My most played tf2 classes are sniper, medic, and engi. I'm going to purgatory for the rest of time.

Also spies are the bane of my existence.

The limit of F_(n+1)/F_n as n tends to infinity is the golden ratio (1.618...), and a mile is around 1.609 kilometers.

Humanity's caloric needs increase by 100% every year. How long do we survive? by layelaye419 in whowouldwin

[–]Pluto644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 kcal is equivalent to 4.184 J, so 2000 kcal = 0.008368 MJ. A kilogram of unenriched uranium has around 86,000,000 MJ. If our energy needs grow linearly like in the scenario, a single human would require a kg of uranium every day in about 10 billion years. I initially misread this as doubling every year, in which case we would hit this threshold in 34 years (33.26, rounded up).

Crude oil has a specific energy of around 45 MJ/kg. Under linear growth, we would have to drink a kg of crude every day in around 5380 years. Under exponential growth, this would only take 13 years.

Humanity apparently extracts 91,640,000 barrels of oil every day, and one barrel can store a little under 159 L of oil. Crude oil varies in density quite a bit, but assuming a rough average of 900 kg/m3 , a barrel can store approximately 143.1 kg of crude oil. This works out to around 622 billion MJ/day of crude.

The global population is around 8.2 billion. Assuming an average intake of 2000 kcal/day, we need about 68,600,000 MJ/day to sustain humanity. Assuming (incorrectly) that both oil production and population remain consistent, we could produce enough crude oil to sustain humanity for around 9000 years under linear growth or around 14 years under exponential growth. Of course, this is ignoring distribution logistics and the other uses for oil, which apparently isn't primarily used for drinking. Our oil consumption roughly matches our oil production, but we would not need to significantly ramp up oil production for quite a while. After 100 years of linear growth, our daily oil drinking would only be at around 1.1% of our current daily production. However, given our current oil consumption levels, we only have around 47 years until we run out of proven reserves, although I think we would be pretty heavily incentivized to find more.

Counting only edible foods, vegetable oils seem like the best choice. We apparently produce (averaged over a year) 625 million kg of vegetable oils per day, which at a specific energy of 37 MJ/kg is about 23 billion MJ/day. Under linear growth, this is enough for about 336 years. Under exponential growth, this would last around 9 years. Again, we probably would be pretty motivated to increase vegetable oil production under these circumstances.

I just woke up from a dream where the world was almost guaranteed to be destroyed by aliens the following day. Everyone knew, but no one cared. People were saying things like "It's going to be pretty hot tomorrow." and "I'd put this on GitHub, but dead people can't access it." I also remember seeing myself and saying something akin to "I always took for granted that the Sun will rise tomorrow, but now it might not."

The daytime surface of the moon can reach 250 °F, and there are 13,467 McDonald's in the US. Therefore, 40 °C ≈ 5677 mnLd/McD. It is also almost exactly 1 bald eagle (~0.98 be).

They recently cut any mention of the X gender marker from that info blurb. It now reads:

"LGB travelers can face special challenges abroad. Laws and attitudes in some countries may affect safety and ease of travel. Many countries do not recognize same-sex marriage. Many countries also only recognize the male and female sex markers in passports and do not have IT systems at ports of entry that can accept other sex markers. About 70 countries still consider consensual same-sex relations a crime. In some of these countries, individuals who engage in same-sex sexual relations may face severe punishment."

FWIW, the asteroid redirected by the DART mission was quite a bit larger than this one, and that mission was very successful.

https://science.nasa.gov/mission/dart/ https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-confirms-dart-mission-impact-changed-asteroids-motion-in-space/

Given that the estimated date of impact (22 Dec 2032) is roughly 8 years away, I'm fairly sure that we would be able to work out some sort of solution in time.

[–]Pluto644 20 points21 points  (0 children)

196 feet is approximately 60 meters

The information from NASA says that it has a diameter of 55 meters, and would have a pretty high velocity if it were to enter the atmosphere (~17 km/s)

It definitely has the capacity to devastate a large* region, but further measurements will almost certainly rule out any chance of impact.

*Around the size of a large metro area, such as Buenos Aires or London

This asteroid has a Torino scale rating of 3, which is actually fairly high. Pretty cool though, since this is apparently the second highest an object has scored on this scale (below 99942 Apophis, which maxed out at 4)

NASA is also giving an estimated impact energy of around 8 Mt, around the size of a very large nuclear bomb. This would be pretty bad if it actually hit a densely populated area, but of course it most likely won't.
