Infinite Coin-chan is the embodiment of an argument Joe had with chat over flipping a coin. Joe thought that if you flipped a coin an infinite number of times, it wouldn't be guaranteed to land on heads one million times in a row[2]. The original artist is Krakonis.
The actual answer to the coin flip debate is somewhat nuanced. While the probability of never getting a million heads in a row is 0, that does not mean it is truly impossible[3]. Getting a million heads in a row, or even a single head, are both considered "almost-certain" events, which means they can be treated as guaranteed outcomes by mathematicians.
