Apparently If You Blended All Humans Into One Giant 'Goo' Ball It Would Be Shockingly Small—And That's Enough Internet For Today

Apparently If You Blended All Humans Into One Giant 'Goo' Ball It Would Be Shockingly Small—And That's Enough Internet For Today

If you've ever wondered what the entire world's population would look like if they were blended together into one ginormous ball of goo, you're in luck.

Twitter user @_AstroErika thought she would enlighten the internet with this bizarro factoid by posting an image of what this slimy mass of earth's humans would look like.


The suggested size of the gooey mass is not at all what you might expect.

But then, what were you expecting, really?

Erika captioned the image with:

“If you blended all 7.88 billion ppl on Earth into a fine goo (density of a human=985 kg/m3, average human body mass=62 kg), you would end up with a sphere of human goo just under 1 km wide."

For a sense of scale, she plopped the People Orb into a popular New York setting.

“This is a visualization of how that would look like in Central Park.”

Are you ready for it?

At 843 acres, Central Park is the fifth-largest urban park in New York City.

Considering the earth's population numbering at over 7 billion people, the slimy orb represented in the digital mockup doesn't even eclipse the grandness that is Central Park.

Erika quipped in a follow-up tweet, "P.s. You are in this photo...."

People at a loss for words responded accordingly.



People made wisecracks about the photo op.







Skeptics challenged Erika.


So far, the tweet has racked up over 72K likes.

By the way, did you say, "cheese?"

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Video Of Crows Ripping Out Animatronic Rapunzel's Hair At Tokyo DisneySea Goes Viral—And Yikes!

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Bald Men Are Up In Arms Over Viral Chart That Predicts Political Affiliation Based On A Man's Haircut

Can a man's haircut tell you his political affiliation? Scientifically, of course not... but we probably all have a gut feeling about it, regardless!

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
