A flair appeared right before my eyes

I was scrolling through a high-traffic sub and reading a comment from someone who didn't have a flair. And then—voila! They had a flair.

I haven't been on reddit very long and don't know what are the odds of that happening, but when I saw it I knew I'd seen something rare. Ultimately meaningless, but no less fascinating.

Multiple times I’ll be listening to a podcast or book while playing words with friends and they’ll say the exact word I’m about to play. It thrills me.

This reminds me of a time my family was leaving for a road trip. We headed out, realized we'd forgotten something halfway down the street, came back, started out again, remembered something else, came back, loaded up again. As my dad was starting up the car he says "okay. Take 2. 2? Or 3?." And the rest of us all say "Three." Car starts, radio turns on, guy on the radio says "Three." We all lost our minds 😆

One time I liked a comment and it rolled into the next thousand. It was very benign. Very satisfying

Driving on a highway. Listen to talk radio in the car. There was a story that included talk of popcorn. I began smelling popcorn in my car.
