Post subject: | Weird Coincidences |
Yesterday, I received an email from my dad. I'm not too close to my dad. Haven't emailed each other for 2 years, and he emails me out of the blue. I opened my inbox to find two unread emails. One email from him, and another from Go Daddy. Is the universe trying to tell me something? Another weird coincidence happened yesterday. I went to the toilet where I work and there is an open window where you can look out of an area of grass. There was a few people walking around and it just popped into my head that it would be fun if I had one of those laser pointers. They'd have no idea where it came from. Silly idea, but why would I think about laser pointers on that day when I haven't thought about laser pointers for probably at least a decade. Anyway, I go back to the office, sit down, and my boss had a package delivered. It was a laser pointer. These two coincidences happened on the same day. Of course, they were simply coincidences, and both happening on the same day was also a coincidence, a low probability coincidence. Thought it was worth sharing. Yes, that's how boring my life is. ![]() |

That's pretty neat actually. When spooky things like that happen it's totally legit to start wondering about the ultimate nature of the universe and the possibility that things that seem like very low probability coincidence might have some deeper, undetectable connection. Reminds me of a novel I read a long time called The Celestine Prophesy that was a massive best seller. Makes me want to reread it to see how well it holds up to present day me. |

Sounds like the sequel to I heart Huckabees. Now we just need to figure out how the laser pointer fits in with your dad. Was he emailing that he had recently gotten Laser Eye Surgery! |

I heard a podcast about a bad mushroom trip that led someone to see coincidences everywhere and then eventually end up in the mental hospital |

I actually had a weird one on Wednesday. I had never actually watched Black Panther. But I have one of those boxes that just lets you watch anything you want. And The film started so 1960s, and I realized it was the opening scene to the original Pink Panther film. I was actually like, wow I wasn't really looking forward to the film all that much, but I love this if the film somehow starts with a Black Panther/Pink Panther intro. Then I was just like, oh they fucked up the synching this is just Pink Panther. For the love of God if there is another Black Panther film, can that please happen! |

I had another one of these today. My son always plays with my wife's plastic hairband (not sure if that's exactly what it's called but it moves the hair of of your face when you want to wash your face). It has been in his toys for years, though my wife still uses it, she just lets him play with it. Nothing has ever happened to it, but yesterday it popped into my mind how easy it would for him to snap it in two. He was playing with it at the time, perhaps bending it a little bit but no more than my wife would do to get it on her head. Anyway, today it snapped in two. Not sure how it happened. Pretty sure it was just an accident and not because he was bending it. |

I had a strange one too: on Monday it was my dog puking after eating something bad the day before, then it was me being sick from food on Tuesday, and then on Wednesday it was my wife who got sick too. And we ate different food, so pretty crazy I thought. |
