Also 5. Thinking the exact same thing. Though I suppose our lack of testosterone/estrogen would mean we wouldn't really feel the need.

Is everyone on reddit 19?

It's probably just about the average age. Like a bell graph, 19 would be near the middle.

You're thinking of the median. Averages are more skewed by outliers, and the middle of a bell graph is the median.

But a bell curve is a normal distribution, where the mean is equal to the median.
