The Library of Babel

Post by oldnoname12 »

https://libraryofbabel.info/

This incredibly eerie website was devised by Jonathan Basile.

Each page is given a unique sequential page number in base-10. The text on each page is incased within a unique number used as a seed for Basiles algorhytm. This number is converted into base-29.

This can also be reversed, base-29 converted to base-10 and sent back through the inverted algorithm will bring you to the original page number! This website contains every possible combination of our undercase letters, periods, and commas... Pre-determined... Awaiting to be found and never changing.

On this website there is a volume on a shelf on a wall in a room that contains as much of your personal life story, past present, and future, as can be fit in 3200 characters.
