      When showing your calculation to an untrained audience it is good form to include also the trivial steps.

      I’d convert it in my head, then double check if I did it correctly (proper amount of moved decimals) because I am stupid and will fuck this up if given a chance.

    It doesn’t change the amount of jizz but the original count of grandparents is making the almost certainly false assumption that the family tree is incest free.

      Ain’t nobody checking for consanguity 12 generations back before getting it on.

      Also, if you keep extending the calculation backwards, it doesn’t take long before your supposed number of nth-great grandparents exceeds the total population at that time.

    Gotta factor in interbreeding, but also more importantly, you’ve gotta factor in that the fertility/sex rate is definitely less than 1.
