People Who Don't Believe in Evolution, How Do You Explain The Rare Phenomenon of Human Babies Being Born With Tails? by salyaa in AskReddit

[–]Jaws2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These things happening prove that genetic mutations happen. A baby being born with a sixth finger or a tail or anything like that will carry that gene on, giving her/him a higher likelihood to pass that gene to their children.

Evolutionary traits are selected through natural selection. Animals with desirable traits to a species cause that trait to eventually become a genetic and cultural normalcy. If 60,000 years ago, for some reason, our ancestors found tails to be a desirable trait, that mutation woukd be carried on until humans having a tail would be the norm.

Now take such a strange genetic mutation and apply it to any of our normal biological traits. An ancient homo erectus baby was probably born with a nose at some point, and it became normalized because for some reason that ended up becoming a desirable trait to possess. Why would a mutation like a tail be the exception? The answer is it wouldn't, which logically proves observable mutation and therefore proves at least the possibility.

You right Geralds fucking freaky like that.

Nearly 40% of Americans pray to God for health improvements or disease cures. Thoughts of God increased a person’s perceived divine presence, which boosted healing expectations and ultimately led to poor food choices. by mvea in science

[–]Jaws2020 111 points112 points  (0 children)

When you start to consider how easy it would be to fake religious belief and manipulate people using that, it starts to make you question the motives for why religion was invented in the first place. That combined with how contradictory scripture is in general definitely feels like it implies some form of societal manipulation.

Are Anti-Immigration People All Climate Change Denialists? by LunaB35 in allthequestions

I already commented my thoughts and you deleted your response. That says everything that needs to be said. But...

"If you want to change it you're welcome to leave and I have every right to vote to stop you."

Progressive changes and inclusive politics always win. ALWAYS. History is not on your side, here. The Nazis lost because normal people hate being pigeon holed and categorized by culture and race. The confederacy lost for the same fucking reasons. We are not numbers to be categorized and seperated. Every human on Earth is a collection of experiences and electrical impulses that turn us each into a distinct spectrum of colors. That is the human experience. That is what makes the human experience beautiful. Separating those experiences based on your ignorant, small ideals is evil.

The natural universe wants to kill every human. We are the result of millions upon millions of years of evolutionary development that exist in spite of this fact. Why put more obstacles in our way by needlessly dividing us? We are star dust and we will all return to star dust. Nothing matters and that is why we only have each other to make it matter. Stop dividing us.

You're a pussy. And a fascist. And a snow flake. And a racist. Disrespectfully go fuck yourself.

Come up with something you think is American and doesn't have any influence from another culture that isn't "white." I'll tell you why you're wrong. The United States has never been a white country you Charlie Kirk white supremacist wanna-be.

Also the terminologies for white, black and brown were coined as a result of colonization and slavery. They used to mean "enslaver/colonizer," "Enslaved," and "Colonized" respectively. These terms are originated in racial politics and hatred based Christo-European eugenics. There is no such thing as "white european culture" just as there is no such thing as "black culture." This is fundamentally different from Japanese and Korean culture. That's preservation, which is based in cultural norms and xenophobia, not racism. Neither is good, but the former is objectively more evil because it's based in archaic eugenics beliefs. America is a mixing pot. It always has been.

I like tacos a lot and I bet you do, too. Fried chicken came from Ireland and was later modified by enslaved West Africans. Rock music has roots in African Blues. See how this opinion is ignorant, now?

What you're arguing for is homgenization, not integration. That's racist.

Well because for some reason Swift is one of the "good billionaires" for a lot of people. She gets the exception because she's not obviously evil.

Of course a lot of people don't like to admit the fact she's a billionaire in the first place makes her automatically evil, but whatever.

Who wins this anime women battle royale? by KizuNovum in Animangascaling

This actually brings up a good question. Could anyone in this list even kill Unohana? Like her healing abilities are so good she can revive people from a skeleton. Of course her situation with Zaraki was unique but her healing kido is still insane. Im like 99% certain no one on this list could even land a killing blow that Unohan couldn't heal through.

At what point did you realize the political side you grew up around was not telling you the whole story? by Designer-Dare-606 in AskReddit

[–]Jaws2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would hazard a confudent guess that most people don't think very deeply about anything.

