Twice as many human nipples. Don't forget the animal nipples.

You'd assume that wouldn't you, but I have negative 7B nipples. The human average is 1
typhoidsucks t1_iy83z7f wrote
Although the average certainly isn’t two, it only slightly less than two (1.99ish*). If we’re rounding to the nearest whole number, it’s definitely going to be two.
*I pulled that number out of thin air.

There are 16005221600 human nipples in the world and counting.

Given the number of women who've had mastectomies due to breast cancer vs. the amount of people with an extra nipple, I'd imagine the average is somewhat < 2

Aha, but with my negative 9.999.999.999 nipples The human total is 1

There is plenty of people with a third nipple
ApotheounX t1_iy8a1zl wrote
You'd think that were the case, but apparently the rate of third nipple occurance is in the range of 1/20-1/40, which probably outnumbers occasional nipple losses (boy, that's a phrase, isn't it?).

Do conjoined twins count as 1 person or two?

I am absolutely fascinated by this factotum... I simply must know more

I’d say probably more people have had mastectomies than third nipples

Don't forget all the nippleless animals.

He doesn't specify human nipples, just nipples vs humans so my dog has 8, along with tons of other mammals. The average is probably well over 2 with all the other animals bringing it up.
REmanji t1_iy9gtvq wrote
I would say if you count all animals the average is probably way below 0.1 because only mammals have nipples and all the insects massively outnumber them
kyrosnick t1_iy9h3cu wrote
True, but the statement is nipples vs humans, not nipples vs animals.
mathieub93 t1_iy9l41j wrote
Or are just simply born with less nipples. Guess it about the same odds for more or less nipples

you are absolutely right my dude! Seems I typed too fast

Depends on sentience
CookieJarObserverII t1_iy9y2t9 wrote
Statistically it should be around 2,8 since many people have multiple Nipples (seriously, like every 3th human one earth has more than 2)

You're forgetting to minus Siamese twins conjoined around the nipular region
CookieJarObserverII t1_iyab0hn wrote
Thats super rare and I already took people that gad their breast removed (breast cancer shit, and it can happen to everyone) wich is a bigger number of people but still not that significant compared to 8 billion people.

Add another point. Does a dead person count as human? Do the nipples on a dead person count as nipples?
Extension_Ad_1733 t1_iyazxzi wrote
I'd add the number of nipples on corpses, but not add the number of corpses to the number of humans. Though it's difficult to gauge how much impact this has. How long does a body need before the nipples decompose? What's the average number of corpses in this range. Are there stats on cremation vs burial?
human5393 t1_iybrm3v wrote
I honestly lost count of how many times I've been shown a third nipple. I dated a guy with 4.
