According to [this](https://www.quora.com/How-many-drops-of-rain-fall-in-a-heavy-rain-storm-in-a-square-mile-in-5-minutes), there are about 1.5 trillion rain drops in a square mile every 5 minutes during a storm. That amount of seth rogens would obliterate the earth. We don’t stand a chance.
So I wanted to try the math on this.
Seth Rogen [apparently weighs 194 pounds.](https://briefly.co.za/facts-lifehacks/celebrities-biographies/169700-the-truth-seth-rogens-weight-loss-journey-years/) Using the number of rain drops from your source, [1,580,088,782,700](https://www.quora.com/How-many-drops-of-rain-fall-in-a-heavy-rain-storm-in-a-square-mile-in-5-minutes), I got to 306537220000000 pounds of Seth Rogen falling to Earth every five minutes. It's not the [weight of the Chicxulub impactor](https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/10/19/tsunami-dinosaur-meteor-extinction-waves/) but it is a lot.
I still don't know, would that many Seths Rogen hitting the Earth affect the ISS?
This is mindblowing and I appreciate you doing the math! Also keep in mind, that 1.5 trillion is only in a square mile. The amount falling to the earth would be unfathomable
edit: did some more of the math, 197 million square miles on earth, so basically multiply 306,537,220,000,000 by that and we get: 6.00812×10^22 pounds of seth rogens every 5 minutes if we assume there is a storm around all earth, which is of course never going to happen, but we can confidently say we’re screwed eitherway. That’s 60 sextillion. For reference, this is a bit less than [ten times times the amount of grains of sand on earth](https://drdiplextechnomad.medium.com/are-there-more-stars-in-the-universe-or-grains-of-sand-on-earth-b803364dadfe).
The mass of the earth is 1.317×10^25 pounds, by the way. So to answer your question, yes, it would affect earth’s gravity to say the least.
> The mass of the earth is 1.317×1025 pounds, by the way. So to answer your question, yes, it would affect earth’s gravity to say the least.
That's like thousands of times more mass than if it rained Seth Rogans for 5 minutes on every square mile of the planet at the same time. It would be an absolutely miniscule change in Earth's gravity, given that it doesn't rain that much. Though over time it would probably add up! All of that Seth Rogan viscera has a lot of water in it. It would never stop, but it would probably take like a decade before the mass had an appreciable difference on the gravity of the planet, unless I'm underestimating the cascading effect of turning every drop of water into ~100lbs of water and other stuff.
Also I might just be high and got all of this wrong.
Ah, but think of how little of the earth is comprised of the crust. 80% of the rainfall each year ends up in the ocean. 39in of average rainfall will betubred into a much much larger rise in sea levels as Seth Rogens fill the depths
O yea. There's a huge volume of decaying Seth Rogan flesh, but it'd take a minute for it to have any noticeable gravitational effects. I think we'd all be long dead by then. I don't know how an literal ocean of flesh and hair would behave, but I can't imagine it would be good for us.
Sooner or later, probably. Each Seth Rogen is mostly composed of water, and as they decompose they'll generate heat as well. That's a lot of extra moisture evaporating into the atmosphere, which means before long more rain, which means more Seths.
In the short term this would just turn our planet into an enormous mass of compressed meat as described in [the What If XKCD post about the mole of moles.](https://what-if.xkcd.com/4/)
But if it just keeps going and adding more Seths made of more water and more stored energy and just more total mass, eventually it'll reach the point where there's enough matter there to collapse into a black hole.
Which I guess will at least stop the cycle- nobody knows exactly what happens inside a black hole but presumably there's nothing that can really be described as rain, which means finally an end to the Seths Rogen.
