    Yeah, it always seems that every time someone questions the wisdom or validity of this analogy seems not to understand it.

    It’s either the misunderstanding that the constraints of the hypothetical are finite (a million vs. infinity).

    Or the insistence that any sufficiently infinitesimal chance is “practically zero”, when literally any likelihood multiplied by infinity is going to guarantee an occurrence.

    You can actually expand the infinite monkey theory to say that an infinite number of monkeys using typewriters for an infinite amount of time would write every single book ever written in any language the keyboard is capable of typing, as well as every possible book that could ever even theoretically exist, an infinite number of times, and still be correct.

    Any infinite set of random (or even semi-random) characters will contain every possible set of characters that could ever exist, of any length. The works of Shakespeare are also encoded into Pi, we just haven’t calculated enough digits to discover one yet (and very likely never will).












  • Man, this is an incredibly low bar for “cyberpunk”.

    The electric bike has been around 128 years, and being electric isn’t even important. Guns have been around roughly a thousand years. This could have happened literally anytime in American history. The most high-tech part of this story is that it was caught on CCTV.

    Wake me when someone gets poisoned by fentanyl delivered by a drone something actually cyberpunk. Like, the gun should be 3D printed, and the getaway vehicle needs to be an eVTOL for this story to be considered cyberpunk.

    The small number of comments like yours with extreme downvote counts against the absolute deluge of celebratory posts has me feeling pretty fucked about the entire Lemmy community. I understand people’s poor opinions of the health insurance industry, but this mass endorsement of murdering their executives is not a good turn for this community.

    It doesn’t even serve our causes. It doesn’t get us any closer to universal healthcare, or price caps on lifesaving care, or healthcare ethics reforms, or any of the other things that actually need to happen.

    With a second Trump term starting next month, if the accelerationist lunatics begging for more dead CEOs gets their way, you’re going to see some of the most horrific state violence imaginable as our new fascist kakistocracy zeros in on their “enemy within” boogyman.

    On the note of actually giving a shit about healthcare outcomes, nobody on Lemmy seems to be organizing against the status quo. There are no communities here about unfair health insurance decisions, and medical bankruptcy. Generally speaking, Lemmy has a progressive view on healthcare, but very little interest in organizing about it materially.

    But when a CEO gets murdered, the Tankies come out en masse to tell us that shooting and killing a father of 2 is actually heroism or something.

    It’s just pure violent hatred, and while I understand where people’s anger comes from, I don’t think I’m going to stick around this place much longer if this kind of rhetoric is going to be treated as normal. If this is how the general userbase of Lemmy actually thinks, I’ll show myself the door and find people who aren’t pieces of shit.

    Just wanted you to know, despite the downvotes you’re getting, you are completely fucking right and everyone else who has decided that this is the time to cause a scene can hopefully get banned.



  • No joke, having a big dick has always seemed bad. Women really only seem to like it as a novelty, but otherwise report strong dissatisfaction with an oversized partner.

    Something like 7-8 inches is what most women consider ideal, with way more acceptance for smaller penises than large ones.

    I guess if you want to be a fuckboy or work in porn, a monster cock might be advantageous, but my understanding is that it’s awful if you want to provide long-term sexual satisfaction to a partner.
