A fallacy in which a conclusion does not follow logically from what preceded it. And these are taken from the more serious aspect of its uses..

More examples..
In everyday speech, a non sequitur is a statement in which the final part is totally unrelated to the first part, for example:
Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.—West with the Night, Beryl Markham[2]
It can also refer to a response that is totally unrelated to the original statement or question:
Mary: I wonder how Mrs. Knowles next door is doing.
Jim: Did you hear that the convenience store two blocks over got robbed last night? Thieves got away with a small fortune.[3]
A common non sequitur response:
Mary: I don't like the video you've posted.
Jim: Don't watch it then!
