[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] Doesn't arms span affects the difficulty of the Hercules holds?
I was watching powerlifting on TV and I wandered if having shorter or longer arms doesn't actually benefits to make the the holding easier due to a less lean angle. Was would be the difference between shorter and bigger arms span?

[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.

[Request] Are antique books becoming more or less common?
I saw a comment on a different reddit post that said:
Valuable or not, please don't butcher an antique book in great conditions. They aren't getting any more common.
While I obviously agree with the sentiment of avoiding destroying antique books, I'm curious whether or not the second part is technically true. On the one hand, antiques that get destroyed are irreplaceable. But on the other hand, every year, every book that still exists becomes a year older, and a year closer to becoming an antique itself. So if we take both of those factors into account, are antique books actually becoming more common or less common?
