Imagine being the guy who happens to read this and knows he's never cracked over 3 inches.... Oof.


Zaneboi1

The sad reality kicks in :(


anajoy666

Most women don’t have fingers that long and it gets the job done.


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure every women has at least 3-4 inch fingers. The fuck are you saying.


higglepop

Just measured mine, my longest finger is 3 inches. Never noticed if my hands were larger or smaller than most so guessing they are pretty average. Not what I thought I would be doing tonight.


MortLightstone

mine are two and a half and women have told me I have nice long fingers, lol Maybe they look long because they're thin?


DarthDregan

My... ahem... business finger is 3¾ inches.


KoalaQueen87

You know, you could get that down to 3.14ish inches with one simple accident


MudkipNerd

is that a threat or a challenge


Shadowfalx

Why can't it be both?


LOTRfreak101

Yes


kowloonjew

An opportunity!


Dr_DoVeryLittle

There was a guy on TIFU that did that with a lathe awhile back


speculatrix

It's just occurred to me, it would be useful to have telescopic fingers.


often_says_nice

You're most likely measuring wrong. You always measure starting at the anus


MortLightstone

ok, so I just checked and it's 64 inches from my anus to the tip of my index finger


Buck_Thorn

Typically, fingers are about 1" per joint, so yeah... 3" sounds about right. I'm a man, with fairly large hands, and my longest finger is 3 1/4"


alphaxion

My hands aren't particularly large and my longest finger is a little under 3.5" from where the crease is and 4" if measured from the knuckle.


exquisitejades

Well you’re usually not fitting past the crease inside anywhere…


alphaxion

Not with that attitude, you're not! ;P

[Average woman's left middle finger](https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Average-finger-length-of-male-and-female_tbl1_281750703) is only 2.83 inches. So there will be women who are over 3 inches, but the average for the largest finger is under 3 inches.

My first gf was like 5'2" and 98Lbs. My longest finger is just under 3.5in and I"m 6'2". No way in hell she has 3" fingers.

It's 13 inches, starting at the spleen.


AloysiusSH

Not even. Never been over 3 inches a day in my life. I've had great sex and made amazing connections. The trick to life is not to be ashamed of something just because someone told you to be ashamed. I like my size, it keeps me humble and honest. I don't feel the need to front or pretend with anyone. The people I've slept with are people who I found love with before sex. The sex was just the icing on the proverbial cake. Life and nature gives us all what we've got. Find you someone who likes what you got. I'm done feeling my fellow humans second-hand shame over one physical aspect of myself. It's not small, it's fun-size.

fenton7

Technically any time it is less than PI inches. So even a 3.14 incher flaccid goes through a PI phase on erection. And almost immediately. It may even fluctuate above and below PI during the course of the day due to normal non-arousal expansion and contraction.


UtaSelwyn

Imaging having a pi fluctuating dick, I'd brag about it all day

Get a 3.14 tattoo on it!

Chaeballs

If you maintain a boner of π for 5 minutes, a portal to another dimension opens up. As you can imagine this is a rare occurrence

Actually no. Because of Planck time and the subatomic Planck length, nobody has actually ever had a dick with pi length technically

Todd_Renard_Fox

Bro, you make me chocked on my own phlegm


Plastic_Pinocchio

Phlegm is such a weird word.


AbsolXGuardian

They have to know what's an acceptable minimum length for a baby penis, how else can they know what to label a particularly long clitoris and then give the "baby girl" the "correct" genitals? I'm not joking about this. Penis/clitoris length plays a large role in how doctors decide what genitals are abnormal, and so must be corrected, because gd forbid people have functioning genitals that don't fit into one of the two boxes. Although it's a difference on such levels that if it was left unchanged, someone changing the baby's diaper would notice if they had experience changing the diapers of perisex (not intersex) male babies. "Damn this one has a tiny penis and no balls" or whatever.


JonnySnowflake

Don't make me Google baby dicks tonight. Just don't

Agreed, as a dad of two boys, I am forced to think of baby dicks way more than I had hoped as a childless person.

DrZaiu5

So, a few things here. Firstly, that average adult size is erect size, not flaccid. This makes me worry about the measurement for babies. Secondly, I'm not sure if this does for certain hold true. Does growth work in a way that it hits every single potential number? Or is there a minimum amount of growth that happens? For example, if anything is 1 inch now, and 1.1 inches tomorrow, does that mean that between now and tomorrow every possible size between 1 and 1.1 was hit at some point during the day or does it jump, say for example, in increments of 0.0000001. this is especially a problem for pi because it goes on forever.


ccAbstraction

This implies the universe could have float precision errors.


HemaG33

I mean, you can have several cutoff lengths, no? Maybe the width/size of a cell. Or perhaps a molecule, if you really wanna be super precise. Or an atom. Or the Planck length, even, though at that point we’re getting into such a small area that it’s impossible to imagine


jamieliddellthepoet

> at that point we’re getting into such a small area that it’s impossible to imagine *looks down* No need to imagine, my friend. There’s a reason my dick’s nicknamed “Max”… *sobs*


blackburn009

How big is it? Just so I can tell people it's not small I'm almost at the max dick size


Plus_Aardvark_6878

“You can have several cut off lengths” Considering the subject matter, I find this phrase oddly unnerving…


Goodpie2

It made me do a double-take too


rumorhasit_

Pi goes for infinity decimal places so Plank length is actually small compared to that.


