suicide 25

When something is guaranteed to fail, but someone does it anyway out of Desperation, Hope, or desire for "Divine Intervention" of some kind.

Not to be confused with pure ignorance or testing Natural Selection. A "Suicide 25" only occurs when someone fully understands what they're doing is impossible, but does it anyway in hope of a different outcome.

Started from a /b/ post on 4Chan talking about games that could be played with 4 Dice. In which a user made a dark humor post about "Their Father" rolling 4 dice, if they got less than 25 they would commit suicide. Hoping that god would give them a sign to keep going. This is where "Suicide 25" comes from. As with 4 Six-sided Dice its impossible to roll a 25 or higher.

Guy 1: "Hey man is Jacob really going to ask out that hot chick in our math class?
Guy 2: "Yup... It ain't gonna happen. Shes so far out of his league"
Guy 1: "Sounds like a straight up Suicide 25 to me"
Guy 2: "You ain't wrong"
