Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: If these replays are just "a few sketchy replays" why can no one produce similar replays or evidence for other pros? Everyone else lifts their mouse at least some, so why have we seen no "aimlock" replays from other players who also lift the mouse often? I ....
Comment preview: I went to a concert on my birthday last year with some friends. We were waiting outside the arena for someone to pull the car around after it was over and there was a large crowd of people leaving the building. We were sitting on a ledge waiting and a grou ....
Comment preview: That's a really cool story. I do believe in glitches like that, as I've had a few weird things like that happen to me that are a little too odd to be coincidences. One week when I was in my early 20s, everything I said kept happening. I worked night club s ....
Comment preview: Synchronicities. For anyone who might not know, a "synchronicity" is a "meaningful coincidence." It's easiest to explain by examples. If you see a particular shirt in a clothing store, then later encounter a friend wearing that exact same shirt, that's n ....
Comment preview: I also feel like the RNG part of the RNG system has got to be flawed. I see so many examples of people posting that they've done the entire raid 6, 7, 8+ times and getting no gear, then here I am having only gotten past the first drop and get raid boots. E ....
Comment preview: Yeah between him saying 'Ang' and the 'we're leaking' part I have a really hard time convincing myself this was just a monumental coincidence and I happened to pick up some random conversation. It's just one of those things that go beyond the realm of coin ....
Comment preview: easier method than 200 coin flips: Got to random.org That website will generate random numbers. (The random-number seed origin comes from visual weather pattern data, since Earth's atmosphere is highly random.) Just have it generate 200 numbers, between 0 ....
Comment preview: So when I was in high school "flip phones" weren't prominent yet. Sometimes if your phone was accidentally bumped or pressed while it was in your pocket it would send a call. One time my friend and I were at a party smoking some pot and talking about the i ....
Comment preview: Hey /u/Thund3rbolt, did you take this picture? And if so, can I hazard a guess you're located somewhere in NL? Random questions, I know, but if the answer to part 2 is a yes, I'll happily explain. EDIT: Well, according to some comments posted by others, th ....
Comment preview: Thanks. Now that you've added a TLDR, I've gone back and re-read the entire thing. Carefully. It sounds like bullshit. It's amazing through this amalgamation of superlative coincidence and happenstance that you should just "accidentally" get "married" a ....
Comment preview: Dan Carlin is fun to listen to, but don't take him at his word as he tends to exaggerate for the sake of entertainment. This is a good example. In his podcast he talks as though this were some big coincidence in which princip, being distraught, goes to a s ....
Comment preview: From [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2k7bgn/speculationmassive_reach_this_event_match_has/) * Title of the event being called "Solidarity". Why use such an obscure word if you weren't making a reference like this? * The two player ....
Comment preview: > random Here is the key word. People often find these stories fascinating and crazy, but that is because they are "cherry-picked" post hoc. For example, some estimates suggest that for each airplane flight there is an average of 1 to 5 people who miss ....
Comment preview: I don't tell this story because it's just a little too strange. Like a glitch in the Matrix. I am a skeptic by nature, btw, and I do think it was a big coincidence but it's just odd as hell. So one day I'm at home and I get a phone call. On the other end ....
Comment preview: I don't think there's any coincidence that 99% of TIL posts are links to Wikipedia articles. It's like the posters simply pick a random Wikipedia article, scan for something mildly interesting, then post it as if it's something that enlightened them. TIL ....
Comment preview: According to the theory of *nominal determinism*, the names *Steve* and *Bill* lead to a higher probability of success for software entrepreneurs. Let's try it out on some random examples... why not start with the article's first one: Bill Joy... wow! But ....
Comment preview: To fill in some details: * They do know who made the post. [Just a random college kid who likes wrestling and vandalizing wikipedia.](http://spring.newsvine.com/_news/2007/06/29/808872-the-college-student-who-knew-about-the-benoit-murder-suicide-before-pol ....
Comment preview: This is the anthropic principle. The anthropic principle gives a (debatable) argument why, even if some characteristic is completely random, or at least very highly variable, we shouldn t be surprised that it s just right for us because on all the plan ....
Comment preview: This is a funny coincidence, I just got back the results of a study my lab ran on this exact same topic! What we did was picking ten random hawks, starved them for a week (so we knew their attention would be on the Cinnamon Toast Crunchs) and took them to ....
Comment preview: The bottom line is that the CDF collaboration saw something weird when trying to understand a very rare sort of process. This process, called WW production, can be understood by the drawing on the upper left of [this diagram](http://www-cdf.fnal.gov/physic ....
Comment preview: So people are talking about your brother knowing they are yours or getting them from your ex, I think the most likely thing is. **Your ex could of uploaded them online, to 4chan, reddit, some random site and your brother simply downloaded all the pictures ....
Comment preview: Maybe that's something that'll be explained in the next season; how the next avatar is chosen. Obviously we know that the avatar will be born into the next nation in the cycle, but is the child chosen at random? Does Raava have some kind of power to see th ....
Comment preview: * I hadn't watched The Honeymooners in ages, in maybe over a year. Then for some reason, the "Swanee River" scene (where Ed can't play a song without warming up with Swanee River) kept popping up in my mind. I turned on the TV that night and boom! The epis ....
Comment preview: I don't know if anyone remembers [this thread](http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2erwdw/c9_meteos_shares_his_wisdom_with_a_fellow_na_solo/) but TheWarlock actually said to Meteos: C10 Meteos: who do you coach TheWarlock: an amateur team TheW ....
Comment preview: I think it's important to remember that oftentimes if you look for patterns or hidden messages you'll find them. You may see thousands of random license plates and ignore them, then see one that you can read into and interpret it as a message. I think some ....
