    Once in a lifetime stuff happens literally all the time.

    If you look at every decade in history there’s some sort of crisis or major event going on.

    I think it was fermi who said the odds of some specific truck having a specific license plate he saw are minuscule, so it’s remarkable!

    Anyways, I’m just tired of this “once in a lifetime crisis” meme. It’s been beaten to death at this point.

    Shit sucks and that’s life, unless you were born during a few brief and rare moments in history.

      Yeah, seeing than one truck isn’t remarkable. But when you see that unique truck again, then it’s significant.

      Like 100-year floods. Seeing that one truck once a year? Unremarkable. When you start seeing it far more often than you have before? Something changed.
