Oh, but you forgot that all the problems are because the first woman ate the wrong fruit. The bible says that is why pregnancy hurts. The rest of those problems? Well creation scientists have determined that sin caused those too even though the bible didn’t specify it. They know this because they need it to be the case to keep believing in their mythology.
I used to argue this stuff online. I had to quit for my sanity. If anyone wants a sample of the absolute insane beliefs and the staggering amount of handwaving these people are capable of, I suggest checking out evolutionfairytale.com. They will unironically claim to be objective, then a sentence later tell you that “proper science literature” is to be discredited because it has a pro-evolution bias. 🤣
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.
Wait till you hear about caterpillars.
Evolution is one hell of a drug
…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.
It might be intelligent design but not perfect design. I mean we build stuff with flaws too and consider ourselves intelligent.
If God or some space alien was really good with biotech and had these parts laying around the result is pretty good. Most humans function for several decades before stuff breaks. The earth is also a pretty stable ecosystem.
Both much better than we could build.
No, it is not intelligent design.
Please stop as I’m unsure if you’re joking or not and my patience with idiots is gone.
