Fortnite finally posted the odds, so I did the math. Now I get to ruin everyone’s fun with numbers. Pirate Shop Access: 1 in 137,500 per chest Weekly Gold Outfit: 1 in 1,562,500 per chest The following are more likely than you getting the Pirate Shop in one chest: • Dying in a car crash in your lifetime (1 in 101) • Getting robbed in a given year, 2024 US rate (~1 in 455) • A randomly selected Chicago citizen having been shot in 2025 (~1 in 1,500) • A full-odds shiny Pokémon (1 in 4,096) • Winning $50K on a $1 Maryland Pick 5 ticket (1 in 100,000) • Flipping 17 heads in a row (1 in 131,072) More likely than the gold skin in one chest: • Being dealt a royal flush (1 in 649,740) • Naturally conceiving quadruplets (~1 in 700,000) • Winning $50K on one Powerball ticket (1 in 913,129) • Flipping 20 heads in a row (1 in 1,048,576) • Getting struck by lightning THIS YEAR (~1 in 1,222,000) The gold skin barely beats: • Catching a blue lobster (~1 in 2 million) • Flipping 21 heads in a row (1 in 2,097,152) "Just play squads during Treasure Hours." Okay. Treasure rewards are shared with your whole squad. With Nov 7's 2x boost, every time all 4 of you open a chest, that's about a 1 in 17,188 shot at the Pirate Shop. Still more likely: • Finding a pearl in your restaurant oyster (~1 in 10,000) • A hole-in-one on a par 3 (1 in 12,500) • Dying in a cataclysmic storm (hurricane, tornado, blizzard, etc.) in your lifetime (1 in 14,115) • Getting struck by lightning in your lifetime (1 in 15,300) • Flipping 14 heads in a row (1 in 16,384) FINALLY less likely (was more likely than base odds): • Finding a five-leaf clover (1 in 24,400) • Being killed by a dog in your lifetime (1 in 33,899) • Matching 4 Powerball numbers for $100 (1 in 36,525) Same squad odd for the gold skin: with the 7.5x Treasure Hours boost, every time all 4 of you open a chest, that's about a 1 in 52,084 shot. Still more likely: • Flipping 15 heads in a row (1 in 32,768) • Dying from a bee, wasp or hornet sting in your lifetime (1 in 42,626) FINALLY less likely: • Flipping 16 heads in a row (1 in 65,536) • Being dealt a straight flush (1 in 72,193) And the gold skin changes every week. A coin-flip chance at one takes ~1.08 million chests, which is nearly 2 chests every second for 7 days straight. Want EVERY gold skin? Getting all 5 weekly ones from one chest each is 1 in 9.3 nonillion (9.3 × 10^30). That's ~373,000x rarer than winning the Powerball jackpot 3 times in a row. For a 50/50 shot at all 5, you'd need ~3.2 million chests every week. Even with a full squad splitting it, that's 800,000 chests a week, about 1.3 every second, nonstop, for 5 weeks. (Different events, same math. Death odds are US lifetime odds; crime odds are per year; Fortnite odds are per chest at normal rates unless noted. Sources below.)

Charlie, your voice carries far today. You were a father. A brother. A husband. I think your wife loved you. And it was all cut short. But what wasn't cut short was your impact. An empty crater that is. Today, deadass nobody voted for your ideals. You died for nothing lmfao.

I will never vote in my lifetime it’s the most useless thing to do because 1 vote will never determine the outcome I would rather just save my time
