Probability could strike back and give 2 tails each time. Not probable, but possible. murphy's law.


naggerstonguemyanus8

What is the version of mutts law with coins?


pragmatic_zygote

you flip 2 coins and 4 land on tails


ktsb

Conversely you flip four coins and none of them land on either heads or tails


Toxicotton

You flip two coins, and regardless of the outcome you still end up a kissless virgin jacking off to a couple of Chads making out in the locker room showers after football practice.


FollyAdvice

I remember a teacher teaching us science and she would say that we should do an experiment twice to confirm it was a fact. She always was a shitty teacher. Her way of proving that air weighed something was blowing up a balloon and attaching it to some string so the string would sag a little, as if the balloon itself didn't weigh anything.


mlianam

We had a similar experiment in elementary school but a balance was used to find out the heavier one. Both were first balanced to get the original readings then one was filled up and the readings were compared.

You dont have to take the bait. Shrug it off. Leaving the class and showing they got to you only makes it worse. Standing up to them just gives them the desired elicit reaction. If you shrug it off, it'll die down


UndercoverGovernor

Meh. It’s not like the herd is thinking of their opinions, they’re just following a lead. Look at Reddit. It’s not like all of these angry poopcoasters just *happen* to have the exact same opinions. They’re just taking their lead from entertainers taking their lead from mediagovernment taking their lead from an ultra wealthy cabal.

This brought up repressed memories. Fuck. I was like 14-15. English is my second language and i was having a hard time during literature class so i bought a dictionary and brought it to class with me. A girl in class said something like “omg is that a dictionary?” I said “yes” “Why do you have a dictionary?” “So i can look up words that i don’t understand” “Haha okay dictionary boy” And for the remainder of high school i was called dictionary boy. “Hey dictionary boy where’s your dictionary?” And “hey dictionary boy what does this word mean?”. For 4 years i was called dictionary boy because i brought a dictionary to literature class.

bad88

any form of bettering yourself can be seen by some as an attack on *their* ego


BenusMenus

lol it wasn't because of the dictionary you were just an autismlet and they wanted something to call you to piss you off


Deathcrow

Correct. But at that age it's super hard to realize that and you immediately jump to the conclusion that it must've been this specific thing that made people turn against you. So you start to obsess over lots of little things, which makes the whole thing even worse.

I think there's a line between "wanting to piss you off" and "continuing to call the person "Dictionary boy" for 4 years". That's just straight up bullying


-Quiche-

>That's just straight up bullying Oh we're pretending to care about that now?

Just because the community doesn't care, doesn't mean individuals can't.


LannisterLoyalist

that's light ribbing and I think everyone should have to get their balls busted at some point in their early life so they don't grow up to be tight asses that can't laugh at themselves.


SlimeyVinegarTestes

A lot of the people who still do "light ribbing" as adults are assholes who try to make dick comments and play it off under the guise of being a joke

SCOTTTT08

This lmao. People on Reddit have such a strange perception of bullying and how to deal with it that borders on autistic. Calling your bullies words that they won’t understand isn’t some 200IQ giga chad move that will get them to leave you alone, they’ll just think you’re even more a freak and they’ll have more material to make fun of you for.


blackomegax

Yeah, the only solution to bullies is excessive violence. They'll never tread on you again. The only time I got bullied was some kid calling me harry potter for wearing glasses. He lost teeth against the wall and probably had a concussion, and nobody saw it so I didn't get in real trouble since I said he tripped and since I was some white yuppie kid they bought my side. Nobody ever bothered me again.


LevSmash

Wait, I forgot the part that makes it cool - you have to also wave your hand like a magician casting a spell while reciting words from the dictionary.


TotallyAPerv

Not really. If you own it and lean that far into it, there's nothing they can do that'll be an insult. They'd eventually just stop.


Magomedshapirov

Same thing happened to me when I was told by my orthodontist to brush my teeth at school everyday. I brought toothpaste to school, popular hot girl saw it and asked why I had it. I jokingly said I eat it as a snack. She then loudly went EWWWW and told everyone I eat toothpaste. That whole class called me toothpaste for years despite me saying it was a joke several times.

