Not for long.

I hope they keep the pope away from any antipopes lest we have a catastrophic explosion in Rome.

Statistically speaking there is more than 1 skeleton inside everybody.

Statistically, a human has fewer than two arms, two legs, or two eyes.

SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 11 pts · 292d (5 replies)

...and more than two nipples.

The average human has one boob

Zorque@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 292d (2 replies)

If you ignore man-boobs, sure.

DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 292d (1 reply)

Let b denote the average number of boobs per person. It can be shown that 1 < b < 2^1^.

^1^ it is known

Yeah well, what about that girl from the documentary Total Recall?

ButteryMonkey@piefed.social · 3 pts · 292d

But fewer than how many fingers, is the real question (that I couldn’t actually find an answer for).

Is there really more people missing limbs than with child?

I'm confident enough to say a living human at least more than one head.

ButteryMonkey@piefed.social · 1 pts · 292d

I mean I guess you could include fetuses, but they aren’t actually part of the mother’s body, and would already count on their own, so while “skeletons inside” is a truthful statistic to include fetuses for, they don’t add limbs so counting them seems dishonest for this one.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 292d

are luxury bones part of the skeleton?

hakunawazo@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 291d

Hey relax, it's not a bone, it's just an additonal corpus cavernosum inside you. SCNR

For a while it was four, but then Nazi Spanish Inquisition pope died.

tanisnikana@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 292d

The big one ate the smaller one.

PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk · 13 pts · 292d

I couldn't get my head around that stat, thinking that on average it was the current pope and the next pope (who doesn't know it yet) in the Vatican; or whether it counted the remains of popes gone by.

Then I saw the metric area of the Vatican and it made a bit more sense... but not by much.

Whenever someone says, "Statistically....", you know they're about to say some dumb shit that is an ignorant misinterpretation of statistics.

JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 291d

Statistically, that is true.

MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk · 12 pts · 292d

The highest pope density in the entire universe.

Unless you acknowledge the space pope, obviously.

pocopene@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 292d

Statistically, there are a million me per square km in the square meter around me.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 292d (2 replies)

does that include antipopes, and do those count as -1? also do popes and antipopes annihilate when they kiss?

nuke

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 291d

👉 👈 could we kiss under the popelear explosion cloud?

kbal@fedia.io · 3 pts · 292d

Wow, that's even higher papal density than Luxembourg!

vrek@programming.dev · 3 pts · 292d

Actually the typically recognized person as the pope is not in the Vatican city. Which means the number of pope's in Vatican city is 0. https://youtu.be/RMf4OtC7SXY

Always 2 too many.
