    Like pulling the death card then a random downpour of rain type shit. One of many.

    This one time I was playing Go Fish with my grandpa, and I asked if he had any tens, and he had four of them. Oh yeah it was also raining outside.

    So spooky.

    In all seriousness, I wish people were more mindful of their cognitive biases. According to Google, a standard tarot deck has 78 cards, one of which is Death.

    That’s a 1 in 78 chance. Not huge, but let’s be real, also not very small. It’s a higher chance than pulling three of a kind from a regular card deck. Something that happens all of the time.

    I wonder how many times she did tarot in the rain and didn’t draw Death. It doesn’t mean anything.

    Confirmation bias is a helluva thing.
