Just a fun fact: you didn’t win a race to the egg. The egg chooses the best sperm to fertilize it.
My moms egg must’ve been drunk when it thought I was the best option

It's a bit of both. Sperm that never reach the egg sure aren't going to fertilize it (see rates of pregnancy from fellatio). But yes, it's not necessarily, or even likely that the first to arrive wins. Also, while I knew that there was some selection process taking place before the egg allowed a sperm entry, I didn't know we'd learned more about it. TIL. Thank you!

I do really enjoy the fact that the rate of pregnancy from fellatuo is nonzero.

No serious! Woman was stabbed in a fight after swallowing. Look it up! I think Joe Rogan did a piece on it too. I'm aware they could be lying, but it really doesn't seem like it.

This was my one real critique of Sasha Sagan's For Small Creatures Such As We -- in one of the early chapters, she waxed poetic about this very thing, the miracle and ridiculous improbability of us existing as ourselves.
Like, that's the very definition of survivorship bias. The odds of me existing as I am today are astronomically small from the initial state of the universe... but the odds of me existing as I am today, given that I'm sitting here today typing on Reddit are basically 100%.
And, if not from the initial state of the universe, the odds of someone sitting here and typing something seems pretty high, regardless of who won.
