It's just a lot of copies of the same information. Not very efficient.

That's why I always call it a packet storm. "Girl, I'm about to DDOS that booty."
This calculation is off by an order of magnitude.
The human genome has about 3.1 billion base pairs. Each sperm has half of that. Ignoring epigenetics, each base pair has four options (A/T/C/G), so it can be represented by two bits each.
All told, that's 3.1 gigabits = 388 megabytes per gamete.
So what would the total amount of information in an average ejaculation be? Dumb it down for me, please? Lol
Surely after some lossless compression this could be improved drastically
am i dumb or shouldn't it be 2 times 3.1 billion bits, so 6.2 gigabits according to what you said
If you assume an average ejaculation distance of 9 inches and a nominal speed of 15 mph (this is apparently surprisingly well studied) - you get a data transfer rate of 46,500 TB/s.
I once joked I could jizz faster than my shitty internet connection. Guess I was right
Here's a 75mb joke:
There were 2 sperm, swimming along.
One says to the other one:
"We've been swimming for ages. How long until the egg yet?"
The other replies:
"The egg!? Oh. It's not for miles yet. We've only just passed the tonsils."
Edit:

Oh, in that case then, I guess that's a 776mb joke.
This is why a big...hard...drive is important.
Crazy to imagine that some Tylenol can corrupt so much data.
How do they calculate that?
Each DNA base can be represented in 4 bits because there's only 4 values: A, T, G or C. (This is a simplification because of epigenetic base modifications, but works for now). So just take the length of DNA and multiply by 4 for the amount of bits the data represents. You do have to add up the lengths of all the chromosomes considering that sperm only have one copy of each chromosome, not two. Also factor in that there is no mitochondria in sperm. Lastly, about half of the sperm will be carrying an X and half will be carrying a Y chromosome so just take the length of the (X + Y) / 2 for the sex chromosome. Now just multiply by the amount of sperm in an average ejaculation and you'll get a good estimate.
Trump enters the chat
Does he have to? In every single thread?
I don't wanna think about where his sperm has been.
So if I jerk off, I could use that to store porn, thus making me jerk off more, thus providing more porn storage…
Wow, I didn't know I was better than a pigeon at transmitting information across long distances.
I'm here for your large data transfer needs, business fellows!
Not that much information, but a lot of redundancy. Every sperm carries the same X or Y-Chromosome. So every sperm contains the same information as half of the other sperm. Or did I miss something?
You missed like, a huge amount. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiosis
