A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

the odds of randomly selecting 0 exactly an infinite number of times is exactly zero which is why OP is right
Probability of a=0 is (1/10)
Probability of both being 0:
then for n 0s
Pn = (1/10)^n
as n -> inf, Pn -> 0
put another way, (1/10)^inf = 0
