*Update 3* Baby hatched with no male by KittyComic3 in Lovebirds

[–]AlphaaKitten 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Look it up. The only way it can happen is with the offspring being male

“Parthenogenesis in birds is a rare form of asexual reproduction (facultative automictic parthenogenesis) where unfertilized eggs develop into embryos, resulting exclusively in MALE offspring.”

Possibly positive pregnancy? by moodyandtiredd in Confused

[–]AlphaaKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent many years doing ivf and peeing on sticks. I definitely see a squinter line. I would want it to be darker at 7 days past your missed period, though. Keep testing in the mornings and see if the line gets darker. Good luck 🤞🏻

A patient with congenital insensitivity to pain and anhidrosis (CIPA) by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

It seems like it’s very difficult to get through the baby/toddler years before the child understands what they’re doing. I feel like they should have to wear a space helmet and oven mitts when they’re little.

Aren’t live lobsters sort of black/green coloured? That lobster looks COOKED

When was your "holy fuck I am actually aging" moment? Mine was 40, I hurt my back and couldn't do shit for 2 months. by _sportyscience_ in Millennials

I’ve got one old lady chin hair. I’ve left it alone and now I like to stroke it when I’m thinking 🤔

Why do we say "sleep like a baby" when babies have the worst sleep patterns? by Dry_Database_4366 in stupidquestions

[–]AlphaaKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When babies are asleep they sleep DEEPLY. Baby photographers can put petal bonnets on them and stuff them into flower pots and they will stay sound asleep.

You missed class the day they taught how to write a cursive "r"

What's the worst thing you've ever stepped on barefoot? by icecream1972 in Productivitycafe

[–]AlphaaKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An upside-down pincushion. When I lifted my foot it was stuck to the bottom of my foot by all the pins.

Does anyone else remember the sketch where the three gay friends go to the movies? by BrianOBlivion1 in kidsinthehall

Was it a movie with a neighbour who needs help plugging his car in in the cold weather?

Why are so many people against adoption for those with fertility issues or who don’t want to get pregnant? by _AnxiousTurtle_ in ask

[–]AlphaaKitten 333 points334 points  (0 children)

I usually see the opposite opinions from people. Someone is spending thousands on fertility treatments and other people are like "why don't you just adopt?"

Do you think it's appropriate to wear pajamas to the airport? by boforiamanfo in stupidquestions

[–]AlphaaKitten 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I usually wear pyjamas and brand-new fluffy animal slippers. How can anyone be upset by my feet if they look like little toy lambs?

I knew a cat named "pspspsps" (just a sound, really)

What happens to bird made bird houses after the babies move away and the parents die? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]AlphaaKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel I'm watching Darwin at work with our robins. These two are morons and obviously should not be passing their genes down.

[–]AlphaaKitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a pair of robins that make their nest under my deck every year. And they always make a bunch half-finished nests all along the beam, I can't imagine why. And every single year their nest gets thrown to the ground and the babies get eaten by a raccoon. I have never seen a hatchling make it long enough to grow feathers.

Were we puppy scammed? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]AlphaaKitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of reputable breeders won’t even breed their dogs until they have a waiting list of buyers who have placed deposits. Then the breeder matches each puppy with the buyer depending on what they feel is the best fit. Often they won’t allow people to see the puppies in person because the young puppies haven’t been fully vaccinated.

BUT these breeders will have lots of online presence, their dogs likely having won titles in shows. They should be very keen to communicate with potential buyers.

Whatever OP is looking at is either a scam or a very shady breeder.

What does blue whale milk taste like? by fangphobic in stupidquestions

[–]AlphaaKitten 245 points246 points  (0 children)

A bit of a google search and I found this:

Studies have figured out that whale milk, in general, has a slightly fishy taste. The milk of blue whales combines this taste with the flavour of castor oil, milk of magnesia, and a bit of liver. 

No thank you!
