Can any mathfags here calculate a theoretical date on which all origami posts will be extinguished and the board will go dead because literally every possible combination of letters and numbers has been posted before?

I want to know the exact date I'm going to get my life back.

There are 94 different characters you can use in total on /r9k/.
There's 2000 characters total allowed for posting on /r9k/.

94^2000 is a number so large that you can't even post it on 4chan.

You can make one post every 30 seconds, so to make every possible combination of posts you'd need 30*94^2000 seconds.

To give you an idea of how immense that is, the age of the universe in seconds is roughly around 432,327,283,200,000,000 seconds. If you tried to expand 3*94^2000 it would have nearly 4000 digits. In fact I'll post it in expanded form over the next few posts.

This is how many seconds you'd need to post every possible post on /r9k/.

These calculations are made assuming you have zero latency, submit each post exactly when you're allowed to, and that you have a 4chan pass to get faster cooldowns and no captchas.

Basically the universe will die long long long long long long long before you could make all possible posts on /r9k/.

You silly goofs. The robot resets its bank of used posts every so often. You can never win.

>>35806045
thats assuming every post made is 2000 characters. if we introduce a theoretical null character to take up the rest of the space on posts that aren't 2000 characters then we have 95 possible characters. this makes the number of possible posts much larger.
>>
We can use reasoning to determine that that will never happen. Basically, language evolves over time, especially internet language. Most likely, the language will evolve faster than we run out of posts, so we'll be able to make the same posts over and over since they'll be slightly different due to changing slang/memes/writing patterns

... Actually ?

That is really disappointing; how long ?

You only need to calculate the number of nulls for any given post meaning you'd disregard any same content posts with a different distribution of the nulls.

>>35806045
It's more complicated than that.
You have to sum over post length.
White space, punctuation, and case are ignored I believe.
Repeating a letter three or more times is treated as simply one instance of that character.

The original r9k algorithm hashes strings using md5, which is a 128 bit hash
that's 3.4028237e+38 possible unique posts unless moot or chinese moot changed the algorithm

at 3.4 * 10^38 possible posts you'd need to make an unique post each second for the next 10^31 to exhaust all possible hashes
