The Babel Library is pretty dumb... it just reads back what you inputed...
-
I have no idea how to use the babel library.
-
Boring presentation

They day they took the picture of us from Saturn, my 8th grade science teacher took us outside to pose.

(the thing i felt like typing when i went onto the library of babel website.) the one thing that this absolutely massive unstorably great digital library, cannot possibly store, is correct grammar. i dont mean all the proper rules and context for each individual little piece of grammar, but putting said rules in fully grammatically correct paragraphs. because after all, that contains way to many characters to create an algorythm out of. at least for a little side project which this must have been for the man who created this massive library of every single combination of letters, spaces, commas, and periods. im not sure how to feel, knowing that what im typing could, theoretically, simply be discovered by simply clicking through this library, and eventually being stumbled across. it really does blur the line between discovering and creating. as when you look through this library, you will find every book that is made, and will ever be made, every possible picture, just coded into type, and every possible description of every possible picture, and every possible description of every possible word describing every possible picture encoded in this library of babel. for what i know someone could have simply randomly clicked around and found this very odd and long multiple paragraph speech. that no matter what i come up with, no matter how complicated, no matter how long, no matter how intresting or no matter how many questions this answers, someone could have clicked randomly and simply found this. the correct explanation for literally everything in physics, normal or quantum, is in here. as well as every incorrect explanation for literally everything in physics would be here. as well as everything i said, but with twenty eight more dick jokes. the fact that everything, if we can list volumes to add a connectivity between three thousand two hundred character long book, you can type, or say, or do anything, or have done anything, or will do anything, that this absolutely staggering library of babel doesnt have. and just as sure as the sun will always come up the next day, i am as sure that it is in here, as well as a encoded picture of that sun in literally every possible way of encoding it. what the extent of volumes possible i do not know, how many characters you need to type, i do not know. but what i do know, is that the number of volumes you could find in this is more than a human could most likely possibly type in their lifetime. whether i wrote this, or found this, i am not sure. whether there are trillions of versions of this with slight spelling errors everywhere, the power set is too large, along with all possible synonyms i couldve used instead of the words i used here. and all the grammar errors potentially put into this paragraph, that really shows how small we can really do, and how much the things we make really can do. this library has made every tweet before it has been tweeted. or maybe twot. probably tweeted. so as an ending, i like to look at all the hundreds of trillions of other ways i could have written this with the exact same intention and meaning, all of which exist in this great online library of babel.

I like to think I know what your talking about but to be honest I have no clue haha
-
I wish you where my teacher

Searched up for "DTD is OP" and it still have... This Library of Babel is somewhat scary and fascinating. But how can the alien understand?

I'd copyright every page, then I would get royalties everytime anyone says anything.
-
These messages are strange... How can you comunicate with everyone? We can't even understand these placks...
-
The knowledge that every possible thing that could happen to somebody has already been describe is absolutely terrifying. I'm actually somewhat troubled by the idea that we can never think, say or do anything that hasn't already been written, not to mention the fact that we can prevent or change any of those things too because the exact opposite also exists. Now, excuse as I try to find the meaning of life among it's pages.

Jesus Christ my brain can't handle this

Bottom squeeze bridge access jaw much couple Iraqi western eating.

Not to get depressing or anything but when I watch videos like this it trips me out how we still care about a bunch of little shit that society makes us stress out about when our lives are so irrelevant to anything that's gunna happen 1,000 years plus from now let alone millions So aka who gives a fuck what anyone says do whatever the fuck you want