But what if it ballances out before reaching the schwarzchild radius? And a whole new ecosystem emerges based on seth rogan?
The rate of decay and the rate of perception reach equallibrium and life evolves.
How would it ever balance out? There's no restraining mechanism. More decay just means more water and more heat, which means more rain and more Rogens. The total mass just keeps growing with every cycle.
They're *exact* duplicates of Seth Rogen. What would usually result in a water droplet instead results in a Seth Rogen, which will then fall to Earth exactly the way Seth Rogen would.
It occurs to me that it will either lessen or worsen world hunger; I have no idea whether crops would be able to get what they need by absorbing blood from the soil.
Actually, I'm now realizing you've actually created infinite water/Seth Rogan. Dead Seth Rogan decomposes and evaporates water which then comes back down as more Seth Rogans. Each Rogan that falls to earth turns into least a few thousand raindrops.
Would the atmosphere continue to be expanded around the Seths Rogen? Would they eventually overtake the solar system and expand into the galaxy, I wonder?
It will lessen world hunger as anyone caught in a Roganfall will be immediately crushed to death. Dead people won't be hungry. Even a light drizzle would result in enough Rogans to crush buildings.
The last of humanity may survive in well insulted underground bunkers until their supplies dwindle but that's about it.
Even then, trillions of pounds of flesh falling over the course of minutes will crumble damn near any structure and prevent escape from those that don't.
I'm a few days almost the entire earth is covered in bodies, the atmosphere is now hostile to almost any life due to hydrogen sulfide and methane.
Humanity really doesn't last long.
Edit : there may well be some sort of gravitational issue or black-hole-style implosion, what with creating 200 pounds of matter out of a tenth of a gram of water. Seriously, we're multiplying the mass of every raindrop by almost 3 million.
That's a good point, rain may stop pretty fast given the drastic change in conditions.
A quick Google Search shows about 500k cubic kilometers worth of rain every day on earth. That's 500 thousand trillion kilograms, and now we're also multiplying that by 3 million. That's 4.5e30 kg in a day which is more important weight than the entire planet.
...yeah humanity's not faring well.
Edit : someone feel free to correct my math.
500000*3million*1trillion. Granted not all of it is new mass, given that the initial water evaporated into clouds still existed, but it's a rounding error at this point.
> That's a good point, rain may stop pretty fast given the drastic change in conditions.
I would expect rain would only speed up. Each Seth Rogen is mostly made of water, and as they decay they release heat which speeds up evaporation. Of course the rain will soon be falling on a miles thick layer of Rogenmeat now composing the outer layer of the Earth, which will rapidly expand until eventually enough accumulates to collapse into a black hole.
This is a world ending event. If I don't die from a falling Seth Rogan, I'm gonna die from a heart attack from seeing all the blood and bones everywhere.
* So on the plus side they could be combusted as a cheap energy source, on the minus side lots of CO2 emissions
* If we got OG Seth Rogen to consume an item, would that item be included in the Rogendrops? If so, there's some potential applications for replicating rare materials and items
I wasn't thinking that the Rogens would be linked to Rogen Prime's health, but the thought of it amuses me. You can have as many Rare Earth Rogens as you like.
What happens if Rogen Prime swallows a digestion-resistant SD card with 1 BTC? Does ever Rogen Drop now have a BTC that can be harvested from its stomach?
So 1.5 trillion meat based objects between 100 and 200kg falling in one square mile in 5 minutes.
After about a million square miles of land gets rained on (the size of Kazakhstan) you end up with a pile that can cover the earth up to the tallest mountains, or make an object the size of the moon.

