I figured out that there's a clown who crashes his car into a tree because he is drunk, but I don't get the last panel. Why are there suddenly so many bodies?

You're one of the lucky 10000 today

Literally learnt about the lucky 10000 yesterday on here! So that was a 10000 moment for this fella over here as well! :-)

#10000ception ;-)

I'd like it to be the lucky 400 thousand but I guess it's not that snappy

The 10 000 is a reference to the original post, will have to find it. Saw it on here yesterday perhaps. :-)

What group am I in if I am part of two independent lucky 10k events in a single day?

(Odds of being in one)² = (1/10000)² = 1⁄100000000?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

How crazy is this thread is for someone to hear about clown cars AND the lucky 10,000 for the first time.

That number must be smaller

This comment is blank in the @voyagerapp but when opened in a browser, not logged in, it shows a video player with no video to play?

Anybody else experiencing this? :-/

Randall Munroe calculated that there's every day the lucky 10000 (in the US, 400 thousand globally) who learn something for the first time that is very known.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You're one of them today. Jk, I don't think it applies specifically to this, this isn't well known.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I feel like the analogy of a clown car is pretty widespread? And the lucky 10,000 is back of the napkin guestimation, I think it's allowed an order of magnitude on either side, and one should not feel bad for being part of it, you're in for learning and learning is (or should be) fun!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

No, I meant that not knowing about the 10K didn't really make him part of the daily 10K