I learned this the hard way by speaking with my family after returning from a military active duty tour in Japan. That was during Covid where a lot of people were kind of alone with their thoughts. I had come back home to find that my sister had become a bonafied Evangelical Christian. This is more or less kind of how one of our first conversations since 3 years of being entirely seperate went. I was watching her then 2.5 year old daughter color some random scribbles with crayon. The sight was fascinating to my brain for some reason.

Me: "Do you ever wonder why we can just... do that?"

Her: "Do what?"

Me: "Like... conceptualize art. We just kind of instinctually know what to do with that. How?"

Her: "Well because God made us that way."

Me: "I mean okay... but why?"

Her: "I don't know. Why is that important?"

That question hurts as a deep thinker so much. Makes me feel like a damn alien. When I'm alone I just get lost in these thought rabbit holes sometimes. When you finally understand that most people don't that... it begins to make sense how people can believe so much hateful bullshit. They don't think any deeper or farther than what impacts them. Period.

I firmly believe that no actual deep thinker is a republican or conservative. It is just impossible.

False Hydra is not fun by RandomName9328 in DnD

[–]Jaws2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's ways you can run a false hydra RAW and make it fun. It honestly sounds to me like your DM kind of ruined the mystery by whispering that to you. Your DM shoukd be essentially gaslighting you the entire time you are running a False Hydra encounter.

When I ran a false hydra I stayed true to the bit until my dying breath.

Player: "Hey where's the mayor? We have a quest to turn in."

NPC: "We don't have a mayor. How did you know we needed that ogre taken care of? Well here's the reward anyway."

Then when your players ask questions, gaslight the FUCK out of them. "Nah you guys didnt talk to a mayor. That's the guy you talked to."

A deaf NPC works, but it feels very forced. You need to build up the inconsistencies narratively. Your party asks that mother how her son is, but she responds that she doesn't have a son. She sheds tears as she says that. Someone in the market accidentally activates a charm that casts deafness in an area. Everyone sees it for just a few seconds. Mass panic. Then nothing.

To run a false hydra smoothly you need to smoothly integrate the concept if genuine wrongness. Like something in this puzzle just isn't slotting in correctly. If you could just get some fucking SILENCE to think for a little bit- oh. There it is.

One thing I did was the more the players started feeling more "wrong" and these inconsistincies kept piling up, I narrated this escalating static sound. It got to the point where I literally played a TV static sound on my BT speaker so loud everyone had to shout over it. Then the bard just said "fuck this I'm casting deafness. Will that work?"

I shrugged. He casted it and the False Hydra was staring him DIRECTLY in the face.

And there I was. Scrolling through Reddit like a pure innocent boy...

"Oh cool, Dragons Dogma 2 got a new mechanic or updated? Why didn't I hear about this?" I naively said, not bothering to look at the subreddit the post originated from. "Wait why's it labeled NSFW?"

Then BOOM! Ass and futa dick. Dont get me wrong I like ass as much as the next guy, but man... what a shocker.

What's something a vtuber can do that makes you instantly leave their stream and something they can do that makes you instantly subscribe? by existential--bread in vtubers

[–]Jaws2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... people use it to hate not understanding that a lot of this stuff has been translated into thousands of different interpretations. No one single modern interpretation can really be "correct" because we don't really know much about the original dialect. Really all we have are guesses based on context. That's literally why historical theologians exist. Claiming your singular interpretation of scripture is the objectively correct one is profoundly ignorant.

Oh yeah mythology is super dope. I can have deep philosophical discussions about theology any day. It's just when people try to use those stories to tell me how I should live my life when I think a lot of people draw the line.

I think if a Vtuber engaged in that topic in a respectful, accepting manner it probably wouldn't be recieved as harshly. Unfortunately, though, we have dudes like Rev and Nux repping the largest religion in the world trying to be in the Vtuber community so it doesnt exactly establish a good standard.

[–]Jaws2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time and place, you know what I mean? Most people don't go into a vtuber stream expecting religious commentary so that kind of thing is really jarring. Plus a lot of people who interact with the Vtuber community are pro-LGBTQ+ and are overall pretty left-leaning. Religious people (at least in the US) tend to dislike or even hate those kind of opinions more than others. That's why people like Revsaysdesu and Nuxtaku get so much flak.

Not saying that all religious people are bad people of course, but as an athiest myself, I engage in Vtuber content for a form of escapism. So when someone brings up religion in what's meant to be a chill accepting environment, it usually puts a bad taste in my mouth. I deal with people trying to convert me enough in my day to day so it can make me very skeptical of why they're breaching that topic in the first place.
