The Nazi dictator is believed to have had a hidden genetic disorder known as Kallmann syndrome, which can thwart the development of sexual organs, according to a stunning new documentary analyzing his biological makeup.

The condition, which can also inhibit the normal progression of puberty, means Hitler had a 1-in-10 chance of having a micropenis, the Times reported.

I wouldn't call a 1 in 10 chance likely. The title seems rather clickbaity

Imagine you're going to have a surgery and the doctor tells you there's 10% chance it will go wrong and you will lose your dick. What would you say about your chances?

Ask Elon.

That it's a big risk, but not likely.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Interesting. I would say that if it's unlikely then the risk is small. I would also say 10% is pretty likely. For drugs 1-10% chance of a side effect means it's a common side effect.

To me likely means >50%

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 14 hours ago

So I've check and 'likely' can be defined as "Within the realm of credibility; plausible."/" Possessing or displaying the qualities or characteristics that make something probable." which I would say makes 10% likely but also as "having a high probability of occurring or being true : very probable" which would make 10% unlikely. Depends on which dictionary you check :)

What would you say about your chances?

That there's a 10% chance.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 4 points 1 day ago

You're technically correct. The best kind of correct.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Imagine every time you flip a coin there's a 10% chance you get free ice cream.

I'd call that one in ten chances.

Well, the only way we can know for sure is through experiment. We should clone a bunch of Hitler babies and see if any of them come out with micro-penises. Of course, we couldn't do it in Germany for obvious reasons, and the chance of them recognized in America is still a little too high. Maybe somewhere in South America... like Peru... or Chile... or somewhere in that neighborhood...
