British satirical comedy show The Mash Report once did a hilarious skit about why you should never ask a man what he’s thinking. You’ll find the clip a little further down. Basically, in the fake news report a couple’s romantic weekend away was ruined after a guy’s wife wanted to know his innermost thoughts. Needless to say, his reply wasn’t what she wanted to hear. It had nothing to do with her, their holiday, their relationship, or anything of real substance. Instead, he was deep in thought about some random rubbish. And she was not impressed.

While intended to be satirical and funny, the fake news clip held some good, genuine advice: Don’t ask if you don’t want to know. And, the chances are he's thinking about nothing. Or nothing important. People have been sharing their own hilarious replies to the question "what are you thinking?" From the bizarre, to the confusing, to the downright annoying, Bored Panda has gathered the best answers. Keep scrolling for a glimpse into the mindless thoughts of men. And don't forget to upvote your favorites.

While the clip was part of a comedy show, the stories we collected are real and are as amusing and entertaining as the skit

Man thinking while watching sunset over a calm lake, wrapped in a blanket. My wife saw me looking out over the deck at a beautiful sunset and asked what I was thinking and I asked if I was cloned or duplicated would my clones recognize I was in charge or would they try to take over which would backfire my plan of not working to begin with. She walked back in the house.

Had this conversation in my head a few times, and the only plan is to devise a partnership of equals, where the "original" go in knowing that he will wake up a clone (because that's what will happen from their POV), and ideally there will be a way to randomise the results. I need to create identities for all of them/us, as good as if they were for me (because they will be), and I need to clone my wife as well, obviously. Another way would be to have a process in which we share memories in real time, like if we are instances instead of clones, but then my wife might be grossed out by this. As you can see, I have given this a bit of thought, but now that I have a kid, I need to redo all the planning because I don't know how to handle this new variable.

    Thoughts aren’t tangible things like coins or pens or strands of hair. So it’s not that easy to accurately count how many of them we have on any given day. But at least one research paper suggests the human mind receives an estimated 6-8 million thoughts per day, or around 2,500-3,300 thoughts per hour.

    While some of these are important and useful, the vast majority are not. In fact, this Journal of Lifestyle Medicine review notes that "a detailed assessment of these thoughts proposes 90% of the thoughts to be irrelevant". Like some of the random thoughts listed on this page...

    Woman sitting thoughtfully on a couch, surrounded by bookshelves, contemplating what's on a man's mind. My ex-girlfriend would always ask me “a penny for your thoughts”. It got so annoying because many times I really was thinking about nothing. She wanted to hear something romantic and there really was nothing at the moment to share. That doesn’t mean I was never thinking about her romantically. It was just not so at that moment. This is how men think. Women need to understand that.

    Man and woman at dinner table sharing a thoughtful moment, surrounded by wine and plates. married 22 years, I know better… when I ask, it’s because I know the answer will be ridiculous.

    After a romantic dinner that he made to welcome me home…

    Me: Babe, what ya thinking?
    Hub: Not much…
    Me: C’mon..

And then reciprocate by telling him which superpower you would want if you could have any of them. (No fair having the superpower where you pick up the superpowers of every other hero you meet!

    Yes: survival. Nest-building, food-storage, fighting off rivals, and of course an active sex life and raising pups. Not getting eaten by cats or hit by cars on the road is also high on that list...

    A couple happily walking through a scenic autumn path, surrounded by tall trees and fallen leaves. About 20 years ago we talked about getting married. He said he was going to propose at some point so I was waiting.

    After a couple times of wondering when and how it would happen, we were traveling together.

    We ended up at the Arch in St. Louis. We were wandering through the park around sunset and he started glancing around a little nervous. Then he looked at me intently and I thought "oh wow this is it."

    Then he said, "I'll be right back, I gotta [pee] and I can't find an outhouse."

    The Romans did not have fish in the Colosseum. All they put in there for the water battles was water. They did get the rhino right, but the Rhino the Romans used was more likely the Asian (one horned) one than the African one show in the film.

    11 months ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Both "coliseum" and "colosseum" can be correct, but they are used in different contexts: - "Colosseum" (with two "s" letters) refers specifically to the ancient amphitheater in Rome, Italy, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre. - "Coliseum" (with one "s" letter) is a more general term that can refer to any large theater or stadium. So, if you're talking about the famous ancient arena in Rome, "Colosseum" is the right choice. Otherwise, "coliseum" can be used to describe similar structures elsewhere.

