The odds of you being born were nearly 1 in 400 Trillion. The fact the you exist is virtually impossible.

shiky66 · 2021-03-31T03:22:39+00:00

Daaaaamn right. It could always be worse. Some people can’t even read or write. Thanks for the reminder

Username_merp · 2021-03-31T04:44:29+00:00

I DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN!

...

haha I'm just kidding life is pretty dope and I'm happy to be here

ImmediateLetterhead9 · 2021-03-31T03:15:35+00:00

And just be grateful that you are alive and didn't die in a horrible car crush. That's amazing, isn't it?

You don't know how much you love it until it's gone.

By the way you can use that principle in Game as well.

Actually Game and life is not that separate, we are all humans after all.

flipster007 · 2021-03-31T04:40:00+00:00

You are right. But you do notice there's people born looking identical or similar? Kinda makes you wonder just like in that episode on sopranos whether maybe there's someone exactly like you somewhere in this world.

EthanWaberx · 2021-03-31T05:12:29+00:00

Great ,so not only do I not want it. it wasn't even supposed to happen.

Cyberfaust11 · 2021-03-31T04:47:01+00:00

This is why I don't want to risk ending my life via some crazy bitch that wants to ruin it. (And that's the mission of most if not all).

Psynaut · 2021-03-31T05:54:09+00:00

And the odds of being born with the ability to make up bull-shit statistics and post them on the internet are even greater than that.

2021-03-31T06:36:28+00:00

I don’t have a mind that functions. Just misery. Chronic health problems.

I hope those that can find the light will be guided by it.

Mighty_ShoePrint · 2021-03-31T08:07:47+00:00

How does one come to this statistical conclusion? How do you measure the odds of nonexistence/exsistence

Nyxto · 2021-03-31T05:48:28+00:00

*breathe

Gotchu fam

FlanneryODostoevsky · 2021-03-31T05:10:02+00:00

Lol @ this teenage existential breakthrough ass shit

alexplex86 · 2021-03-31T06:53:20+00:00

Yeah, but those 399 trillion times I wasn't born I didn't notice because I was unconscious and time didn't exist. So fast forward to the one time I actually was born I did notice it so that's when I reflect upon it.

MisterShogunate · 2021-03-31T06:30:59+00:00

I mean its somewhat special, but if you don’t remember what it is before being born, it won’t matter once you are dead either.

Just enjoy your life and don’t do stupid shit.

AXxi0S · 2021-03-31T16:12:28+00:00

All OP said was “there’s nothing you can’t do” and some people read that and their first instinct was to fucking argue.

Talkinguitar · 2021-03-31T12:11:34+00:00

This is so r/thanksimcured

I've got an illness which doesn't hinder my ability to eat, breathe or walk. That is a problem I will never recover from. And mine is just an example, there are plenty of unmanageable issues in a person's life

NummyBuns · 2021-03-31T08:14:06+00:00

How the fuck do you know the odds of me being born? That is something arrogant fucking horseshit right there.

AmateurDemographer · 2021-03-31T05:29:41+00:00

As someone who uses a wheelchair sometimes, Idk how to feel about this post. I will say that I’m not deformed.

themanbat · 2021-03-31T05:37:06+00:00

Never tell me the odds!

ttvsuffer · 2021-03-31T09:49:35+00:00

end it, end it all

Ok_Adhesiveness7336 · 2021-03-31T06:19:22+00:00

So that's why there are 7 billion people on this planet. Oh I get it. So exciting.

Boethiah18 · 2021-03-31T05:45:56+00:00

And that my friends is why we live in a multiverse.

2021-03-31T09:10:32+00:00

If it's virtually impossible, then it must be finitely improbable. So all we have to do is work out how exactly improbable it is, feed that figure into the finite improbability generator, give it a fresh cup of really hot tea... and turn it on!

... Wait, wrong book.

Hoffmaster21 · 2021-03-31T11:17:45+00:00

Source. 1 and 400 trillion and having so many people in the world seem ok is crazy odds.

bethann922 · 2021-03-31T15:22:28+00:00

The people who are posting the "polarizing" comments clearly do NOT understand 1. math or 2. are part of the mind-damaged you define.

