    The labeling on those axes is horrific. A human is apparently about 7 units of “Large” on the “Size” axis, and can piss around 110 units of “Jet” on the “Shape” axis.

    What is 7 units of Large Size you wonder? Fuck you. What is 110 units of Jet Shape you ask? Hell if we know. You sure aren’t going to.

    What are all the unlabeled dots? Who cares. Sample size? “I saw one do it.”

        And a bit smaller than a dog, slightly larger than a cat.

        Did these scientist observe and document a pissing toddler?

        With one data point as sample size, it could have been a baby, a huge bodybuilder or anything. Same goes for the human cow. All of this isn’t reliable data and we shouldn’t even discuss it here.

          Considering the human here is smaller than a dog and slightly larger than a cat, they apparently picked this subject up at a kindergarten.

        I mean, humans are about 150 or 200 freedom units, and various breeds of cow weigh 10x that or more

      I’m guessing shape (jet vs drip) is about the number of interruptions in the stream.

    Reminds me of a school trip to a zoo when I was young where every animal relieved themselves while we were watching. It became a running joke. The elephant was my favorite.

    how are we quantising water shape (droplet vs jet)? Is it amount of pee generated/unit amount of time or something similar?

    I’m guessing there were three authors on this study, based on the “human” dots

    I guess I didn’t notice any cicada pee last time. The air was so thick with them it was affecting everybody’s mental health though. If i had noticed pee i would’ve just assumed it was a hallucination
