Yeah, I was trying to compute the “ballpark” of thr odds, but it’s actually hard to do because of how astronomically improbable it is. Even computation systems that are designed to compute rather big/small numbers (think 100,000,000^1,000,000 big) fail.

Here’s another example: If a human only had 1,000 gut microbes, the chance that over 900 of them get snapped is 1 in ~10^162 [[WA(www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=CDF[BinomialDistribu…)]].

Now if you do that for every human on earth, the probability is still essentially zero. [WA]

When you consider that humans don’t have 1000 gut microbes, they have over 10 trillion, it’s just mind bogglingly improbable.
