The labeling on those axes is horrific. A human is apparently about 7 units of "Large" on the "Size" axis, and can piss around 110 units of "Jet" on the "Shape" axis.

What is 7 units of Large Size you wonder? Fuck you. What is 110 units of Jet Shape you ask? Hell if we know. You sure aren't going to.

What are all the unlabeled dots? Who cares. Sample size? "I saw one do it."

Also not to forget according to this a cow is more than 10 times as large as a human

And a bit smaller than a dog, slightly larger than a cat.

Did these scientist observe and document a pissing toddler?

I mean, humans are about 150 or 200 freedom units, and various breeds of cow weigh 10x that or more

With one data point as sample size, it could have been a baby, a huge bodybuilder or anything. Same goes for the ~~human~~ cow. None of this is reliable data and we shouldn't even discuss it here.

Considering the human here is smaller than a dog and slightly larger than a cat, they apparently picked this subject up at a kindergarten.
