  I did this with sentences as a kid, come up with the most random stuff and think, "I'm probably the first person to ever say that" >
  
  I do it when I cut down trees. I stand on the stump and say “I’m the only person in the universe that’s ever stood right here!” >
  
  I pour foundations.  Many times I've thought I'm the first/only person to stand here, touch this dirt, pee here, etc. >
  
  Please don’t pee in my foundation >
  
  Oh yeah, every concrete basement foundations corners have been urinated on, likely by many men. Many, many, many, many men. >
  
  Were they wishin’ death 'pon me? >
  
  Rainin’ pee ‘pon me >
  
  Pee’s burnin’ my eyes and now I can’t see >
  
  I still fought, despite my disability >
  
  But the pee's clouding my reality >
  
  47,334,923,912 is my non fungible number. Please don't copy and paste it thanks >
  
  47,334,923,912, sorry mate >
  
  😤 well now I have a new one. Go ahead.. try to guess it >
  
  I’m gonna code a program to brute force your number. It will cycle through all the possible numbers >
  
  num=1,000,000,000;
  while(true):
      num+=1
      print(num)
  Now we wait >
  
  curly brace gang rise up
  ```
  include 
  int main () {
      int num = 1000000000;
      while (true) {
          printf("%d\n", num);
          num++;
      }
      return 0;
  }

  Don’t forget to add new lines or risk your output being absolutely unreadable >
  
  I was just using pseudo code for the funnies!
  Now I am waiting for the machine code chads to come in with full optimisations for speed >
  
  What is the size of int on the machine you’re using? On certain architectures it can only go to 32727, and the rest will have undefined behavior (but probably wrap around) at 2147483647 >
  
  Buying tbow 2147m, meet my main bournos in cammy >
  
  I wonder what the lowest number that no one's ever spoken is. >
  
  Are we talking real numbers, or the other kind, without the decimals?  Because there are more numbers in between zero and one than there are to infinity >
  
  There's the same amount of numbers in both, infinity. >
  
  If there's the same amount 
  Pair one decimel to every whole number, take the first digital in tur first decimel, add one, thrn add one to the second on the second, then the third of the third all the way down the list
  You have a new decimel. There's more decimel numbers between 0 and 1 than whole numbers >
  
  Huh, interesting. >
  
  I knew binging every single vsauce video would come in handy! >
  
  There's a really good documentary about infinity on Netflix if you have it, highly recommended >
  
  Yea I do, what's it called?
  (If it's called infinity istg) >
  
  Ha, close
  'A trip to infinity" >
  
  That's a long trip
  Almost as long as how roadtrips feel
  And thanks! Il check it out >
  
  Reminds me of that QI bit about a shuffled deck of cards.
  Apparently the order of any shuffled deck of cards is, in the history of the world, unique. >
  
  Very likely unique, but there is a (very slim) chance you shuffle to an order that already occured. >
  
  Roughly a 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance 
  To put that in to perspective, if you started shuffling cards into each unique order, once every minute, since the Big Bang, you’d still be going. In fact you wouldn’t even be halfway through. You wouldn’t even be a quarter of the way through. You’d be going until the sun collapsed, and even then you’d still not be finished. >
  
  Probability is scary >
  
  That's more than 80,600,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000 possible ways to shuffle the deck >
  
  Actually the total number of ways to shuffle a deck is only 52! >

  Can anyone do the math on that. Like if there are about 2 billion seconds in a lifetime, how many people would it take for the minimum amount of people to say every number between 1 billion and 999,999,999,999 >
  
  Assuming 5 seconds to say a number the 2 billion second lifetime and no brakes (no sleep, no eating, just counting) it's about 2500 lifetimes. >
  
  At first I called BS, then I considered and recorded myself saying 48,317,603 and it took 3.65 seconds, and considering 1-100 are all said in about a second or less, and saying 888,888,889 taking 5.09 seconds to say, I'd say 5 seconds per number is quite fair.
  Bravo to whoever put that out there first >
  
  As a kid sometimes when I was staring at the moon I'd think to myself that there must be at least one other person looking at it at the same time and also thinking the same thing, creating somewhat of a temporary bond.