He points out that for all of recorded human history, people have been trying to get salt that was white and uniform and finely ground, and were charging high prices for it... And now we have salt that is whiter and more uniform and more finely ground than EVER BEFORE-- and we're suddenly buying salt with impurities in it that make it funny colors, and THOSE are the expensive salts!

She would keep asking me for over a year until I just said alright you want to know what I'm thinking? 'm thinking who would win between the white queen professor in a chess match on the astral plane with the x-men as chess pieces. And she got mad saying that's what you're thinking? I said yeah, now you know why I said nothing all those times. We got into an argument about me not being open with my thoughts and when she said I always tell you what I'm thinking I asked her how many times did I ask you? She never asked me again for the last four ears we were together.

    The other night, whilst lying in bed with my wife, she asked me what I was thinking at that very moment. I told her that I was thinking about what bulls**t I could make up, on the fly, if she were to ask me what I was thinking, at that very moment.

    If I was this man’s wife I would be annoyed by this. But since I’m not, it’s kinda hilarious.

    Back when my parents were dating, Mum asked my father this. His response? 'Pizza.' He thought she meant for dinner. ?

    For me, it’d be random thoughts. Start on one subject, the train rolls over 2 or 3 others, while running through a few hypothetical scenarios. Usually banal stuff, and how the heck do I put that into words to follow the train when it’s nothing of import anyway? It’d take an hour to run through it all verbally, if I even remember it after ten minutes.

    Ergo, “Nothing”

    Years ago I heard a comedian say his wife insisted to know what he was thinking. After warning her and she still insisting she’d feel better if she understood, he said, “I’m thinking I work too much, you spend too much and I still find other women attractive. Feel better now?”

    Well, you need to know if your partner feels that way, otherwise how are you going to sort things out and nurture the relationship (or know it's time to throw in the towel)

    Getting ready to go out to San Francisco for New Year's, my then gf decided to let her 15 yr old daughter do her makeup. After more than an hour, she came out with a face full of unexpected makeup and asked me how she looked. Before I could stop and think I replied 'You look funny.'
    We in fact did not go out that night after all.

    A high chance it's something he doesn't want to share or hasn't quite processed yet. It could be anything imaginable.

    "Dr said the spot on my arm was caught in time, but what if it hadn't? What have I accomplished?"

    "The boss was looking at me kinda strangely, should I be worried about my job? Im too old to start over, no one will hire me."

    "What happened to my little girl, she's always spending time with that BF of hers, we used to love watching TV together, but she always says she's busy. I miss her. But I don't want to annoy her."

    And as a fun bonus, some men want you to ask/ insist on telling you what 'nothing' is. Others don't. We're complicated!

    Sometimes I have that 1,000-yard stare and my wife asks me what I’m thinking about and the answer is that Craig Biggio got hit by 34 pitches in 1997. It’s very disappointing for her.

    At my wedding reception, since I was known to be an excellent trumpet player, I was asked to play a song with the band. So after a number of songs I requested were not in the band’s repertoire, we settled on a beautiful McCartney song “Yesterday”….which was well received by all the guests. Even my wife told me that sounded very nice. Then I had an epiphany and said laughingly, “I think I committed a terrible faux pax just now” and she said “Why would you say that?” And I uttered the lyrics “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks though as tho they’re here to stay. Oh I believe in yesterday. Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be. There’s a shadow hanging over me, Oh yesterday came suddenly.” And then she crossed her arms and grit her teeth together and pounded her foot into the floor. I learned to not share some amusing thoughts with the wife…….

    My mom used to ask my dad questions like this, but eventually gave up when the answers were usually something like “Thinking about my car” or “Wondering why my car leaked oil today”.

    She never minded it, because at least she never had to worry about him thinking about other women or running off with them. He’d just be out in the garage with his car.

    So I was chilling with my bf in the living room, and I saw him staring into absolute nothingness and I was a bit concerned but I didn't quite pay attention.

    Then I saw him do it again a few times over the week and when I asked him whether there was something he was thinking, he told me he was thinking about "nothing"

    I didn't quite understand, how do you think of "nothing"?

    That's right, he is driving and wants to make sure he makes the turn to avoid going out of his way. He won't be thinking about interpersonal relationships. Ever.
