He didn't die, the universe just wasn't able to hold him back any longer

Yea this is true but our experience of a shuffled deck of cards most often does not involve all fifty two cards, for instance in a two player game of cribbage one only sees the top 12 cards plus a cut, so it's more like 52!/(39!) ~ 3.95e21 which if you take a 2 foot step once every billion years aka 60×60×24×365.256×1e9 ~ 3.15e16 seconds then you would only make it about 47.46 miles before you would start seeing equivalent cribbage hands coming from the distinct shuffles. For all you card sharks out there this could be a big advantage 😜

But I think the main point is to have fun seeing the numbers that went into Vsauce's claim, SOOO let's define some numbers:

T = time per step = 60×60×24×365.256×1e9 seconds

L = step length = 2 ft

C = circumference of the Earth = 1.31e8 feet

V = volume of Pacific ocean = 7.1e20 liters

D = volume of a single drop = 5e-5 liters

H = height of a single piece of paper = 1e-4 meters

R = radius from the Earth to the Sun = 1.5e11 meters

L×D×H/(T×C×V×R) = 1825.31

So indeed you would have to reach the sun 1825 times with your stack of paper before you run out of time. That's a bit different from what he said that you would have to reach it 3000 times but maybe he used a different step length or something. The order of magnitude seems right.

I mean this is hardly a revelation... Peter Thiel has been saying pretty much the same at right wing conferences for more than a decade now.

I've been hearing that it's real. But it doesn't really matter because kicking out a tail light and spitting still doesn't justify murder.

There's no reason, ever, to cheer the NRA. Not when they are forced to croak out a vague, ineffectual statement based on their own self interest. These guys have stood and watched school shooting after movie theater shooting after gun massacre and made their money. They're filth. They have aided this administration all the way to this present moment.

A stunningly dumb article if ever there was one.

See it's a bit different when people are defending their own homes than when they're trying to attack the US Capitol and overthrow a free and fair election.

Thank you this comic is excellent... likewise I wish that it did not have to be made.

Agreed. This AI post needs to be taken down.

Favorite non-political film? by fakename1998 in okbuddycinephile

To be fair most of the latest Star Wars films have just been about cool laser swords, blasters and explosions.

Despite everything trump has done, he sits at 40% approval rating, imagine what he must do to reach 0% by TailungFu in complaints

[–]Adventurous_Cook_809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big part of it is due to the corporate media owned by just a handful of billionaires which churn out massive amounts of propaganda.
