My friend in Germany sent this to me. The price is €0.75 per can after a discount using the grocery's app.
I looked up the price locally for me (Washington state, hence the asterisk) at the Kroger-affiliated Fred Meyer, and it was on sale for $23 for a 24 pack of Budweiser. That boils down to €0.81 per can.
*In the title was to acknowledge that Washington state is expensive and I'm sure elsewhere in the country you could find a better deal. But for my little corner of the country, the title holds true.
**My fellow continent-dweller pointed out that our 12oz beers are actually 355ml, and the 330ml can is smaller. Proportionally that brings the price down to exactly €0.75 per can from my benchmark. Add that to a TIL for me.

Every shuffle of a deck of cards is most likely unique
(thelemmy.club)
In fact, 99.999999% is an extremely low estimate. The number of ways that a deck of cards can be shuffled is 52! Which is equal to 8065817517094387857166063685640376697528950544088327782400000000000 possibilities.
If you shuffled cards every second from the birth of the universe until now, you still wouldn’t even come close (statistically) to getting the same arrangement twice.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
