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)

Niece thrifted the outfit on the left for her son simply because she thought it was cute. We were looking through old photos last night and noticed a 30 year old picture of his mom wearing the same outfit when she was his same age.

Lost my wedding weeks ago but only realized it recently so no idea where to look

Taking food scraps out to Composter and wanted to move the ice covered wheel barrel I looked down and saw the ring frozen among the frozen leaves and dirt. I had thought I lost it in the house, I was so wrong.

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.
