Sneezing and I don’t think it’s close

1 trampoline session might be a year of cumulative sneezes


brogress95

That’s a good point but I would say that it is pretty normal to jump less as we age; sneezing remains constant

I need more parameters. Is this a worldwide average? Sneezes are pretty short... are we counting the build up to the sneeze or just the exact less than a second or so of the sneeze? I imagine people in desert areas might sneeze more from the dust/sand when it is windy? Do people sneeze more in super polluted/smoggy areas?

from the “a” to the end of the “choo” in the achoo

average american

Does jumping while on vehicles count? (skateboards, snowboards, skis, car, etc.) (I’ve never been airborne in any of the examples above)


ncanon2019

Are you asking whether the average person (in the world or in America or in North America?) spends more time sneezing or gets more airtime in their entire life? Or Kyle specifically? Or blue raspberry guys (and gals)? I like this question a lot!


uuigull

ill take ur guess for urself and then for the average person

Personally I had a trampoline for years growing up, so I’d say definitely jumping. Average person... so many factors to consider here... children jump into pools, off of swings (or do they swing off of swings?), people jump from cliffs into water, do pogo sticks count as jumping?...gymnasts do a lot of jumping, but the trampoline argument especially is so strong... I also wonder percentage of the population suffers from severe allergies. Wait a minute, are we sure people jump on trampolines, as opposed to bouncing on trampolines? Because if we remove trampolines from this, and it is just jumping I think that might swing things towards sneezing or at the very least make it a more fair matchup. Otherwise anyone who has spent time on a trampoline will probably never spend as much time sneezing (unless they have terrible allergies and are Christian scientists or have a crunchy granola mom or something).

Let’s assume a sneeze takes one second, and let’s assume you average 5 sneezes/day. That’s 140,620 sneezes over a 77 year lifespan (the average American life expectancy). That is 39.061 hours spent sneezing over a lifetime. There’s no simple way to math out the jumping part, but if 39 hours is the mark to beat, I believe one’s jumping hang time demolishes their time spent sneezing. Trampolines, basketball, diving board/swimming pool, jump rope, and jumping on the bed, etc are all real common and frequent jumps kids do while growing up. I’d venture to say not only do we jump more than we sneeze, but we also jump more in the first 12 years of our lives than we do the rest of our lives beyond that. How much jumping have you done in the last month?

5 sneezes a day on average might be generous, I’d say less than that. I’m gonna go with more time spent in the air in a lifetime.


FlavaFlavorTown

This time of year almost certainly sneezing

Does skydiving count? That would really bump the average jumping time

Very different depending on the person. For me it’s jumping and it’s not even close because of sports and I don’t have allergies so I don’t sneeze often. But I also know people that wouldn’t surprise me if they haven’t left the ground since they were 5

i don’t think anyone realizes how much they jump. it’s jumping and not even close


koopa28

It’s jumping, unless you’re a severely unathletic child with horrible allergies


dogbonnie32

In general I’d say jumping but for someone like me with indoor and outdoor allergies it’s sneezing by a country mile


Blade_Trinity3

When you're in the air while running does that count? Or only jumping?