Railionn · 2021-03-31T18:32:16+00:00

Thanks man. I sometimes need posts like this to make me be grateful for what I have. I need to exercise more, and stop smoking as well

dixiechick86 · 2021-03-31T21:54:15+00:00

I’m assuming here that no one believes God made them? And for a reason?

misser_eric · 2021-03-31T22:49:49+00:00

Love this post man, thanks!!!

burncushlikewood · 2021-03-31T05:12:25+00:00

Kinda of an interesting thought not existing, I myself am an atheist so I don't believe in the afterlife Carpe diem my friends, life is too short to not be productive. Read books, write and socialize with your friends, approach women and focus on your career and exercise and play sports. Always focus on getting better in every aspect of life, fuck bitches get money homies!

Chronfidence · 2021-03-31T05:27:46+00:00

Yep all those odds wasted on too many pieces of shit out in the world

Aliebaba99 · 2021-03-31T12:39:01+00:00

But you already exist. So the odds of you existing given that you do are 1. P(A|A) = 1.

NipunWasTaken · 2021-03-31T06:39:17+00:00

So my parents had to have sex 800 Trillion times to have me and my sister? Cool.

BoiledCabbage16 · 2021-03-31T08:37:53+00:00

Source?

sabsoliv · 2021-03-31T11:22:14+00:00

That's such an amazing way to look at life

elephantonella · 2021-03-31T06:03:55+00:00

Only thing better is not being born. Remember how wonderful that was?

KlausBing · 2021-03-31T06:22:47+00:00

Even though I knew this already, reading it gave me positivity. I thank you for it.

Disturbed_Aidan · 2021-03-31T09:56:55+00:00

The odds seem 1 to 1 from here.

AdequatelyChilled · 2021-03-31T07:04:02+00:00

Great concept! What's the idea behind the odds though? Where does the number come from?

private256 · 2021-03-31T10:13:24+00:00

Thanks OP.

amadou17 · 2021-03-31T05:35:05+00:00

Oh damn I really needed that post today thanks a lot for the reminder 🔥

hotshot117 · 2021-03-31T07:06:52+00:00

Exactly

Right at this moment a billlions of potential future individuals will never see the daylight because you aren't having intercourse at this very moment.

If our parents decided to just delay your creation by mere minutes. Another seed would have won the race and you would never have been born.

Make most of your lives everyone and be grateful

I sure as hell am grateful for it

geychan · 2021-03-31T08:43:28+00:00

Well, mathematically speaking it's VIRTUAL POSSIBLE since the probability is greater 0. Anw, glad to be here. Cheers, brothers and sisters.

ArmitageShanks69 · 2021-03-31T09:46:08+00:00

What's your point?

BabyChaos99 · 2021-03-31T09:46:56+00:00

I love this wtf. Thanks!

2021-03-31T13:56:08+00:00

Okay Dr. Manhattan

Real_Pizza · 2021-03-31T04:29:00+00:00

Free will doesn't exist.

youKnowImRightBitch · 2021-03-31T07:49:33+00:00

First fucking post that is not an over puked idea. Some creeps here...

monked80 · 2021-03-31T10:46:48+00:00

I would have preferred to not be born. I wish more people considered how to would be person felt, but they just "want a baby" or "feel obligated to do so" and that's fucked up imo.

AltNationpunk · 2021-03-31T09:26:44+00:00

There’s no getting worse for a paranoid schizophrenic who just got divorced after 20 years and is now homeless fighting addiction...so I’m not even thankful to be alive. Schizophrenic episodes are becoming a few times a week event where I used to get a shot every 28 days and have maybe two episodes a year for the last 7 years. Today I stand alone and broken wishing so was never born

No-Maintenance5906 · 2021-03-31T18:06:07+00:00

The odds of anything existing is virtually impossible so what

DyingMisfit · 2021-03-31T18:57:01+00:00

The linked post is fine, but this post is exactly why 'antinatalism' needs to spread far and wide.

