SCP-073 Cain - Tumblr Posts

TW: EDs, discussion of weight, discussion of starvation, discussion of BMI. Stay safe out there bestie

So reportedly, SCP-073 is 6'0 and about 165 lbs. Why does this need to be posted?

Do you know how much metal weighs? Having metal arms and legs would make the absolute lowest weight of a healthy 6'0 male AT LEAST 300 LBS.

We could say that the metal isn't all that heavy, but for it to be functional at all (And it IS) it would still need to up his healthy weight range to at least 200 lbs, probably closer to 250.

*Violently shakes kin* ARE YOU OK? DO YOU NEED A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL?

We're going to use a BMI calculator to figure this out. We'll say that he's 7'0 because to be in a healthy weight range you must be at least 225 lbs if you are 7', and we assume that eh would also need to be in that range.

That would put his BMI at 16.4. This is considered dangerously low, and while his anomalous properties do allow him to be immortal, that doesn't mean that being in a state of starvation with no chance of turning down your metabolism to keep you stable won't have consequences. Quantity of life isn't quality of life.

All I'm saying is someone should check on this magnificent bastard.
