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

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 28 points 9 months ago

Fuck, that's a good one

[-] ericbomb@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I like skull more, but both are great.

[-] knorke3@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 26 points 9 months ago

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

We didn't make Agent Orange. That was Monsanto, and Dow.

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.

[-] AzzyDev@beehaw.org 0 points 9 months ago

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 9 months ago

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

[-] AzzyDev@beehaw.org 1 points 9 months ago

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 9 months ago

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

[-] AzzyDev@beehaw.org 2 points 9 months ago

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

[-] dgmib@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

And you’re forgetting that about 1% of the population is pregnant at any given time and has another whole human inside of them.

[-] knorke3@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

honestly curious about how those two would end up statistically balancing out.

[-] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

There are not very many amputees compared to pregnant woman, and babies have a lot more bones that are in your typical limb
