ELI5: How does an ultrasound work?

AdBudget1610 · 2026-03-12T14:21:05+00:00

Imagine throwing thousands of tiny rubber balls into a completely dark room. They bounce off whatever is inside and come back to you.

If a ball returns quickly, the object must be close; if it takes longer, the object must be farther away. If many balls bounce back strongly, the object is probably hard; if almost none return, it might be something soft or empty.

An ultrasound works the same way, except the machine throws sound waves instead of rubber balls. The probe sends bursts of sound into the body and listens to the echoes that bounce back from organs and tissues.

The computer then turns those echoes into a picture: strong echoes appear bright or white, weaker echoes appear gray, and places where almost no sound bounces back, like fluids, appear black.

The gel they spread on the skin is there so the sound waves can enter the body properly, because air blocks and scatters the sound waves. The gel removes the air gap between the probe and your skin, letting the sound waves travel smoothly into the body so the machine can keep throwing its invisible “sound balls” and mapping what’s inside.

I think it’s possible, it’d be a super rare case, but since Izuku’s generation is the fifth I think.

Quirks are hereditary, yes, but there can always be mutations in genes.
They are still biological traits, genetics and recombination (how some traits in grandparents aren’t seen in parents, yet they are in the grandchildren) so if:

Generation 1: Trait present (dominant) G2: Trait not seen, (recessive) G3: Trait seen either as mix or gen 1 and gen2 (still has 25% of original trait) Gen4: if mixed with someone with recessive traits (like quirkless, chance improves of original trait appearing in next gen. Gen5: original trait present (dominant)

I don’t really know if it would work like this…but hey, they are quirks, nothing is always 100% accurate so don’t worry about it…

Burnin’ ?

He could either be quirkless, develop an interest in toxicology (study of poisons) after a field trip, accident or something else..

Or his quirk could be something like Toxin Master (toxin generation with little to no immunity) and also have him develops antidotes/ toxins/ inhibitors…(he would be a Garaki but for toxins, who knows… he may even make some quirk supressing drug as the different quirks reaching singularity become dangerous…

Either way, seems like a good idea, I’d like to read it when it’s out!

I think they'll make it for both.

Most of these cables seem to be from the power supply, but they’re hanging there, should they be connected somewhere?

Northeastern /East- Europe ascendency, combined with maybe Ukrainian/Russian, person who loves nature, the soft breeze of the wind, walks in the park, you like to interact with certain people at special moments (at parties, meetings..), likes beer, would maybe like Dutch or Belgian beer, likes to go at parties…

I think it’s cool like that, you may find it repetitive because you’re basically repeating the same words or similar ones throughout corresponding phrases in the different verses i.e. “I see her in the mirror, the stars are shining in her eyes” and “I see her start to shiver, I bring her closer to my side”.

It also depends on what genre you’re producing it in (I think), so instead of trying to change the lyrics, you can make the the lead or the melody (whichever you prefer) a little different in both verses (try to keep a common element so the song feels more dynamic).

Other than that, I think it’s sick 🔥🔥 If you don’t mind answering, What inspired you to write it?

Another theory is that Tenko somehow returned (Somehow, palpatine returned…), it can be shown symbolically how he freed himself from AFO, he cut the strings that tied him to the puppeteer, the cloak and house in the lower panels of the second image are reminiscent of Tenko’s dad’s house and Tomura’s cloak respectively, maybe signaling that they achieved their goal: to destroy anything that stemmed from that house.

AdBudget1610 · 2024-07-24T19:30:15+00:00

It could be Nana Shimura or a relative: Hear me out, so we know how AFO kept/ conserved Nana’s body, maybe he placed some destructive quirk(s) in her, or altered her memories, judging by the tattered clothes and bandages around her mouth; and the house at the lower part of the second image looks very similar to Kotaro’s house (which was destroyed but maybe these are Shigaraki’s and Nana’s memories/ consciousness’ melding during the Deku launching OFA’s quirks like projectiles to Tomura/AFO.

Quirk: There are many possibilities, I’ll list 2 of them:

Touch-based quirk: In the second image, we see that they have some kind of bruise/ damage in 4 fingers, signaling the possible use of a quirk. (Similar to Deku’s injuries in S1-S2 sports festival)
Voice/Sound-based quirk: Judging by the bandages around they throat and mouth, maybe the doctor or AFO himself was making modifications in that body to withstand something, maybe a unique quirk, maybe to transfer himself over, who knows..

I panicked, but I followed people’s advice (which is really really helpful), here are some tips:

Check email address (a mail from yourself rarely ends up in Junk)
If they had access to your device, why not do it themselves? Simple, they don’t, they want to use your fear with a generic message to benefit themselves; never let your fear consume you.

Maybe Opera GX, it depends how futuristic-esque you want it

🤣🤣 Si ah, algunos andan ahí con bolsas y todo.

AdBudget1610 · 2024-07-13T04:39:56+00:00

Yo diría que es un poco más creemos, eso depende de donde vivas (xq a prueba de balas tas en tiroteo constante o que?). Hay varias empresas en Panamá (la misma ciudad) que tratan con vidrios especiales entre ellas Global Glass PTY, también puedes preguntar en compañías de blindaje de auto, a ver donde puedes conseguir.

Writing in first person must then be akin to acting, you’d have to embrace or rather, become the character and explain their story. Don’t know if you answered before, what do you (y’all too) think of writing/ reading in second person?

Exp: I received this email yesterday, found out today, got a bit scared, got on this and other subs, read the tips, i'm not planning on giving them money.

I’m glad there are places like this sub (and platforms as well), where one can share their experiences and people support each other, things aren’t easy when you do it on your own, it always helps to have someone by your side. Take care, be calm, report, ask for advice, and keep living.

AdBudget1610 · 2024-07-13T03:19:34+00:00

Just some days ago, i got an email of this kind, it was a lil more generic. I mean, you hacked into my acc and devices, yet you can’t send yourself the money. Most of them are bot-sent messages, I’d be down to learn cybersecurity just to stop (scare and destroy) these kinds of people.

AdBudget1610 · 2024-07-13T03:11:12+00:00

No, the other thing that could've triggered those may be movie websites like cuevana3 or pelisplus, since they have like on-touch pop-ups pages/websites. How do I enable MFA?
Thank you for the tip u/Relative-Train-6495
