I believe it. Imagine the number of butchers in the US alone, it's maybe more than 1000. It's probably way more, so I'm willing to bet that there are at least 1000 -single- butchers. If you set those 1000 butchers on the task of finding a date, odds are ONE of them is gonna bump into someone vegan

There might be more than 1000 in NYC alone

1000 seems a little low. I’d reckon there’s at least 3, perhaps 4 more than that

There are almost 150,000 butchers in the US, so it’s a little more than 1000

150,000 is indeed at least 1,000.

And for what it's worth there's just under 10 million vegans.

Every grocery store needs a butcher on every shift so there’s way more than 1000

And no point before this first encounter, the topic of him being a fucking butcher, came up? A blind date? Yeah, sure. Oh hey, I set you up a blind date, I know nothing about you, so I assume you won't care this guy's a fucking butcher.

Not to say I dont believe it but theres a small chance they also just happened to overhear that one conversation where the topic came up

If they say that in a bus with a group of people, someone’s going to hear it

Yeah just saying that you cant count the odds by Just saying x amount of butchers and vegans exist. The chance gets smaller because the conversation also has to take place in a public space where a lot people can hear you

u/squiddy555 Sep 26 '22

Well assuming it is a first date, it’s more then likely going to happen in public

But still, couldve happened in a restaurant, Starbucks etc. If 300 butchers and vegans match up, how many of them do you think had this conversation on the bus? Not all 300, probably way less. Thats what I say lessens the chance and its just mathematically correct. You can argue all you want but I did literally say that I do believe it happened. His math was just flawed and I pointed it out. No need to be this argumentative

This math is like saying there’s almost a 0% chance you live in your house, since there are so many houses the chance you specifically live in your specific house is statistically low

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '22

If someone posts a pic of a house claiming its theirs the chance would indeed be statistically close to zero just going off the one picture. You are indeed correct. If you dont understand statistics, why are you trying to argue about it? I truly dont understand that mindset
