The range of variation is somewhere between 100 and 250. The number 150 is an average, but there’s a lot of variation. In fact, people who come from large extended families have fewer friends because they give priority to family members. That includes extended family as well as friends.

Robin Dunbar: Dunbar’s number is the number of meaningful and stable relationships you can have at any one time. Sheon Han: Could you explain what Dunbar’s number is? Our conversation has been edited and condensed for length and clarity. I recently spoke with Dunbar about what we can learn about our own friendships from all these numbers, how friendships evolve over the years, and his predictions for post-pandemic social life. The book is a timely arrival, as vaccination rollouts and eased social-distancing restrictions spur people to rekindle-or reevaluate-their friendships. (The book is out in the United Kingdom, and will be released in the United States in January.) All of these numbers (and many non-numeric insights about friendship) appear in his new book, Friends: Understanding the Power of Our Most Important Relationships. He’s also studied the seven factors people use to evaluate whether someone has the potential to become a friend, and the average number of hours it takes for an acquaintance to become a close friend.

For instance, Dunbar’s number turns out to be less like an absolute numerical threshold than a series of concentric circles, each standing for qualitatively different kinds of relationships. (The proposed number is 150.) But after spending his decades-long career studying the complexities of friendship, he’s discovered many more numbers that shape our close relationships. Basically, if you want to own it for whenever they take it off Hulu, this is a good chance to do so for cheap.The Oxford evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar is best known for his namesake “Dunbar’s number,” which he defines as the number of stable relationships people are cognitively able to maintain at once. This is for the obsessed fan who needs everything on a physical copy for the day the universe ends and someone needs to protect Rick And Morty for future generations to criticize as being behind the times like all animated shows these days. If you already own the first three seasons individually or have decided to shun physical media and only watch on Hulu, then this probably isn't for you. Basically, Adult Swim went out of their way to make a Rick And Morty release that was worth the cash. The Blu-ray also came with some bonus toys as we got the robotic poster you see above and this set of nesting dolls that are an absolutely amazing treat to have sitting in my home. Basically, every extra on the first three home releases and then some are all here. You get several behind-the-scenes featurettes as well as a special 'Inside The Recording Booth' special where you get to see Justin Roiland at his finest. You get all the random bonus stuff like the State of Georgia court case, or the random Adult Swim ads for products that invaded Morty's bedroom. You also get deleted scenes and deleted animatics for almost every episode, simply because there were jokes on jokes on jokes that didn't work or they didn't have time to keep in, so they're all here dragged out of the trash for you to enjoy. The bonuses you do get are complete commentary and animatics for every single episode, which is one hell of a bonus that few shows shy of The Simpsons ever seem to do anymore. So yeah, you get everything totally uncensored and ready for your viewing pleasure. That said, there's also no bonus scenes that have been put back in as if they cut it out for time and wanted to restore the episodes. They are uncensored so you can hear Rick swear up a storm like only he can, along with Morty freaking out and questioning the reality around him with a lot of confusion as to where life will take them. These are all 31 episodes in their original form, which doesn't need any special cleanup or fixing or audio properties changed to it because these were made in the past five years. First, let's get to the nitty-gritty: nothing has changed about the episodes.
