he would have to snap his fingers infinitely many times to kill everyone so he is not that powerful
That’s an interesting question as to whether the infinity gauntlet rounds down.
Like, if there were 3 survivors of a species and thanos snapped the universe, does the gauntlet round up to 2 survivors, or down to one?
I thought it was just an instantaneous, every living thing has a 50/50 chance of living or dying. No rounding, no species specific exceptions.
So that means that since bacteria and the like outnumber us by orders of magnitude, statistically speaking, multicellular life would be wiped out completely.
No, they reproduce pretty quickly. Wipe out 50 % of the bacteria in your body, and they will recover in a few hours.
That's not how probabilities work. Every lifeform flips a coin. It doesn't matter what everyone else got, you still have a 50/50 chance.
or down to one and a half?
Oh, see, it's a cartoon so it's not real.
Hope this helps.
Oh, see, it’s called having fun.
Hope this helps.
Does not compute
Any chance you're a lawyer? It would make more sense to want to hammer out the precise rules of the fake universe if you're a rule lover
Physicists come pretty close too, and guess where you are
At the top it says "new", so I am in the new section!
Oooooh I love stemlord! He's the one with the plucky raccoon and the jetpacks right?
No idea. I just ~~read~~ heard that this is A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Maybe something to do with stems with a lot of CAPITAL.
