4094 divided by 2 is 2047 male anscestors. The average volume of semen per ejaculation is roughly 3 mL on average.
2047 x 3 is 6141 mL of cum or 6.14 L of cum or about a gallon and a half.
The average fuel efficiency for cars in the US (sorry Europeans) is 25 mpg. This means if cum had the same energy density as gasoline you could travel roughly 37.5 miles on all the cum your male anscestors produced in the last 400 years.
That's only one ejaculation per male ancestor. You can safely assume that the average male ancestor ejaculated more than once. This would increase the distance traveled using the cum energy.
According to Leitzmann et al 2004 the average number of male ejaculations in lifetime is approximately 8700 times. That would be 26,1 litres of cum per male.
Edit: 2047 male ancestors would have produced roughly 53 427 litres of cum. Do we have data on energy density of cum?

I just KNEW someone would do the math. Thank you for your contribution to humanity.
This kind of insight is why I'm here. The next question is, "What is the energy density of jizz?"
In Alabama you would need less than that though.
With 12 generations, that would apply to pretty much everyone. It would be a statistical anomaly for anyone living today to have the full set of 4094 individual ancestors.
I hate to break it to you but a lot of those are the same people.
Are you saying that for the last 11 generations of most people's family history, people were fucking their own offspring?
I was gonna say "I went to high school in Alabama and the math just doesn't work out that way"
There's gonna start being some overlap somewhere down the line
ROLL TIDE!
Sweet home Alabama.
They just overlap much more recently
Good to know there's a long line of people already disappointed in me
this is fucked up calculations, for 100th generation we would need more humans than have ever lived
I'm having trouble understanding this. Why would I need 4 grandparents?... oh... because 2 had a kid and 2 had a kid... then the 2 kids were my parents... so double that for great grandparents....
Damn I just answered it to myself. Guess I shouldn't ask questions while half awake
You do highlight that this ignores incest
A Lemmy cumpost
I don't get how the 400 years have been calculated here. 12 generations should be about 250-300 years maybe?
Anyway, that's of lot of cum indeed.
