NounsAndWords,

A clown car is famously a very tiny car with more clowns in it than you would expect to be able to fit.

boredtortoise,

You’re one of the lucky 10000 today

PlasticPigeon,

Literally learnt about the lucky 10000 yesterday on here! So that was a 10000 moment for this fella over here as well! :-)

#10000ception ;-)

boredtortoise,

I’d like it to be the lucky 400 thousand but I guess it’s not that snappy

PlasticPigeon,

The 10 000 is a reference to the original post, will have to find it. Saw it on here yesterday perhaps. :-)

boredtortoise,

My link has the comic

xorollo,

What group am I in if I am part of two independent lucky 10k events in a single day?

boredtortoise, (edited )

(Odds of being in one)² = (1/10000)² = 1⁄100000000?

Caboose12000,

what are the lucky 10000?

boredtortoise,

Randall Munroe calculated that there’s every day the lucky 10000 (in the US, 400 thousand globally) who learn something for the first time that is very known.

platypus_plumba,

You’re one of them today. Jk, I don’t think it applies specifically to this, this isn’t well known.

Donjuanme,

I feel like the analogy of a clown car is pretty widespread? And the lucky 10,000 is back of the napkin guestimation, I think it’s allowed an order of magnitude on either side, and one should not feel bad for being part of it, you’re in for learning and learning is (or should be) fun!

platypus_plumba,

No, I meant that not knowing about the 10K didn’t really make him part of the daily 10K

lseif,

its a reference to [www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/…/1053:_Ten_Thousand](this xkcd)

ieightpi,

How crazy is this thread is for someone to hear about clown cars AND the lucky 10,000 for the first time.

That number must be smaller

Zorque,

You see, PBF likes to take common jokes and then insert something about people dying. Or getting hurt in some way.

Humor!

chicken,

Suffering is inherently funny so it works

lingh0e,

I read all these “clown car” interpretations, but they’re all missing the point.

This is a lady clown whose fallopian tubes are heavy with eggs, as any fertile lady clown of her relative young age.

All the ambulancii are there to transport her unborn yet still vitally human unfertilized lady clown eggs.

Pray for her, for it’s not a clown car but a uterus.

nnullzz,

Wtf… do you need a hug?

evranch,

As per tradition, the real clown car is in the comments

Lmmfao!

The brilliance in this is wasted on the masses.

nxdefiant,

A gravid clown, a grave situation.

This post is like drinking a French Malbec after it’s been used to deglaze a burnt pan, I love it.

lseif,

what… are you talking about??

GentlemanLoser,

Clown car!

jopepa,

I hope you don’t shout at real life five year olds

GentlemanLoser,

Only if they have it coming

bionicjoey,

The joke is that clowns would sometimes do a bit at the circus where like a dozen of them would cram into a tiny car. Just google the phrase “clown car” and you should see numerous examples of this.

name_NULL111653,

Probably one of those acts where they fit a ridiculous number of clowns into one tiny clown car.

Rhynoplaz,

Yup. It’s a classic clown gag. They stuff an unrealistic amount of clowns into those tiny cars for a laugh.

But killing dozens of clowns in a drunk driving accident isn’t funny. It’s fucking hilarious.

phoenixz,

Yeah, I’m going to steal this one

Klear,

Just don’t get caught while stealing it or it’s straight to gulag.

Oszilloraptor,

How many clowns must die to turn a tragedy into a comedy?
