contingent

Our camping trip was definitely contingent on the weather. If it rained, we'd have to cancel. But if the sun shone, we could go. Everything depended on what the sky decided.

Getting the rare bioluminescent moss for the experiment was entirely contingent on the moon cycle. We needed the darkest night, a specific humidity, and no wind. If any of that changed, our whole trip would be for nothing, and months of work would go to waste.

The success of our mission was contingent on the precise alignment of the ancient star-charts. If even one celestial body shifted, the whole plan would crumble, leaving us stranded on the desolate moon. We waited, breath held, for the faint shimmer of confirmation.

My plan to eat a whole pizza was contingent on the pizza delivery guy not tripping on my cat, who *loves* belly rubs right at the door. If Mittens got his way, my cheesy dreams might just float away like a rogue balloon.

My pet rock's happiness is entirely contingent on me remembering to give it tiny, pebble-sized hats. If I forget a hat, it gets all grumpy and refuses to glow. This whole glowing rock thing is truly contingent on a meticulous millinery schedule for a mineral.

My promotion was contingent on the company's financial performance. Everyone knew the raises were coming, but we held our breath, hoping sales would pick up. The uncertainty was stressful, but we had to wait and see what happened.

The success of our rare spore cultivation was entirely contingent on a precise atmospheric pressure drop, a fleeting window we might miss if the lab's aging dehumidifier failed again. We watched the barometer, hearts pounding, knowing everything depended on that silent, uncertain shift.

Whether the festival happened was entirely contingent on the migratory patterns of the luminescent moths. Their arrival, a spectacle few had witnessed, was crucial for the bioluminescent displays that lit the desert nights. Without the moths, the entire event would be canceled.

My dating life is entirely contingent on my cat's mood. If Mittens decides she's feeling cuddly, I might actually get a text back. But if she glares at me for too long, forget it; my romantic prospects are as good as a wet sock.

Whether Bartholomew the badger would achieve his dream of competitive synchronized napping was entirely contingent on his roommate, a perpetually snoring sloth, remembering to set his alarm. If the sloth snored through the alarm, the crucial nap-timing signal would be missed, thus ending Bartholomew's Olympic aspirations before they even began.

Their travel plans were still uncertain, contingent on the doctor’s final approval. They’d packed bags, booked hotels, but the whole adventure felt precariously balanced, dependent on that one phone call. The hope was there, but the reality remained fluid, subject to another person's decision.

The success of our salvage operation was entirely contingent on the shifting currents holding steady through the night. Without that precise marine alignment, the submersible couldn't reach the ancient artifact. Failure meant losing everything we'd invested, a risk we still felt keenly as dawn approached.

The final decision was contingent on the rare bloom of the bioluminescent moss. If it didn't glow by dawn, their retrieval mission would be abandoned, leaving the artifact lost forever in the subterranean chasm. A palpable dread settled over the team, the entire endeavor hanging by this fragile, uncertain thread.

My pet goldfish, Bartholomew, has a rather precarious existence. His continued survival is contingent on my remembering to feed him, a task I occasionally overlook when deeply engrossed in contemplating existential dread or the perfect nacho cheese recipe. This precariousness, I admit, adds a certain zesty drama to his otherwise placid watery abode.

The success of Reginald's experimental disco-flamenco fusion performance was entirely contingent upon his prize-winning poodle, Bartholomew, mastering the cha-cha. Bartholomew, however, seemed more interested in chasing laser pointers, making the entire dazzling spectacle a precarious gamble on canine caprice.

Our departure for the expedition was entirely contingent on the weather holding. If the atmospheric perturbations intensified, our planned embarkation would be irrevocably postponed, a decision that filled the team with a palpable sense of dread and resignation.

The success of the deep-sea hydrothermal vent exploration was contingent on the submersible's atmospheric regulators holding. If the external pressure exerted too much strain, the entire expedition would be aborted, a prospect that gnawed at the expedition leader's already strained composure.

The success of the expedition was contingent on the weather holding. If the tempest continued, our precarious ascent would be rendered impossible, leaving our meticulously planned research perpetually unfulfilled, a haunting testament to nature's caprice.

My participation in the intergalactic karaoke competition was contingent on two factors: acquiring a suitable sequined jumpsuit and the galaxy not imploding before the finals. Since the latter seemed an ever-present, albeit improbable, possibility, I focused on the sartorial aspect, which, in retrospect, was a rather precarious gamble.

The success of my experimental fermented durian-infused artisanal cheese was contingent upon the capricious whims of a pack of highly discerning, genetically modified capybaras. Their olfactory predilections, a veritable Rosetta Stone of putridity, would ultimately dictate whether my gastronomic magnum opus ascended to cheesy apotheosis or merely achieved a state of profoundly alarming effluvium.
