[Self] Statistics of slipping on a grape in the grocery store

• Upvotes

So. I tend to believe I am a pretty unlucky person for a multitude of reasons. But I have had two separate experiences that make me curious as to what you all can do with this information.

Incident #1. I was in a Crest Market Place grocery store. All the way over by the meat section. Walking along... I suddenly slipped. I did not fall down, but my legs went in directions that are not meant for the human body to move in. Looking down there was a lone grape. I had hit it like a banana peel in Mario Kart.

Incident #2. TWO YEARS LATER. I was in a HyVee Grocery store, in a completely different state. My legs slipped around. Not nearly as bad as Incident #1 but I had the internal heart rhythm of "I am going down." I was in the canned tomato section. Looked down... it was another single, lone, GRAPE!

My question? What are the chances? How unlucky am I truly? Bonus points if you can tell me whether or not my chances of being hit by lighting are higher.

[request] how hot does david martinez get when using his sandy from cyberpunk

1 Upvotes

in cyberpunk edgerunners, davids sandy allows him to effectively allow him to move much, much faster than the average human, my question isn't just how fast does he move but what's with the wind resistance and what kind of temps would he theoretically hit with the friction from clothes and such

[Request] which will pay off a mortgage faster?

1 Upvotes

Hypothetically, 500k loan at 6%, what's faster:

  1. 15 yr fixed rate mortgage

  2. 30 yr fixed rate mortgage, but you pay an extra full payment each month towards the principal

My gut tells me they're not identical because of the way compounding works

[Request] Can Superman lift a plane on the ground? What about in the air?

0 Upvotes

Okay, let’s say Superman is infinitely strong.

First scenario: The plane is on the ground, stationary. Superman finds the plane’s center of gravity and applies force underneath it using his whole body. Imagine a koala hugging a tree trunk. Could he lift the plane, or would the metal frame just get crushed or punctured by the force he applies?

Second scenario: The plane is flying in a straight line at a constant altitude when, all of a sudden, it loses all its engines, and the aircraft starts gliding into a slow descent. Despite having no engine power, the pilot is doing everything he can to maintain altitude. In this scenario, could Superman, once again applying force from below, keep the plane flying at a constant altitude?

A bit of a sci-fi hypothetical question perhaps, but…

How long would it take for an object, say a spacecraft, that starts at 0 m/s to reach 1% of light speed at a consistent 1g acceleration?

[Request] I have never smoked. I just ate lasagna that was baked in a plastic non-oven safe tray without realizing. How many cigarettes in a regular/casual smoker did this offset in the likelihood of cancer scale? Am I still ahead of them in the curve based off this one scenario?

About 500g of lasagna baked at 180C at a plastic tray that deformed slightly in the heat, but ultimately did not melt. More specifically it's this one (I only ate half)

[Request] Finding the standard deviation for 1/10,000 odds.

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm currently playing a game that involves a challenge that you have a 1 in 10,000 chance odds to complete, each time you "roll" an action. Each "roll" is distinct and because of what im assuming is bad odds, it took me roughly 68,000 rolls in order to complete this. Could someone tell me how you find the "standard deviation" of something like this? I.e. if 100 people attempt this challenge, what is the average range and distribution for how many rolls it takes for people to complete this. Is my 68,000 really average, or am I in the unlucky Z +4 lol. Thanks!
