This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

I hit a random number of minutes then pull it based on the sound

How do you know the number you choose is truly random?

Do you not keep a 6-sided die next to your microwave? I thought everyone did that...

No dice roll is random because the outcome of the roll has been determined before it was rolled. You were always going to roll it that same way except in an alternative reality where you rolled in every conceivable way, which you do not live in because you are in this reality and you rolled in the observed way.
