Semi-related factoid: every time you shuffle a deck of cards, it is EXTREMELY LIKELY the deck has never in existence been arranged the same way.
a factoid is something that is commonly believed to be true but isn't, which I guess this kinda is because it's not just extremely likely. there is a 1/80658175170943878571660636856403766975289505440883277824000000000000 chance that it's been arranged that way before. 52!
Ahhhh I’ve been ignorant about the definition of factoid!
Also I read your post as if you had exclaimed at the end: FIFTY TWO
haha that's what I was thinking when I typed it tbh, also the meaning of factoid has changed but was originally meant as I had claimed, see my other comment if you want the context :)
Aha! Then, while I’m a huge fan of original meanings of words (AN IMAGE MACRO IS NOT A MEME UNLESS IT DEPICTS A MEME AAAAA), I will continue to use the nü-version of the word FACTOID!