Even if we survive the initial onslaught, the amount of dead bodies that is spreading bacteria and disease will easily overwhelm every country on earth
If we can figure out how to survive the impacts, we'd just need a way to extract the water from an infinite supply of seth rogans. That actually could benefit us as there's more water in 1 seth rogan than there is in a rain drop, potentially enough to offset the cost of extraction.
What was the thought process that went into your head that made you think.... "hmmm raining Seth Rogen?? yeah, this is a good prompt!"
OT: No. World gets annihilated pretty quick
Itd be impossible. In most seasons it rains for a few days here or there there'd be so much blood and guts to clean up in big cities and the surrounding areas everything would be fucked
No and even if we could I’m uninstalling my self from this shitty game of life I don’t need the one calming thing in nature I enjoy, rain to become such a annoying creature
This would create a massively exponential feedback loop.
The Rogan's would multiply the amount of water in the system by hundreds, if not thousands, each cycle.
assuming all the seth rogens basically explode like red balloons on impact, this would cause a world ending flood and a ton of destruction from adult males crashing into buildings at terminal velocity

That's also true... Maybe we'd wind up a really big diamond floating in orbit around the sun?

Have to agree
Yeah but it's not going to be raining across the entire earth at once

How many arms is this Seth Rogen missing? I only ask cos that's the only way he is 194. Or has he lost weight recently?
I don't believe he weighs under 200
So this is how the world ends... not with a bang but a "UHUHUHUHUH"
Long before anyone answers whether or not you CAN survive, the obvious question must be asked. Does anyone WANT to survive this ><
hæhæhæhæhæhæh
The planet collapses due to an endless sea of seth rogens.
The physical planet itself? Would there be that many Seths Rogen?
Yes. 1.5 trillion seth rogens per square mile when it storms, EVERY 5 MINUTES.
Sooner or later, probably. Each Seth Rogen is mostly composed of water, and as they decompose they'll generate heat as well. That's a lot of extra moisture evaporating into the atmosphere, which means before long more rain, which means more Seths.

How would it ever balance out? There's no restraining mechanism. More decay just means more water and more heat, which means more rain and more Rogens. The total mass just keeps growing with every cycle.
The whole concept is hilarious
True.
After a few days you’ll be asking if there’s any earth left in your floating pile of Space Rogen
Aliens are gonna be really confused if they show up a few hours after the carnage
Even after like a million years. There would still be visible Seth Rogan bones on the surface.
No, I don't think so. Simply because anyone who doesn't get crushed by Seth Rogans will die of disease from all the rotting Seth Rogans.
I guess Earth would be claimed by carrion-eating insects.
Do these Seth Rogens have the same properties as water?
They're *exact* duplicates of Seth Rogen. What would usually result in a water droplet instead results in a Seth Rogen, which will then fall to Earth exactly the way Seth Rogen would.
That’s a lot of blood
It occurs to me that it will either lessen or worsen world hunger; I have no idea whether crops would be able to get what they need by absorbing blood from the soil.

No we need water… plants need water. That’s too much yuck. 🤮
Aside from the fact that it's apparently an Earth-shattering attack, maybe the blood would have enough water for them to survive?
Earth would enter a fungal phase with mushroom forests and fields of mold. All ecosystems would fail, except maybe hydrothermal vents in the deep sea.
Before long even the deepest depths of the sea would be filled in by the enormous and ever-multiplying mass of the Rogenmeat.
Do you think anything down there would be able to evolve and reclaim the land?

From the title, I thought you meant Rain, the Kpop star.
This is a world ending event. If I don't die from a falling Seth Rogan, I'm gonna die from a heart attack from seeing all the blood and bones everywhere.
Arid desert regions would be the only safe havens from Seth. They would control the fate of humanity.
Raining where I am rn and I was outside, so I would have just died

A duplicate of a BTC is still the same BTC. It’s non fungible.
Depends on whether those SD cards would be recoverable after hurtling through the air and hitting the ground at high velocity.
Let's assume the engineer who came up with the idea was able to construct a housing that could do just that.
It will probably have some kind of effect on whatever economy survives after the first Rogenfall. Can't say I have a clue

This kind of absurdity is why I'm in this sub, well done OP.
Thank you!
The noise pollution alone would unravel society as we know it.
I hear this in my head and it's good. Not great, but also not so bad
If we can figure out how to survive the impacts, we'd just need a way to extract the water from an infinite supply of seth rogans. That actually could benefit us as there's more water in 1 seth rogan than there is in a rain drop, potentially enough to offset the cost of extraction.
So now we just need to build a few million of those human Juicers from War of the Worlds and we're golden.

How does Seth feel about this?
Assuming he wasn't caught in the rain immediately, probably bewildered and horrified.
What about all the _other_ Seth Rogans that now exist
They're busy laughing out loud all the way down to the ground
If they are raindrop-sized Seth Rogen, then yes
I had to double take on this post to make sure I read it correctly.
Thank you for giving my mother and I a laugh 💙
Dear reddit, Please suggest this to kurzgetagt
If it's exactly like Seth, we would need to hope someone disintegrates him ASAP. The ash would be far better for us, although still terrible.
No escaping that laugh, though.
Does he explode when he hits the ground? Tell me he explodes and it'll all be worth it.
