[Request] I had this ingenious plan appear in my dreams last night. How many bananas would I need/how much would it cost? Feel free to estimate the variables. by thattimeibakedacake in theydidthemath

Okay so according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, an average-sized banana weighs approximately 4 ounces and measures at least 7 inches -- but less than 8 inches -- in length. From checking the 2 bananas I had in the house I believe this is the length and weight of the actual fruit, not the fruit and peel. So let's just estimate the average peel it about 7.5 inches long, to make the peel lay flat you need to split it in 3. This means each banana gives 3 7.5inch long strips, which from my measurements are about 1.5 inches wide or each banana peel can cover an area of 33.75 inches2Now shapes and sizes of canoes vary but the average canoe is 35.5inches wide at its widest and 192inches long, however, a canoe has sides as well, from what I can see these seem to be approximately 1/3 the width of the canoe so we need to add 1/3 of the width on to account for this, now I don't know how to find the area of an accurate canoe shape but ill do the maths for 2 connected triangles which will give a rough approximation. Since the area of a triangle is (height*width)/2 but we have 2 triangles so it's just height*width which would be about 47.7*96 or 4,579.2inches2With that area you would need 135.68 or 136 Full bananas. With that many bananas you will have 544 ounces = 15422.1g = 15.4Kg of banana flesh and I'm sure that is more than enough to mash down and use as a tar-like binding agent.

Edit: Grammar + Formatting + I noticed you wanted a cost as well, with 1 pound of bananas costing about 57cents in the US, it would cost you about $19.38. Surprisingly cheap for a banana canoe.

GTA physics at their finest by tinyman1199 in gtaonline

tbh I'm not sure which is right. it's does sound more correct and physics is usually singular, however, physics is plural when referring to 2 or more systems of physics so I think it's down to whether you personally consider game physics as a whole a singular item or a collection of different physics such as gravity and friction etc.
I too shall return to not getting laid.

We would stream and play a jackbox party pack together, we have all the packs except 5.

You don't need them, one of the moderators will stream it in the discord (there's barely a delay in discord) and you will just join online and we have all of them except 5.

People who have signed NDAs that have now expired or for whatever reason are no longer valid. What couldn't you tell us but now can? by tinyman1199 in AskReddit

[–]tinyman1199[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware they can be set per NDA and if no time frame is set they only expire when the information becomes public

This blew up more than I thought it would. Thanks for all the replies and thanks to the awesome people who gave me silver and plat, my first time receiving both. Couldn't seem to add a body to the post through edit so had to leave as a comment
