Upvoted due to being weird and neat, but I'm not sure I trust the data source of two "cleanroom consultants." They're obviously in the pocket of Big Skin.

Or a big skin pocket, like a marsupial.

Oh, I totally missed that. So if you're wearing the clean room getup do the skin cells still aerolisize?

Yes but then you breathe them in. Bit like recycling, eh

Is most of it coming from dude's massive dump truck?

I think the real takeaway is that walking faster makes you taller but also fatter.

It's true what they say

You can't outrun your diet especially when it consists of millions of human skin cells.

I'm not lazy I'm just conserving skin

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

"skin per minute" seems very imprecise for how accurate it sounds.

Why does he get bigger and fatter the faster he walks?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because they have to adjust heights to make graph scale

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And they needed to adjust the size of his dump truck too?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Bigger the better

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

That's really ineffective suit

Three horrifying words: aerosolized skin flakes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What do you think dust is?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

My sweet summer child, if you think those two are synonymous, I hope you never learn otherwise.

8kph is up in speed walking territory

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

It’s unclear whether the person is shedding skin flakes despite wearing the clean room gear. I am guessing the shedding visualization shows what would happen without the clean room gear.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is this because of chafing? Wind resistance? Increased body temperature?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Probably all of the above.

Bad Scaling

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

This is a great explanation of why I feel dirty just driving somewhere over the course of 8-10 hours. Sure I’m not getting dirty, but I’m not passively exfoliating either.
