What level of cerebral necrosis is this?

(Also if I did any math wrong, please correct me, lol)

Just realized I never ended up posting Vampire Math. So, I now present to you…

How Much Blood does a Vampire Need to Survive?

Option 1

Vampire Bats drink ~40% of their body weight in blood every day (average weight is 15-45 grams, they drink ~20 grams of blood).

Take the same measurements for humans- Average human weighs 62,000 grams. Blood makes up ~7% of a human's body weight. This means humans have roughly 4,340 grams of blood. If a humanoid wanted to drink 20% of their body weight in blood, they'd need to drink 24,800 grams of blood. So vampires would need to completely drain 5.71 humans per day.

Option 2

Humans need to consume 2,000-2,500 calories per day. One liter of blood is about 700 calories. The average human has 4.5-5.5 liters of blood. So a vampire would need to drink 2.86-3.57 liters of blood, less than one human, per day. The human would have leftover blood, but if it was all taken at the same time, they would die (losing 2.5-4 liters of blood is fatal). However, the vampire could take blood from multiple humans throughout the day, allowing their bodies to produce more blood (the human body produces 40-70 milliliters of blood per day).

@alltheweirdkidsinoneplace I know you said you were interested in my thoughts, so I wanted to make sure you saw.

So I did the math and even if Lando won in Brazil and Max finished outside the points but every other race stayed the same Max would have still won the wdc by 19 points 😮‍💨

Which would also mean that if Lando won Brazil, and Max finished outside the points, AND Lando didn’t give up that sprint win or get that stop go penalty in Qatar and finished p2 - Max would of STILL won the wdc by 3 points 🤯

This is.. completely healthy, right?

275 times in one day is totally fine, right?

I'm a completely normally functioning member of society, right?

right??

Only idealized systems that involve infinity — an infinitely long tape, an infinitely extensive grid of particles, an infinitely divisible space for placing pinballs and rubber ducks — can be truly undecidable. No one knows whether reality contains these sorts of infinities, but experiments definitely don’t. Every object on a lab bench has a finite number of molecules, and every measured location has a final decimal place. We can, in principle, completely understand these finite systems by systematically listing every possible configuration of their parts. So because humans can’t interact with the infinite, some researchers consider undecidability to be of limited practical significance. “There is no such thing as perfect knowledge, because you cannot touch it,” said Karl Svozil (opens a new tab), a retired physicist associated with the Vienna University of Technology in Austria. “These are very important results. They are very, very profound,” Wolpert said. “But they also ultimately have no implications for humans.” Other physicists, however, emphasize that infinite theories are a close — and essential — approximation of the real world. Climate scientists and meteorologists run computer simulations that treat the ocean as if it were a continuous fluid, because no one can analyze the ocean molecule by molecule. They need the infinite to help make sense of the finite. In that sense, some researchers consider infinity — and undecidability — to be an unavoidable aspect of our reality. “It’s sort of solipsistic to say: ‘There are no infinite problems because ultimately life is finite,’” Moore said. And so physicists must accept a new obstacle in their quest to acquire the foresight of Laplace’s demon. They could conceivably work out all the laws that describe the universe, just as they have worked out all the laws that describe pinball machines, quantum materials, and the trajectories of rubber ducks. But they’re learning that those laws aren’t guaranteed to provide shortcuts that allow theorists to fast-forward a system’s behavior and foresee all aspects of its fate. The universe knows what to do and will continue to evolve with time, but its behavior appears to be rich enough that certain aspects of its future may remain forever hidden to the theorists who ponder it. They will have to be satisfied with being able to discover where those impenetrable pockets lie. “You’re trying to discover something about the way the universe or mathematics works,” Cubitt said. “The fact that it’s unsolvable, and you can prove that, is an answer.”

Whenever I'm considering whether or not I need glasses, I always gaslight myself into believing that I'm fine. And I mostly am. Right eye is 20/20 and left eye is 20/30, but then when I'm looking at the board in a classroom I have a very difficult time figuring out what it's saying.

each HEPTANT corresponds to a number 6-12, each vertex on the outer edge of the heptants corresponds to a number 1-5. we look at each intersection point inside a heptant: if it can add its outer vertex number to the corresponding outer vertex number of an edge it intersects, and the result is the heptant number, then that intersection point gets marked.

i had to cheat a bit with 11 and 12 since there's no way to add [1..5]+[1..5] and get a number greater than 10. it's fascinating how random-seeming the intersection points are.

Kinda funny that when I’m overtired I start doing stoichiometric equations and finding ways to do chemical reactions

fuck statistics all my homies hate statistics

should I study for my math exam? well yes but you know what FUCK MATH I just remembered tumblr existed so I’m back!! (actually just to stalk neil gaiman for go3 news…)

hc that the reason ford is so terrible with earth computers despite almost certainly having encountered more recent technology + technology based on current era technology while in the multiverse is that he's gotten way too familiar with alien computers and keeps trying to make normal computers work that way
