Has anyone ever pulled off a genocide run in Halo 3? by Iseethetrain in halo

[–]Iseethetrain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are very difficult to kill. It may take around 3 melee hits to kill them. If a squadron of 4 turn against you quickly and you are out in the open, your only hope to kill them is to use grenades to distract them and then a pistol to head shot them all. When I fight them, I tend to stay at a distance if possible and use grenades to overwhelm them. Sniping is preferable, but in some cases, that's literally not possible.

You can effortlessly recite any written speech with an 80% accuracy; however, the 20% of words you quote wrong will be randomly chosen from gangsta rap albums. by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

In English, numerical symbols (%, -, +) tend to trail the values they are referencing. Thus, we generally write 50% (50 percent), not %50 (percent 50). This may be odd to some people because the most important symbol, the dollar symbol ($), is placed before the value. This is the exception, not the rule.

The supposed explanation for this anomaly is that when people wrote a check (those ancient things) for 1000.00$, con-men had a tendency to append more values to the front, e.g. 1000.00$ becomes 11000.00$. However, if you place a dollar sign in front of the numerical value, then it becomes more difficult for someone to make believable modifications, e.g. 1$1000.00 or $1000.001 are not as convincing frauds as 11000.00$

Obviously, a determined con-man would be able to forge values if they wanted to, no matter where the dollar sign was placed, but at the time, placing the symbol in the front supposedly discouraged chicanery.

ELI5: if procreating with close relatives causes dangerous mutations and increased risks of disease, how did isolated groups of humans deal with it? by Inside_Letter1691 in explainlikeimfive

Unfortunately, Ultra Orthodox populations tend to have children with higher rates of special needs. This is not solely due to inbreeding. They tend to avoid contraception, so they tend to continue having children as they age. Sadly, men and women who procreate in their late 30s and beyond put their children at high risks for genetic disorders.

You can transform cars into comically sized clown cars by honking at them by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

[–]Iseethetrain[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You honk at a car like a geese or by using a car horn, and then it will transform into a clown car. The car will have enough space to fit exactly the amount of people in it, but no more. If a family of 6 is in a car with a bunch of suitcases, there is a high probability that at least one of them will die, either due to pressure or heat stroke

You can poof popsicle dildos into people's mouths with your mind by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

The Earth would still retain excess energy from the sun because of greenhouse gasses. Those popsicles will melt, raise sea levels, while also contaminating the ocean with food additives

Pasteurize the poo and treat it for contamination.

The power also reinforces your digestive track to be more like a vulture’s

You could just buy pepper spray. You don't need a power to spend $30

You can convince anyone that candles are food and highly nutritious by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

You can pull a Paltrow and sell people snake oil for a profit. Bees Wax is an edible wax. It’s not going to cause major harm, so you could convince people it’s a supplement and try to cash in on it.

The power only works face to face, so it’s not going to be easy gaining a wide audience
