The odds of there being a working guillotine in France are low, but never zero.

I’d say the odds have significantly increased over the last week.

Was just about to make this comment. And those odds are getting higher every day.

French people, I’m sorry I called your language a trash language. Please don’t guillotine me.

The odds of that happening right now are 0, maybe not in 1 second, but right now it's definitely 0.

A random quantum tunnel could open, transporting a guillotine and said operator into your room , it’s just the odds of that happening in the entire age of the universe is infitesimally small, but given an infinite time, it will happen eventually!

The odds of being guillotined by a platypus in the international space station are also low but never zero.

No, I am pretty sure a guillotine needs gravity to work...

Not necessarily. Just sufficient force to accelerate the blade. Gravity is just the easiest to harness in a typical guillotine.

Look up at artificial gravity by using centripetal or centrifuge, always mixing those 2 terms in English) force

However your chances of being unalive by firing squad are high in Idaho today. Welcome to 1824?

The odds that I leave you an upper decker tonight are low, but not zero

I honestly believe that your odds are ~1/100,000 if you are Parisian French, ~1/1,000,000,000 if you are non-Parisian French, and flip a coin if you're American in France.

To be guilllotined, one must have a neck, so if you decapitate yourself, cut what remains of your neck off of your head and torso and incinerate it, you can't get guillotined.

Shit, I’m traveling there soon, my odds will definitely be higher at that point than ever before!

Now, this! Finally, a good shower thought. Not just some average observation, not just a statement of basic and blatantly obvious fact. Not grounded in an unscientific understanding of scientific things. A real, honest, down to Earth shower thought!

Amazing!

Yes, and the chances of me having sex with a girl is very zero and never a chance because I am gay.

Incorrect. The chance i will be guillotined by a Fench mob is 0, although it is technically possible, just not going to happen

By a mob maybe, but not specifically a French mob.
