what are the odds, i watched that episode only a few days ago

[–] Grumpy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Improbability principle states that the odds are fairly high. Highly unlikely events happen all the time, and as a sum of all the events it becomes a high chance. Among the masses, someone probably watched that episode and someone is going to post about that episode. Both happening together isn't unlikely but highly probable because there are so many individual probabilities combining together due to many actors.
