  • It contains every combination of the english alphabet characters possible.

    So you can find a lot of junk, but also everything that has ever been said or written and everything that ever will be said or written in the future.

    It may be disjointed, but it’s there, every passage of every book.

    And everything has it’s special place that always stays the same. The way it is generated and searchable is really interesting.

    If you go to that hexagon, that wall, that shelf, that book and that page - you will find your own comment. (And you will also find it in millions of other pages surrounded by different variations of characters).

    You might click around randomly and find every passage from the bible. But also every passage from the bible where the word “Jesus” is replaced with your own name… etc. there are only finite possibilities of combinations of characters.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Doesn’t a company have more guarantee to be lawful, because they will be under the magnifier glass compared to a bunch of anonymous individuals?

    Why should I trust a bunch of randos with it? Why should I give them my password? […]"
