You have isolated the chief difference between progressives and conservatives.
One side can laugh at themselves and sex and can get on with their day, the other can’t get off unless they feel overwhelming shame and fear and need some kind of Pro-wrestling-level drama and narrative behind their life before they can even make sense of their sexual feelings.
They are either intentionally lying (which is what I think they are doing) or completely ignorant to the historical context they reference. Either way smart is not how I’d describe them.
I think they disagree because not having a micropenis (in the medical sense) doesn’t imply that you are above average.
Assuming penis length is distributed normally exactly 50% of people are below average. If you remove 0.15‰ from that you are practically still left with about 50% that don’t have a micropenis and are below average.
Nice though experiment, but doesn’t hold up to scrutiny on many levels (not meant in a condescending way, just to spinn that thought experiment further)
First, we can’t even agree on how/what to exactly measure with penis length. Even if we fixed that, the actual distribution itself doesn’t have buckets (like size ranges) but would contain all data points individually. If we measure with unreasonably high precision and assume that penis length is a real (in a mathematical sense) number than there is a 0% chance that two people have the same penis length and there would be no person that has an exactly average penis length.
Stepping back from this thought experiment, there is data for penis length and the standard deviation is wider than most people would expect, it’s far from 90% being average unless your average bucket is something like 5-20cm
I really appreciate people helping other people especially because the internet is often such a harsh and toxic place, but I don’t think presenting a counter that’s factually wrong really helps.
And you are right, it’s not important. I mean it’s not even a requirement to have a penis at all for intimacy. So unless you don’t have a tongue, no hands (not even 10 fingers required) you should be ok. You could also try toys.
Penis length is often an ego thing and that’s hard to fix in a lemmy comment.
But you’re still the first to mention it. Why are you telling someone they don’t have a micropenis when they didn’t say anything to suggest they had one? It makes no sense. That’s why your thread was so off the rails, because you started a massive non sequitur.
If you can’t laugh during sex, then what dafuq are we even doing here‽

We laugh at hexbear accounts. Lol cowbee and so on.
I’ll admit I goa
tded some of those idiots(and got banned from a bunch of communities), but they are extremely smart people.Edit to clarify.
(Goaded* sorry not trying to be a dick just trying to be helpful)
No! You’re not a dick! Thank you for correcting me!
Ah that explains it. I was thinking new slang just dropped.
“THEY GOT GreatestOfAllTimed!!!” (Air horns, John Cena, etc)
I’m sure that they are. So are we. The difference is we can be smart, hold an opinion, and not be insufferable.
“we”‽
You might be smart. But I’m dumb as fuck.
Idk I like your username so it sounded smart. My PhD is not related to social things.
Fuck me! I just read that you have a PhD!
You are definitely smarter than me
It’s only rocket science, has nothing to do with shitposting on Lemmy. I wouldnt worry about it.
Thanks for looking, but I’m pretty pro Palestine.
Don’t know if that changes your opinion. But I chose this name many moons ago.
I don’t think there’s anything not smart about being pro Palestine. I think that’s a safely considered opinion.
Are you a protest non voter?
If you answer “yes” I’m going to give you shit.
Still can’t believe I attracted the attention of an actually doctor! Sorry about all the replies!
Yes doctor. 🙂↕️

Not talking about their politics!
I vehemently disagree with them there!
But tech wise, they are not to be underestimated.

That “waka waka” fucking killed me!
Sadly that’s the only version of that scene I found.
I think you misunderstand my sentiment. I was laughing so hard, it was difficult to breathe.
It’s been a long while since I’ve seen an interrobang in the wild - you are a gentleperson and a scholar my good chum!
Insert a cyberpunk reference here.
You guys make noise during sex?
You ever hear the sound a man makes when he eats a handful of bees?
… no?
¿Quein no?
No lo hago.
Ninja na cama.
Nunca me ven venir.
Justa
bc if you laugh it reminds me that my tiny peen is a joke and the erection goes away
Unless you’re like 1.5 in 10,000(.015%),I can assure you your average or slightly above.
Edit: can’t help myself, there’s an abnormal amount of angry small dick fuckers here(of which, you are not one!).
I’m no expert but I don’t think that’s how bell curves work.
Edit to also add; my bad for making someone else feel better about themselves. I’ll try not to make that mistake again.
I would ask you to look it up.
Edit to add; micropenis affects about .015%. I find it weird others are disagreeing.

I didn’t talk my penis. But I’m certain yours is small.
Edit: whoa whoa whoa, I’m not sure what I said in context. But I did NOT mean to insult you like it sounds!
What if 90% of people have the exact average length, and the rest are the bell curve?

Homie, there is no swaying me.
Someone felt bad about themselves and I presented them with a counter.
Fuck it, maybe I have a micro peen? And I was just trying to help out a fellow homie.
Edit to add: doesn’t matter if they do or not!
What’s important is it not being fucking important!
Edit edit: I think that last line is one of coolest things I ever typed.
Being swayed by facts is not a bad thing
Oh, my bad.
Is there suddenly a large influx of small dicked people?
I really appreciate people helping other people especially because the internet is often such a harsh and toxic place, but I don’t think presenting a counter that’s factually wrong really helps.

You are the first person to mention micropenis
Lol, thanks for trying to use that as a cudgel. I’m comfortable with the size of my bits.
But thanks for focusing on that.
Edit to add: this entire interaction started with me telling someone they didn’t have one!
This is really not a good look for you homie, trying to dog pile on at the last minute…
But you’re still the first to mention it. Why are you telling someone they don’t have a micropenis when they didn’t say anything to suggest they had one? It makes no sense. That’s why your thread was so off the rails, because you started a massive non sequitur.

But trust, you don’t have to.
I guess wearing a rigid mask?
Yeah.
Perfectly one that shows you as a terrible person.
Go ahead and dawn a donald trump mask. You deserve it!
Um, what?
Honestly, don’t know what I was going on about.
My bad.
But the sentiment remains!
I’m angry at you, and don’t know what for.
Forgive me.
I mean no offense, just figured I’ll post the relevant Wiki article

Real talk, do you think I’m being abusive?
I will trust your judgement, and reflect.
