          I mentioned it because I say “The average person has less than 1 testicle.”… Also The average person has less than 2 legs… 2 arms… 2 breasts… etc. One of my favorite eye rolling stupid joke.

        There are more women than men

        Also, 1 is correct if we consider significant figures. It may be slightly less, but rounded to the nearest whole number is most certainly 1.

    this is bigoted propaganda against bonelessness

      Wouldn’t it also be greater than 1 for the same reason as OP? I think there are probably more babies in mothers than people missing testes.

          Not their own, no, but the average number of testicles in a mother’s body is greater than 0.

          But they have the testicles of their soon to be born sons.

          I would say whether it’s greater than 1 or lesser than 1 is inconclusive without accurate data .

          You would need to find out whether amount of men with removed testicles is greater than amount of women pregnant with a boy (after the average week when testicles appear). Also men to women ratio in global population needs to be accounted for.

    It’s scary enough that we have one skeleton inside and now I have to worry about the potential for two of them?! How am I supposed to sleep

    Chances of getting Boneitis increases with every birth.

    Aren’t babies cartilaginous at birth? Guess it’s still a skeleton as it is a structural frame, even if it’s not made out of bones yet.

      Do you understand how averages work?

      If there are 8 billion people on this world and each one has one skeleton in them, then the average number of skeletons is one. If even one of those 8 billion people have two skeletons in them, then the average is slightly more than one.

      So the average is more than one for pregnant people, but also for all people as a whole.

    I’m sorry to burst everyone’s bubble but this doesn’t make sense. The average person is not pregnant. Therefore the average person does not have more than one skeleton in their body.

      It’s the average amount, meaning that if one person out of the entire world was pregnant, the average would be technically more than one, even in the slightest degree.

      • I think even on balance, considering fractions of skeletons in whole people, you’re going to end up with more than one skeleton per person despite some of those people missing bones or limbs.

        It’s like one sixth of a percent more than 1:1 if there are 135 million babies born each year on earth, but that’s not nothing.

          Yeah that’s kinda the point I was getting at. With a baseline of 1 and the 100% probability of 1 person out of 8 billion being pregnant, it will always technically be more than 1.