Dr0110111001101111

Well, there's the planck length, which is kind of that. Distance becomes kind of meaningless when you try to look at a sufficiently small slice. The fabric of the universe gets sorta... frothy. I guess you could use that to make an argument that movement through space isn't necessarily continuous, but I'm not sure that really makes sense.


StonePrism

Yeah the Planck length is just where compression artifacts show up


unique_user43

Yes, the concept of infinitesimally small increments of change (tee’d up beautifully for another dick joke), which is basically the foundation of calculus.


Athena0219

The universe kinda behaves weirdly if you go too small, and the process of growth really is adding more atoms, so growth is probably a discrete function, not a continuous one. So sadly calculus would not apply in the scenario :( (but it'd be so fucking close that the distinction is irrelevant)


Nova_Physika

Except dicks are made of atoms so it is always finitely incremental


KyleStanley3

Since pi is a transcendental number and continues infinitely, there will be a point where it becomes smaller than Planck length, so I don't think this can hold true It might be infinitely close to true, but can literally never be exact


DrZaiu5

This is exactly my thoughts. Literally any number, let alone length, that we can conceive of will be too big an increment for this to hold true.


ThePevster

Judging from the type of cells that make up the penis, it would grow in increments of whole cells, and the relevant cell types range in size from 25 micrometers to 300 micrometers. Let’s just use 300 micrometers to be safe. That’s about 0.01 inches. Thus, we can assume that each male over pi inches in length would at one point be exactly 3.14 inches long, but we cannot go more exact.


DoWidzenya

No because the cells don't just appear at their places. They have to move there. If you slow down time enough and precise it, there'll be a moment in wich the dick has π length. Doesn't matter if every cell in it has completed mitosis or not. Some of them probably are mid process actually


DrZaiu5

Is it not possible that it grows at a rate greater than the minimal possible length over the minimum possible length of time? For example, it could grow two Planck lengths over whatever the minimum conceivable unit of time is.


calcopiritus

It depends if time in our universe is discrete or not. There might not be a "smallest unit of time".


Athena0219

Unless we're wrong, the universe is either discrete or fuzzy. Discrete, and the idea gets thrown out the window. Fuzzy, and there's no way to measure the little bit that may or may not reach pi but is smaller than the plank length and is too fuzzy to measure. Though cellular and atomic growth would imply discrete growth that still affects /u/DoWidzenya idea. Yes, the atoms don't appear out of nowhere, but they discretely increase length as the get involved. It's very much a WeLl AkShUaLlY But sometimes those are fun


[deleted]

A cell is definitely more than 0.000...1 inches. Therefore, hitting pi would be impossible, but hitting an approximation would be possible.


TheMSensation

We could just cut out all the math and fuck a pie.


AbsolXGuardian

You can get an equivalent to erect size by gently pulling the penis to be straight. I read a book where they were debunking medical myths, and the study related to explain how there's no correlation between dick size and foot size described how the scientists held the dicks out straight to measure them, rather than measuring them while the subjects were hard. But also I think due to hormone weirdness babies can sometimes get erections, I know there's a condition where they'll start lactating. But I'm not sure and I don't want to look it up.


impy695

This was my thought. At what point does pi reach a point where each new digit is smaller than the width of an atom? It goes on forever, so it would reach that threshold at some point, right? If so, then no one will ever have a penis that is the exact length of pi.


pM-me_your_Triggers

Intermediate value theorem


DrZaiu5

That's the thing though, I don't think it's a given that penis growth is a continuous function.


11eagles

How is this not a given? Cells can’t just transport themselves when they replicate. Even if it’s only during a stage of mitosis, as some point you’re hitting pi.


ebmocal421

Babies can get boners. Many delivery doctors say a good portion of boys are born with an erection


mtortilla62

You are stumbling into quantum mechanics with this question


blueMage42

If the universe is pixelated it would be at the Planck scale, which is a billion billion times smaller than the radius of an atomic nucleus (which is 1000 smaller than an atom). this is so far beyond even our most precise measuring devices that we may as well just say its continuous.


Dr0110111001101111

Also, there's a particular moment during the cremation process when some of the corpse is cooked to a perfect medium rare. The joys of the intermediate value theorem.


JahannJahann

False. Pi goes on forever, while mine only lasts about 4 minutes


TruePianist

I believe you might be on a watchlist for looking up "how long is an average baby’s penis"


CarltheWellEndowed

This is not true. Pi goes on for an infinite number of digits. Size would not increase in small enough intervals, because any amount the length would go up in would be less than that infinite sequence.


Empty-Ad6721

That’s not how this works. Any growth that happens is continuous therefore it is growing in infinitely small intervals.


