Ridesharing (in theory, at least) gets cars off the road by letting you request a carpool only if you need it. But if you’re still not sold on ridesharing apps like Lyft (and maybe you shouldn’t be), consider this: If you offer to share your car, there’s a slim chance that your next pickup could be Conan O’Brien, Ice Cube, and Kevin Hart.

Well, OK, to be fair, the chances are NOW approximately zero, since they’ve already done this bit. But still, you can live in hope that joining the sharing economy could mean getting fake-robbed by Ice Cube, making fun of Conan’s butt, drinking 40s, and then having Kevin Hart get you a girl’s phone number.
