Dirty talk
(lemmy.world)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
There are about 38 trillion bacteria in the average human. The volume of the average human is about 4500 U.S. tablespoons. Thus an average tablespoon of human has 8.4 billion bacteria in it.
Any specific tablespoon will vary greatly, that's why I said average tablespoon.
So you're not taking a random tablespoon, but averaging the bacteria. That's a different setup.
Yeah, not a random specific tablespoon of a specific human; a generalized average count based on a tablespoon of average human.
The average human has less than 2 legs, less than two nipple, and less than one testicle.
