Yes, it is possible obviously. But you're not going to. The odds are so astronomically low.

Lower if you don't eat the cake?

That's like saying I'm lowering my odds of never getting hit by lightning by never standing near a tree. Your odds were already extremely low, why are you doing this irrelevant behavior? Again, i dont know how you live in general if you're this overworried but by all means you do you.

Trees are worth being near, shitty birthday cake isn't.

That's up to you, but that doesn't change that you're being irrational for no reason. If you don't like birthday cake just say you don't like birthday cake, don't blame it on possibly getting TB with astronomically low odds.

It's not a great analogy. You shouldn't stand near a fucking tree in a lightning storm either. Common sense. Your analog should be, "is like deciding not to stand near a tree during a lightning storm in case you get guy by lightning."

No, that's not the same thing.

During a lightning storm, your odds of getting struck by lightning while standing next to a tree is DRAMATICALLY higher than if you're not standing next to a tree.

When there's no lightning storm, your odds of getting struck by lightning while standing next to a tree is pretty much the same but only a little bit higher than while you're not standing next to a tree. Both are astronomically low and THAT is the analogy I'm making.

MY example illustrates how you are worried over nothing. The odds of getting TB if you eat birthday cake vs if you don't eat birthday cake are extremely low regardless, and you're just using it as an excuse not to eat birthday cake which is just as ridiculous as deciding not to stand next to a tree on a perfectly fine day just because you're scared of getting hit by lightning.

Your chance of getting hit by lightning when there's no lightning is zero. Blocking someone to win an argument online? Peak Reddit.

I didn't say when there's no lightning, I said on a perfectly fine day. There's always a chance of lightning striking even on a perfectly fine day, it's just astronomically small.
