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.
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
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.
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

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

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

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

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 pts · 2y
honestly curious about how those two would end up statistically balancing out.
aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
There are not very many amputees compared to pregnant woman, and babies have a lot more bones that are in your typical limb

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%.

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

The average person has fewer than two legs.
rotopenguin@infosec.pub · 45 pts · 2y
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?
Brickhead92@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y
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.

Who is providing oxygen and nutrients to your foot?
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 2y
I saw your dad last night and he also temporarily had four legs so I guess he helped offset the amputeess too
Pistcow@lemm.ee · 61 pts · 2y
Unless there's a lot of dudes with 3 it really is less than 1 on average.

But you’re below average in the frank length.
TheRealKuni@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 2y
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.

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.

Or through parenting, perhaps?
