The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This is a psychological evaluation test. Please choose the answer you deem most likely to explain the event.
Question 1
A group of people scheduled to go to the same event all decide not to go, why?
A. The event is cancelled
B. The group rescheduled
C. They all, individually, have super powers
D. They all, individually, have superpowers and predicted a disaster would happen. However, their future vision is predicated on the fact that they'll all be on the plane. Them all choosing not to go will have significantly altered the outcome of a potential future event.
In short; you're probably safe.
Technically, their inability to predict a crash doesn’t prevent a crash – you might die all the same (it’s particularly grim that, according to the meme, even their supposed clairvoyance wouldn’t prevent a crash because they presumably would just quietly avoid going).
Imagine being the person who has that ability, it always comes true and letting your friends know, and the ones who believe you don't go on it, but the person at Delta Airlines doesn't believe you, so they won't tell the pilot to not go. Gotta transport all that cargo...
Final Destination?
A and B sound about the same likelihood to me, I might get this wrong.
Idk probably A.
If rescheduling, it would have to be extremely last minute if the airline did not have time to rebook seats. That would be disruptive to everyone and basically just means second event at the same cost as the first which sort of unravels the benefit of rescheduling.
Also. If they are all psychic, why would they book flights then cancel them? 🤔
E. One of them has the super power, and contacted the others who all know that the superpower is real and/or pretend to also have the power so claim they also saw the same thing
F. Same as E but that one person is lying too
There might also just be one ot two with that super power among them, but if the rest knows how accurate their power is (or at least believes as much), them sending a message around "I woke up from a vivid dream about being on a crashing plane today, I'm staying tf home" might be enough to make everyone else cancel.
