Do you ever wonder how many people stood exactly where you’re standing now, and what they left behind?

Can't be just me.

This time.

No .. just you 😂

Have wondered a bit of the history of property I've owned .. but more so about events and what people went through at historic places I've been like The Alamo, The Little Bighorn Battlefield, Yorktown, Gettysburg, Independence Hall, etc
@BrandNewMan I've stood on a mountain, wondering who stood in spot before me. What were they like. Their lives
@Bexsy Well ..
I did that that this past week a time or two

With there having been ~ 117 Billon total humans throughout history and 8 billion now, that would come to ~13-5/8 ths on average for each of us. (subtracted 8 from the 117)

Lots of variables, but a best guesstimate.
😵‍💫😁

And...
Those folks left behind 380,000 lbs of poo and 139,000 gallons of pee.

186, 000 gallons of bodily fluids like tears, saliva, and sweat.

54 million gallons of CO2. (converted from liters... odd.. expected a weight or volume)

[Edited to significant digits - just estimates anyway]
@Neoerectus I love your mind, my friend

I am seated in my car in a gas station parking lot.

They probably left candy wrappers.

Before the lot, it probably had leaves and acorns. Maybe at one point cornstalks. And then before that leaves and acorns again.

I'm sitting too. But why did you ask such a question? None of that matters. Everything is constantly changing.
@Prince0217 the same reason you read it.

This theme comes up several times in Antler's poem Factory.

Show me the pageant of every creature
born or died on this point on earth,
that sexed here or ate here or played here
or slept here for here was its home!

and

Or why not the snapshot album of the faces
of everyone committing suicide this second?

and

How many boys are assembling plastic models of dinosaurs
in Wauwatosa this second?
How many boys are pretending their hands are dogfighting biplanes
in Wauwatosa this second?
How many boys are riding bikes with feet on the handlebars singing
in Wauwatosa this second?
How many boys are playing "Engulfed Cathedral" on the piano
in Wauwatosa this second?
How many boys are reading Martin Eden in Wauwatosa
falling in love with poetry in this second?
How many boys are jacking off in the Universe this second?

Probably a discarded used condom.
@basilfawlty89 i am sorry.

basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@Bexsy you need a hug? I need a hug after that!

Nah lol, just playing.
I actually did laugh, that was well played.
@basilfawlty89 thank you 😌