MauPow · 2021-03-31T20:14:04+00:00

The odds of me being born and thinking about it are 100%. If they weren't, I wouldn't be around to think about it.

GitGud_Pirates_Inc · 2021-03-31T06:39:07+00:00

No problem... you're probably right, and I need to think that way too because it's the truth.

Be positive and believe and try to talk to people. I'm hoping the books im planning to get and read will help make me get rid of all these stupid beliefs I have about friendships and talking with people and initiating conversations. What you do after that, is what I know is wrong but I don't know what to do because I have done it one time in 3 years and before that probably another 1 time in 4 years.

Thank you for this, switching meds has been rough but was needed, for once I'm interested in wanting to make friends, but I am not ready to deal with the constant rejection basically drilled into me by my mom with doing anything or really yeah anything.

I can do, I believe in me, and hopefully I'll figure out how you're supposed to get a person's information to like text them or something. I swear it wasn't this bad before I switched off adhd meds that took away all emotions and most need to think. Now I'm like everyone else it seems... I get tired, I feel emotional so I need to get that under control myself without my meds doing it. and apparently I need to have friends, I do not get why, but my brain loves to make a big deal out of it and try to make me feel like trash. Keep up the motivational shit, it helps.

2021-03-31T09:55:57+00:00

These kind of perspective are nice, but try to block out our mind thinking about our place in society.

Thesauruswrex · 2021-03-31T12:07:58+00:00

Doesn't matter what the odds are if the universe is infinite in the right way.

It's just as possible we exist because our universe has all the correct variables for human life to evolve naturally because this universe has to exist in an infinite amount of universes.

We really don't have to be grateful but we can be if that makes you happy. We're very complex organisms figuring out ourselves and the universe. That's all and that's fine.

1LadyLuster · 2021-03-31T12:11:45+00:00

Existence is TAXED...one way or another...The more things change, the more they stay the same..... Let’s be glad that women love to sniff around for testosterone!

BCK973 · 2021-03-31T13:47:37+00:00

r/outside

rawbface · 2021-03-31T14:32:03+00:00

“You” is an equivocal term.

The probability that one could guess exactly when where and how YOU were born is virtually impossible.

The fact that YOU were born is 100%.

DJGammaRabbit · 2021-03-31T15:05:10+00:00

“If you can eat, breath...” I think you have severely understated the body here. There’s some things that will never heal so this couldn’t be further from the truth. You’ve discredited all major health problems with “the mind.” 😕

FaithInStrangers94 · 2021-03-31T17:54:03+00:00

Could you not also argue that the chances of us being born as we were was 100% ?

And I agree some perspective is healthy but we shouldn’t trivialise our problems either

grekt99 · 2021-03-31T18:12:24+00:00

That’s like saying the sand particle that gets picked on the beach is the luckiest and should be cherished.

gathee · 2021-03-31T19:02:12+00:00

But I had no choice in the matter.

Crosismitosis · 2021-03-31T19:32:55+00:00

You live every single day. What are going to do with it?

calgarytouvic · 2021-03-31T20:23:55+00:00

Read the book “Think Like a Monk” and thank me later

tristian_lay · 2021-03-31T20:42:46+00:00

With those statistics, that means none of this is by accident, the soul is real, and there is a God. The end.

ArmitageShanks69 · 2021-04-02T03:29:14+00:00

Oh whoop-de-do, I'm a fucking miracle and my family name dies with me.

LeeJackman · 2021-04-02T21:41:02+00:00

It's mad to think your existance is so random and lucky.

Better make the most of it :)

False-Clerk-5073 · 2021-04-18T14:46:33+00:00

And here we are... crying over not getting cunts and wanking ourselves to death. Life isn't all that bad after all.

2021-04-29T01:50:34+00:00

This appeared in my notifications at a time I actually needed it. So thanks for that

MemeStocksYolo69-420 · 2021-04-29T04:57:12+00:00

How did I get so unlucky? Lol
