    It’s unlikely.

    The probability of a random English speaking person being Irish is approximately 7.1856/1493 ≈ 0.00481, which is a pretty low number. There just aren’t that many Irish people.

    • Oh yes this “birth statistics” thing… like this line of thoughts is causing me a sort of existential crisis…

      Like… me being born ethnicallt Chinese in Mainland China was literally a statistic… its like amongst the top 2 countries in terms of births, even account for one child policy… like its over 10% chance… and oh yea there were like 400 million that were born against policy… like me 🫠

      In terms of world population…it’s a 1 in 7 chance

      So… yea I’m just a statistic…

      But what’s not a statistic is the fact that I’m a diaspora… that’s kinda rare for China in terms of percentage…

      But then again I’m Taishanese (台山) ancestry… so that’s just standard for us… most of Chinese Emigration have Taishanese ancestry…

      I wish I was Norweigian… but the odds of being orn norweigian is like impossible… sad 🙃

      Why am I here?

      I think about The Egg by Andy Weir sometimes… what if I die now then get reincarnated as a woman in the middle east, then spawnkilled… 👀

      okay sorry I’m just rambling now xD
