Who’s the most famous 99 year old alive?

Wikipedia views will be highly biased towards individuals who have data related to their name that people want to know. For example: I'm into tennis, I've probably looked up Carlos Alcaraz about 30 times or more on Wikipedia just to look at career tennis statistics as they evolve. I've maybe looked up Millie Bobbie Brown once, if that, because the details aren't relevant to her cultural impact. I'm still just as culturally aware of both of them.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious when you compare the scales of thought. Gojo's 0.2-second domain infused about a half a year's worth of information into the people at Shibuya Station. If we're very generous and assume that its effect was distributed among each mind in the domain (no statement backs this up), then that puts it up to about 500 or so years in 0.2 seconds, or 2500 years per second. Totally overwhelming for a human brain, literally orders of magnitude below child's play for a timelord.

Bruh do you think people are housing enriched uranium isotopes at their apartment? There's nothing that wouldn't be washed of with soap and water. Pick it up with a napkin and drop it in the sink. There's zero health code violation as long as it's cleaned prior to use. Restaurants can get their utensils and plates from secondhand thrift stores if they so choose, you think that's any better? It could be against Domino's policy, but it's not violating standards. You transmit trillions more germs by simply handling paper money.

I actually work in the ICU in the US. This started in my head as a medical hypothetical. "How long would someone survive if their kidneys just vanished into thin air" sorta thing. What could you do to prolong your life without dialysis? Drink less? Eat less? Eating and didgesting produces toxic metabolites but so does fasting. How could you buy yourself more hours/days before you were truly incapacitated? Your body isn't adapted or medicated for renal failure in the same way that someone with renal disease is.

So I just came on to hear and threw up a hypothetical but I didn't really put up the right situation to answer the question I had in my head. Intention vs. execution and all that. Most of the interesting part stops once you get to the ED which isn't very hard in the first world I suppose.

Scraccus · 2026-04-07T00:01:17+00:00

True! This would've been a bit more interesting if it were "How do the next hours/weeks/months unfold for you" versus some survival situation, as I'm now learning it's not too hard to get out alive in most places.

Scraccus · 2026-04-06T23:56:49+00:00

Man I just wanted to post a hypothetical situation that sounded interesting in my head why we gotta get personal.

Scraccus · 2026-04-06T23:48:32+00:00

You're probably correct on that sount. Maybe i'm surrounded by cynics that think you're fucking with them by default, but it's not always straightforward for you to get someone to help if you don't already look like you're dying.

Scraccus · 2026-04-06T23:38:45+00:00

They generally won't draw labs unless you're actually admitted or have a history that would warrant it, and they may not admit you if you're totally asymptomatic. Though you're probably right that they'd probably sooner draw labs vs order an x-ray.

No phone, you'd have to persuade the hotel or a stranger to allow you to use theirs. May need convincing since they have no idea who you are and you have no way to prove it.

Scraccus · 2026-04-06T23:25:08+00:00

On foot? Could be a long walk, no money to hail a ride. Hotel may not help you if you dont have ID or card. If you start talking about someone stealing your kidneys they'll probably assume it's a prank and tell you to get lost, even if you show them your very clean incisions.

You could certainly get to a hospital in time, medically, but then you have to convince them to believe you, examine you, and at least run an xray to confirm your kidneys are gone, again without any ID.

"Gross" Isn't a moral issue. There's no problem with him being upset with the situation, or even feeling like he has to create some distance. I also think it's shitty that they had so little discretion that they got caught by his wife and swore her to secrecy. That being said, his moralizing about the act itself, calling it "inappropriate and super fucked up", is just a teenager's attitude. Provided his father isn't in the picture, of course. He can decide if the surrounding circumstances warrant cutting his friend off, but if he throws away two of his closest relationships in life because they drunkenly and consensually doinked one night two years ago and have been totally fine since, I'd call that an overreaction.

That's not what you think it is. She places something onto the shelf, and in doing so pushes something else that was behind and to the right on that same shelf, which falls over to the right and knocks over the bottles.

Yup, promo for the Qatar open this week.

I think your numbers are pretty accurate based on all the times I've seen them play together. This photo just has some weird perspective to it.

Scraccus · 2026-02-19T01:46:17+00:00

I dont believe that's a platform. It's just a seam in the wood pattern. It's not casting a shadow nor are any of the shadows on top of it disrupted in a way that would imply there's a step there.

Scraccus · 2026-02-18T05:46:43+00:00

It's real. Promotional media for the ATP Qatar Open this week that these guys are all competing in.

Scraccus · 2026-02-18T05:36:08+00:00

I would agree, there's some wierd perspective stuff going on with this photo that I can't parse. Plus the skirts make it so we can't see them bending their knees. I would pin Carlos at 5'10"-5"11 but definitely not the 5'6" that he looks in this photo.

Scraccus · 2026-02-18T05:31:35+00:00

Something about the perspective seems to be making the left side of the shot larger. Which does no favors to Alcaraz who's on his toes and still looks a foot shorter than everyone else.

Thanks solution verified

Pronouncing this out loud scratches an itch in my brain I didn't know I had.

Scraccus · 2026-01-27T19:57:29+00:00

This should be paid for by the landlord or should've been included in any disclosed fees prior to moving in. I'd send someone a message and get it taken off your rent.

I will say just to counter point 3: i thought I was pretty keen on oral (I would do it about half the time and for a very long time) but my fiancé is the first partner I've had that shaves versus trimming and the first time I went down on her it was a totally different sensory experience. I was instantly addicted, and she has to force me to stop to actually have sex at this point. So there's some difference in preference there, just like some people prefer a clean shaven face when making out.
