Reply to ELI5: In math - when we say the probability of something occurring over “infinite” time is 1, does that not completely ignore intervening events that cause the probability to be 0. by Mikiemax80
If you consider that other ways of dying prevent you from dying by being hit by a train (which kinda makes sense, you only live die once), then you are not considering anymore the probability of being hit by a train over an infinite period of time. You are just considering the period until you die of some other cause.
On the other hand, if you are some immortal superhero, then yes, in that case, all the other causes of "death" are not final anymore, and in that case the probably you will die being hit by a train will be 1. It absolutely will happen to you. And since you will resurrect right after that, it will even happen multiple times. An infinite number of times. Enjoy!

Reply to Why does a heron stand on one leg? Since the legs are not even protected by feathers, the heron reduces their blood supply in order to lose less heat. From time to time, the bird changes its supporting leg. by volhaudververg7
I thought everyone knew that: the reason they stand on one leg is that if they lifted both legs they would fall over.
