If you've ever wondered what the entire world's population would look like if they were blended together into one ginormous ball of goo, you're in luck.
Twitter user @_AstroErika thought she would enlighten the internet with this bizarro factoid by posting an image of what this slimy mass of earth's humans would look like.
The suggested size of the gooey mass is not at all what you might expect.
But then, what were you expecting, really?
Erika captioned the image with:
“If you blended all 7.88 billion ppl on Earth into a fine goo (density of a human=985 kg/m3, average human body mass=62 kg), you would end up with a sphere of human goo just under 1 km wide."
For a sense of scale, she plopped the People Orb into a popular New York setting.
“This is a visualization of how that would look like in Central Park.”
Are you ready for it?
\u201cIf you blended all 7.88 billion ppl on Earth into a fine goo (density of a human=985 kg/m3, average human body mass=62 kg), you would end up with a sphere of human goo just under 1 km wide. This is a visualization of how that would look like in Central Park.\n\n\u00a9 reddit/kiwi2703\u201d— Erika \uea00 (@Erika \uea00) 1654373291
At 843 acres, Central Park is the fifth-largest urban park in New York City.
Considering the earth's population numbering at over 7 billion people, the slimy orb represented in the digital mockup doesn't even eclipse the grandness that is Central Park.
Erika quipped in a follow-up tweet, "P.s. You are in this photo...."

\u201c@_AstroErika As a statistician, this is great effective visualisation. I shall suggest it to my colleagues at StatsCan to represent each CAN city population density \ud83d\ude00. Somehow, I can\u2019t stop thinking that this massive \u2018fine goo\u2019 is responsible of so many irreversible damages on earth \ud83d\ude41\u201d— Erika \uea00 (@Erika \uea00) 1654373291
People made wisecracks about the photo op.
