It sounds surprising at the beginning, but formulated the other way around it's more obvious: "the probability of any given number to NOT contain 3 goes toward zero".

[Grivian]

The combination of numbers is also in almost every integer. What a wonderful thing infinity is

[MirageUchiha]

Soooo basically, "Almost all numbers contain almost all numbers..."

[ceedeeplayer]

The number 3 is everywhere, exept at Valve

[simonkondrk]

Thats deep.

[thezeldafan]

[rft]

Not only is 3 everywhere, but brown paper is too.

[MondySpartan]

All I thought while watching this video... "but this should work for every number"....
aaaand during the end of the video I´m like....

[Demyte]

"He just thinks it sounds funnier"

I thought the number 3 had some special property or something...

[calebmcnevin]

Seems intuitive. As the number of digits in your given number increases toward infinity, the probability that any specific numeral is left out approaches zero.

We should take number 3 and push it somewhere else!

[brucedienst]

When he opened the calculator app, I felt that.

6:13 he asked exactly what I was thinking.

"He just thinks it sounds funnier."

...You know what, it kinda does.

[dantrivates]

In binary, all whole numbers contain the number 1 XD

[xboydubose]

2:12
Fun fact: those digits are the first 3 digits of e. (2.71)

[Sylocat]

1 and 4 are everywhere as well.

For instance, in the upload date of this video.

[jackvanier]

Throughout the entire video i was thinking to myself "But wouldn't this work for all single digit numbers" and i was getting more and more worried they weren't going to cover it and then at the end i let out a sigh of relief
