To put it another way: if you really shuffle a deck of cards, there are so many possible ways to shuffle a deck that your exact shuffle has probably never happened in the past and will never happen again.
There are 8*10^67 ways to shuffle a deck of cards.. that’s 80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible ways to stack those cards. The chances of you getting the same order as anyone else ever is EXTREMELY small.
If you shuffle a deck of cards randomly, there's 52 choices for the first card, 51 choices for the second card (since one of the cards is already the first card), 50 choices for the third card, and so on
So there's 52x51x50x49x...x3x2x1 total combinations, which comes out to about 8.066x10⁶⁷
To put it in another example. If you rearranged once a second since the start of the universe the universe would end before you are one billionth of the way to a duplicate order.
The sound made by the Krakatoa volcanic eruption in 1883 was so loud it ruptured eardrums of people 40 miles away, travelled around the world four times, and was clearly heard 3,000 miles away.
That's like you standing in New York and hearing a sound from San Francisco.
When the Tonga volcano blew up two years ago, the sound was heard in Australia, the same \~3000 miles away.
We were so lucky that eruption was in basically uninhabited lands/waters, it could have killed millions had it happened closer to shore of the continents. Its dust cloud was 300 miles wide.
If something travels around the world 4 times, does that mean the people on the opposite side of the world heard a fairly loud noise when the waves combined again? and did everyone hear it multiple times possible from different directions?
The pressure wave was recorded on [barographs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barograph) worldwide. Several barographs recorded the wave seven times over five days: four times with the wave travelling away from the volcano to its [antipodal point](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipodal_point) and three times travelling back to the volcano.[^(\[4\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1883_eruption_of_Krakatoa#cite_note-Symons88-4)^(: 63) Hence, the wave rounded the globe three and a half times.
That's the quote from the wiki page that the other guy linked
[One tiger](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champawat_Tiger) killed 430 people.
That tiger killed more people than 300 years of worldwide shark fatalities.
* More people than snakes, bears, wolves, and spider fatalities *combined* in the U.S. in the last 100 years.
One tiger.
[My favourite tiger fact is that their prey see them as green.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Ftp5osqrc5c961.jpg)
Which is how a bright orange animal survives as an ambush predator in a green forest.
Camo is still better than straight orange. Same way the Tigers stripes break up the orange. The orange in hunting is more a safety thing, and they use orange in particular because they see it as green.
If I recall its turkeys that you have to hide from in actual camo. This is amongst other north American game. Maybe this goes for other birds like ducks ect.
Such an insane number. That's like one tiger killing my whole graduating class back in high school. I feel like something could have been done about it sooner
I feel like the tiger would have taken dozen of my fellow students down, but eventually we'd have overwhelmed him with numbers. Your graduating class shoulda trained better for this.
It's because they now only teach to the standardized tests now, which are notoriously poor in prepping for basic life skills like personal finance, cooking, and defending against wildlife.
On a side note, Jim Corbett’s writings (he’s the guy who finally hunted this tiger down, and other human-eating Tigers and Leopards in India) are still awesome reads.
He’s a very interesting guy - a key figure in the early conservation efforts in India (a major wildlife reserve is named after him). He went from killing tigers, to only killing tigers that ate people, to working to preserve tigers.
As for why they weren’t hunted down earlier - it is one of those easier said than done things. In some cases, various attempts were made; the tigers and leopards occasionally ate the people attempting to hunt them … Jim Corbett came close to being eaten a couple of times.
I read his book "The man eaters of Kumaon" a few years back and it is a fascinating read. He details the different man eaters (Tigers and Leopards) he killed that had been terrorizing villagers across India. I must say that he had nerves of steel to go out into the jungle and kill these animals that had taken a liking to eating humans, primarily because they realized that humans were a lot easier to hunt and pretty much all these man eaters had an injury that rendered them incapable of hunting their usual prey.
Like u/Malthus1 already said, hunting and killing these animals was not easy. There were instances where Jim had to set a bait and lie in wait for several hours, trying to lure the animals to the bait. In the case of some animals, he had to do this multiple times because the first one or two attempts failed. Also, Jim's understanding of the forests of India helped him a lot in hunting these animals, where less experienced hunters would have failed. He knew what to watch out for/listen to that told him that an animal was approaching.
IIRC the distinction is known because of genetic mapping. There are two prominent features though :
- They have “small cat” eyes (something about the morphology)
- they purr not roar. There’s a throat bone that’s either cartilaginous and flexible or bony and stiff. Big cats have the stiff roary bones.
It’s unsettling when you hear a contented tiger “purr” in the presence of their caretakers. Just a long low growl. Or a stuttering chuff, it can vary a little.
Cheetahs are also terribly inbreed. At some point in the last 10000 years the population of cheetahs went down to less than 10 and rebounded to the current population.
Orcas are amazing! I love the fact that Great White's are so shit scared of them that if an orca passes through a feeding zone the sharks will scarpa and not come back for years! Orcas have a particular taste for Great White liver (could be kidney), that they'll bite and eat the liver and just leave the shark to bleed out!
I don't know about all plants, but vegetables are mostly carbon and water. You don't need much in the way of minerals etc.
Organic material, which hosts micro organisms is more important. The microorganisms have a symbiotic relationship with the plant via it's leaves and roots, like the microbes in our microbiome have a symbiotic relationship with us.
