Today, I calculated Norman Reedus' urinary flow rate from the Death Stranding gameplay trailer.
When he begins to pee he has 247ml of urine in his bladder. 18.6 seconds have passed when he finishes pissing, but the trailer is a 30 FPS video, so converting 18.6 seconds from timecode to seconds gives you 18.551866666666665 seconds. I'm just gonna round it to 18.55 seconds I hope you guys can forgive me.
Because of that, we know that he can expel 247ml of urine in 18.55 seconds, which makes his urinary flow rate 13.31536388140162 ml/second. I'm gonna round that one to 13.3ml/s
Now, if you look into some scientific papers, you can find that the average urinary flow rate for a group of males with a median age of 31 is 13.05 ml/s, with an error rate of about + or - 5 ml/s. This actually means ol' Norman is doing pretty good, considering he has to be in his mid to late 40s in this game based on appearance.
This ALSO means that either someone working on Death Stranding got really lucky predicting how much Norman Reedus should piss, or it was someone's job to look up urinary flow science to make sure this aspect of the game was correct.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
