This is a psychological evaluation test. Please choose the answer you deem most likely to explain the event.
Question 1
A group of people scheduled to go to the same event all decide not to go, why?
A. The event is cancelled
B. The group rescheduled
C. They all, individually, have super powers
E. One of them has the super power, and contacted the others who all know that the superpower is real and/or pretend to also have the power so claim they also saw the same thing
F. Same as E but that one person is lying too
D. They all, individually, have superpowers and predicted a disaster would happen. However, their future vision is predicated on the fact that they’ll all be on the plane. Them all choosing not to go will have significantly altered the outcome of a potential future event.
In short; you’re probably safe.
Technically, their inability to predict a crash doesn’t prevent a crash – you might die all the same (it’s particularly grim that, according to the meme, even their supposed clairvoyance wouldn’t prevent a crash because they presumably would just quietly avoid going).
Imagine being the person who has that ability, it always comes true and letting your friends know, and the ones who believe you don’t go on it, but the person at Delta Airlines doesn’t believe you, so they won’t tell the pilot to not go. Gotta transport all that cargo…
Final Destination?
A and B sound about the same likelihood to me, I might get this wrong.
Idk probably A.
If rescheduling, it would have to be extremely last minute if the airline did not have time to rebook seats. That would be disruptive to everyone and basically just means second event at the same cost as the first which sort of unravels the benefit of rescheduling.
Also. If they are all psychic, why would they book flights then cancel them? 🤔
There might also just be one ot two with that super power among them, but if the rest knows how accurate their power is (or at least believes as much), them sending a message around “I woke up from a vivid dream about being on a crashing plane today, I’m staying tf home” might be enough to make everyone else cancel.
I’d still go. I’d find it macabre and funny, it wouldn’t make me anxious. Private plane!
Humans like to believe a lot of stupid stuff without evidence, and feel like it becomes more true the more other people believe in the same stupid stuff.
Plot twist; they cancelled because their convention had to be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances.
Ah Mr freeman
Who would have thought that this was a bad idea?
But otherwise Gordon would have missed so much fun:
Great gif
*consequences
Full-life consequences.
:)
They realized that they don’t need to wear those ridiculous ties and went to home for a quick change
They could not do a prediction before they booked the flight nor when they scheduled the event? So their powers are limited to same-day predictions? Probably low-level NPCs.
That’s still pretty good. Waking up and knowing that the day is lost and you may as well go back to sleep would be wonderful.
Oh Ziggy, will you ever win?
I really don’t get the joke.
I mean I think I get it, but it isn’t funny.
The joke is that the physicists cancelled because of the possibility that it crashes?
physicists
psychics
Aaaahhh. Man I can’t read
I’m genuinely curious what you thought the joke was when you thought they were all physicists. Also I’d be way more afraid to get on a plane that a bunch of physicists came to a consensus that it was unsafe rather than a bunch of whacky scam artists that thought was unsafe because magic beans or whatever.
Weather. Statistics. Idk, this why I said I don’t get it
The comic was moderately funny, but this exchange is great. Thanks.
Idk, etsy witches do prove to be quite powerful nowadays
The psychics predict it will crash is the joke. Though the stewardess made it up as a joke which is also the joke.
Charlatans sharing a collective delusion would not scare me in any way.
That’s like christian saying you’ll go to hell if you do anything but diddlig children. Okay i guess.

“I’m going too. Why do you think I picked this seat?”

Brilliant. For anybody who doesn’t want to click through, according to that link, Ziggy picked one of the safest seats on the plane.
Those people aren’t ever right. I’d take this as a massive win!
100%
Unless they were the witches they cursed Charlie Kirk
They just wanted to fuck with him a little. Curse worked too well.
Maybe they predicted the plane would crash, but missed that it’d be by flying into a nuclear fireball.
I like this take. They’re not great at magic and only meant for him to fall over and graze his knee…
Must have added too much baboons blood to that potion…
Plot twist the only reason the plane was going to crash was because of all the psychics. It’ll fly perfectly safely with one passenger.
You chang3d the future by acting on it. Fate probably nocks one of them in a road accident or a freek 9/11 2
Or the catastrophic event was going to occur at the convention so they all decided not to go, end of the day im enjoying that empty plane lol
I think true psychism in the universe does not allow for confirmation of what psychics predict. The universe reacts in a way beyond our ken. The plane will land just fine.
Because they were all fat.
I’d be off that plane so fast
Yeah, but then you gotta watch out for all those little Rube Goldberg death traps coming for you for like, forever. Is that really a life worth living?
It’s been a long long time since I saw a ziggy
How about a Zippy?
My first cross-country flight/flight of any kind was a red-eye in one of those planes with the middle rows (plus rows left and right). It was so empty that me, my friend, and my dad could all lie down across entire rows. It really did not set realistic expectations for what future air travel would be like. “Damn, it’s fuckin’ NICE back here in coach. Don’t. Mind. If. I. Do.”
Gift horse, mouth. I’m chillin in 1st class with free drinks. worst case I die happy.
The airline would probably cancel the flight if they sold only one seat, so that’s a self fulfilling prophecy.
Nah, airlines have their planes in a complex web of routes all dependent on each other, that plane would fly regardless because after it gets (if it got there heh) to the next airport it would also prob have a route from that airport to another
Exactly. I was on an empty flight red eye PDX to Boston. Didn’t get cancelled, but what sucked that they didn’t have first class, so I still had to be crammed into those tiny seats. Couldn’t sleep as always.
At least there wasn’t a screaming baby, a moron kicking your seat, or someone eating steamed broccoli sitting next to you.
What if there was only one other person on the plane, and it was a screaming baby that kicked the seat while eating broccoli?
At least you can change seats? 🤷
no, not the steamed broccoli!
Hahaha it seems anecdotal, because it is. On a plane it smells like someone opened a box of farts.
They might need the plane at the other airport anyway
Have been the only one on a flight before. It’s weird when the flight attendants outnumber you.
They need that plane to pickup the other passengers from the destination airport
I flew from Oman to Dubai with like 4 people on the flight aside from crew. Stretched out in the centre aisle.
