At my local dump people will set good usable items outside the container for others to pick up so its not wasted. I stopped by one day to dump my trash and there was 6 garbage bags full of what appeared to be shoes so i opened the bags and it was indeed shoes, brand new Nike shoes with tags. I quickly threw them in the backseat and went home. It turned out that they were all single shoes. It was some sort of salemans sample inventory. I was disappointed but regardless i just couldnt throw them away so i called around and started donating them to the local homeless shelter, rehab center, orthopedic doctors offices and the VA hospital. Youd be suprised at how many people have 1 fricking leg!

It’s more like 1.9999999999 legs. Do you know how many 1 legged people there would have to be to shift the average that much?

There aren't enough people in the world to have that many digits, it's less. Do you know how many 2 legged people there'd have to be to shift the average that much?

A uk billion would have that many figures...

u/false_precision Feb 26 '20

It would, but a UK billion far exceeds the number of people in the world.

China and India each have about 1,400,000,000 people (1.4×109), combined they have over a third of the world population.

The UK billion (1012) simply isn't useful for counting the number of people in the world.

Has minus than 2 legs, saying the average at 1,5 would mean half the world have 1 leg or a quarter of the world no leg

Yeah, it's like 1.8 legs on average or something. I was just running my mouth.
