Do impossible thoughts exist or are they only imagined to exist such that we imagine the existence of an impossible thought and think we are thinking about it when we are in point of fact not thinking about it at all?
Does a pink unicorn pooping marshmallows in the woods make a sounds anyone gives a fuck about?

Ooh, ooh!! I know this one! In what's-her-fucking-name, ex-Alaskan politician who ran for president but dropped out, her book, she spoke of wondering, as a kid, why people didn't just flap their arms really hard and fly around, and that was supposed to be profound instead of an embarrassing story meant to endear her to her readers. Either the flying or the attempt at depth, take your pick, BOTH are impossible thoughts.

Define "exist".
What's an impossible thought, can you provide an example please?
Yeah, the OP is full of undefined terms.
If I had the ability to think impossible thoughts, would a brain that is limited by possibility have the ability to process the discussion of my impossible thought to the point where it could even recognize the impossibility of the thought being discussed?
It is a logical impossibility

Please define the bolded.
You mean, could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot even HE couldn't eat it?
Plot twist: OP is the screenwriter for the next Mission: Impossible movie and needs (impossible) ideas.

By defining impossible, would I not be limiting impossibility to that which is merely possible to those without the ability to process impossible thoughts?
If the terms are undefined, the question is meaningless.
Ugh, sophists.

We also just have fun by defining impossible as Nothingness.

Define "exist".
Exist - Having the boundary condition of non-existence

This level of nonsense is rage-inducing, unless you are not a native english speaker.

Try again, without having to use the term to describe itself.

Didn't they tell you in middle school that you don't use a word to define itself? Think about it for a minute...

Asking the hard questions here. This is the kind of grueling inquisition that the press could only dream of.

Mr President, have you considered even if only somewhat?
How does the President intend to overcome Zeno's Paradox to make credible the threat of use of our nuclear missile systems?
"Mr. President, if a fake news site runs an article claiming a story to be fake news, does that constitute a double negative and therefore asserts the truthfulness of that news story?"
Mr. President,
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Does the president have the grasp of infinitesimals handy?
He has the best infinitesimals. And they're YUGE.
Ballistic accuracy finally on par with actionable moment-by-moment news-sourced coverage.
