minus-squareObM@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down3·1 month 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-up20·1 month 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-up10·1 month agoI’m sure there’s one weirdo responsible for ~70m liters, peeing at the floor at every opportunity.

minus-squaretigeruppercut@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·30 days agoIt’s only about 170m men, so almost 6ml
minus-squareSolumbran@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 month agoIt’s the opposite, it would be 1/300 L/person/day, or 1L per 300 persons

Oh damn. I sure did.
