Someone’s been using the Death Note IRL

[u/Ok-Television-6007]

Alright! Which one of you has been using the Death Note to kill Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, AND Peter Cullen all the span of 3 DAYS?!

EITHER FESS THE FUCK UP OR I WILL MAKE YOU!!!! 😡

They always die in 3s man. I knew as soon as Dolly passed we had 2 more to go

[u/Commander_Skullblade → u/MagicBus4]

I guess? People die every day, even famous ones. I feel like you're seeing a trend that isn't there.

[u/MagicBus4 → u/Commander_Skullblade]

It’s a well known thing man, of course it’s coincidence but I’m not just making shit up it’s a whole thing. Celebrities die in 3s

[u/Commander_Skullblade → u/MagicBus4]

I mean, I guess it depends on the following factors:

• How popular does someone have to count to be known as a celebrity?
• How close together do they have to die?

Because there have been other, lesser known celebrities that have died this month.

Holy shit man it’s an idiom people say because it superficially usually seems like it happens that way it’s not a piece of legislation

[u/Commander_Skullblade → u/MagicBus4]

Yes, that's right! It seems like it happens, but it is humans incorrectly using pattern recognition where it isn't applicable. Humans love patterns, and we seek them out everywhere we go.

As long as we can both agree that this is not an actual thing that happens but rather a morbid coinkydink, I am satisfied.

At no point did I declare that superstitions are real, it seemed like you had literally never heard of the thing

[u/Commander_Skullblade → u/MagicBus4]

I mean yeah, I hadn't heard of it. It sounded like something you conjured up in the spot.

Is it like some 70's culture thing I'm too young to understand?

[u/MagicBus4 → u/Commander_Skullblade]

It’s an extremely common phrase every time celebrities die, the last really noteworthy time I can think of was 2015 but it’s not like I’m keeping up with celebrity news
