If Mumsnet was 100 people

[Rodenhide]

Inspired by this:

What do you think?

80 would be women
75 would be white
88 would be British
1 would be troll
5 would have 10 sock puppets each

Ummmm don't all the numbers have to add up to 200? To make 100 people?

100 I meant* stupid fat fingers

not if you are a white British woman.....

I think you were very unfortunate to get such a nasty piece of work as your first respondent Rodenhide, don't apologise for your lighthearted thread, ignore the troll.

I don’t know Mumsnet well enough to take part but think it’s a funny idea. Liked the video.

99 have trouble with their in-laws

The same 99 actually have a husband not in-law problem

1 puts the loo brush in the dishwasher

50 should never have bought a dog

50 have an annual alcohol intake of half a thimble of low-alcohol, organic sherry on Christmas Day. Any more is borderline alcoholism.

50 drink three bottles of wine on weeknights, plus two litres of gin at the weekend. Any less is boring puritanical nonsense.

Real shame this thread was derailed when it was first posted

50 are trying to lose weight.
25 are 6’5”, weigh 7 stone but still feel flabby.
25 are 4’10”, weigh 18 stone but somehow are still a size 10-12.

5 use mooncups
1 smokes (and will never admit it)
50 believe have £5 to get the end of the month and consider themselves lucky
50 have over 100k in savings and consider themselves poor

One person would have a humour bypass and fail to understand the purpose of the thread

Nah! I reckon at least 5!

95 would be women
3 would be MRA's/TRA's
2 would be mansplainers
85 would be mothers
50 would be sahm
90 would be complaining or have complained about in laws
40 would be or have been victims of dv
15 think co sleeping, cry it out and ff are forms of child abuse (none of these are parents)

"Ummmm don't all the numbers have to add up to 200? To make 100 people?" Erm I'm not sure you understand how statistics work eg in the post you quote

80 would be women
75 would be white

Being a Woman doesn't prevent someone from being white, there'd be overlap

100 people
1 person would be a meek femenist who believes in Christian values
2 people would have the reading comprehension/extrapolation ability of a slug
2 people would be middle class middle aged mothers who think they are the best because they agree with all mainstream views and have brainwashed their children into believing
4 people would be ardent virtue signallers
6 people’s primary occupation would be playing the school admissions system
10 people would be middle class functional alcoholics who drink prosecco and love hurrah for gin
15 people would be in a parking war with their neighbours
20 have in laws from hell
20 are married to a man child
19 are being unreasonable
1 is being stalked/harassed/bullied by a mummy from play group or school who has lost the plot that they vaguely know

I'm going to be another one of those jerks who's a bit bemused by this.

Isn't this concept just a basic explanation of how percentages work?

If Mumsnet was 100 people, one chicken would be enough to feed them all.

I think it was an advert for a website building thingamajig.

However it was interesting.

If mnet was 100pp

60 would be middle class, 1 upper middle and 39 working class. 0.1 would have her own island and deride sahm at every opportunity.

40 would be SAHM whilst 55 would be WOHM 5 would be grandparents

70 would give their dc macdonalds but only 32 would admit it on here.

50 would be nethuns, only 2 would openly admit to loving the tickers.

30 wonder whatever became of Sharon!

If Mumsnet was 100 people, one chicken would be enough to feed them all.

Genuine excellent pithy humour and why I love MN!

1 person has a penis beaker
1 person voted Leave
2 people cannot see the point of learning another language
None live/exist in the hellhole called south London

That was fascinating!

Gonna show ds2 he loves this sort of stuff

In essence yes it is just an interesting way to allow us to comprehend the world around us and visualise the demographics.

Wow some people are very angry about this

I thought it was interesting OP. Reminds me of a book that DS got called Factfulness. It uses similar statistics but to show that actually the world isn’t in quite such a dire state as we are led to believe.

Factfulness book

Jesus - when did people become so joyless.

Get involved or don’t but don’t post if it’s nit your thing

I agree with a pp upthread

It was toilet vs mobile that i found most interesting

And the mandarin english thing
