Sorry to butt in but why is my fellow waffle's demand not possible? :(
NSFW is how you tag stuff that you don't want your colleagues to see on your screen at work: it's not just for porn!

Yup! In that case, this is not an answer that can be solved "mathematically" as you asked: convincing a large group of total strangers to do something for you is within the realm of crowd psychology.
If r/place showed us anything, it's that you can get people to work hard together if you make them feel part of a community. Maybe creating a Lemmy community whose goal is to keep all posts within that community at 69% would work?
Not sure if that's the answer you wanted but that's how I've understood your question so don't hesitate to correct me :)
Is your question "what is the probability for one of my post to have 69% upvotes"? This should be answered by a binomial distribution!
According to this website, for p=0.5; n=100; and x=69 the probability should be ~0.005%.
This means that if 100 people vote your post perfectly randomly, the chance of getting 69% upvotes is ~0.005%. This number will also become smaller if more people start voting since given an infinite amount of votes, the ratio of upvotes should converge towards the chance that a person gives your post an upvote (aka. 50%) so we'd get even further from our 69% target.
Basically, if people vote perfectly randomly it's unlikely to get to exactly 69%. Such is the fate of us mortals :(
It's Alex Unemployment's archnemesis.
It's time to accept that with every passing second, your body irreversibly degrades. In every instant of life, death becomes closer and closer until it eventually consumes your consciousness and turns you into a lump of organic matter.
Which is like 3:45 pm. You're welcome! :)
No censorship here. Could've guess with the instance's name but still good to know! Thanks :)
Yup, that's what my dentist recommends. If you do that, just make sure you have a toothbrush and toothpaste which doesn't hurt your teeth :)
That'd be my take as well: imo this anon is taking part of a truth and turning it into an extreme. But I'm curious as to what other people think about this :)
