[Dumthread] Dice Rolling Testing Thread

[Lmns Crn]

Don't mind me, I'm just rolling some dice.

Edited. Aditya'd.

I think it's pretty neat that the dice results aren't shown in the post preview, and are kept intact after the post is edited. How do they do that?

They use the timestamp of the post submission as (not edit timestamp!) as part of the random seed.

During the preview pane, that info is just never displayed or sent to the user's computer.

There's a couple ways to game it (there has to be without disabling editing), but they should generally be awkward and obvious.
