Forest Gump thought "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get" because he was illiterate and couldn't read the little card. (lemmy.ca)

Dude, there are thousands of people on this application every day. Someone is going to be thinking of something relevant to what's going on in the world at all times. Not everyone is thinking that all the time, but odds are someone is. Just like it's almost certain you won't win the lottery, but it's almost certain someone will. Lots of events happening all the time means even unlikely things are likely to happen.

Also, this was pretty funny. Comedy almost always has a political element to it. If you Rent saying anything meaningful or impactful, why say it at all, right?
