what do you mean with baader meinhof count += 1 ?

  Have you ever said "That's odd, I just learned about this obscure fact/company/place/concept the other day and now it popped up again". That's the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon. So I increased the counter of my Baader-Meinhof occurrences. By the way, you'll hear about this again in a few days. :)

    That's odd, I just learned about the Baader-Meinhof pehnomenon the other day, and here it is coming up again. Bizarre.

    Where does the name come from? Baader-Meinhof is usually associated with terrorism in Germany...
    • acangiano 17y ago
      It's uncertain, but it's likely that whoever came up with the name, had one such episode while learning about the terrorist group.

    Oh please. It only looks odd because you can't notice the millions of times it didn't happen. It's in the same class as confirmation bias, survivor bias, etc.

      Of course it only looks odd. There is no magic to it.
