  • That is NOT the definition of an outlier. There IS no set mathematical definition of an outlier, in fact. What is considered an outlier is greatly determined by what the dataset actually is. Please do more research on what an outlier actually is, even the wikipedia page on outliers is surprisingly high quality(aka has good sources, read those), so it’s not hard.

    That all being said, let’s use your rigid definition. There have been approximately 100 billion humans to have ever lived, from now until all the way back 200,000-300,000 years ago when homo sapiens first emerged. The absolute oldest humans to ever live(ignoring Mr.Immortal) made it to about 120. Mr.Immortal has to be human to be factored into the calculations of human lifespan, so they are at the absolute MOST 300,000 years old.

    Now, let’s go ahead and say that all 100 billion humans lived to that maximum age of 120. Obviously not even remotely the case, but this is best case scenario here. The mean of a dataset is found by adding all of the numbers in the dataset together and then dividing by the number of data points within the set. So in this case it would be “(120(100,000,000,000) + 300,000) ÷ 100,000,000,001)”

    Now if you do the math on that, you find that even with Mr.Immortal included and every human living the absolute longest life possible, the mean is… 120.0000029988.

    Now tell me, what is closer to that number, 300,000 or the actual average lifespan of humans(70 something)? It’s not even close, and since the rate of population expansion keeps increasing, Mr.Immortal would have to wait for humanity to die out before the mean could ever increase enough to make US the outliers.


  • Lemmy is VERY left leaning overall, and also still very small. You’re just not going to find enough people here to populate an entire instance based around the terf’s book series. Moreover, why would you even need an entire instance dedicated around one fandom? I’m still confused as fuck that Star trek has multiple dedicated instances.

    Additionally, putting the terf aspect aside, the Harry Potter fandom just isn’t what it used to be. Cursed child was garbage, Fantastic Beasts were garbage… and that’s all there’s been in recent memory besides “Wizards used to shit themselves”. The last HP movie was 12 years ago, the last actual book 16-17ish years ago. The fandom is moving on.

    That all being said, this IS Lemmy. Absolutely nothing is stopping you from starting a Harry Potter instance.










  • My best guess is that something was wrong with her that she hid deep inside until it was let out

    Probably. Reminds me a lot of the guys back in HS who would be super women positive and “feminist” when girls were in earshot, but say horrendously awful shit when it was “just us guys”(I wasn’t friends with them either, they just thought it was ok to say around guys in general), up to and including rape apologia in at least one instance. All asshole trump supporters now last I knew.

    And they wondered why 90% of my friends in HS were girls.
