There are more memes estimating the size of the universe than there are stars in the galaxy.

I skipped reading the word stars, and I thought it was deliberately wrong to rile people up.

[-] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

Most people have more balls than there are stars in our solar system.

[-] Metostopholes@midwest.social 15 points 1 week ago

Wait, are you counting ovaries?

[-] phobiac@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The average human has somewhere between 1.1 and 1.4 testicles.

Late edit: I was not sober when I wrote this and I definitely did the math wrong.

[-] dave@feddit.uk 8 points 1 week ago

How are you averaging the humans? Or are you averaging testicles?

Considering 50% of the population doesn't have testicles, the average being over 1 indicates that there are a few million people with 3 testicles.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

But there are also many men with one or zero probably more than people with three so it should probably net to less then 1 average. Unless you count prosthetic testis in the total.

If you're counting prosthetics, then there could be one guy really bringing up the average.

Testicles Georg is an outlier adn should not have been counted

[-] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Is this because of intersex conditions or something? Or just a number you pulled out of your ~~ass~~ balls?

There actually are more molocules of H2O in 10 drops of water than there are stars in the observable universe.

[-] Hammocks4All@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Optimists: the glass is half full

Pessimists: this half empty glass of water has more molecules than there are stars in the observable universe; life is meaningless

Also interesting: If you were to take your nerves out and lay them end on end you would die.

Actually interesting factYour height is closer in scale to a light second than the size of an atom. And yet atoms seem more approachable than light seconds. Fascinating stuff!

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

How do you define "closer" here? I'm about 1.8m removed from the size of an atom but well over 299 thousand kilometers from a light second.

"You are technically correct, the best kind of correct."

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

I have as many assholes as stars in our solar system, even though it seems like more to Lemmy.

[-] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

This is especially true for blind people.
