I was talking to my daughter about her sick uncle and probabilities and the goddamn worst thing happened. I saw a dice on the table so I picked it up to demonstrate an improbable outcome.
I called “im going to roll a six” then rolled a 6. Well, thats unlikely but its a one in six chance. Highly unlikely i could do it again…
I rolled at least 6 6’s in a row. By the 5th I was convinced it was a loaded dice. I confirmed it is not a loaded dice on roll 7 or 8.
Fucking what the hell universe
This is not true except for very obvious trickery like placing the die.
If the dice “roll” in any meaningful way the outcome is completely random (except some die may favour some outcomes because of weight and balance issues). Even the tiniest variations in where they land, how they’re held, and how they’re thrown, create massive differences in outcomes. It’s not possible to change the odds through consistency, that’s the whole point of things like dice or double pendulums or any other such chaotic system.
