50gal is quite generous; average adult weight estimate tops out around 80kg and that doesn’t account for children. Divided by approximate human density 1010kg/m³ gives 0.08m³ or around 21gal. Multiplying that by 8 billion humans and dividing by the ocean surface area of around 361000000 km² gives approximately… 1.8μm of sea level rise.
Hey that gives rise to a new shower thought. If you blended all humans and spread them out evenly across the earth, how many atoms thick would the layer of human be?
