The Hardest Thing In The World

02 Nov 2024 | ~2 minute read

There are many things in the world that are difficult, but what is the hardest thing in the world?

I hear it all the time "that's impossible!" or "there's absolutely no way anyone would EVER be able to do that!" I mean, to be fair, comments like that usually come from my kids, but you get what I mean.

So what actually is the hardest thing in the world? What is the most difficult of humankind's endeavours to accomplish?

Rocket science?

Maybe it's rocket science? That's pretty bloody hard, right? Not many people can do that. Like, sending people to the moon, or building a craft that lasts nearly 50 years and has travelled over 15 billion miles. That's pretty bloody impressive.

But is it the hardest of things? Is it the hardest thing in the world?

I'm not sure.

Solving global warming?

Oof, now this is a difficult one. Let's be honest, we're fucking up the planet and fixing it is no walk in the park.

...and that's only going to become a more difficult problem to solve if a certain orange man with very small hands gets into the Oval Office next week.

But still, is solving global warming the hardest things in the world? Nah, I don't think so.

Proving the earth is a sphere?

If you speak to flat earthers, proving the earth is a sphere is impossible. So yeah, this could well be the hardest thing in the world, folks.

Buuuuut no, there's lots of empirical evidence that the earth is, in fact, a sphere. So no, proving the earth is a sphere is most definitely not the hardest thing in the world.

Mike Tyson?

Ok, we may have a winner here, folks. Mike Tyson is a double-hard bastard.

This guy won 26 of his first 28 fights by knock out. 16 of those were in the first round!

Mike Tyson is hard as nails, there's no doubting that. But the hardest thing in the world? I still don't think so.

So what is the hardest thing in the world?

Well, dear reader. After lots of contemplation, reflection, and research, I'm happy to share that I've discovered what the hardest thing in the world is.

Are you ready?

The hardest thing in the world is getting out of bed for a piss when you only just warmed your feet up.

That, my friends. THAT, is the hardest thing in the world.

Fin. 💩
