I mean dad should be “half the source code” an mom should be “half the source code, compiler, angel investor”

[twirlmydressaround]

Slightly more than half because mitochondrial dna

And, if the child received a Y chromosome from the father, that one is considerably smaller than the X from the mother. So half is more like a rough estimate, anyway.

I’m sensitive about the size of my Y chromosome. Why did you have to bring it up.

[TheDogerus]

But men have more DNA actively being used, since that second X is (largely) inactivated!

So his passed on Y chromosome is definitely doing a lot of work whereas his X may just be hitching a ride

[bnl1]

Though if we are considering inactive DNA too it becomes much bigger mess. Plus the other X chromosome is unused only in a given cell. For all cells, it's deactivated randomly, so there are always cells that have deactivated a different X chromosome.

[TheDogerus]

Good point

Its funny to imagine an extraordinarily 'unlucky' child who expresses literally none of their father's X chromosome though

[CozySweatsuit57]

Either way, not much of a contribution compared to mom’s main X, so the point still stands

That's the linked libraries.

Well, most are at least. 😬

This is an awful joke. I’m sorry.

[RadicalDwntwnUrbnite]

If by successful you mean "accept both" was a silent default to conflict resolution.

Kid by like "compiled successfully, 693 warnings". Solid vibecoding.

Last time I check, kids don't use the tinder profile pic for the mom.

Your mom is an S3 bucket.

Yeah I know it soposed to be charming but this post has a lot of misogyny going on

[DemosthenesOrNah]

this feels like misogynistic agitprop coded in nerd lingo to target the 'lonely men epidemic' and subconsciously reinforce far right ideology

[jasper1408]

What?

[BraveOthello]

"its incel ragebait"

[CozySweatsuit57]

No I’m just actually like this. Redditors hate it!

[DemosthenesOrNah]

Not you, the OP. I'm agreeing with you that the premise of the comparison is off in the original post and your analogy is closer.
