In an alternate reality they might have just called skunks "stink badgers."

I'm a little envious of that reality, as stink badger is a solid go to insult that I don't think could ever catch on here.
You're viewing a single thread.
if you subscribe to the infinite universe theory, there IS a reality where skunks are called stink badgers. There's also one where they are called Dave.
Not necessarily. The most common mistake people make about parallel worlds is that because infinite possibilities exist then ALL possibilities must exist.
It's like how there are infinite decimal numbers between 1 and 2, but none of them are 3.
Infinities don't tend to make a lot of intuitive sense when you apply them to the world.
So do you think infinite monkeys using infinite typewriters over infinite time, wouldn't necessarily produce the works of Shakespeare? I've always been suspicious of that idea.
Assuming the monkeys hit the keys randomly, yeah that one is mathematically provable. But the typing has to be random else it goes from definite to just incredibly likely.
