Ah, so corpse count AND proximity are both factors? Along with knowledge of the presence of said corpse?
Comment on The scientific method
peanuts4life@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months agoThe whole premise of this meme is a bit silly. If there was a corpse floating near the beach, I think most people might wait for the corpse to be removed, and perhaps even a reasonable cause of death to be determined, before entering the local area. The same is true for pools.

And corpse size. The variables are piling up… This is gonna be a difficult study

This can be simplified to the individual’s understanding of how quickly they could be touching a corpse.

Corpse size still plays a role. You wouldn’t want to touch a dead tadpole, but you may not even notice.

As it says, there’s a minimum acceptable volume/corpse ratio.
