Hey, a few snails are nothing compared to the disgusting shit the Chinese eat. And I’m not saying that to be racist. It’s purely a dietary horror I have for their revolting and cruel habits.
The random animals they either catch from wild or raise in horrific conditions to sell to eat because ‘some bogus reason to do with ‘traditional Chinese medicine’ or male erection insecurity’.
I mean how about the ‘wet market’ where C19 apparently sprung from; bats, pangolins, god only knows what else.
As I said, I am not racist in the least, but I will admit to being somewhat disgusted by many aspects of their culture. As others have discussed elsewhere, the Cultural Revolution destroyed the previous Chinese cultural norms and created a somewhat blank slate that did not include politeness etc. This seems to be by design.
To be fair, I’m also disgusted by many aspects of ‘Western’ culture, including regional variations and various hypocrisies. Again, nothing to do with race.
In fact, lots of human behaviour disgusts me. Hey, when was that asteroid due again?!?
Not too related, but I wonder how many sites/algorithms were written in a lazy way, making that “I’m not telling you where I am” circle centred perfectly around their address. So while it is designed to look like your address could be anywhere within the circle, I bet that with most of them you just have to put a pin into their exact geometric centre.
Bacteria multiply crazy fast… as long as the food source was uninterrupted I’d almost guarantee you most people’s microbiome would be fully recovered in just a few hours and they’d not even notice.
It depends on how the snap worked. It was 50% of all life in the universe. Was that 50% of every species? Or just 50% of all living things? If it’s the latter it’s possible some species were missed entirely while others were completely wiped out.
But no one lost 50% of their own cells, so clearly if it’s alive and can be classified as a single organism. Is the gut micro biome an independent body of organisms, or is it just like any other organ of the human body, and thus would have been unaffected by the snap?
Either everyone lost almost exactly 50% of their gut biome, or, about half of all living organisms lost 100% of it, or, no one lost any part of it. Those are the only three possibilities.
The more interesting question is were viruses affected? Or did the magic stones not consider them life?
Our doubling time isn’t that bad either. We reached 4 billion in 1970s. If we round up the current population to 8 billion that’s about 50 years. That’s all that thanos would add by the snap. Even less probably because we have better medicine now so it would be easier to reach that number.
I kind of expect developed countries would maintain the current trend of being slightly below replacement value. Probably depends on the psychological impact of the snap. People tend to have fewer children when they know the ones they have are safe.
Yeah. the donut I have here is about an inch and a quarter long. I’m in the upper percentile so I figured I wouldn’t use my size, so that round that down and 4 should be like 80%
Pretty sure I could fit like… Two… And I think I’m bigger than average? Doughnuts are just way bigger than this. 4 is a huge amount of doughnuts. You’d need like, a 10 inch cock
For $1000, I wonder if someone could rig together a very shitty way of making low quality anvils out of garbage like aluminum or very shitty steel/cast iron and pass it off as a “real anvil” that I found in the dump or something.
That would be a lot of work of course but in today’s economy and job market, a huge amount of effort just to get $1000 isn’t necessarily a waste of time especially if you can do it multiple times before they find out.
That’s assuming that half of the gut biomes of all humans was just left floating around. No, it’s more likely that the biomes were snapped out of existence with their hosts.
well when you get snapped all that’s left is dust. perhaps that dust is all the microbes in your body that survive the snap. It clearly takes up far less space that if it just disintegrated you.
They’re still not the same germs. No dishwasher goes over 90 or 95°C (household ones). There is bacteria in feces that can survive that temperature. Not to mention parasite spores/eggs, some can easily withstand even 150°C.
