rofl. no joke i was just talking to someone about this very concept.
we were joking about how unlucky this really stupid kid was to have his dumbass parents in genetic combination.
and i jokingly said "unlucky for a human but lucky as hell for matter"
then i started talking about how ridiculously unlikely it was on a universe-scale that a random human-size amount of matter gets to assemble into even a living entity, let alone a conscious one, let alone a sentient one. let alone a human one in a time when quality of life is high enough that your chances of living well past child-bearing age are close to 100%.
and then the very next morning after that conversation, i see this on the front page.
what are the odds of that?? lol
