kvbsv85,1bh6b6j,"Preliminary voting results in 2024 russian ""elections""","People show psychological bias when generating random numbers and tend toward certain digits & patterns, in part personal preferences and misconceptions about randomness. Manifestations of the randomness bias include:

- Digit Preference: Favoring numbers like 7 or 3 as more random
- Repetition Avoidance: Believing true randomness must exclude repeat numbers or patterns (this a quick way to spot tax fraud)
- Clustering Illusion: Seeing non-existent patterns in random data, like a concentration of numbers in the seventies and eighties (*cough, cough*)",4034,2024-03-17 20:02:39
