More often than not humans have a tendency to overestimate coincidences. Maybe if the guy is in your same town or same country, sharing similar interests (playing Apex Legends) and has a similar profile to your viewerbase, it might not be that coincidental that youtube recommends him the video. Similarly, there was probably like a 1/1000 chance of you hitting your base in minecraft given you were probably mining nearby and just happened to get the direction right. The fact that your tunnel fit so perfectly is less likely, but nevertheless it was most likely a far cry from 1/1000000.
i sometimes like this simpler videos, it brings me back for a simpler youtube time. Thanks for your video, and i wish you never quit. And yeah, coincidences sometimes can be strange. For example, in the end of school i got rejected by a girl... And when i went to university, she was the only person of my entire school i've met in this next year, and it happened while getting a bus home. The likelyhood for this is insanely low, even more because i saw her TWICE in the same week and never more.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and kind words! The chances of that happening is EXTREMELY low, literally impossible. What ended up happening, did you two become friends after? And I appreciate everything you said! I want to do simpler videos like these because I miss old UA-cam. Let’s bring it back. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I never thought about it that way wow. 1 in a million is still a pretty great chance it can happen to any one of us since we could be one of those 8000.
@@SonyxApexGuides it really is interesting stuff though, im a huge nerd and I love statistics so I keep track of stuff in video games. The rarest thing that has ever happened to me was winning 6 1/12 chances IN A ROW. Aka as a 1 in 2,985,984. I think about this constantly, especially whenever I get bad luck in games. But it’s also fun to wonder, how many 1 in 3mills have I missed and just not realized it since it didn’t happen? For a thing to be statistically likely to happen you might the think the math for 1 in a million to be do it a million times, but the math is actually 1-(1-(chance))^(attempts) So if you’re going for a 1 in a million, here are some examples of 1 attempt, 1000 attempts, 100,000 attempts, and 500,000 attempts .0001% .099950066% 9.51626272% 39.346949193% So even if you havnt had a chance to have gotten something extremely rare, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s as rare as you think it. Hope I didn’t bore you 😓
Last summer while i was in vacation in another country a friend of mine and i spoke to a stranger for fun. Turns out he is a thight friend of the brother of my friend and lives like 10min drive from where i live
While everything can in theory be predicted. But to what extent can we predict things? how far can we go to try explain the 'cause and effect' phenomenon of our universe? the further out the universe we look, the more difficult it is to predict what caused what to exist and/or happen. I mean, if there are other universes, how do we know if they have an impact on our universe or not? And if they do exist, we cannot really know if our universe is determend as some may think. So what this means is that alot of things aren't gonna be 100% predictable. So (while not really accurate), coincidence is the best answer here.
I totally feel this. Sometimes things just seem way too perfect to be a coincidence, and I’d say that they’re not. As someone who is Christian I believe God is working all things together, and sometimes He just does ridiculous stuff. For example, I know someone that met a guy on apex and became a Christian because of that online friendship, and now they’ve met irl and visit each other often.
Hey Mark! Same here, I think things happen for a reason because there's more out there that we just cannot explain. Things happen for a reason, whether it be a spiritual one, fate itself, or a combination of everything, I really don't believe that things are random.
My father belive that coincedence ( prob spet that wrong) do not exist becouse they happen to him all the time like he was going back home from a place and for some reason he tought about a friend of him and he called him then he said that he was going home and he was on an road and the friend at that time was on the same road that the friend was so he turned back and then they met and talk
The Apex playerbase isnt millions lol. And you see so many players all the time so really its not that deep. Also if nothing is coincidence its the same as saying everything is coincidende?
This vid is amazing! Theinecrafy background and the apex incident is just so heartwarming, I love hearing good stuff from you man. A lifesaving (kinda) coincidence happened to me before too in apex, during the Shadow Society Event, I thought opening four of the individually bought packs would guarantee a gold item, but truns out it's only the four pack combo and ilost 500 AC and crafting stuff, but when I did so was the account reseting but period and it had a time where the things people got during a time we're all lost and luckily I bought those packs during that time and when I woke up to having that 500 AC back, I was so happy and it litterally just mad my day. Personally I am a Christian and I believe that God has planned it all for us, I truly thanks God for this miracle! Coincidence doesn't exist! 🤍

This video earned you a subscriber - I love the content! Keep up the great work man
Thank you so much! Welcome and I hope you’ll enjoy more videos on my channel ❤️
Even if something is 1 in a million, that still means its happening to 8000 people right now.

@@theendofthestart8179 not boring at all, that’s actually pretty awesome that you see connection in statistics and numbers! 🤭
fatum i could say ;)) really impresive but i think that everybody has at least one story like that
I agree! Do you have any stories like it?
Last summer while i was in vacation in another country a friend of mine and i spoke to a stranger for fun. Turns out he is a thight friend of the brother of my friend and lives like 10min drive from where i live
That's actually insane, whoa!! :O
Haha, wild! :D
How are you??
@@SonyxApexGuides Heyyyyy! I'm goood! Trying very slowly to learn about gamedev, it's fun, but difficult! :') How are YOU??
your tools are soo good
Mannnn I miss god gear
I saw the enchanted pickaxe, and I was confused, but then you explained it. 😂
Hahaha remember your comment a few weeks ago about the next MC vid? This vid was inspired because of you!
@@SonyxApexGuides I'm honored.

Man you got me thinking about the meaning of life with these comments, mad props WOW. It wasn't coincidence that brought you here.
@@SonyxApexGuides Thanks! Oh by the way, the meaning of life would be a good minecraft video.

Sorry for the long comment also my father did not know that his friend was going out or anything he Just called him out of nowhere
This happened in the last Month he expirience these coincedence basically once every 3/4 months
That’s actually really cool. It’s like the universe said, “hey you’re talking to this friend? Well here they are right in front of you” 😂😂
Nice vid
Also is this a coincidence?
Thank you my friend! Yes it is!
