Can this puzzling concept and formula somehow be applied to determine how many permutations you have to go through to be sure to find the correct, unscrambled words in a typical "Jumble Puzzle"?        :-)

LOL. Earlier today I heard someone on National Progressive Radio refer to 4chan as a ‘pro trump site.’ 4chan.org has been around since Feb 14, 2004.

I loved The Melancholy, and yes, I am something of a wannabe Anime weeb. Some amazing stories.

4chan is pro Trump partially because us autists recognize one of our own. Trump is very high functioning but he is definitely on the spectrum.

It has pro trump members indeed, but it wasn’t created as the npr piece seemed to imply, to be developed as a ‘pro trump’ site.

I think an erstwhile TimeLord is bored and is hanging out on 4chan.

I’ve been on 4Chan since 2008.

I was only there because there was a “crazy” Dragonball forum and I’m a super fan of it. That’s where it started. 4Chan only geared to the right AFTER obama got elected in 08 and I later got hooked on non-anime stuff like politics. Better than Reddit on most times because they really get into it.

Remember the time when Shia Lebouf tried to hide his stupid flag? In real time, I saw it unfold in 3 days where one user PM’d me where the nearest airport was after LAX, and he was triangulating the flight paths.

Same here. I’m an otaku myself LOL and most of my GF’s got into it. However, i draw the line with this costume crap at A/X and I’ve been there probably 3 of the last 6 years because i have dealings with Funimation.

Ive been seriously thinking of making my own anime and manga threads because you’re not the only anime Freeper . There’s a lot here..

The answer is “1.” Unless Schrödinger’s cat is in the vicinity, then the answer is “2.”

Ok, if I do, you’re on the Ping list. I may come back to making the UPOTTE manga thread about girls turning into guns (AK 47, AR ETC) and vice versa XD

In National Treasure, Reilly is given a random sequence of letters, enters them in sequence, then runs an algorithm to determine rational options based on recognized words and separated multiple recognized words.

This is the Kernel.
