what would be the alternative? to always execute if the condition is true, but sometimes execute it even when false, for funsies?

Hey, I like a little chaos in my codebase ๐Ÿ˜†

const funsies = () => (Math.round(Math.random() * 1000) % 2 == 0)
if ( condition || funsies() ) {
    // do the thing
}

Wait, why the the *1000 or mod 2? Won't that give a 50\50 chance or the same as Math.round(Math.random).

No shade, and I may be wrong myself I am very tired

Probably to make the fractional random value between 0 and 1 to become an integer so that you can divisibility check for even with mod 2
