      I cannot describe how much I hate this feeling. It’s probably honestly been protective because I have another reason to always use condoms, and even when I’m drunk, I’m still autistic.

    Also, Appendicitis is when your Appendix, a vestigial organ which produces small amounts of Vitamin C, randomly explodes and kills you.

    Wisdom teeth were amazing to have back when dental care didn’t exist and our teeth fell out from decay or injuries.

    I’m sorry gotta go on a tangent rant I was recently talking to a friend about pregnancy and it is fucking mind boggling. Organs shift, skeleton changes, and then all the crazy chemical stuff going on too.

    The fact that millions of women want this and many experience it more than once is just mind boggling to me.

    Eta: sorry my tangent was inspired by “childbirth is fun” but only showing the pelvis.

        …you’re not wrong but you’re also comparing an insect to a human woman who has the cognition to experience all the discomfort and the high mortality rates even in first world countries.

          The point of the meme, is to show nature sucks. The point in this case is the crazy morphological changes animals in general (which includes humans) can go through via an extreme example of the caterpillar, not to equate a person to a caterpillar. It was poking a little fun at the fascination you and assumably many other men (and even some women) have at the changes women go through for pregnancy despite knowing about the extreme changes a caterpillar goes through usually during elementary school. Knowing that, it shouldn’t be surprising that anything could go through drastic changes for the sake of reproduction. Just because it’s an insect does not mean it’s not complex. It’s probably a good time to mention a tomato has more genes than a human.

          But now you’re starting to turn it into not only a suffering contest, but a human superiority contest: Hyenas have cognition too and they basically give birth through a penis, along with basically having second puberty for the females. Elephants are extremely cognizant and have to go through extremely long pregnancies, on top of humans also nearly making them go extinct because of something stupid like ivory.

          And since you want to make it a suffering competition, the animals win because humanity has screwed them over so badly many are going extinct on a mass scale, including the cognizant ones going through pregnancy themselves.

          Instead of just making pointless suffering games on what is meme post where you can expect jokes based off the memes to occur, you can instead at least link to organizations that help women (and in my case, animals as well).

    Someone recently pointed out the bottom left one is because we can see color better with our eye design.

    Are the other ones still valid?

      “See color better” is because 30+ million years ago one of our ancestors was born with a chromosomal mutation that duplicated the DNA sequence for the red/green cone cells in the retina. That individual had the same color perception as everybody else, but over millions of years the duplicated sequences were able to diverge their peak wavelength receptivities into red and green respectively, allowing better discrimination of colors in that range.

      Interestingly, that individual 30+ million years ago would likely have shown characteristics similar to today’s Down’s Syndrome people, due to the chromosomal duplication. It’s a prime example of why eugenics is so horrifically misguided.

    The periods one is actually addressed by most creationists. In the book of Genesis, Eve (and consequently, all other women) is punished with the pain of childbirth for falling for the lies of the Serpent, and so most creationists view periods as part of that curse. Pretty messed up but that’s how they see it. The vagus nerve is completely nonsensical under intelligent design but makes complete sense under evolution. The biggest issue I see is why TF God made everything in the universe look exactly like it’s way older than it is. The best argument I can come up with is that it was an epic prank to totally own the libs who find all of this stuff 6,000 years later. Like God is like “Hah you just got pranked you stupid nerd! That’ll teach you to be curious about all the cool shit I made!” To believe in creationism is to believe that a huge swath of scientists across an incredibly broad set of fields are part of the largest conspiracy ever conceived of to try to discredit the Bible, or that God is an evil trickster who intentionally laid this giant trap to damn countless souls to Hell.

    Rabbits’ digestive systems are so inefficient they have to eat their own shit to get enough nutrients.
