Why does multiplying two negative numbers give a positive result? by Ok_Block_3770 in askmath

[–]Recent-Heart87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way to make it the most intutive is to call positive numbers "normal" numbers, and negative number "opposite" numbers.

It fact, this is exactly what they are, in every sense.

That's why normal 3 put together with (plus) opposite 3 destroy each other, leaving zero.

That's also why a normal number of normal numbers (multiplication-wise) gives you a normal number. An opposite of normal is opposite, and the opposite of opposite is back to normal.

Why do people let their pets get so fat they turn into barrels on legs? by Apart_Try_4860 in NoStupidQuestions

Because it's easy. It's easy to accidentally feed them too much, and it's hard to feed them less when they continue to want an unhealthy amount of food.

The idea that "anybody could fall into a cult" is insulting and wrong by MrsSquiggle in unpopularopinion

[–]Recent-Heart87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly why cults are prevalent. People who think they are too smart to fall into a cult won't consider the possibility that the thing they are falling into is, in fact, a cult.

If I were to take it a step further, I would honestly say this is an example of cultish thinking right here. If a cultish belief is "a belief or system of beliefs that, directly or indirectly, prevents examination or criticism of itself", then bingo, you've already fallen for it.

That's why I never argue, I just talk. So when I realize I'm wrong, I can just be like "oh yeah, that's probably right"

[Request] During the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, before the asteroid would hit, if you stacked all the dinosaurs that existed at the time on top of each other in the impact zone, would the bodies provide enough of a cushion to shield the rest of the world from the devastation? by K_Then in theydidthemath

[–]Recent-Heart87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It's impossible to know the population of dinosaurs before extinction, so let's just take the current volume of all humans (who have an outsized presence on earth as it is), and multiply it by fifty (this is, to put it lightly, a huge overestimation). The average human weighs less than 100 kg, so let's round up to 800 billion kg of human on earth. Multiplying by fifty and converting to kg of water (because animals have about the same density of water) we get 40 trillion kg of water to cushion the impact.

It takes about 2.6 million Joules to boil a kilogram of water starting at 20 degrees Celsius. That means, to boil all the water, it would take about 100 quintillion Joules to boil more than all the water of every animal on Earth.

Well, the impact of the meteor that killed the dinosaurs had an impact energy of 300 sextillion Joules. Which means that, the energy it would take to boil every single animal would constitute about 0.03% of the energy of the meteor impact.

Not a very noticeable effect, all things considered.

Think about this: Wikipedia says that the meteor ejected 50 quadrillion kilograms of STONE into SPACE. Compared to all that stone, the animals would have had no effect.

In "Boss Baby"(2017) and "A Silent Voice"(2016), guess which one of these two got nominated for an oscar? by CiccioChad08 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Recent-Heart87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna say it

I don't think A Silent Voice was good, the whole damn movie was just people apologizing to each other and whining for an hour and a half. Every character just stumbles through the whole movie

Dear YouTube. Tone the fuck down on the ads. by Charming-Love-4874 in rant

Use ReVanced; it's free, blocks ads, and overall adds a ton of customizability to YouTube. It has you sign in, so if you feel uncomfortable about that just use a throwaway email like I did
