Weird Thoughts people have

Random Thoughts

The human mind is a strange place, full of deep thoughts, absurd questions, and completely random ideas that pop up at the most unexpected times. Sometimes, these thoughts make us laugh; other times, they make us question reality itself. Here are some of the weirdest thoughts people have—thoughts you might have had yourself but never said out loud.

1. What if we are just characters in someone’s dream?

What if everything you experience is just part of an elaborate dream someone else is having? Maybe when they wake up, you and your entire world will vanish like smoke. If that’s the case, should you be trying to make the dream more interesting so you don’t get erased?

2. Why do we call it a building if it’s already built?

Why is it called a building when it’s already done? Shouldn’t it be called a built? Similarly, why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways? The English language is a cruel trickster.

3. What if mirrors are portals, but we don’t know how to use them?

What if your reflection is a version of you from another universe, but you just don’t know how to cross over? Maybe the other you is stuck in there, silently screaming every time you walk away.

4. Does a straw have one hole or two?

Think about it. A straw is just a hollow tube. If you consider a hole to be an opening, it has two. But if a hole is a continuous tunnel, then it has only one. Your brain hurts now, doesn’t it?

5. What if the colour I see as blue isn’t the same blue you see?

Maybe my blue is your green, but we’ve both been calling it "blue" our whole lives. How would we ever know? Maybe everyone’s reality is slightly different, and we’ll never be able to confirm it.

6. If our stomachs digest food, why don’t they digest themselves?

Your stomach is filled with acid strong enough to break down meat, but somehow, it doesn’t digest itself. What kind of wizardry is that?

7. What if aliens are watching us like a reality show?

Maybe Earth is just one big intergalactic reality TV show, and aliens are tuning in to watch the drama unfold. “Let’s see what stupid thing humans do next,” they say, munching on their cosmic popcorn.

8. What if my dog has a secret life when I’m not home?

Maybe your dog isn’t just lying around waiting for you. Maybe it’s having secret adventures, running an underground pet economy, or even holding important political meetings with other neighbourhood dogs.

9. If you clean a vacuum cleaner, aren’t you the vacuum cleaner?

You are cleaning the thing that cleans. For that moment, you become one with the vacuum. You are the vacuum.

10. What if water is conscious, but we never figured out how to communicate with it?

What if water is alive in some way we don’t understand? It covers most of the planet, flows through every living being, and has existed for billions of years. Maybe it has stories to tell, but we just can’t hear them.

11. Have I ever unknowingly seen a dead person’s last selfie?

We scroll through so many pictures online every day. What are the chances that at some point, you’ve seen someone’s last-ever photo before they died? That’s unsettling.

12. If humans evolved from monkeys, why do monkeys still exist?

This classic thought is actually a misunderstanding of evolution, but it still makes people pause. The truth is, we didn’t evolve from modern monkeys—we just share a common ancestor. But still, it’s one of those questions that messes with your head.

13. Do we really need eyebrows, or are they just nature’s built-in sweatbands?

Would we look weird without them? Probably. But what do they actually do besides catching a little sweat? Maybe eyebrows are just nature’s way of making sure we don’t look like aliens.

14. Why do we wake up right before we die in dreams?

Your brain lets you experience the wildest, most bizarre scenarios in dreams, but the second you’re about to die, it yanks you awake. Why does it do that? What is it trying to hide?

15. What if I have a twin somewhere in the world that I’ll never meet?

They say everyone has a doppelgänger, but what if you have a perfect twin somewhere—someone with the same voice, habits, and interests as you? What are the odds that you’ll ever meet?

16. Are we all just living in a giant simulation?

What if everything around us is just an advanced computer program? Maybe we’re NPCs (non-playable characters) in someone else’s game, and every weird glitch we experience is just a bug in the system.

17. Who decided that we only use 24 hours in a day?

Time is just something humans invented to organize their lives. But what if we had chosen 30 hours instead? Would we sleep longer? Would we have more time for fun? Who made the decision, and why are we all just going along with it?

18. If a tomato is a fruit, does that make ketchup a smoothie?

It’s blended fruit, isn’t it? That makes it a smoothie. And suddenly, you can’t unthink it.

19. If ghosts can walk through walls, why don’t they fall through the floor?

If ghosts are intangible and can pass through solid objects, why do they always walk on floors instead of falling straight through the Earth? Do they choose when to be solid?

20. Why do we all instinctively know how to swim, but not how to breathe underwater?

Even if you’ve never taken swimming lessons, you can still splash around and keep yourself afloat. But breathing underwater? Forget it. Why didn’t evolution take care of that?

Final Thought

The human brain is full of weird, funny, and sometimes unsettling thoughts. Some of them make sense when you think about them more deeply—others just leave you scratching your head. Maybe the real question is: why do we even have these thoughts in the first place?
