Oh yes, I died so many times playing Tunic!
But then, I've died more playing Zelda than playing Dark Souls. But I might be hiding the sample sizes to fabricate a surprising-sounding factoid.

And remote controls should not need microphones, but how else are they gonna harvest our conversations?

It would be absurdly difficult to prove that no such trajectory exists.
If you want this to happen in a story, I'd say the biggest question is how long would it realistically have to take before the object returned? Is every trip duration possible? Or are there gaps? Hard to say.

Being tricked by a fool doesn't make you a fool. It only means they're a liar, and you have a normal level of trust.
If they show you who they are, and you continue to be tricked just to save face? That would make you a fool.

Everybody's gonna be seething after hearing the story. (Pandora's reaction to finding the attack was absolutely valid.) Mostly I hope Tedd isn't discouraged and immediately gets to work on detecting magical attacks against people with no defenses.

While Catalina seems like a great choice, I'm gonna have to go with Boaty McDollarson.
Despite them never appearing in the comic, I'll bet they exist somewhere in the EGS multiverse and are basically the Chosen One for this exact overly specific fate.

This particular infinite sequence isn't very useful. The address for the string you want? In binary, the address is even longer than the text you're looking for!
But there are infinitely many ways to make an infinite sequence. Some of those ways are better for the finite string you want to find.

If you find this hard to picture, try thinking about an infinite sequence of 0s and 1s that starts off with 0 1 00 01 10 11 000 001.... The spaces are just for readability.
Every finite binary string is somewhere in this sequence. That includes every image/webpage/song you'll ever download.

Fun fact: This is relevant to data compression. If you have any infinite sequence of text that eventually produces every finite string, then you can transfer any finite string by simply giving its address in one of these infinite sequences.
Pi might be such a sequence. It's unproven.

I finally stopped nitpicking lore when I tried writing something myself. Theme, tone, and likeability are so hard to achieve, and they're what truly speak to people, even to us nitpickers.
That's art. If it says something despite its technical imperfections, then it says something.

Steven Hawking would be able to explain Brownian motion, propose further experiments in atomic physics, and start quantum mechanics 30 years early. I could do that much, and Hawking certainly knew incomparably more about math and physics than I ever have.
