minus-squareObM@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down3·26 days agoThank you protestor. I mean it doesn’t even pass the possibility test. 300m people population, 1m litres ≈ 300L per person, per day?
minus-squareMissGutsy@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·26 days agoYou got your numbers mixed around. 1m liters/340m men = 0.00294 liters per day That’s just under 3ml, which is very little, but still seems high. Assuming that not every man is using only the urinal, the number per urinal usage is even higher. But I also don’t know american public bathrooms, are they that filthy?
minus-squareDicska@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·26 days agoI’m sure there’s one weirdo responsible for ~70m liters, peeing at the floor at every opportunity.
minus-squareBreadstickNinja@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·26 days agoIt’s not my fault. It just flails around like a garden hose and even with both hands I simply don’t have the strength to wrangle that python.
minus-squaretigeruppercut@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·26 days agoIt’s only about 170m men, so almost 6ml
minus-squareSolumbran@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·26 days agoIt’s the opposite, it would be 1/300 L/person/day, or 1L per 300 persons

Virgin Cola?

Oh damn. I sure did.
