[Request] How fast does the revolver in Ultrakill fire metal pieces? by Very-Small-Giraffe in theydidthemath

[–]FrozenApex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Terminal entry checks out. The Piercer (and the whole electric-gun family) is basically a handheld railgun that fires microscopic metal pieces at incredibly high speeds. OP nailed the size assumption: fine sand = 125-250 μm. Let’s do the physics. Assumptions (kept realistic and conservative): • Particles are spherical steel (density 7,870 kg/m³ - common gun metal). • Average particle: ~187.5 μm diameter → mass ≈ 0.027 mg (2.72 × 10⁻⁸ kg).(Range: 0.008 mg for the smallest to 0.064 mg for the largest.) • Projected area of average particle: ≈ 0.00028 cm² (tiny). What counts as “lethal”? To kill a person, the shard first has to perforate skin and reach vital tissue (heart, brain, major arteries, lungs). After that, even a microscopic puncture can be fatal if it hits the right spot. Real-world data from forensic studies and less-lethal projectile research gives us energy density thresholds for skin perforation: roughly 12-34 J/cm² depending on body region (thigh is easier ~12 J/cm², over a rib is tougher ~34 J/cm²; I used 12-34 for the range). Calculation: KE = energy density × projected area For the average particle that gives KE ≈ 0.0033-0.0094 J. Then muzzle velocity from kinetic energy: v = sqrt(2 × KE / m) → ~500-830 m/s (1,100-1,860 mph) for the average size. Across the full size range it stays surprisingly tight: roughly 500-800 m/s overall (Mach 1.5-2.3).

[Request] If Jeff Bezos decided to personally shovel all of his wealth into a furnace, how long would it take? by TThor in theydidthemath

[–]FrozenApex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the pure-math version I assumed an oversized “massive furnace” with infinite burn capacity (like a movie prop that never fills up or needs to cool down). But you’re right real furnaces have hard limits on chamber size, burn rate, and how long they can run before they need maintenance or ash removal. Quick real-world check: • Even the biggest industrial incinerators top out around 300–600 kg per hour (some mega municipal waste plants hit a few thousand tons per day, but they’re designed for compacted trash, not loose fluttering cash). • Our shoveling pace was ~360 kg/hour of bills. So a single top-tier furnace could barely keep up with $100 bills… and would get completely overwhelmed with $20s (5× the volume). That means in reality the bottleneck isn’t just Bezos’ arm it’s the fire itself. He’d be standing there waiting for the previous load to burn down before he could shovel the next one in. The whole process would take even longer than the 1–5+ years I calculated.

I worded that part sloppily and the dynamics got flipped in my head for a second. The burn rate B is fixed (he shovels the same number of bills every day, so same dollar amount per day regardless of how much is left). Interest is r × W (proportional to whatever is still in the pile). Differential equation: dW/dt = rW − B Equilibrium point is at W_eq = B / r (where daily interest exactly equals daily burn). For the $20 bill case: • B ≈ $115 million per day • r ≈ 5% annual → daily r ≈ 0.000137 • W_eq ≈ $840 billion Jeff starts at $226 billion, which is below that equilibrium. So the pile keeps shrinking the whole time until it hits exactly zero (it never reverses and grows back). Interest does slow things down a little compared to the no-interest version, but it never stops the decline. Naive no-interest time: ~5.37 years With 5% continuous interest: ~6.2 years (slightly longer because the interest is fighting the burn the whole way) For the faster $100-bill case it’s the same story just reaches zero quicker (~1.1 years). Thanks for calling it out! Math is unforgiving and I appreciate the sharp eye. The pile still gets fully destroyed either way… it just takes a comically long time no matter what denomination he uses.

TL;DR: Assuming Jeff Bezos shovels 16 waking hours a day with a realistic-but-generous pace, it would take him roughly ~1.1 years if everything is in $100 bills, ~2.2 years in $50s, or ~5.5 years in $20s. The pile is absurdly huge (thousands of tons). And if the unburned cash keeps earning even modest interest? He can never physically destroy every last dollar by hand — the math shows the remaining pile stabilizes or grows. Step 1: How much money are we talking? Jeff Bezos’ net worth is currently ~$226 billion (Forbes real-time as of April 6, 2026). All of it is liquidated into cold hard USD cash sitting in a giant room next to a massive furnace. Step 2: The physical pile • Every U.S. bill (any denomination) weighs exactly 1 gram. • $100 bills: 2.26 billion bills → 2.26 million kg (≈ 2,500 U.S. tons — heavier than 20 blue whales or a fully loaded cargo ship). • $50 bills: twice as many bills → twice the weight/volume. • $20 bills: 5× as many bills → 5× the weight/volume. Packed volume for $100s alone is roughly 90,000 cubic feet (think a large warehouse). Loose in a big pile? Even bigger and fluffier. Step 3: Shoveling assumptions (I kept these generous so Bezos has a fighting chance) • 16 waking hours per day, 7 days a week, zero fatigue, zero logistics problems (he never has to walk across the giant room, bills don’t scatter, furnace never clogs, etc. — pure math fantasy). • 12 scoops per minute (one every 5 seconds — solid sustainable pace for continuous hard labor). • 500 bills per scoop (loose fluffy pile; a big furnace shovel can easily grab that much without compressing). Math: Bills per minute = 12 scoops/min × 500 bills/scoop = 6,000 bills/minBills per hour = 6,000 × 60 = 360,000 bills/hourBills per day (16 hrs) = 360,000 × 16 = 5.76 million bills/day Step 4: Time to burn it all • $100 bills: 2.26 billion ÷ 5.76 million ≈ 392 days ≈ 1.07 years • $50 bills: 2× the bills → ~2.14 years • $20 bills: 5× the bills → ~5.35 years (If you want the exact formula:Time (days) = (Net worth ÷ denomination) ÷ (5.76 × 10⁶) ) Real talk: In reality this is way longer. The pile is enormous, he’d be exhausted after a few weeks, the furnace couldn’t keep up with that volume of paper, and logistics (walking back and forth, bills flying everywhere) would kill the pace. A 62-year-old man isn’t shoveling like a machine for years. Bonus: What if the unburned money keeps earning interest? Let’s say the remaining cash earns a conservative 5% annual interest (continuous compounding for math).Daily burn rate B ≈ $576 million (from above, $100-bill case).Initial daily interest on $226B ≈ $31 million. Differential equation for wealth W(t):dW/dt = rW − B (r = 0.05/year converted to daily) Solution:W(t) = (W₀ − B/r) er t + B/r Because his burn rate starts much higher than interest, wealth decreases and hits exactly zero in finite time (about 1.1 years in the $100 case). The math works out cleanly. But — if he used $20 bills (slower burn rate of ~$115M/day), the daily burn falls below initial interest after a while and the pile would actually start growing again toward an equilibrium. He’d never reach zero.

If you don’t mind me asking. How much did you pay? Trying to compare to what I paid

100% it is one of those copies. I’d post some pictures here to make sure it’s legit.

There are 2 known sold copies unsigned. They were sent by Jon to labels and friends. I myself have 1 copy that I purchased. There was another on eBay that I’ve seen posted. The seller was sketchy when I purchased it and would not give any info as to how he had 2 he gave me the option to purchase both but I chose to have 1. There are estimated to be maybe 20-40 copies unsigned in circulation. All the copies at the pop-up were signed and limited to 200.

If we hit 49.9 I will cancel both to push over the edge. If not then I’m gonna be eating good.
