gollark: If you generate random numbers sampled out of the range from 1 to infinity then... 100% minus some infinitesimally small amount are too big to fit in the universe?
gollark: It's not a "99.99999999% chance". We're dealing with infinities here.
gollark: Okay, no, I can think of how you would do that, although not a uniform distribution across the entire range.
gollark: I'm not sure how you would even do that without taking infinite or at least arbitrarily large amounts of time.
