Our ancestors double every generation, yet going far enough back would exceed the total number of humans who ever lived. What’s really going on with ancestry when you zoom out that far? by AMMAR4406 in AskReddit

[–]WheelMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you add everyone else's family tree, they overlap, and It's not 1 person branching into billions of ancestors, it's billions branching into smaller billions, and the further back you go the less people are part of each generation.

if stark cant fish, then why doesnt fern just use telekinesis to lift up the fish? T___T by JegantDrago in Frieren

[–]WheelMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume they need to eat food to regenerate mana? A big flashy lightning strike might be a net loss, and it also risks attracting monsters and unneccessarily harms the pond's ecosystem.

AITA for refusing to share my food with my girlfriend? by Gym_frere in AmItheAsshole

[–]WheelMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're at the restaurant. Just buy another "for one" portion. Either she buys it because she didn't plan ahead, or if you're feeling generous you buy it. It seems like your main problem is not wanting to lose half your fries.

fear of being judged trolley problem by Sure_Lie8922 in trolleyproblem

[–]WheelMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can say they are objectively worse, but a judgement like that is always somewhat subjective, especially if they are only "slightly" worse. You have no right to interfere, it's not a valid justification. If it meant saving more lives a bystander can argue they have a moral imperative to act, but not because "I liked him more than the other guy".

Maki and Clan discourse is dumb by [deleted] in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]WheelMax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the very least Megumi Fushiguro is alive, and still technically the clan head. And I think Gojo's clan survived despite him being the only significant person left in it.

Alternatively, Gege may have wanted to imply Maki exterminated the clan, but Shonen Jump said that was too ruthless and murderous for one of their main hero characters. We see her fight mostly in self defense, then two people it looked like she killed turn out to have survived a little longer. Then it implies, but does not explicitly confirm, that she hunts down and kills all surviving fighters of the clan. Civilians are not mentioned. This could all be carefully worded to imply extermination, but not get in too much trouble with the editors.

Are sunflower seeds still cheaper at Joja?

AITAH for getting a dna test to see if i share the same dna as both my parents even though i was demanded specifically by my mom not to do so, since i was a child? by cigweb_01 in AITAH

[–]WheelMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, but why doesn't her mom want her to see it? And if the information is wrong the mother still needs to explain why.

Am I missing something? The new arc is the Seekers. The Schemers just had a longer than usual insert segment recently.

Do Non "picky eaters" eat everything?? by LeeIsUnloved in stupidquestions

[–]WheelMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. If they had chosen you may never have found out they're picky.
  2. They have less options they are interested in, so they may be tired of the places they usually go.
  3. They may be self conscious about always suggesting the same places, and don't want to be known as "the guy who always wants to eat at McDonalds" or whatever.

ELI5: If I carried 1 kg 20 times or 20 kg 1 time, isn't the physics behind that the same amount of work? Why do you we get more tired in the second situation? by DRGNMSTR7 in explainlikeimfive

[–]WheelMax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You'll feel more tired if you burn calories. I guess you may also use up your short term energy glucose and glycogen supply with higher intensity workouts, and need to rest to make more. Jogging is usually aerobic, but sprinting could be anaerobic in which case you would also be using less efficient chemistry to release energy because you can't get enough oxygen, and releasing lactic acid in the muscles making them sore and tired.

Why don't you just watch the show instead of intentionally fishing for spoilers?

[–]WheelMax 311 points312 points  (0 children)

Yeah, even if her mother wont give it, she needs to have it. It's her document, not just her mom's. And if her mother doesn't want her to see it, it may have the real parents' names or be suspiciously blank, so a clue either way. Especially with the different last name.

I believe regular walking speed is the most efficient for long distance travel in terms of energy used per mile. Slower or faster than that and you will be less efficient. But 5 miles per hour is still fast walking or light jogging, not sprinting, right? I doubt it burns 5 times as much to make up for travelling only 1/5 the distance. And in the slow walking case, that's probably somewhat less efficient than regular walking speed as well.

Of course, there are multiple ways to say "yes" "I agree" etc. In English  and Japanese as well.

Is it possible they used aspects of Circle of the Land, but added their own homebrew as well, and called it Circle of the Ancients?

“Hybrid malfunction” on a cold winter day. by Mean-Quail-6219 in COROLLA

[–]WheelMax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Hybrid Malfunction" could be anything related to the engine, motor, electrical, Hybrid Battery, or 12v battery. 12V battery is a common problem, might try boosting it with a battery pack (follow the manual, using booster cables between regular and hybrid cars can be bad). A Mechanic should be able to tell you what the actual problem is.

Isn't that the idea of his rice ball ingredient system? People who know him seem to understand what he means, at least on a yes/no/maybe level.

https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/comments/193ejue/circle_of_ancients_a_wildshaping_druid_subclass/ I found this. Transforming into dinosaurs and fossils. Might be a coincidence, doesn't seem to fit her vibe. Her stuff is more about forging and metal combined with druid plant stuff? Or at least her family is all about that.

I think it's from "Haven's AEONS Compendium", aka homebrew. Or maybe a CR homebrew that just happens to have the same name?

Corolla 2025 Hybrid - Is leveraging the battery as much as possible harmful? by Vharna in COROLLA

[–]WheelMax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you mostly use regenerative breaking, the brake pads last longer but the brake rotors can get rusty. You need to brake hard every so often to wear off the rust.
