How many generations to avoid inbreeding in the grandfather paradox

Ever since I rewatched “Rowell that ends well” after being old enough to drink I can’t stop thinking about how many generations between fucking your ancestor and “you” would be required to avoid inbreeding.

my thought process goes “you” are 50% of each of your parents and 25% of your grandparents, but if you keep replacing one of those 25% (his grandfather) with the same slowly degrading genetics, fry’d provide an ever increasing amount of bad DNA every loop until it reaches a point where he doesnt have any DNA from that branch of his ancestry.

The Fry Family Home Theory

https://i.imgur.com/Sf6CHHP.jpeg

We have seen in the flashbacks how the household looks super delapidated but somehow that never added up to me.

I think the writers meant to show that Fry's mom didn't care much for the household or anything not sports related but I think that doesn't mesh with Fry's father character and their relationship.

The interior shots are actually super clean. I feel if anything it would be the opposite.

Which got me thinking that perhaps it was on purpose from Fry's dad to camouflage the house for a war zone scenario.

This would make it easier to keep people out when the nukes fly and if anything kinda a smart move and the sorts thing someone thinking war was happening minute would consider.

They had a bunker and both parents were clearly put together enough to set Fry's brother in a path in which he had a son that went to be an astronaut.

So I feel this would be far more likely than them letting the house look the way that it did via sheer neglect. If anything I would have expected the opposite given how intense Fry's family comes across and the fact that it didn't change or get worse over time.

My (less popular) theory on “The Late Phillip J Fry”

Hey all, I just wanted to float a theory on The Late Phillip J Fry, and the Futurama Universe in general. My take is that each time Fry, Bender, and the Professor go through time, from the end to the Big Bang, that they are just resetting the universe. Meaning, time is cyclical in the Futurama universe.

The whole series has themes of cyclical nature, such as the end of Meanwhile going back to Spice Pilot 2000 upon its first broadcast. It would make sense if the Futurama timeline is one big loop. I like to believe in this theory, because it means that the original Leela never had to live and die without Fry. It simply WAS her all along, and her growing old with Cubert was just one of an infinite number of alternate universes, just like the crew that died at the end of Otherwise.

How does All The Way Down fit in to this? Well, each Futurama universe not only has an infinite set of alternate universes, but also has an “upper” and “lower” universe that goes infinitely up and down. The simulations go infinitely in both directions. I think that is what David X Cohen is trying to tell us about the Futurama Universe in general. Think of it as a grid, in which one dimension is the alternative nature of the universes, and the other dimension is time.

The one constant of all the universes, I like to believe, is Fry and Leela ending up together. The Nibblonians ensured this with their actions. What are your thoughts? I’d love to hear them!

was the league of robots show what made bender the way he is?

in my honestly least favourite futurama movie the beast with a billion backs we learn that when bender was a kid he watched this kids show called the league of robots, which he later discovers is real.

the lauge of robots is seemingly a humans hating club, their motto even kill all humans, a phrase bender says all the time, so was this show what made bender the rebellious human hater.

this also ties in to these two posts:

A real functioning robot hell is pretty cool to see in the world of Futurama.

Futurama: Hell Is Other Robots

I noticed the robot devil can never turn down a song and unironically everyone sings along. I found a podcast of futurama songs called futurtunes and my favorite song would have to be the robot hell song that is played in this episode.
