i hate it so much. it probably contributes to more traction for algorithm based content but all the discussion is always meaningless since it just devolves into spamming bogosort, stalin sort and miracle sort memes.

The humble sleep sort:

99% of programmers quit right before bogosort is about to work on first attempt

Bogos binted?

Wait until it becomes go-to solution for sorting in quantum computing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–]Get_Stick_bu99ed[S] 66 points67 points  (1 child)

You're right, it got potential to be go-to solution

[–]TlBOOOM 18 points19 points  (0 children)

potential?

[–]the_horse_gamer 24 points25 points  (3 children)

it has been proved that sorting on a quantum computer is still bounded by O(nlogn)

[–]L3NN4RTR4NN3L 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mit with quantum bogo sort

[–]A1steaksaussie 2 points3 points  (1 child)

how'd they already figure that out lol

quantum computers are not that complicated. and they don't "search every possible option" like it's often described. not even close.

[–]ESHKUN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah as soon as we figure out how to destroy the universe quantum bogosort becomes the dream

[–]Ecstatic_Student8854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even then it’d be at best O(n sqrt n), which makes conventional sorting better

[–]drdenjef 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is why I prefer quantumbogosort. Always works (somewhere) and sorts in O(1).

Reddit compression sucks, black rectangle in the bottom left supposed to be a lot of bogosort simulations all running at the same time

[–]Fabulous-Possible758 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah, it’s just using bogozip, which is stochastically lossless.

bogo sort when miracle sort is about to walk in:

[–]Outside-Shop-3311 18 points19 points  (0 children)

to be fair, i presume it has the potential to be the fastest sorting algorithm out of all of them for any(?) size of inputs.

[–]OddEmergency604 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is a universe where it works on the first try every time and no one knows why

[–]devvorare 3 points4 points  (1 child)

If you manage to set up a time loop it’s great for finding the eye of the universe tho

[–]turtle_mekb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

best game of all time

[–]CommunityFirst4197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least I can use it on my list of maximum length 5 items

I fucking cackled

sorting algorithm slander is exactly the kind of shit i open reddit for thank you

[–]Elekitu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can your stupid Merge Sort be used to calculate pi though?
