@_ @SuricrasiaOnline this is tragic
@_ @SuricrasiaOnline oh no 🙁
@_ @SuricrasiaOnline boooooooo
@SuricrasiaOnline not anymore? Strange, can't reproduce. But lordy, that's world-class trolling.

@SuricrasiaOnline When I ask Wolfram Alpha questions, I *usually* end up sorry I asked. It's extremely rare that it actually ends up interpreting my question correctly, let alone giving me a useful answer.
@SuricrasiaOnline I think the only query I've gotten a good answer from WA for is "mass of moon in cheese". It gave me the nutrition facts for a ball of cheese the mass of the moon. Which is what I wanted!

Wolfram alpha, it's fits to my idea of that service.
Some nerdy, scientific.
@SuricrasiaOnline Thats just math hating me for existing

I mean I heard digit is also a bone of the hand. I looked for digit and random and found 6 sense of digit-> https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/digit
One is finger or toe
And random has also 4 definitions as an adjektive. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/random
One is: „being or relating to a set or to an element of a set each of whose elements has equal probability of occurrence“
