I don’t believe in a higher power, but I had a moment that kinda feels that it could have been. Around 2004, I was driving on the interstate at 2 in the morning to pick up a friend who was stranded. I was in the leftmost lane and no one else was on the road nearby. For whatever reason, I shifted over to the middle lane without really thinking about it. Not 30 seconds later, what I presume was a drunk driver came barreling down the road heading the wrong way in the lane I had just moved over from. It didn’t even register to me what had happened until the car had passed me. I had my ex in the car next to me and we both just kind of freaked out when the realization hit.

Just because you don’t know why digital camouflage exists doesn’t mean it has no practical purpose.