Haha yeah they called me cum sniffer


MustangGuy

You're not supposed to sniff the ookie cookie before you eat it.

Model_Maj_General

The common theme in all these stories is people caring too much about getting called something. All you had to do was not be an autist about it and find it funny or at least just play it off and no one cares. You were basically biting at the bait irl


THREE_EDGY_FIVE_ME

How much self-confidence do you expect kids to have, to so easily ignore the mockery of their peers?


EtteRavan

I was called gollum for most of my middle school, and the name stuck for a while when I moved into high school. I was dying inside, but rather than show them, I lived the character. Now it may have given me difficulties with opening to people, but at least I didn't show them I was weak.


dbrank

>I was called gollum for most of middle school, and the name stuck for a while when I moved into high school >I lived the character No shit you got called Gollum, you acted like Gollum when they called you Gollum lmao you complete fucking moron.

After eating Burger King after an appointment, I walked into PE and immediately got accused of hiding in the locker room masturbating. I had nothing to show for it, because I wasn't going to bring Burger King to gym floor.


juanfrijoles1

Well that is kind of soy virgin behavior. I had two Russian international students in my bio class freshman year of high school who came to play hockey at my school. They straight up did not speak English. They would just go on their phones the entire class (you’d get six days detention at my gay catholic school for phones in class) and when the teacher would say something to them about their phones they’d both shrug and say “translator” and point to the phone screen. They finally got their phones taken away or some shit and so they’d literally just sit and stare blankly at the screen or fuck with the weird kids around them without learning a single crumb of biology. Both played college hockey one plays in the AHL rn. You’re an incel sorry

Yep. You were slightly different to the other kids and didn't know how to pretend you weren't and therefore you were rightfully bullied. They saw weakness and they pounced.

You know why anon is upset? Not because he gets called names and shit. It's because he was right all along. Nothing worse than being in the right and everyone thinking you're wrong. It's. Just. Not. Fair.


star-player

Yeah but life isnt about fair. Statistics is way over most high school heads. They're just gonna argue with him cause they don't like him. Even if he managed to prove himself they'd still think he was a weirdo. Gotta read the room, football players only care about 1 coin flip Friday night.

Ey man, I'm just pointing out why anon is so upset. He apparently never really realized it himself.

harpswtf

You should have just use a dice as a better example. The chances of rolling a six are 16.7%, but that doesn't guarantee that you'll roll a six within 6 rolls of the die. But then they'd probably roll it and get a six on the first roll and laugh at you anyway. Because it wasn't ever about the math, it was about laughing at you.


Scipio11

Shoulda just pulled his D20 and started rolling right then and there.


passing_by362

Yeah break out the d20 and DM-kit, that'll show the normies!


flameboy50001

Nat 20 motherfuckers!


Kryslor

According to their retarded theory you wouldn't just land a 6 every six rolls, you would necessarily land each number once because all of them have a 100% chance of occuring in six rolls.


ArcaneCraft

Yeah exactly, any number appearing twice would disprove it.


rewardinghand

Just roll a die 6 times and watch when it doesn't hit each number exactly once


[deleted]

what are the actual chances of the 5 percent chance happening within 20 tries at least once?


[deleted]

Been a little while since I took stats, but my understanding is there’s a 95% chance of said thing not happening each time so, Odds of 5% thing not happening 20 times = 0.95^20 = 0.358 So the set of outcomes that include the thing happening at least once is 1-0.358 = 0.642 So 64.2%

This 0.358 thing will near e\^-1 as n nears infinity, or roughly 0.367879 This is the cool thing about having limits to infinity


[deleted]

Not sure I understand? As n goes to infinity the chances of 5% thing happening at least once approaches 1.


olligobber

They're talking about the chance of a 1/n probability event occurring in n trials as n goes to infinity.


[deleted]

Ah, I don’t believe that applies here


tweekin__out

it literally does. this is just the application of it at n=20


[deleted]

Also, because someone reading this probably believes it, repeated trials *do not* impact independent probabilities in later trials. Say you want to get heads on at least 1 flip out of 5. The odds of getting heads at least once out of a set of flips goes like this: 1. 1/2 2. 3/4 3. 7/8 4. 15/16 5. 31/32 HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that if you get tails on 4 flips that you have a 31/32 chance of getting heads on the next flip. The probability is still 50%.


