I love it when more than one person on my feed talks about the same random thing at the same time.
We need a word or phrase to describe this phenomenon. If you’ve heard a good one or want to make up a new slang term, please share. I will use it!
(But I hate seeing friends getting hurt, so I declare this trend officially over. 😂 Be safe out there, everyone. )

“You will remember that I remarked the other day, just before we went into the very simple problem presented by Miss Mary Sutherland, that for strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.”
“A proposition which I took the liberty of doubting.”
“You did, Doctor, but none the less you must come round to my view, for otherwise I shall keep on piling fact upon fact on you until your reason breaks down under them and acknowledges me to be right.”Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician

People are entirely too disbelieving of coincidence. They are far too ready to dismiss it and to build arcane structures of extremely rickety substance in order to avoid it. I, on the other hand, see coincidence everywhere as an inevitable consequence of the laws of probability, according to which having no unusual coincidence is far more unusual than any coincidence could possibly be.
Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) Russian-American author, polymath, biochemist
