      Well, 4 litres of water weigh 4kg of course, I’m guessing silicon must be slightly heavier, so that’s 8kg+ of weight on top your spine…

        not much, it’s not pure silicon but mostly saline caught in a silicone matrix.

        https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4174160/ says density is between 1.03 - 1.07 g/ml, resulting in only 120-280 g more than pure water.

        Only gripe with this study seems for me that these were measured at standard lab conditions @ 20°C, while they will be at body temperature while in use, maybe changing density. But the mass stays the same, so for our chat here that isn’t that important.

      The average dude on the Fediverse probably carries around twice as much weight in moobs.

      Seriously though, I’ve made myself 4000cc breast forms and they weigh about 8 pounds each. Carrying them around is like carrying a weighted vest.

        Why sling around insults like this?

        It feels like “You can take the user out of Reddit, but you can’t take Reddit out of the user”, lol

        Cmon. Just let people be people.

        You making those breast forms sounds cool. How come you did? Some costume?
