It wasn't an even 50% from everyone though. Some people had no loss of gut bacteria, other people had 75 - 100% snapped away

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That's not how statistics works. Every person will lose almost exactly 50%.

Estimates for the number of bacterial cells within the average 70kg Human male is around 38 trillion

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_microbiome

Do you know what the chance of 100% of them being snapped is?

0.50 ^ (38 trillion) = 0.0000000000000...

The calculator ran out of zeros.

It depends on how the snap worked. It was 50% of all life in the universe. Was that 50% of every species? Or just 50% of all living things? If it's the latter it's possible some species were missed entirely while others were completely wiped out.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

If it's alive it had a 50/50 shot.

But no one lost 50% of their own cells, so clearly if it's alive and can be classified as a single organism. Is the gut micro biome an independent body of organisms, or is it just like any other organ of the human body, and thus would have been unaffected by the snap?

Either everyone lost almost exactly 50% of their gut biome, or, about half of all living organisms lost 100% of it, or, no one lost any part of it. Those are the only three possibilities.

The more interesting question is were viruses affected? Or did the magic stones not consider them life?

It's random and it effected the entire universe. Can your calculator tell you how big the universe is?
