Ever had any Irish in you?

It’s unlikely.
The probability of a random English speaking person being Irish is approximately 7.1856/1493 ≈ 0.00481, which is a pretty low number. There just aren’t that many Irish people.

Oh yes this “birth statistics” thing… like this line of thoughts is causing me a sort of existential crisis…
Like… me being born ethnicallt Chinese in Mainland China was literally a statistic… its like amongst the top 2 countries in terms of births, even account for one child policy… like its over 10% chance… and oh yea there were like 400 million that were born against policy… like me 🫠
In terms of world population…it’s a 1 in 7 chance
So… yea I’m just a statistic…
But what’s not a statistic is the fact that I’m a diaspora… that’s kinda rare for China in terms of percentage…
But then again I’m Taishanese (台山) ancestry… so that’s just standard for us… most of Chinese Emigration have Taishanese ancestry…
I wish I was Norweigian… but the odds of being orn norweigian is like impossible… sad 🙃
Why am I here?
I think about The Egg by Andy Weir sometimes… what if I die now then get reincarnated as a woman in the middle east, then spawnkilled… 👀
okay sorry I’m just rambling now xD

The Irish have no trolls. It’s the Nordic who have them.

Oh I’m an alien alright, but I’m not an ALIEN like you know… roswell… area 51 type of alien… certainly not an advanced space-faring civilization… probes into space DOES NOT COUNT as “ADVANCED SPACEFARING CIVILLIZATION”, jesus christ they haven’t even put a human on the moon yet… 🤦♂️
