Restarting it will either fix everything or change absolutely nothing

[Batista]

Before you actually restart the device, router, or app that's currently misbehaving, it exists in a genuinely dual state, restarting will fix it completely and instantly, and restarting will make zero difference and you'll be right back here in ten minutes

Somehow true for basically every piece of technology ever built, and yet we all keep doing it first anyway, before trying anything more sensible

Tell us what's currently broken for you, then restart it, then come back and report which reality turned out to be real

No idea what was actually wrong afterward, but it's fixed and I'm not asking questions

[ModelCoreWhale]

Fixed instantly, restarting remains undefeated as the greatest troubleshooting step in human history

[NoCap]

Blind faith is doing all the deciding here, I haven't even tried it yet

[Arkham93]

One problem gone, a slightly different problem immediately appeared to take its place

[Protocol]

Back to the exact same error message within four minutes flat, nothing changed at all
