      I don’t know man, that’s pretty random. I mean do you think you can predict the next numbers in the sequence just from the ones already there? Would have to predict the next batch, the way I made these come in batches. I can’t exactly produce 1 number at a time from banging on my number-pad.

        I can make an educated guess what numbers are most likely, yes.

        For example, you have no repeat number sequences, so I can take a guess that the number 2 is less likely to be next.

        Humans have certain tendencies that makes them want to make a number only seem more random. Also, you’ve probably seen those mentalists correctly guessing seemingly random stuff. Tells you enough how easily people are fooled into thinking something specific, so random can you actually be.

          you can just throw a coin x times and here you go true randomness and in convenient binary too

          computers can’t fathom our coin tossing abilities

          though truth to be said it’s more because we are just so bad at tossing coins. not even AI can predict the result of what will happen when we start to throw shit around

          I bet it is even more random when you throw a coin while being inebriated.

          Actually say random numbers when you are drunk shitless and they will be random. Checkmate