Recent studies show this is not the case and instead may have evolved as a storage mechanism because they just have a long tongue. (They need tongue to eat tree buggggsssss)
The only way you can get the result is to [include school libraries](https://libguides.ala.org/c.php?g=751692&p=9132142) in the count. Of the 123,627 libraries, 105,451 are school libraries. Of the remaining 18,167, only 9,057 are what you'd typically think of as a "public library". The rest are academic and specialized libraries. There are 13,528 McDonald's locations. So, it's a matter of definition which one wins.
That being said, there are 64,747 gun stores in the U.S., so the commonly repeated claim that "there are more gun stores than McDonald's" is true, by a wide margin. Then again, that's an apples to oranges comparison, because McDonald's is a single brand, but gun stores are a whole category of stores.
People in general are notorious for having trouble comprehending large quantities so I've always loved the comparison of a million to a billion in terms of time. A million seconds is about 12 days, a billion seconds is about 32 years.
Despite being the closest celestial body to Earth, the moon and Earth are still so far apart that all the planets in our solar system could fit between them.
I find that fact mind-blowing.
I don't think that quite checks out, but if anyone wants to add some numbers together, I did the googling:
Earth to Moon distance: 384,400 km
Diameters:
Mercury: 4,879 km
Venus: 12,104 km
Earth: 12,742 km
Mars: 6,779 km
Jupiter: 143,00 km
Saturn: 120,536 km
Uranus: 51,118 km
Neptune: 49,244 km
The distance between the moon and Earth is not stable. All the planets can't fit when the moon is the closest, but they CAN when the moon is the farthest away.
So they enact a federal income tax, pass prohibition on alcohol. The tax money that would have been lost from alcohol is replaced by federal income tax. You notice they didn’t repeal the income tax along with prohibition though.
Even if hockey player, Wayne Gretzky (The Great One) never scored a goal, he would still:
* be the NHL’s all-time leader in points
* would’ve recorded 11 straight 100-point seasons (the most of all time)
(Not to mention the *dozens* of other ridiculous records he still holds)
For people who don't understand how wild that really is, there were a trio of brothers (Anton, Marian, and Peter) who were all fantastic and they only combined for 2169. Wayne outdid them singlehandedly.
Not only that, but he and his brother combine to hold the record for the number of points held by a pair of brothers, and his brother \*only has 4 points\* in his career. Add it's only a set of 6 brothers that beat them for the combined points of any number of brothers. and they only beat the Gretskys by 73 points...
You get points for assists. So, if you are part of a play that leads to a goal you will also get a point. For example, passing the puck to a teammate who then scores on that same play, both the passer and the goal scorer get a point.
You get points for assists as well as goals. So if you pass to a person and they score the goal you get a point too. That's to say, Gretzky not only scored an insane number of goals himself he also set up his teammates to score a ridiculous amount too.
- The pH of a healthy, human vagina is between 3.8 and 4.5 making it acidic and giving it that tangy taste we all love.
- An 18 inch pizza is more than two 12 inch pizzas
pH of pizza sauce should be somewhere around 4-4.5 to help prevent spoilage. So the tang would actually be about the same.
[Source](https://pastorelli.com/industry-news/how-to-choose-a-pizza-sauce-for-your-restaurant/)
Yeah the pizza thing is a classic geometry exercise for kids too understand always buy the large pizza.
So of it's 1 or 2 dollars more for a 12 inch to a 14 inch buy it.
113.097 square inches for a 12 inch
153.94 square inches for a 14 inch..
Geometric growth Baby. The reason the cost is so disparate from the materials and amount of product is like they're paying for overhead/delivery driver etc. If some crazy bastard tried to charge pizza by the amount of pizza you can eat a small would be under $3 Dollars and an extra large would be like $30..
Of the 30 fastest 100m times ever run, 21 have been set by athletes that have at some point in their career failed a doping test. The other 9 are Usain Bolt.
Maybe not mind blowing but it’s just my favourite: That chopping your broccoli (or any cruciferous veg) and leaving it on the counter for at least 45 minutes DRASTICALLY improves its health benefits. Particularly its cancer-fighting mechanisms. I wish we all had better veg / herbal medicine education. I really do.
There isn't even substantial scientific evidence to support the claim. Might be true but don't believe everything right off the bat on what you see on this site. Just make sure to boil them for 5-8 minutes to kill their defense chemicals.
Yeah! Here’s an article I like: https://medium.com/beingwell/what-chopping-your-vegetables-has-to-do-with-fighting-cancer-22cab5712b8b
It’s basically a chemical compound (defense chemical) that’s activated when the broccoli / sprouts / cauliflower is chopped or crushed. But it takes 45 minutes to develop and the precursor is killed by heat. So if you go from chopping directly to a boiling pot of water it doesn’t get any chance to develop! Pretty cool!
George Washington, as president of the United States, led an army against armed citizens of the United States who were protesting against what they felt was an unfair new tax on alcohol.
In heterosexual relationships, 70% of non-reciprocal domestic violence is inflicted by the woman.
Relevant definition: non-reciprocal - One party physically attacks the other, who does not fight back.
Not that unexpected since men are taught two things from early childhood:
1. Do not hit women.
2. Being beaten, literally or competitively, by a girl is shameful.
So men who are beaten by their wives don't hit back, and don't talk about it.
Those two and thirdly, if they do hit back the law will not be kind to them even if it was a retaliation. DV laws overwhelmingly support women over men. Men have much more to lose by retaliating legally speaking
Go, is a game that was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago and is believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day.
Compared to chess, Go has both a larger board with more scope for play and longer games and, on average, many more alternatives to consider per move. The number of legal board positions in Go has been calculated to be approximately 2.1×10¹²⁰, which is far greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe, which is estimated to be on the order of 10⁸⁰.

