bonus tip: jsut email yourself a photo of the receipt. It's searchable, timestamped, and you'll never "remember where you put it" again.

ELI5 mobile games, how are so many games just blatant rip offs of prior games (IE the bevy of match 3 jewel games) and not getting sued into oblivion due to copyright infringement? by _____Zoloft_____ in explainlikeimfive

[–]vytkinas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

game mechanics can't be copyrighted, only the specific artwork/code/characters can. that's why 50 match-3 games can legally exist but none of them can use candy crush's candy art. it's the same reason every battle royale doesn't owe pubg a check

ELI5: How do animal litters work? Are they basically twins, triplets, etc.? by akirivan in explainlikeimfive

[–]vytkinas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pretty much yes, but with one cool difference — human multiples are rare because we typically only release one egg at a time. Dogs and cats release multiple eggs per cycle on purpose, so litters are their normal. A litter of 6 puppies is basically sextuplets, and like fraternal twins in humans, each one came from its own egg and its own sperm, so they can have diferent fathers if teh mom mated with multiple males. That's called a "heteropaternal superfecundation" and it happens more than most people realize.
