    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.”

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

        Did these scientist observe and document a pissing toddler?

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

        With one data point as sample size, it could have been a baby, a huge bodybuilder or anything. Same goes for the human cow. None of this is reliable data and we shouldn’t even discuss it here.

    I’m guessing there were three authors on this study, based on the “human” dots

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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