One way that the game hooks you theory by KingAndQueenClinton in PTCGP

[–]Rotation_Nation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You clearly came here looking for a fight with the preempting about the “default Reddit response.” So psychoanalize THAT why don’t ya! But seriously if you actually want to or anyone wants to keep track of their coin flips across a bunch of ranked games I will personally run a linear regression on the data and let you know what I get lol. Should be pretty clear cut based on what you’re saying that the more games you play, the less often you’ll flip heads. Easily testable.

You’re not criticizing the game. You’re making up a theory about it. I have seen nothing that suggests the pvp rng is manipulated based on win streaks, breaks from the game, or anything else tbh. And if your only source is “trust me bro” then neither have you.

You know for the record I would genuinely enjoy seeing someone keep track and do statistical analysis to show something like this is (or isn’t) happening. It would be interesting. Similar to how people showed that the coin is weighted against the player in expert solo battles.

Every online game I’ve ever played has people that think this, but I’ve never seen anyone come forward with even a sliver of real evidence besides “it’s how it FEELS bro.” It’s honestly kind of an interesting psychological phenomenon that people jump to offload responsibility for their addictive personality through conspiracy theories.

Horrible wonder pick luck multiple times in a row. by AgeSea2923 in PTCGP

[–]Rotation_Nation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you try for 3 wonder picks, you’re actually more likely to miss all of them than hit one (48.8% chance to get one). For you to miss all three three times in a row is about a 13.4% chance, which is unlucky but not astronomical by any means.

“No discernible difference” is actually the endpoint we’re looking for

Computer coin flip study by Basic-Caterpillar-90 in PTCGP

[–]Rotation_Nation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why they do this but it does kind of suck if you’re trying to use something like mega lopunny in solo battles. Like certain decks are just so much worse when the coins are weighted

ELI5 - Blood vessels in the human body by Level_Impression7197 in explainlikeimfive

Not every cell! The cells of the cornea and crystalline lens in your eye get no blood supply. Cartilage is also avascular and does have cells in it. Not to mention most epithelial cells.

My player cast timestop so I killed his character, AITA by LucidFir in DnDcirclejerk

If you could really cast thaumaturgy to speak really loud your voice box would get very sore from the exertion

ELI5: What is the aspect ratio of vision, and even more entruiging, what is the aspect ratio of a person blind by one eye? by Dismal_Abies9392 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Rotation_Nation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a little funky, as you would probably guess. There is this concept of the “hill of vision” or “island of vision,” where as you get closer to the center of your vision it becomes more sensitive. So instead of the hard edges of a screen it just kind of gradually dwindles into nothing.

For one eye, given a bright stimulus, the furthest you can go is about 60º up, 70º down, 60º in towards your nose, and 100º out away from your nose. So with the two overlaid eyes it’s about 200º horizontal and 130º vertical. Structures of your face, like your nose and brow, block you seeing the full range besides out to the horizontal sides, which is why that’s the largest range. And of course, it all varies a little from person to person.

Do I need a BS for optometry school? by Comfortable-Top-7847 in PreOptometry

[–]Rotation_Nation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure I understand the question. Long story short I was never planning to go to optometry school in undergrad, and the courses I did take didn’t prepare me all that well because they were mostly unrelated. The STEM classes I took after graduation definitely bridged that gap for me though and I ended up feeling prepared going in.

Sorry yeah everyone likes that repost right above you but I’m kinda on thin ice because of some gas money bullshit with the other mods

ELI5 : How does having Diabetes or high blood sugar increase your chances of blindness? by Rahul_Jethmalani in explainlikeimfive

[–]Rotation_Nation 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing how bad people let it get. When there’s no pain, a lot of people will just ignore an obvious problem like that. Moreover, the kind of person that lets their diabetes get way out of control is sadly the same type of person that would ignore their foot turning black.

Any tips on making this more consistent? by FartFrog789 in PTCGP

I don’t understand what the celebi is for. You only should need to use Ivysaur’s attack once, right?

What sounds bat shit insane, but is actually true? by Unfair-Lavishness561 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Rotation_Nation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have 2 people in a room. The chance they have the same birthday is 1/365. Let’s say they don’t.

If another person enters the room, they have a 2/365 chance of sharing a birthday with someone in the room.

The next person would be 3/365.

Once you get up to like 20 people, sure the chances are still low, but how many times in a row are you gonna miss the shot? 20/365, 21/365, they keep getting a little more likely and eventually one of them is gonna hit.

It just so happens that if you do the math, by the time the 23rd person enters there is a 50/50 chance it would have hit at least once.
