If you missed the maths in the replies, my maths was fucked, every COMBINATION is not every ORDER is not every TASTE, and we're after TASTEs here, example: First penny: Pineapple, raspberry, orange, lemon and watermelon Second penny: Raspberry, watermelon, orange, pineapple and lemon That's the same combination in a different order that results in the same taste, and it's the tastes that are important to this machine's thesis, all we did there was flick the same five beans around until they got jumbled up but the taste is identical So the maths is off by orders of magnitude, alright, so how much does that change the outcome? It doesn't change it in the slightest because you will STILL DIE you will encounter more fleeting tastes than you can remember and then DIE of Too Much Jellybeans this is what this machine offers for just one penny another reason I can't let it out of the house

Now if a doctor wants to join the mathematicians and say 🐺 Actually Dan you're wrong about that as well, you probably won't die, I think you'd live, I think you'd get some powers, I'd be open to that, I'm good at being wrong, I've practiced a lot

@ifixcoinops@retro.social I still think you should IPO, it would be irresponsible to artificially prevent information about this incredibly powerful object from reaching the financial markets just because it would be 'unsafe' or 'nonsensical'

@ifixcoinops@retro.social its flavours choose beans in math terms!! I only caught the end of this but did you consider concentrations of each flavour?? Two lemon one lime is surelydifferent from one lemon one lime Ignore me!!

@ifixcoinops@retro.social I don't know if this story is aproxeupihful but a person once died drinking too much water. If true this is genuinely tragic but I believe it was to win a wii :(

@ifixcoinops@retro.social I dunno, order kinda matters for the taste. A pineapple hitting your tongue first will prime you for tartness, but a raspberry first should be more sweet, no? Might depend on how quick you mash them all together. We'll really need a lengua-ist with a focus in tasteology on the team to track down the real numbers.