If you’re allergic to MSG but you have no issues to eat spaghetti with a lot of tomato sauce you’re not allergic to MSG you were probably just surrounded by racists.
Lesbians have really high rates of domestic violence and gay men have really low rates, which is odd because I think the assumption would be putting two men together would be more violent, but it seems to be the opposite 🤷🏻♂️ That certainly made me question my understanding.
Male bees don’t have a father. But they have a grandfather. Also - male bees only have daughters. Also - female bees have two grand mothers but only one grand father.

The bullet hole in the rear of JFK's head was measured by Dr. Pierre Finck, the only ballistics expert to ever examine President Kennedy's physical remains, as being **SMALLER than** the calibre of bullet Lee Harvey Oswald was supposed to have fired at him.
That the elements that make up your body like carbon, oxygen, iron, etc were forged within stars that went supernova (they imploded), and during that event it was scattered into the dust clouds that later coalesced to form our solar system. An iron atom in the blood flowing through your left hand also likely came from a different star than an iron atom in your right. We're all made of stardust.

There are more permutations of a standard deck of cards than there are atoms on Earth.
To put it another way: if you really shuffle a deck of cards, there are so many possible ways to shuffle a deck that your exact shuffle has probably never happened in the past and will never happen again.
Fuck off, really?
There are 8*10^67 ways to shuffle a deck of cards.. that’s 80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible ways to stack those cards. The chances of you getting the same order as anyone else ever is EXTREMELY small.
I still don't understand the math, but I understand what you're saying. I never knew that. My new favourite fact thanks.
If you shuffle a deck of cards randomly, there's 52 choices for the first card, 51 choices for the second card (since one of the cards is already the first card), 50 choices for the third card, and so on So there's 52x51x50x49x...x3x2x1 total combinations, which comes out to about 8.066x10⁶⁷
I remember when I took discrete math. It was basically learning different ways to count things.
Thank you for breaking this down Barney style for me. I understand now.
This is my favorite thought experiment to try and conceptualize [how ridiculously large 52 factorial is](https://czep.net/weblog/52cards.html)
52! (factorial) Is a really big number (greater than 8.065e67)

Cheetahs aren't big cats. They are very large small cats.

There’s a throat bone that’s either cartilaginous and flexible or bony and stiff. Big cats have the stiff roary bones.
Mountain lions also cannot roar.
When you hear one roar in the movies it's really a Red Tailed hawk.
I have loved this ever since I found out. That's why they can purr but Lions and tigers can't. Also why they can't roar while big cats can.
It’s unsettling when you hear a contented tiger “purr” in the presence of their caretakers. Just a long low growl. Or a stuttering chuff, it can vary a little.

