a far simpler way to look at it is that every time you (or anyone else) shuffles a deck of cards, is the first time that particular order of cards has ever existed

Put down the aderall, brah!

No one is asking the important questions. Where is the water going?

Here is something else very odd:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ... to infinity = -(1/12)
That's right, the sum of all positive integers is a small negative fraction.
That's a hot button topic in the mathematics world. Ultimately, the answer to that summation is positive infinity, but if you MUST attach a sensible number to it, -1/12 is the one to use.

Yeah, but that doesn't quite put 52! into the proper context.

I somehow would have understood this MORE if I was high

let's discuss how long 52! seconds would last.

Solid math joke IMO

No it isn't. That's one of the worst mathematical "proofs" I've ever seen. I'm almost positive they made that video as a troll and damn did they ever nail it.

Now reach into the Pacific Ocean and remove a drop (.05 ml) of water. Resume your one step per billion years around the equator, removing one drop from the Pacific Ocean every time you return to your starting spot, until the ocean is empty.

Maybe not every time; when you first shuffle a brand new deck of cards without changing the preloaded order there's a pretty good chance that order has been achieved before. It would take a few shuffles to completely randomize the order for future shuffles to be unique.

What are the chances they get it right?

If they ask my 9 year old to do a tape diagram on this I will be done.

If you were good at math, you'd have finished.

Nah. If I was worse at drinking, I would have finished.
