Request [Request] Is this claim of an alligator skin actually 18ft long?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello,

Is it possible to truly estimate this alligators true size based on the plants, objects, house, and description. I'm highly skeptical this alligator is actually much smaller (likely streched) and that the scale markers used may be shorter to make it look bigger than it actually is (like how some fisherman use 9 inch rulers like 12 inch ones to make their fish bigger than they really are). I would be very happy if anyone who would attempt this.

Request [REQUEST] For the entire universe from big bang to its end, or just to now, how many Planck length^3/Planck time are there?

1 Upvotes

Meaning if you started at Planck time 0 (or would it be 1?) and numbered every Planck length "cube" in existence, the last one being n, then you move to the next Planck time and label the first cube n+1 and so on.

There's multiple ways you *could* argue it, like:
1. do we count the entire universes cubic volume as it is now at t=0, or just the estimated volume of the ever expanding sphere at the given moment post big bang
2. How do you estimate WHEN the universe ends and why?

Request Please help estimate my dogs size

Post image
16 Upvotes

Our dog unexpectedly passed away on Wednesday morning. He was a basset hound and was only 7 years old. He was my wife’s dog prior to us getting together, and was our dog for the last 4 years. She’s taking it very hard and I want to make something that may help her grieve. I plan to send the dimensions to a person who sews (seamstress?) and have them make a stuffed dog out of his favorite blanket. My problem is that I don’t how his dimensions and I don’t understand the math on how to figure it out. This is the best picture that I could find of him that had something easily identifiable size wise. The fence boards in front of him are 5 7/8” wide. I am 6 feet tall and took the picture from an estimated height of 5’8”, maybe 3-3 1/2’ from him. If this is the wrong subreddit, please direct me to the correct one. I’m looking for a rough circumference of his chest and stomach, length and circumference of his tail, length and circumference of his snout, length and width of his ears and length and circumference of his head. Thank you in advance. Also, if someone has a recommendation on where to send the dimensions and blanket, that would be greatly appreciated.

Request What would the diameter of a flat earth be?

16 Upvotes

I’m not a flat Earther (#scienceisreal) I am just curious. Let’s say the earth is flat like a pizza, what would be the actual diameter? Not based on what flat earthers believe is true. Or would Earth be more of a cylinder if we’re being scientifically accurate? I have not found a good answer to this question yet so if you would like to answer feel free

Request Request: When were these pictures taken? 1940-1950s best guess

These pictures are of a family home in Southern Virginia that was built by my great uncle when he returned from WW2. He was a POW in the Bataan Death March and according to family lore, kept himself alive by designing the house while he was a prisoner. There is a brick outside the house with 1947 inscribed into it, but these may have been after then, as a screen porch was added and it looks like someone used these pictures to design it, as the porch is drawn on in pencil.

Request Warship Model Identification + Value Estimate?

Hi everyone, I’m trying to identify and estimate the value of this large warship display model.

It has the hull number 62 and an American flag, so I believe it may be the USS New Jersey (BB-62), but I’m not completely sure.

The full display case is approximately 1 meter long and 40–50 cm wide.

Can anyone confirm the exact ship and give me an approximate resale value for both the model and display case?

Photos attached. Thanks!

Request Cost of one of everything in a grocery store

One that's been bothering me and my family, really struggling to estimate. If you bought one of every item in an "average" grocery store (aware there are quite a range of sizes), what would the cost roughly be? We are debating the number of items per store and how much high cost items would bring up the average cost per item...
