    So me being born in Australia was like getting a mythic prize in a loot crate.

    How about chances of being born in the ocean, or even on this planet?

      We’d need data on beings born on other planets to determine that. Currently there’s a 100% chance that you were born on this planet if you’re a human.

        if you’re a human.

        You can leave this out, unless we are considering fission “born”. Even experiments like ant colonies in orbit are arguably within the confines of earth. Unless we want to start defining “on” in which case I posit that a baby born in an airplane is not born a citizen of earth.

          You can leave this out

          No, because it’s highly likely that organic beings are born all the time on other planets out there. That was an impersonal “you.”

          If you’re born in Earth’s atmosphere, I would consider that being born “on” Earth.

            My point was that we know of no other organic beings beyond our planet, so all known life is born on earth.

              I was referring to all life that’s born in general, not just what we know. Our knowledge is extremely limited.

    I think those chances vary a lot based on where your parents live.

    With all the scientists and cruises that tour around Antarctica, I am not convinced that the chances of being born there are a flat 0. It might be less than 1% but no way it’s 0.

    At least 11 babies have been born in Antarctica.

      0.0000001375%!

      (This is based solely on roughly how many people exist, not birth rates, because I ain’t doing the real math for what is ultimately a rounding error)

    Technically Antarctica isn’t 0. There’s a civilian colony and at least one baby has been born there.

      11 people were born there. That’s a ~0.00000000133649348822 chance. Small but not impossible.

          Thats Ginger beer, root beer has a distinctly different taste (i actually love both though).

            Indeed, they make BOTH. If you haven’t tried their root beer, you need to. I can’t drink any other sarsaparilla/sassafras beverage now.
