How does a pixel know it will be deleted when shrinking a photo on my phone?

The pixels get deleted as a photo gets smaller. How do the pixels decide which ones get deleted? Does this hurt them? In turn when expanding a photo, do the pixels need to rapidly reproduce or is there some other sick trick to inflate them?

Same as the question, all the rising hype around #2 pencils over the last several decades, it's trendy and awesome to use! So how many more do we have to buy for it to be recognized as #1?

King of Duels Audiobook - How should I handle it and future content?

As I wrap up Garden of Sanctuary and from the little I've looked into it, I've seen discussions that our new Narrator, Erin Bennett had a bit of a rough start with King of Duels but was able to do a great job in book 17 onwards. As I have not started, King of Duels, I can't truly form my own opinion yet.

Should I continue King of Duels or read the web novel for that portion, and if so: Which chapters on the web-version does specifically King of Duels take place, and should I listen to specific chapters in King of Duels and supplement with the readings as a combination of the two?

I know I'm late to the party so I know all these points have probably been talked to death already, but I don't want to look too much up so I can avoid spoilers about the story, this book series has been consuming most of my thoughts for the better part of the last year when I started listening in Late September, is it possible to fatigue myself with the story? I love the world and love imaging what I would do in similar situations, I don't know if I can stop at this point.

Apologies about the long post!

Question about Players of Celum - Volume 6

(spoilers for Macbeth)
Just finished listening to Hell's Warden, which is the final audiobook of Volume 6, if I'm not mistaken. (I have only consumed this series via Audiobook, I am currently on chapter 4 of Garden of Sanctuary Audiobook)

At the beginning of volume 6 the story shows Geneva introducing the world to C-Sections, something that wasn't done until then, however during the Interlude - Players of Celum, it's discussed that Macbeth is one of their best plays, yet I can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that one of the biggest plot points IN Macbeth is that the Witch's prophecy is "none of woman born shall harm Macbeth", and is killed by Macduff, someone who was born via C-Section, thereby fulfilling the prophecy:

How does Erin convince the players the validity of the story of Macbeth, and how do the Players of Celum translate that to their audiences, if C-Sections are not a thing in this world, and introduced to it by Geneva on another continent?

If this is resolved in a later volume. I do not mind if you spoil me because this is actively taking up space in my brain thinking about it and I'd rather get a resolution on this.
