Okay fun fact according to a very shallow swim in which Iade no attempt to verify anything.

The blog to accounts ratio are currently 4:1 which means the average amount of blogs a Tumblr user has is four.

Hence my [number too big] blogs are totally okay and should not be discriminated against by the population of The HOUSE which consists of moots such as @moroniccats (also @whenyoulikeandwhereyoulike and @lestradelurkshere bc we were just talking about blogs)

Thinking about the fact that, most of the gods, have had statistically more demigod children in the Riordanverse of their own percieved gender. Like 6/7 of the seven have a godly parent with the same gender identity as them. So, I've decided to try and do the math, and see what percentage of demigods by each godly parent has the same percieved gender identity.

How I decided who to add:

Has to be mentioned in any of the Greco-Roman Riordanverse books *by name*; side stories included

Even if we know their gender, with no name, I didn't add them. But, if you want those numbers, maybe I'll do them someday

Cannot be a god

Can be dead: ghosts/ ressurections included

Can be real people, as long as Rick mentions them, no matter how contriversal they may be. Except for the leader of the Nazi party, he's not here.

Has to be a child of the god, not a legacy.

Can be Roman or Greek. If you want them split, I may do that, maybe not though.

Can appear in Percy Jackson Greek Heroes, as long as they *haven't* achieved godhood (looking at you, Heracles)

Video game and TV media *is* allowed, but honestly I don't think the TV show has any characters with canon godly parents whom we don't see yet.

For books, has to be written by Rick Riordan (except for Alabaster, but I added him anyway)

Last note, I am not infallible, and honestly could have missed people. I used the wiki as a reminder, but the wiki is honestly pretty fallible too and has a lot of missing people plus probably added people too, so if you notice someone missing or added, tell me, and I'll adjust accordingly.

Conclusion: Male gods are more likely to have children of the same gender they're percieved as, as all male gods have at least 50% male children, while some goddess have 0% female children.

a pet peeve of mine is when ratios are presented in "parts" - usually in recipes, especially cocktails - and they involve fractions. The point of ratios is to give a scalable recipe that allows you to make as much or as little as you want; it's not for exact measurements but *relative* ones. If it's written correctly, you don't even need to know what to measure with. Using the classic margarita ratio as an example:

1 part lime juice

1 part simple syrup

2 parts triple sec

3 parts tequila

With that recipe, you know how much of each thing to use relative to the other ingredients. What size are the parts? Doesn't matter. How much margarita do you want? Measure with a shotglass if you're making one drink, a full glass if you're making a pitcher for a party. Hell, measure with a 5-gallon bucket if you're trying to take a bath in it. As long as you use the same container to measure each part, you'll have a good margarita in ten ounces or a thousand. The adaptability is the point.

Which is exactly why this ratio (not for margaritas this time, but for soy sauce marinade) doesn't work:

1 part soy sauce

0.5 parts sugar

3 parts water

How do you do half a part? Half of what? Half is already a relative measurement, normally the benchmark is "a cup". I can't just eyeball half of a 5-gallon bucket and be sure that it's accurate.

Ratios are percentages so you can't put percentage measurements in them already. The smallest amount in your ratio needs to be one part. Scale the others accordingly.

It should be 2 parts soy sauce, 1 part sugar, 6 parts water.

Similarly, if your ratio is something weird like 1 part, 2 parts, 3.5 parts, well then you need to multiply to eliminate the fraction. That's now a 2/4/7 ratio my friend. Having your smallest component be "1 part" isn't as important as eliminating fractional parts.

Little Jimothy is going on a "Dopamine Detox" and wants his 8th birthday party to reflect this: instead of the typical party snacks, he will instead have empty hotdog buns and empty ice cream cones for him and his 12 friends to snack on as the party progresses. It is important to him that the total number of snacks is a multiple of 13, as that will allow everyone in attendance to have an equal amount.

As he goes to the store, he discovers that ice cream cones are sold in packs of 12, and that the only brand of hot dog buns still available comes in packs of 7. Assuming that a pack of cones and a pack of hotdogs costs the exact same and that he wants to spend the minimum amount of money to buy a number of snacks that can be spread evenly between him and his friends, answer the following questions:

a. How many packs of 12 ice cream cones should Little Jimothy buy?

b. How many packs of 7 hot dog buns should Little Jimothy buy?

c. How many snacks does each person get?

Did you know that Donkey Kong stands tall at a height of 7’11?? isn’t that fucking insane??

using that height, and counting pixels, we can also estimate the height of all the other kongs, and these guys, with the exception of diddy kong, are absolute behemoths, oh my god

Donkey Kong - 7’11

Diddy Kong - 4’5

Lanky Kong - 6’8

Tiny Kong - 6’4

Chunky Kong - 9’3
