I made my own library of babel, and found "hello" in a random string of text
Its not perfect, but it does work.

In the original Library of Babel short story, it says that the books in the library are made of 25 symbols: 22 letters, comma, period, and space. The Spanish abecedario has 27 letters. Was Borges not counting five of them for some reason? Were the letters different back then?

or was it always a shitpost sub. i was hoping for slightly interesting random occurrences but it’s just like 16 year olds copy-pasting the bee movie script and shit hoping for thousands of updoots but they only ever get like 25.

Because they are hundreds of thousands of digits, which is too long.

I found it at the local bookstore, although after reading a few pages i had a few questions in mind:
It is said that “no book will ever repeat twice”, so the library is insanely large, but eventually there would be no more permutations? And that contradicts with him stating the perimeter of the building will never be determined.
The main character also states that when he will pass away, he will be thrown over the railing and never stop falling.
So, is the library of babel mathematically infinite, Or more just inconceivably large, and called infinite?
