    1 a day? I feel like a lot of people might not ever get to see it. You’d go a large portion of your life always hearing about it, seeing stories in the news, one of your friend’s relatives was squished by it. But then one day you’re minding your business on your way to work when it shows up and crushes the car in front of you.

    Looks like you get to call off from work. You just witnessed The Hand. Go ahead and take a day to collect your senses.

      Cars kill more than 3500 people every day and we don’t seem to care. This hand is benevolent by comparison

        I understand. You’re saying we should worship the hand. All hail the Hand! For the Hand is benevolent!

          lo how he punisheth the wicked who by thought or action hath kindled the wrath of the eternal judge. The sins of man unknown to his brother shall be sown again into the earth. By his hand we are raised and so to by the hand my we fall

            I’d imagine the hand’s interaction would tell people a lot too.

            like, if it just flicked your head off your shoulders, or grabbed you by the foot and took you 400 feet up and dropped you, or whether it splatted you like a fly…

      I mean the average person doesn’t even see 30,000 days in their lifetime. At the rate of one a day, lightning is more of a threat to people - https://www.neuralword.com/en/education-history-science-general-culture-society/science-nature/how-many-people-are-striked-by-lightning-annually-around-the-world.

      Even if the hand existed, the odds of you even knowing someone who died by it are really slim.
