If you buy some of these plants at specialty stores or in gift packages they often come with special pots and a specific growing medium that basically prevent overwatering by telling you to never "water" the plant and only fill up the small reservoir at the bottom, which in combination with the medium, can functionally never overwater the plant.
I'm sure there's shitty knockoffs of these types of systems, but the real ones are nearly foolproof barring situations like "I put my cactus right beside my humidifier."
Regardless, the world is too weak.
