  • If my quick maths has the correct assumptions, then we can store 225 Petabytes of data in the balls.

    Human sperm contains about 3 million base pairs (haploid genome).
    Each base pair of DNA (A, C, G, T) is encodable with 2 bits.
    3 million * 2 bits / 8 (to convert to bytes) = 750 MB.
    Using a rough and imprecise average of 300 million sperm cells stored in testicles, we get:
    300 million * 750 MB = 225 PB.

    Plenty of space for your savegame data!

    Strawberries are not berries (but aggregate accessory fruits). Cucumber, watermelon and pumpkin belong to the same family of plants. Tomatoes are fruit. Well botanically, vegetables do not exist anyway. Vegetables are a social construct. Also, wheat is a kind of grass. Isn’t our world beautiful?




  • No you won’t have empathy towards your enemies when you don’t have the luxury to do so.

    I don’t see how ‘luxury to do so’ should disprove my point.

    Regarding the rest:
    While I agree with the underlying sentiment, I wouldn’t go so far as to generalize entire population groups and claim they do not feel empathy, even if they kill others. Also: This is drifting a bit beyond what I wanted to point out, therefore I won’t go into more detail.
