Only gripe with this study seems for me that these were measured at standard lab conditions @ 20°C, while they will be at body temperature while in use, maybe changing density. But the mass stays the same, so for our chat here that isn’t that important.
It’s just a jovial jab at us Internet people in general. I’m big myself. Also, it’s meant to remind people of the weight we all carry around on our spines. People kind of lose their minds and get all moral about boobs. 16 pounds of muscle or man fat on top of a spine is perfectly cromulent but 16 pounds of boob, real or fake, is evil and will destroy it.
I made the breast forms because I’m a crossdresser.
I see. The shadows that a snarky fatphobic internet casts on that language (“average [x] user”, “moobs”) are heavy, and it was hard for me to see the attempt to reclaim.
somewhere before 4000cc. carrying that around on your chest looks like it would cause some serious damage to your body.
my arse at first read it as 4000bc
Damn, an ass with eyes… Now i didnt expect that.
Well, 4 litres of water weigh 4kg of course, I’m guessing silicon must be slightly heavier, so that’s 8kg+ of weight on top your spine…
not much, it’s not pure silicon but mostly saline caught in a silicone matrix.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4174160/ says density is between 1.03 - 1.07 g/ml, resulting in only 120-280 g more than pure water.

16kg, 8*2
He was distracted thinking about the boobs 😅
what? 4 litres each 4x2 = 8
each is 4l
seems like projection
The average dude on the Fediverse probably carries around twice as much weight in moobs.
Seriously though, I’ve made myself 4000cc breast forms and they weigh about 8 pounds each. Carrying them around is like carrying a weighted vest.
Why sling around insults like this?
It feels like “You can take the user out of Reddit, but you can’t take Reddit out of the user”, lol
Cmon. Just let people be people.
You making those breast forms sounds cool. How come you did? Some costume?

Also, crossdressing is based.
