    Plot twist; they cancelled because their convention had to be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances.

        They just wanted to fuck with him a little. Curse worked too well.

        Maybe they predicted the plane would crash, but missed that it’d be by flying into a nuclear fireball.

    This is a psychological evaluation test. Please choose the answer you deem most likely to explain the event.

    Question 1

    A group of people scheduled to go to the same event all decide not to go, why?

    A. The event is cancelled

    B. The group rescheduled

    C. They all, individually, have super powers

      D. They all, individually, have superpowers and predicted a disaster would happen. However, their future vision is predicated on the fact that they’ll all be on the plane. Them all choosing not to go will have significantly altered the outcome of a potential future event.

      In short; you’re probably safe.

        Technically, their inability to predict a crash doesn’t prevent a crash – you might die all the same (it’s particularly grim that, according to the meme, even their supposed clairvoyance wouldn’t prevent a crash because they presumably would just quietly avoid going).

          Imagine being the person who has that ability, it always comes true and letting your friends know, and the ones who believe you don’t go on it, but the person at Delta Airlines doesn’t believe you, so they won’t tell the pilot to not go. Gotta transport all that cargo…

        Idk probably A.

        If rescheduling, it would have to be extremely last minute if the airline did not have time to rebook seats. That would be disruptive to everyone and basically just means second event at the same cost as the first which sort of unravels the benefit of rescheduling.

        Also. If they are all psychic, why would they book flights then cancel them? 🤔

      E. One of them has the super power, and contacted the others who all know that the superpower is real and/or pretend to also have the power so claim they also saw the same thing

      F. Same as E but that one person is lying too

      I think true psychism in the universe does not allow for confirmation of what psychics predict. The universe reacts in a way beyond our ken. The plane will land just fine.

    The airline would probably cancel the flight if they sold only one seat, so that’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

      Nah, airlines have their planes in a complex web of routes all dependent on each other, that plane would fly regardless because after it gets (if it got there heh) to the next airport it would also prob have a route from that airport to another

        Exactly. I was on an empty flight red eye PDX to Boston. Didn’t get cancelled, but what sucked that they didn’t have first class, so I still had to be crammed into those tiny seats. Couldn’t sleep as always.

    They could not do a prediction before they booked the flight nor when they scheduled the event? So their powers are limited to same-day predictions? Probably low-level NPCs.

    My first cross-country flight was in one of those planes with the middle rows (plus rows left and right). It was so empty that me, my friend, and my dad could all lie down across entire rows. It really did not set realistic expectations for what future air travel would be like. “Damn, it’s fuckin’ NICE back here in coach. Don’t. Mind. If. I. Do.”
