The fact that you considered the option 1 possible make it one of the stupiest comment I ever read here

Yet option 3 was an accurate prediction 🤔🤔🤔

And I hope you're ESL cause otherwise that's a hell of an ironic sentence. BUT I'll use my terrible predictive abilities and bet that you are ESL. Which probably makes you smarter than me just by definition.

You call that a prediction?

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oui.

Everybody knew that iran would close the straight in case of a big escalation like this one.

Yet my prediction was not simply that they would closec the strait. Of course everyone knew that.
