The number of skeletons inside of a human body is statistically greater than 1.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

Fuck, that's a good one

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I like skull more, but both are great.

Of the ~100 billion humans who have ever lived, ~8 billion of them are still alive. Therefore, your chance of dying is only 92%, not 100%.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Yeah but no one of them survived the ~~116th~~ 122th year.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

These things are always subject to challenge but as I understand the oldest 'verified' person to have ever lived was 122 when they died.

Ho yes you're right, just checked and that was Jeanne Calment.

Big (soft) brain moment

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Who knows, at some point we might figure out how to stop/reverse aging, so your chance of dying (in the foreseeable future) is not 100%, only very close to it

The average person has fewer than two legs.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Some women have four legs. It's a temporary condition, but I gander that it's common enough to offset the amputees.

What happens if I put my foot up your ass? Whose foot is it in this equation?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends, do you have control of it once it's in? If not, then it's probably still the other person's, they're just using you as a shoe.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I've been told he's tight, so my foot will probably get numb due to the contractions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Doesn’t matter, the total amount stays the same

I saw your dad last night and he also temporarily had four legs so I guess he helped offset the amputeess too

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unless there's a lot of dudes with 3 it really is less than 1 on average.

Shut up before we start talking about p values...

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 year ago

p is stored in the balls...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you just assume my p-values!?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, but I know what you LSmean

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Damn girl, your bell curves are statistically significant

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Let's all calm down, and have some Chi at the square.

4 out of 5 participants enjoy gang rape

68% of statistical facts are incorrect, including this one

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

They say 3 percent of the people use 5 to 6 percent of their brain, 97 percent use 3 percent and the rest goes down the drain

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

So in other words I'm above average

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

If we’re including all humans, the mean is likely below 1, the median is possibly 1 and possibly 0, and the mode is probably 0.

If we’re limiting to the male sex, then the mode and median are probably 2, and the mean somewhere between 1 and 2.

I'm partially responsible for this stat

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ya, but I'm also why the number is less than two

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

By being female or through loss?

Cuz I mean roughly half the population of the US has zero by default and they are included in this statistic. So for them you may also be part of why the number is greater than zero.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Or through parenting, perhaps?

If you personally have two, but have two kids with zero, you're responsible for lowering the average to one, or lower depending on how we account for your partner's contribution

In a few months I'll be doing my part to lower the average

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

best of luck with your lopemoffomy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Somehow never heard that term before but I'm here for it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I am doing my part!

For every snake on Earth, there is one snake dick. Half of all snakes are female.

He didn't dare talk to Razek about an average of one hand. Otherwise the medics would have been very busy.
