    45 minutes bah. With cat > /dev/null I can “read” her slop novel in 0.001 seconds. She’ll never be able to keep up either.

      with cat /dev/urandom > mybook.txt i can write an entire novel in just a few seconds! i call it the infinite monkey method

      in fact you better stop the command after a few seconds or else your computer will crash trying to open it

              Fucking hell. There’s literally no original combination of words anymore. I’ve been plagiarized in advance.

              Also, it’s kind of creepy that you would do this to me…

                Sorry. I’ve deleted it.

                Also, that website doesn’t actually store all possible permutations of letters, that would be absurd. It’s just clever math and presentation to simulate such a library.

                Still, you can search for any text string and receive an index number showing where to find it (the number alone is ~1MB in size).
                And if you enter that index, you’ll always get back to that same page containing your text.
                Or you can select books and pages at random and browse to see if you find something interesting.

                It’s a neat piece of mathematical art.

                    You couldn’t store every page if you transformed every atom that ever existed in the universe into a 100 TB hard drive, and it wouldn’t even be close.

        Just got a 200mb file! It must be such a good book if my toaster of a desktop can’t open it!

        Cannot wait to read it on my laptop!

        Edit:

        Oh god! I was wrong! It is a much bigger file!
