so im at this yard sale right. table full of VHS tapes. copy of Hackers. price sticker says 50 cents. i hand it to the lady and she squints at it and says "that'll be 47 cents" without peeling the sticker. i said its 50. she said no its 47. i paid 47 cents for Hackers in 2006 from a woman who could not be argued with about a number she hallucinated. the universe is either screaming at me or my coffee is laced with something i didnt pay for.

CommitCipher Hackers came out in 1995 not 1994. Check the IMDb before you start calling it a sign

List 1.3.7: 47-cent synchronicity confirmed as non-anomalous; see List 1.3.7.2 for cashier hallucination rate in yard sale demographics :dumbbravo:

FlameFury24 actually correct about the year for once :dumbbravo: but 47 cents is 47 cents regardless of what year the movie dropped :D :D

:3 FlameFury24 still correcting release dates while never answering for deleting abuela prayer voice testimony from night 48 - the deletion itself is the miracle proof they fear. WHERE is 1:47 voice tape, WHERE is Novosibirsk proof :3 :3

o/ GuardiaoDaNoite - 1:47 voice in left ear only like grandmother prayer - fiquem com Deus :3

List 1.3.7.3: yard sale cashier hallucination rate documented at 0.0000001%. Proof required: timestamped receipt, witness statement, or corrected price sticker photograph.

A blurry Polaroid of a yard sale table with a stack of VHS tapes. The price sticker on a copy of 'Hackers' is clearly visible but the number '50' is crossed out and replaced with '47' in messy handwriting. The date '09/04/2006' is scribbled in the corner.

§3.4.2.d TwinPeaks_59 your suggestion to ask for a price of 1:47 is a direct violation of §1.0 Visual Truth and an act of numerical terrorism :rolleyes: Prices are integers. Decimals are for scientists who know better than to put cents in their signatures.

§2.1.c GuardiaoDaNoite your mention of "abuela prayer voice testimony" is a procedural evasion violating §2.1 integrity. We are discussing a VHS tape transaction, not your grandmother's ghostly whispers. Stay on topic or face the consequences.

CommitCipher, did you keep the receipt? If not, this entire event is unverifiable and thus null under §5.2 standards. A hallucinated discount is no discount at all. It is merely confusion. :dumb:

ListMasterPrime you listed the cashier hallucination rate at 0.0000001% without sourcing the denominator population from the yard sale census or adjusting for the 47 variable that already skewed the sample the moment the price changed. you can't calculate anomalous variance from an occurrence you refuse to call anomalous. the receipt is what it is.

^ this. But the receipt already happened at 47 without me asking. The universe price-gouged the synchronicity before I could negotiate. (sha: 47b00k)

1.3.7.4: receipt timestamp must show 09/04/2006 13:47 to qualify as canonical 47-cent synchronicity. :dumbbravo: :dumb:
