Length is closer to 2-3 inches. Tip to first bend is more accurately an inch on more people. Width is over 80% of an inch on most males. So, whomever they got 1 inch= thumbwidth from had fat tumbs.

But it’s good to know you can get a rough estimate by just going with “rule of thumb” for inches. Horses are already handwidths tall. It’s good for worldbuilding in fantasy realms without having to make up another random word like “inch” which much of the the time is that native language’s derivative of the word thumb anyway.

Fantasy: don’t reinvent the wheel, go reductionist.

love it XD

It’s one of the areas my brain does well in research. It doesn’t have to be accurate, it’s just got to work.

Cannibalism. I already knew that human meat tastes like pork (which is why it’s called “long pork”). I learned that human meat tends to look like beef. I’m probably on a list now.

Animal maulings. I know I’d end up on a list if I tried researching how to make a death look like an animal mauling, so I figured I’d look up what this looks like instead.

Bible verses that mention cannibalism

Purity balls
