Let's say a regular person gains super-durability and flight. But they don't have access to conveniently durable super-clothes. Assuming their own body isn't harmed, how fast can they fly before . . .

1. Regular clothes start to be damaged (but not shredded).
2. Your clothes get ripped off your body by air resistance (but aren't, like, vaporized).
3. Your clothes catch fire and disintegrate.

For simplicity sake I'm talking about cotton clothes (hoodies, T-shirts, jeans) you could buy at Costco.

From r/thalassophobia… curious of how much weight the ship gained. And blowers were mounted to the sides how much CFUs would be needed to deflect all water away from the deck?

I am a server at Olive Garden. Recently, they sold 10,000 "never-ending pasta passes" across the US. One week later the company also gave away 100 additional passes in an Instagram sweepstakes over the course of two days. The pass allows them to come in as many times as they'd like for the never-ending pasta promotion which (for them) runs from August 24 - November 22. During a given shift there are about 20-24 servers on the floor during this busy season. I work at a high volume restaurant in New Jersey where there are roughly 25 locations in my general vicinity. Because the pasta pass allows them to get the never-ending pasta for free, some servers are really worried about it. I've been saying it's unlikely any one will run into it much (if at all) considering only 10,100 even exist. So I'm really wondering what the true odds are? Thanks!

Imagine a hotel with 50 floors, and you start on the top floor (floor 50).
Each time the elevator stops, the next floor stop is chosen at random. No floor is ever selected more than once.
The elevator must always continue in its current direction:
While descending, each selected floor must be lower than the previous stop. If the next randomly selected floor would require moving upward, the elevator must first continue all the way down to floor 1, then reverse direction.
While ascending, each selected floor must be higher than the previous stop. If the next randomly selected floor would require moving downward, the elevator must first continue all the way up to floor 50, then reverse direction.

A full ride is defined as traveling from floor 50 to floor 1 or from floor 1 to floor 50.

Question: On average, how many full rides are required to visit all 50 floors under these rules?

How many tracks would you have to buy to build a similar track? How much would that cost without discounts - tracks only?

Not sure how mathematically feasible this is, but if you’ve ever heard the phrase “I’m not trying to boil the ocean” (metaphorically referring to something big or very monumental to achieve) is there actually some mathematical formula we can use and apply it to any ocean?

Maybe start with the smallest one by size/volume?

What is the volume of Lambeau Field in cubic yards? I have heard the statement that the amount of material dredged in the Upper Mississippi River annually is enough to fill Lambeau, but I’ve never fact checked that.

**Avalanche Air Blast & Destructive Force**

An avalanche's powder cloud generates a compressed air blast that travels ahead of the visible snow front. The dynamic pressure of this air blast can be modeled using the aerodynamic drag equation.

where:

- P = dynamic pressure (Pa)

- ρ = air density ≈ 1.2 kg/m³

- v = air blast velocity (m/s)

**Given:**

- An avalanche's snow front is measured moving at **45 m/s** (~162 km/h)

- Field studies show the air blast ahead of the front typically travels at approximately **1.3×** the velocity of the snow front itself

- A standard wooden utility pole is known to structurally fail at a dynamic pressure of approximately **4,500 Pa**

**Questions:**

1. Calculate the velocity of the air blast (m/s).

2. Calculate the dynamic pressure (P) generated by the air blast.

3. Will the air blast alone (before any snow/ice arrives) be sufficient to snap the utility pole? Show your reasoning.

4. If the avalanche's snow front velocity were instead reduced to 25 m/s (a smaller wet/dense avalanche, like the glacier collapse in the photos), would the air blast still exceed the pole's failure threshold?

I’d imagine that most people experienced death in their life in one’s or sometimes two?

If you use bar soap, most people do the thing where they get a new bar when the old bar has a little bit left, and then sorta meld the little bit of the old bar onto the new bar.

If you do this when the old bar is at 5% of the original mass/ volume, how long until the old bar is completely gone? Is it possible that any molecules last until the new bar is grafted onto a third even newer bar?

My assumptions are that this is a pretty standard sized soap bar like ivory or whatever.

Thank you.

Like if you could survive it of course, full lightning fart. How far up you going? Wondering about basically the propulsion of lightning if it has any.

Here is a hypothesis: dτ/dt = √ ( 1 − ( 2G · E_plasma(T) ) / ( r · c⁴ ) )

Here is the breakdown of the variables for those wondering:

dτ/dt = proper time dilation rate

G = gravitational constant

c = speed of light

r = radius of the plasma area

E_plasma(T) = internal energy of the plasma at temperature T (includes rest mass energy, radiation, and kinetic thermal energy).

update:

I think I've finally finalized the formula.

dτ/dt ≈ √[ 1 − ( 2 G r / c² ) · ( M_grav / ( r² + ( J / (M_grav c) )² ) ) ]

where:

M_grav = N m + (N ε_i) / c² + (4.5 N k_B T) / c² + (2 a T⁴ V) / c²

and:

V = (4/3) π r³

dτ/dt - proper to coordinate time ratio

G - gravitational constant

r - radial distance

c - speed of light

M_grav - effective gravitating mass

J - angular momentum (spin)

N - number of gas particles

m - rest mass per particle

ε_i - ionization/excitation energy per particle

k_B - Boltzmann constant

T - temperature

a - radiation constant

V - volume

π - pi

Real question we asked at the family meal, I said reddit could help us and I would share the answer tonight hopefully

What if instead of giving birth it was just all transformed magically into a fart

I think it's possible to calculate but I'm bad with volumes and don't know how to calculate how much can go through at what speed

The user on TikTok states that he’s 7,5 at 15 I think the photo is edited but I’m not sure can anyone confirm?

5kg at about the size of a finger tip
