Just because a set is infinite does not mean that it will contain every possible permutation of something. That’s a common thought but a provably untrue one.

For example, there are infinite even numbers, and none of them are 3. Not a single one. If someone claimed that generating infinite even numbers would eventually return a 3, you wouldn’t take them seriously, and rightly so.

But here’s the rub: you can also generate infinite even numbers and never return a 2. Every time you generate an even number, there are infinite numbers that it could be. Even if you don’t allow numbers to repeat, it’s not like you are gonna exhaust the amount of non-2 even numbers.

Just because a set is infinite does not mean that it will contain every possible permutation of something.

So back to the typewriters. You might say that while there are infinite numbers, there are not infinite permutations of a string of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare.

And that’s true.

If you were to say that a string of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare (or longer) could never be repeated exactly, the yes they would type the works of Shakespeare.

But then they wouldn’t be typing randomly.

Randomness repeats. Infinite randomness can repeat infinitely.

And we are not dealing with strings of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare. We’re dealing with strings of characters of infinite length. And there are, in fact, infinite permutations of those.

So… Yeah.

There’s no logical basis for infinite monkeys typing infinitely, inevitably producing the works of Shakespeare. Or fecal dioramas or alternate universes where Spider-Man is real or whatever else. Doesn’t hold water.

I’ve seen Weebl videos. I’ve seen them with my eyes.

Fun fact, if John ever tries to buy enough stock to regain control of the company, everyone else’s stock will automatically divide to water down his shares because fuck John Schnatter

Chocolate, the kung fu movie about the girl with Taskmaster’s ability?

That’s a fun one, haven’t seen it in probably 15 years. I should do a rewatch.

Too bad they can’t just pick up a rando with mental health issues and lie, torture, and starve him in a room until he “confesses”

Gatekeeping amputees as not counting as people with disabilities is actually the hottest take in this whole thread, and not in a good way lmao

That is the ice-coldest of takes lmao

Oh fuck yeah, spread it

For anyone that didn’t know, Ayn Rand was a welfare queen 💅

Non-engagement is the only rational response to 90% of the Internet.

Check out Gargoyles too, that shit rules

It’s absolutely true, my friend. Only takes a minute.

They just wanna scare you out of cancelling.

I’m not even a vegetarian and I’ve heard way more fellow meat eaters fucking constantly bitching about vegans than I’ve ever heard vegans being annoying about it.

Just feels like whiny baby bullshit honestly.

So is the Necronomicon.

Coincidence? Who can say.
