Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 for the Phijkchu starts a farming YT channel arc
Will I be in charge of the farming yet channel?

We were at first discussing how it would be funny to take 3 phijkchu who have no buisness flipping a house and make them stream fixing up a completely broken house
this evovled into the suggestion of having phijkchu make a farm, but specifically you are not allowed to work on it so you get more and more mad at getting excluded at your perfect task
That is also a good idea
He can only do it by walkie talkie from a room with crt monitors
Google leaked their future of material design webpage early
imo, this is the first time Material design has ever started to approach looking good
in general, it's moving away from <breaks> and padding, and rather embraces overlapping/layered elements
no idea, images load for me
I can DL a couple and post them
one sec
Okay yeah, it was not loading for me either lmao
I was trying to figure out what Spooky was talking about
it's keeping the same Material bars and floaters
but not padding page elements around them
that's my overall summary
I think Material design has been a blight for the last ~10 years it's been forcibly pushed to the mainstream
I still don't love it, but I think this gets designs back to being less sterile and corporate looking

Happy birthday to all the Nazis and First Responders out there
totally not cope
I feel like I made this same mistake last year too
Honestly, can we just change it to today Mini
to overshadow Gent's
It is kind of cool we have 4 Phijkchu birthdays back-to-back-to-back this week though

You definitely did

@Phijkchu_Pikachu what are the odds of this?
It's not *that* long of odds
if you say there are 30-50 people in the cult who are notable enough that we track birthdays for, there being 2 sequential days somewhere is ~50%
so 4 (or more) will be somewhere in the single digits
probably 5-7%
if someone reveals they have a July 2nd birthday, we'll have two different 4-in-a-row runs
Rob and Space have the same birthday (Phijkchu adjacent)
No other doubles
though I know my list is somewhat lacking, because I fuck up the settings when I add things to my calendar often
Are you also Aug 14th?
yeah, I think he always shifted it around a bit to happen on a day he was streaming/uploading
I'm 99% sure it's actually the 14th, with DaniDipps on the 15th right after
though I could also just be wrong!
mini google the birthday paradox
it will blow your mind
I have no idea if this reasoning is correct, and probably overcounts, but say you have 50 notable people in the cult (huge stretch), first person does not matter (they will always have a birthday on a date). For the next person, you have to choose 1 (so 49 choices) and you have to pick one of the days on either side of the person (so 2/365). Do this for the subsequent people, and I think the formula for 50 people having 4 consequetive days is something like (49)(48)(47)(2^3)/(365^4) ~ 1.8%
I am really bad at counting problems though, probably my worst area of mathematics
Generalized if my formula is correct, to (n-1)!/(n-k)! (2/365)^(k-1) where n is the number of people, k is the desired length of the chain
I think your formula undercounts, but I don't really know why
I hate probability questions
I think it's related to having to account for collisions of other birthdays
You are probably right Spooky, but I think just saying for 50 people it is ~5% is good enough!
agree
We need a month-long personality lock feature
that could be fun
