[–] amio@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago (2 children) "Troll logic" is one of my favorite memes. Exactly like being hit by lightning at any instant has a 50% risk because either it happens or it doesn't. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago What if you half die permalink fedilink source parent [–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago Yes, but the probabilities (for the lightning) are not independent. So, while everyday there is a 50% chance to be hit be lightning, it's the same outcome every day. If you didn't get hit by lightning yesterday, you probably won't today either. permalink fedilink source parent
