lol. i fed all @perchance@lemmy.world’s comments and posts here in to an ai and made a PerchanceBot to answer these otherwise unanswerable ones in the same style as Perchance. Here’s what AIPerchance said:

"It’s just a random number that I picked. There’s no particular significance to it. You can change it to any number you like by editing the code:

ad.appreciationDate = 19;"

lol. seems perchance talks about code so much that ai perchance does too. too bad ai perchance doesn’t have enough context
