A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

the odds of randomly selecting 0 exactly an infinite number of times is exactly zero which is why OP is right
Probability of a=0 is (1/10)
Probability of both being 0:
then for n 0s
Pn = (1/10)^n
as n -> inf, Pn -> 0
put another way, (1/10)^inf = 0
