    he would have to snap his fingers infinitely many times to kill everyone so he is not that powerful

      That’s an interesting question as to whether the infinity gauntlet rounds down.

      Like, if there were 3 survivors of a species and thanos snapped the universe, does the gauntlet round up to 2 survivors, or down to one?

        I thought it was just an instantaneous, every living thing has a 50/50 chance of living or dying. No rounding, no species specific exceptions.

          So that means that since bacteria and the like outnumber us by orders of magnitude, statistically speaking, multicellular life would be wiped out completely.

            No, they reproduce pretty quickly. Wipe out 50 % of the bacteria in your body, and they will recover in a few hours.
