Ok I’ll bite:
30 horses in the park, 6h per horse per day, uniform pooping
Call it 14 kg of feces per day per horse
Humans shit ~100g/day
115k park visitors a day
For humans to match that horse output, nearly 1% of all daily visitors would have to be pooping on the ground…
Granted, the horses have waste catchers, but even under a 90% efficiency regime it’s still 10kg of horseshit spread over the lower loop
Great math!
You overlooked the sentient-omnivore-who-leaves-makeshift-toilet-paper disgust multiplier.
If that factor is set to 100 (consider how inoffensive horse pucky is vs finding a year-old's soiled diaper) then we're talking 0.01% of 115K humans matches the horses.
That's only 11.5. Did 12 people drop one in Central Park today? That's one duece for every 70 acres.
