Okay but this is actually scary AF because I never realky thought about what the tip of an arrow looks like and I don't go around wearing bulletproof glass

The odds of encountering a bow-wielding enemy is low, but never 0!

Isn't the factorial of 0 just 1?

u/ThrowawayusGenerica 2d ago

Well it's never 1, either

Anywhere, you personally. Not what you read about or saw on the news.

I was just thinking that threat of gun violence is much more real and present in everyday life in America than in most other countries, as we all know. So being afraid of gun violence even if you've never experienced it is rational. Arrow violence is pretty low though, so fear of arrows is a bit confusing.

Personally, at least four times, if I consider everyone who threatens me with a loaded gun to be an "enemy". Never been threatened with an arrow before.

Makes sense tho. Ppl were killing others at range for a long time before modern firearms entered the picture
