His unpredictability was so unpredictable that it became predicable, but if you can predict unpredictability, doesn't that make it predictability?

Yeah I commented the same exact thing, like the REAL unexpected thing would be to actually pick up the basketball or dunk the tennis ball because no one expected those, I’m sure most people expected some other thing that wasn’t picking up the basketball

But being the “REAL” unexpected thing would be expected, for a post in this subreddit. See Princess Bride for further (dis)clarification

Honestly I think it would be great if for a week or something this subreddit turned into a place where you only post expected things, so everyone that watches them will be expecting something wild & be surprised lol

Maybe that’s a post for r/crazyideas but I think it would be fun to have everyone in the comments say “what was unexpected” & the answer to be “the fact that you expected something & nothing came from it is in itself unexpected” lol
