We all know we're unique individuals but
-
the important question is, are you normal?
-
For example if you're right-handed,
-
then yes you're in the norm.
-
85% of the global population is as well.
-
And even if both of your parents
-
are left-handed there's only a 25%
-
chance that you will be too but,
-
if you can't roll your tongue you're not
-
normal. 65% to 81% of the
-
population can.
-
Have dark hair normal and only 0.5% of people have red hair
-
Had your wisdom teeth removed,
-
around 65% of people worldwide need this done.
-
And if you wear glasses, you
-
may be part of the growing norm
-
affecting around 2.5 billion people worldwide.
-
It's believed that increased
-
indoor activity in childhood plays a
-
major role in the risk of being
-
nearsighted. If you're single in the U.S
-
you're normal as well. 'phew' 50.2% of
-
adults in America are single, which is a
-
big shift from 1970 when only 37.4% were unwed.
-
Worldwide however 80% of adults have married.
-
Regardless of marital status the
-
average age to have a baby in the U.S
-
is 22.8 for women and, 25.4 for men where
-
is somewhere like Chad the average is 17.9.
-
While Greece is 31.2 years old and
-
if you just had a baby and its name is Sophia
-
or a variant of that, so did most
-
other normal parents given that it's the
-
top baby name in nine countries.
-
If you're having safe and protected sex
-
your normal too, 65.8%
-
of men between 15 to 44 report
-
using a condom the first time they had sex.
-
Compared to 2006 where only
-
47.7% used one
-
This trend is even more prevalent among
-
teens between 15 to 19 years old with
-
78.1% using condoms their first time.
-
But what age is normal to lose your
-
virginity? When sexual intercourse is
-
defined as penile to vaginal sex, the CDC
-
found an average age for American women
-
to be 17.2 years old and,
-
16.8 for men. Have a job?
-
61.3% of people are employed with
-
the most common or normal occupation in
-
America being retail jobs followed by,
-
cashier's, office clerks, food prep, and
-
serving, registered nurses, and wait staff.
-
But if you're serving somebody who
-
enjoys dairy past childhood, they aren't normal.
-
Approximately 75% of
-
adults in the world have some form of
-
lactose intolerance, meaning they
-
experience unpleasant digestive symptoms
-
from dairy products.
-
And if they're a vegetarian, they're in the minority too,
-
with only 4-5% in North America
-
and a little over thirty percent
-
in India excluding meat from their diet.
-
Have a birthday in February? Weirdo!
-
Most people are born around August and
-
September. Statisticians theorize that as
-
the temperature drops, people spend less
-
time outside, causing things to heat up
-
in the bedroom and nine months later,
-
lots of babies are born. And these babies
-
are feeding from an average bra size in
-
America of 36c, an increase from the
-
34b, fifteen years ago. And the average erect
-
penis size? 13 centimeters or 5 inches
-
which is smaller than initial studies
-
found but, most of those relied on
-
self-reporting as opposed to actual
-
study measurements. If you're not exactly
-
feeling normal now, at don't worry we
-
have a whole video on why humans are
-
weird as well. Like why does water leak
-
from our eyes, when we're sad or, why do
-
we bang our hands together to show
-
approval? Click on the screen or the link