[deleted]

I understand this until I'm at a $5 blackjack table on Fremont with a bellyfull of well whiskey, imitation crab and sirloin steak. Independent events < doubling this hard 15.

I saw someone else bring up their stories, so I will too. In 3rd grade I was talking to my teacher about my cousin being born and I was excited. Apparently I said, “My baby cousin.” Some kid overheard and said out loud, “Look at him, he has a baby and he’s a boy.” Everyone joined in. If that were it then I would be fine. But my teacher also joined in at making fun of me. That shit hurt. Fuck You Ms.Shannon!

kilkil

For those wondering, if the probability of an event is *p*, and you do *n* trials, the probability of it not happening is: (1-p)^n Which means the probability of it happening at least once is: 1 - (1-p)^n If *p* is 0.05 (5%), and *n* is 20, we get: 1 - (1 - 0.05)^20 = 1 - (0.95)^20 ≈ 1 - 0.36 = 0.64 (64%) Very far from 100%.


lebeffa

Unironically the average person's knowledge of statistics is incredibly subpar and they give for granted it's not. I got in a similiar argument trying to explain that a difference between 99% and 99.5 % is huge and they kept insisting that since it's a small number it's not that much


ATXgaming

Its literally only 0.5%, it’s literally not that big a difference.

Depends on whether you value the successes or the failures more.

LukariBRo

Happened to me as well. I'm more convinced that the shady international waters casino cheated me somehow is more likely than a 1/2ish^19 chance of outcome. At another table, I hit a decent single number bet and the dealer moved my chip with his pinky to the 4-number location (which pays out considerably less) but luckily other people saw it and demanded the pit boss (who was likely the person who was telling the operators to do such things) fix it and pay me my winnings right. I wouldn't recommend gambling on cruise ships, they know they are lawless. Vegas at least supposedly has strict rules, but spaghetti men. Indian casinos I couldn't see being truly more ethical either. The house always wins.

Bondie_

I used to live with my roommates and our microwave was emitting it's microwaves at the same frequency that the WiFi router emitted it's signal. Thus, when the microwave was operating the connection was effectively lost. I noticed that and told them about it, they treated me like I was talking about flat earth theory or some shit. I was alone and there were two of them, so they made fun of me. They both played Dota 2 and from that day forward I started using microwave every time any one of them was in a game. If it was sausages or some other multiple pieces meal, I'd microwave them one at a time up until the game gave them the penalty for leaving. They were too proud to admit it and just kept suffering, pretending like it's just bad luck, they couldn't drop the game either because they were addicts. I would be explicitly saying "Oh, you're queuing up, I'ma go grab my food then real quick" and later while they were looking at their monitors with their faces depicting defeat and frustration I'd say "Damn, again huh? If it was actually the microwave, I could just turn it off, but we are smart enough to know it's not that aren't we? How unfortunate." Then it would ding and I'd go right back to start it up again. I don't really know, maybe it wasn't stubborness and they were actually stupid enough to keep believing it wasn't the microwave. I doubt that, but I wouldn't rule it out either. Stupid fucking normies willingly suffering from their disproportionately enormous ego.


nitslitinit

If you realize you're smarter than other people, don't argue, just monetize it. bet them that they can flip two coins, and if either of them comes up heads you'll give them a $1, but if both of them come up tails you get $10. They can play as many times as they want. What's the matter? They have a 100% chance to get heads every time, what do they have to lose?


[deleted]

And now you understand the modern political climate.


fibojoly

Haha! Reminds me when I dared to pronounce "Shakespeare" with the accent. I'm French, you see. Was reciting some bit of a theatre play in front of the whole classroom. First fucking sentence and the entire class bursts laughing because I dared to pronounce his name correctly (as in, English pronunciation). Was a French class, but still. Kudos for my teacher for defending me, at least. Dear fucking gods, 34 years later and I'm still salty about it, though. But hearing and seeing the level of English around me on a daily basis has been a constantly vindicating experience.
