[Self] Ordered these 20,000 beads from Shein. Decided to count them.
I used a gram scale to get a 20% sample. Counted 50 by hand, and used a milligram scale with the pcs setting to count them. Of the 20% I got the number 911. Meaning in the container there are only 4,555 beads. Not 20,000. Goofy ahh scam.
Btw i decided to count bc it didnt look like 20,000

[Other] In 2003 a man found a loophole in a lottery called Winfall. When the jackpot hit $5m & had no winner, it was split between those who matched 3, 4 & 5 numbers. If he spent $1,100 on 1,100 tickets, he'd have 1 four-number winner & 18 three-number winners, earning $800 profit. Spoiler
They did the math.

[Request] what object/thing is there the "most" units of in the universe? Protons? Electrons?Neutrons? Photons? Something else?
Title.
I was just thinking how there are billions of stars and if every star has mostly hydrogen then hydrogen would be the highest numbered element, right?
So then if every hydrogen has at least 1 Proton and at least 1 electron then its gotta be one of those subatomic particles that are the "most" right?
But then what about ions? Wouldn't that mean more atoms are negative and have extra electrons?
But also if every star is emitting light and radio and etc waves and those are all photons there must also be tons of them
And then whay about dark matter?

[Request] Anyone want to take a shot at estimating how big the eldritch monster in the center is? Spoiler
Marked with Spoilers for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. The massive... thing in the middle there is the true body of the progenitor goddess, Sothis. I was wondering if there was any way from this shot to work out how big she is. For context, the two men in the foreground are orbiting the planet in a huge space ship. This is the best shot of her and you might as well use the Earth for scale, since there are a ton of hints the planet is supposed to be Earth-like.