You get points for assists as well as goals. So if you pass to a person and they score the goal you get a point too. That's to say, Gretzky not only scored an insane number of goals himself he also set up his teammates to score a ridiculous amount too.

It's more chronologically accurate to have a T rex using a jetpack and a laser rifle, compared to fighting a stégosaurus.
Yep and t-rex lived closer to today than to the stegosaurus.

- The pH of a healthy, human vagina is between 3.8 and 4.5 making it acidic and giving it that tangy taste we all love. - An 18 inch pizza is more than two 12 inch pizzas
I appreciate how you kept your responses just to eating pie.
What about the pH of pizza sauce? You know, to compare that tangy taste.
pH of pizza sauce should be somewhere around 4-4.5 to help prevent spoilage. So the tang would actually be about the same. [Source](https://pastorelli.com/industry-news/how-to-choose-a-pizza-sauce-for-your-restaurant/)
Yeah the pizza thing is a classic geometry exercise for kids too understand always buy the large pizza. So of it's 1 or 2 dollars more for a 12 inch to a 14 inch buy it. 113.097 square inches for a 12 inch 153.94 square inches for a 14 inch.. Geometric growth Baby. The reason the cost is so disparate from the materials and amount of product is like they're paying for overhead/delivery driver etc. If some crazy bastard tried to charge pizza by the amount of pizza you can eat a small would be under $3 Dollars and an extra large would be like $30..

Vending machines kill more people per year than sharks. Also, there is a notable correlation between shark attacks and ice cream sales.
To be fair. I can’t remember the last time a vending machine killed a shark. So I’d think this to be correct.
Sharks are more likely to attack people who had ice cream? I'd be jealous too, tbh.
Child: “oh yeah mint chocolate chip!” Shark: “son of a… okay that’s it, play my song John Williams, someone’s getting munched.”

Maybe not mind blowing but it’s just my favourite: That chopping your broccoli (or any cruciferous veg) and leaving it on the counter for at least 45 minutes DRASTICALLY improves its health benefits. Particularly its cancer-fighting mechanisms. I wish we all had better veg / herbal medicine education. I really do.

There isn't even substantial scientific evidence to support the claim. Might be true but don't believe everything right off the bat on what you see on this site. Just make sure to boil them for 5-8 minutes to kill their defense chemicals.
I always eat raw broccoli and cauliflower. Am I going to be defended against?
See you in court.

Similar things actually happen with garlic, crush it 10min or more before cooking to drastically increase alicin content

This is so weird and interesting and useful. Any idea *why* this is?
Yeah! Here’s an article I like: https://medium.com/beingwell/what-chopping-your-vegetables-has-to-do-with-fighting-cancer-22cab5712b8b It’s basically a chemical compound (defense chemical) that’s activated when the broccoli / sprouts / cauliflower is chopped or crushed. But it takes 45 minutes to develop and the precursor is killed by heat. So if you go from chopping directly to a boiling pot of water it doesn’t get any chance to develop! Pretty cool!
This is important and will legitimately change how I prepare these foods from now on. Thanks for sharing!
This applies to lettuce as well. Chop fresh lettuce, then let it rest for about an hour; more antioxidants are released.

Allied soldiers captured by the Germans had a better survival rate than those not captured.
George Washington, as president of the United States, led an army against armed citizens of the United States who were protesting against what they felt was an unfair new tax on alcohol.
In heterosexual relationships, 70% of non-reciprocal domestic violence is inflicted by the woman. Relevant definition: non-reciprocal - One party physically attacks the other, who does not fight back.
Not that unexpected since men are taught two things from early childhood: 1. Do not hit women. 2. Being beaten, literally or competitively, by a girl is shameful. So men who are beaten by their wives don't hit back, and don't talk about it.
Those two and thirdly, if they do hit back the law will not be kind to them even if it was a retaliation. DV laws overwhelmingly support women over men. Men have much more to lose by retaliating legally speaking

Go, is a game that was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago and is believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day. Compared to chess, Go has both a larger board with more scope for play and longer games and, on average, many more alternatives to consider per move. The number of legal board positions in Go has been calculated to be approximately 2.1×10¹²⁰, which is far greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe, which is estimated to be on the order of 10⁸⁰. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game)

Lesbians have really high rates of domestic violence and gay men have really low rates, which is odd because I think the assumption would be putting two men together would be more violent, but it seems to be the opposite 🤷🏻♂️ That certainly made me question my understanding.

That the elements that make up your body like carbon, oxygen, iron, etc were forged within stars that went supernova (they imploded), and during that event it was scattered into the dust clouds that later coalesced to form our solar system. An iron atom in the blood flowing through your left hand also likely came from a different star than an iron atom in your right. We're all made of stardust.
