  The part that still baffles me is the whiplash message-swap from “she didn’t cater to us, so she lost” to “well, there aren’t enough of us to make a difference.”

  Also of note is the trend towards “I voted for her, but I didn’t like it” in spaces that I clearly remember seeing full of advocates of voting third party or abstaining. Someone should maybe check to see if all of these mysterious new votes were counted!

  I like “infintiny” as a replacement for “infinitesimal”

  The birthday problem fits into this somehow, but I can’t quite get there right now. Something like an inverse birthday problem to illustrate how, even though the probability of two monkeys typing the same letter rises quickly as more monkeys are added to the mix, and at a certain point (n+1, where n is “possible keystrokes”) it is inevitable that at least two monkeys will key identically, the inverse isn’t true.

  If you have 732 people in a room, there’s no guarantee that any one of them was born on August 12th.

  There’s another one that describes this better but it escapes me.

  Misread this as “Boeing engineer friend” and immediately thought they’d probably benefit from more than just a wingman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gathering all the trash to launch it into the sun isn’t easy, as many comments have pointed out. Not only do you have to counteract the velocity of Earth, but I’d expect you’d need a way to keep them alive on the trip there as well. I mean, I’m assuming you want them to be cognizant until the end, yeah?

  True, much like memes are pretty famously fabricated.

  Civ IV was peak Civ for me. The changes made going into V just didn’t feel like Civ.

  Yes, that includes the loss of doomstacks.
