that some cars even make it to 123,456 miles, but not odds defying.

This also includes licence plates which have consecutive numbers. Despite this seemingly being rare, we get several of these posts a month.

  • 5: Hitting a dart with another dart

It's relatively easy with good aim and practice. Also, these posts are almost always pictures, which would fall under Rule 4.

  • 6: Eggs with multiple yolks

These also fall under Rule 4.

  • 7: /r/BreathingInformation style posts

  • 8: Images of things that are shaped like other things

  • 9: Defective products, including packages of candy or snacks that are all one color

  • 10: People wearing similar clothing, or wearing clothing with a pattern that matches some other pattern (such as the pattern on a bus seat)

Capturing Shooting Star while Aurora borralis

Yesterday the aurora was visible with plain eyes in Germany. My boyfriend said that he saw a shooting star in the exact moment I took a photo. I was very surprised when I noticed that I got it on camera as well.

I started reading this book on the exact day that the book starts

Yesterday a friend loaned me Octavia Butler's "Parable of the Sower" after we had a conversation about apocalyptic times earlier this week. Today I opened it to start reading, only to find that today is the exact day in history that the story starts in the book.

Yesterday I bought each of my two daughters a stuffed animal at the airport. Today a neighbour gave us a small bag of toys which contained the same stuffed animal but different colours.

Quad Kings beaten by a Royal Flush 10 minutes before a 100k Bad Beat Jackpot would take effect

Unfortunately pocket Kings are not in frame. For those that don't know what a Bad Beat Jackpot is, it's a bonus that gets paid out when a very high hand (quad 10s or better at this casino) is beaten by another hand. If this happened 10 minutes later 100k would have been split 60/30/10 between the loser, winner, and everyone else in the room
