On average.

yes, that's the important part the OP left out. You stated

One in every 20 rolls is a nat 20

this is incorrect.

You're right, it's only roughly one in every 20 rolls. It's only almost precisely one in every 20 rolls. It's only a 5% chance, which some would say is literally synonymous with "one in every 20 rolls," which isn't strictly true, because it's possible to have more or less than one natural 20 in any run of 20 rolls, because it's only one in every 20 rolls on average.

I've been arguing about the portal paradox all day and these comments have gotten on my nerves more than anyone trying to explain to me that the cube isn't moving

Glad we can agree.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