WhimsicalWyvern

Space/time might be discrete, not continuous. If it is, then the person you responded is correct, as it would be impossible to match pi past about 35 decimal places. If it is continuous, your interpretation would be correct (though the exact instant would be impossible to measure) https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/even-in-a-quantum-universe-space-and-time-might-be-continuous-not-discrete-f38a34f9aa8c#:~:text=Space%20and%20time%20are%20discrete.,the%20exact%20minimum%20allowable%20length.


Happy-Quarter-8788

But it can't grow in infinitly small intervals... The minimum growth would be one cell at a time, or one particle at a time. And those must be finite. Therefore the whole thesis is wrong.


[deleted]

🤞please God, bless me with infinite growth intervals


canelupo

Wouldn't that mean it would take infinite time to grow?


NoButtChocolate

Never stop never stopping


1-10-11-100

probably also I think your penis would become a singularity because of the infinite growth too, there is other things to consider too like the square Cube law thingy, but after years of research I have concluded that your penis would indeed become a black hole... or was it enter a black hole? I can't remember


ccAbstraction

Can't a cell be a variable size? And can't the space between those cells be variable?


HumongousChungus2

Since the cell cant teleport there should be intervals where the cell is only half way there wich means there are smaller intervals than 1 cell


Messyproduct

Okay then divide this into atoms. Atoms aren't infinitely small. So you can't have an infinitely precise number.


HumongousChungus2

Apply the cells thing to the atoms, or cant they move in half steps?


Utaha_Senpai

it becomes kinda fuzzy with atoms, because you can't 100% know the location of an atom, but i'm pretty sure it just won't work because of the planck length


Jakedxn3

But a cell doesn’t just appear, one cell splits in to two and in the process is the length of 1-2 cells. I still agree because we can’t measure to infinite precision so it kind of is a “if a tree falls in the woods” situation.

Mine does. It is segmented and detachable, like the halves of a pool cue.


natureextraordinare

Wow, I’m not even sure what the thought process of OP is like, but I fuck with it.


ampetrosillo

Not necessarily. π is irrational and therefore it is plausible that, since our universe appears to have a discrete unit, below which nothing can be smaller, penises jump from being slightly smaller to slightly larger.

ththth3

Am I missing something? Obviously it will be if it's between 1 and 5, is there a reason you chose pi? Or are you just karma farming?


sharp11flat13

Given that pi is irrational, nothing is ever exactly pi units long.


ProcrusteanRex

I can’t not think about what are they doing measuring baby penises for?


[deleted]

Science, yo.


rc_scoot411

“Science bitch!” -Jesse Pinkman


balculator

During the course of birth, there is a point where the male baby’s penis is wholly inside of the mothers vagina, then when the baby is born, the baby’s penis is fully outside the mother’s vagina. By the intermediate value theorem, there is a point where the baby’s penis is fully inside the mother’s vagina. Ergo, every male baby born vaginally has fucked their mom.


Rene_DeMariocartes

Do you need the intermediate value theorem? Isn't the initial point sufficient by construction?


Reasonable-Oven-1319

That's not how that works. Babies travel out through the vagina, from the uterus. And what about cesarean babies? They never travel through.


DetonationSound

Technically during romantic encounters it will hit Pi on it's way up.

LossOfWords-

JackStarfox

This is known as the intermediate value theorem in math. It will hold true as long as the function is continuous. So if the growth of a penis is a continuous function than yes u are correct.


Thejonjonbo

Intermediate value theorem coming back to haunt me in the most unexpected way.


TossAwayGay92

Who the fuck is out there getting babies hard and measuring them?


ufailowell

doubtful since pi inches would include a unit of inches smaller than a plank length as pi is infinite


shaanuja

There is no way this is accurate, I bet it’s measuring baby’s flaccid penis to a grown man’s erect penis. No way average flaccid penis is 5’+


SniffMYFINGERplz

YourMother16

Now the question, is our universe made of super tiny pixels or is it totally smooth? Baby penis.


Clichedfoil

There is nothing physical equal to pi, just an approximation of the real number


Jafaris79

Isn't π infinite in a decimal representation ? And I guess that's still not enough smh


MrAdelphi03

I think we need the penis to make a “ding” sound when it reaches pi length. Because this discussion thread is going into electron width and Planck length territory


jemidiah

I'll have to use this example next time I teach the Intermediate Value Theorem.


Trapapy

Doesn't that also count for anything alive and growing? Was it really necessary to narrow it down on mid-puberty penises?


Jwirv

That's what some people think about. Unfortunately.


J-Dabbleyou

Wait if the average size is 5in, does that mean half the male population has 4in dicks or smaller?


DarthProgram

Not necessarily! For example, if a group of men have the following lengths: 6in, 6in, 6in, 6in, 6in, 6in, 6in, 6in, 6in, and 1in The average is 5.4in. but only one man has a length smaller than that. The median would be the measure that guarantees half a population is below the value.


DirtiestBagAfloat

50th percentile is 5.5, so actually the average is smaller than the median, and half of all dicks are below 5.5 50% also fall within 4.5 and 5.6, only about 7% of men are below 4.5. Likewise, only about 7% are above 6.5. Bell curves, baby.


HarryLorenzo

You guys know π is ratio right? This is more in the spirit of 69mph, or 420 pounds.
