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."

Also not to forget according to this a cow is more than 10 times as large as a human

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

Did these scientist observe and document a pissing toddler?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

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 feel like the three humans and dozens of cicadas are probably skewing the results as well.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 2 weeks ago

I'm guessing there were three authors on this study, based on the "human" dots

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

All of them exactly 5 large, but with pee between 20 and 80 jetty.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder which author has the Mastiff

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Mastiff been the biggest of the three authors.

Pretty wild that a bee pisses stronger than a bat

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I could piss stronger than a cicada.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

That cicada is one massive fucker, I get why the wee-wee is strong in this one.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's actually about as Small as a cow is Large, according to this graph.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Hey, do you want to watch some pissers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KBL7HHd1-o

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

The strongest urinators are cicadas, but there's other animals that score higher on the Jet Shape? I guess ~100 Jet Shape must be peak then and everything higher than that is actually a weaker form of urination.

Edit: the labeled dot is only one of many cicadas and some of them score as low as 1.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

But what's even on the y-axis? Aspect ratio? X is probably weight?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Cicadas have nothing on the spotted lantern fly.
You want something disgusting and pisser of the animal kingdom pick the one that makes it look like it's pouring only under trees, and it attracts wasps.
