  For very different reasons though. 37 is what people think is the most random, because humans are dumb. The LLM here tried to choose the most likely.

    In his video, he shows that the more common answers are actually 42 and 69.

    I discards them because they’re picked for a reason rather than a human genuinely trying trying to pick a random number, but they’re still way more common than 37.

      That’s because they asked the internet for those polls. The internet thinks they’re funny by picking the meme numbers. So I can understand why they chose to omit those numbers from their results.

      YouTube STEM educator. 15 million subscribers. Probably in the top 5 STEM educators on the platform.

      He released a video on the number 37 two weeks ago, with 6 million views.

  Title card from Star Trek: Voyager S02E01, with the crew of Voyager standing around a 1936 Ford truck in their cargo bay. The episode title “The 37’s” is at the top left of the image.

  I always like to throw out 37 because of Dante’s girlfriend.
