Or attacked by a shark? Or won the lottery? Or any of those other one-in-a-million things? I know three drat people who've been struck by lightning (one guy got it twice!), but only one lottery winner. No shark attack folks.

You're incredibly lucky. The chances of any of those things happening to you are astronomically less than them happening to anyone else. You may be immortal to lightning. Funky See Funky Do fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Nov 17, 2023 |

Just imagine the chances of you knowing 3 people that have been struck by lightning and it happening to you. You're statistically immune from lightning damage. If you were struck by lightning it would be a scientifically significant event that we don't have a theory for.

Imagine being so stupid as to be struck by lightning. If lightning was about to strike me, I'd simply jump out of the way.

i actually did know someone who was eaten by a shark. he worked for a same company as me but he wasn't full time staff at the same place as me. met him a few times but it was his wife who worked in the office on site i knew better. he was on holiday with her and he went missing snorkling near the island of Reunion and they found his arm inside a tiger shark, wedding ring hand too. pretty sad story really.

My grandpa had a friend who won the lottery. They were both in the navy, and he couldn't get out of his contract. So he bought silk sheets fitted to his bunk lol. He also drove a junker, habitually. He went out and bought a cool new car. It got stolen. So he got another. And it got stolen. He grabbed a junker... and the fucker ran forever, never got stolen, but looked like utter poo poo. I have vague memories of meeting him and playing with his kid, who was really loving weird. I also think he had a boat?

Used to go diving with a guy who survived a really bad great white shark attack that required over 400 stitches (i knew him many decades after the attack but he'd quite happily show anyone asking about it the scars). He still has a shark tooth embedded deep in his wrist.

Dead Sex-Parrot posted:cant be a riptide if you survive Says who? It was a riptide that sucked my dumb 11 year old rear end down under the water out to a 1/4 mile from the shore. I remember it clear as day and I even lost a few minutes of time struggling to survive and get above the water and even remember the feeling of dying (or possibly even doing so for a bit, which accounts for the lost time). Then, just like that, instantaneously my head is above water coughing up water and gasping, very much alive, but barely. I swam back to shore and acted like nothing happened. I never even told my family it happened until around twenty years later.
