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

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 16 points 10 months ago

Fuck, that's a good one

[–] knorke3@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

actually, you're forgetting about amputees and people born with fewer limbs. it's likely less than 1.

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Skeleton, not bones. Amputees still have.a skeleton, don't they?

[–] Vengefu1Tuna@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I lost my skele back in 'nam

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Dang commies!

[–] knorke3@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

the question is: is a skeleton that's missing pieces still "one skeleton"? And if so, at which point does it become not a skeleton? Because i'm reasonably sure you wouldn't call a severed foot a skeleton even though it is still arguably "one skeleton" that is just missing a lot of pieces.

i think a skeleton is just multiple bones together that are attached. A pile of bones isn’t a skeleton, it’s a pile of bones

[–] knorke3@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

so by your definition a severed foot is, indeed, a skeleton. huh.

[–] AzzyDev 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If an anthropologist found a 2-million year old intact foot, I think they’d call it a skeleton, sure.

[–] knorke3@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i somehow have a feeling that they'd call that a partial skeleton (aka. less than one)

[–] AzzyDev 2 points 10 months ago

ehh, partial skeleton, skeleton, what’s the difference? a few missing bones never hurt anybody! /s

I don’t get this one…?

This might help

Skeletons, not bones

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...

[–] qupada@kbin.social 40 points 10 months ago

p is stored in the balls...

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Did you just assume my p-values!?

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, but I know what you LSmean

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

[–] Deello@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago

So in other words I'm above average

[–] Zatore@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

I'm partially responsible for this stat

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