Let’s say 99.99% of the World’s population had not heard of them before this happened, and I think those numbers are very generous.

Does anyone seriously believe that after this event only 0.01% of the World didn’t learn about them?

You’re taking showerthoughts way too literally. It’s an exaggeration. The number didn’t “reverse” but it definitely multiplied. Businesses were impacted and who works for businesses? People who probably never heard of cloudstrike until it shut them down. It grounded flights and every person in an airport since then have probably heard the name. Anyone with a news app on their phone probably got a notification and know the company now. The number has drastically increased and that’s the point, not that it specifically “reversed.”

Maybe he should have put the thing that did happen as the title.

But that’d be kind of boring, wouldn’t it.

Not only is this showerthoughts, as you pointed out, but the person posting never provided numbers for those that were previously aware of crowdstrike. Any attempt to do so by those responding takes the statement beyond it’s intention.

Does anyone seriously believe

Yes. My assumption is of course that this shower thought is presenting a numerical fact, and that everyone upvoting believes it in a literal sense.

It’s a dumb take that’s incredibly boring presented any other way. The only thing interesting here is how dumb it is when presented this way.
