I hate to break it to you but a lot of those are the same people.
I was gonna say “I went to high school in Alabama and the math just doesn’t work out that way”
4094 divided by 2 is 2047 male anscestors. The average volume of semen per ejaculation is roughly 3 mL on average.
2047 x 3 is 6141 mL of cum or 6.14 L of cum or about a gallon and a half.
The average fuel efficiency for cars in the US (sorry Europeans) is 25 mpg. This means if cum had the same energy density as gasoline you could travel roughly 37.5 miles on all the cum your male anscestors produced in the last 400 years.

This kind of insight is why I’m here. The next question is, “What is the energy density of jizz?”
That’s only one ejaculation per male ancestor. You can safely assume that the average male ancestor ejaculated more than once. This would increase the distance traveled using the cum energy.
True. But Im only factoring loads splurted resulting in reproductive success leading to you.
What about cumflation?!
He’s right, that would change everything
In Alabama you would need less than that though.
With 12 generations, that would apply to pretty much everyone. It would be a statistical anomaly for anyone living today to have the full set of 4094 individual ancestors.
There’s gonna start being some overlap somewhere down the line
Sweet home Alabama.
They just overlap much more recently
this is fucked up calculations, for 100th generation we would need more humans than have ever lived
Your flaw is assuming that a couple only produces one child. Many humans can share the same ancestor.
That’s not his flaw, but OP’s.
Don’t forget the recurrent loops of inbreeding. Reality is definitely less than 2^generation
Not even inbreeding, strictly speaking, when you go back that far. At 12 generations back you’ve got lots of ancestors with common ancestors, but they aren’t so closely related that conceiving a child between them would be incest. Doesn’t have to be siblings; very distant cousins would also reduce the number of total ancestors. They need not even have known their relation to one another.
I’m having trouble understanding this. Why would I need 4 grandparents?.. oh… because 2 had a kid and 2 had a kid… then the 2 kids were my parents… so double that for great grandparents…
Damn I just answered it to myself. Guess I shouldn’t ask questions while half awake
You do highlight that this ignores incest
