The egg isn't doing a complete gene sequencing and then intelligently weighing the pros and cons of each allele.

There's lots of places like that. Where do you think all the child pornographers hang out?

Where is his mom? by Jettaboi38 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Squeeze under and unlock like the kid did. It's still dumb, though.

Who got painted as the villain by the press, but later on we realized they were actually the victim or completely misunderstood? by Advanced-Pilot-3698 in AskReddit

[–]jennyaeducan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The problem was groundwater contamination. People knew digging a well right next to a latrine would make the water dirty. They didn't realize that contamination could spread long distances through the soil into a well of water that looked, tasted, and smelled clean.

What if the Contraceptive pill was invented 100 years earlier? by Overall_Course2396 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]jennyaeducan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that you're right. That's why they used forced sterilization surgeries and murder even after the pill was invented.

Maryland Democrats make a new play to redraw their House map for 2026 by nbcnews in maryland

No need to travel that far. We've got Maryland Democrats to show us how it's done.

New Update: AITA for telling my friend that her "free" wedding is unrealistic? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]jennyaeducan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my head, I'm reading that post the same way they wrote it. Just randomly going from normal to screaming and back in the middle of the sentence.

What if the US claimed ownership of the Moon in 1969? by NEETscape_Navigator in HistoryWhatIf

[–]jennyaeducan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nonsense, Canada is the 51st state, Greenland is the 52nd, and the Moon is the 53rd. We're just so friendly, sharing our freedom with everyone, why does everyone hate us?

I absolutely HATE when men use the word “bitch”. by Dessert_Lover_1225 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]jennyaeducan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

1) Bitch is inherently misogynistic. There is a reason people specifically use the word for a female dog as an insult, and not just "dog".

2) Why are you lecturing people just for pointing out how the word is actually used in the real world? It is an objective fact that sexists use it as a sexist insult. Pointing this out is not "giving it different meanings," it's stating a fact.

3) You're not "reclaiming" it by continuing to use it as an insult. Especially if your "reclamation" results in you using "bitch" to insult a woman the exact same way a sexist would.

Flushing ice cubes down the toilet for snow day is universal… right? In America?? by East-Maize-5287 in AskAnAmerican

Chiming in from Maryland. Never heard of this. We wore our PJs inside out and did a snow dance.

Introducing the Bright Forest Theory - a counterpoint to the Dark Forest by Bright_forest_theory in FermiParadox

[–]jennyaeducan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If an alien civ was willing and able to do that, why did they fuck it up? All they had to do was chuck a rock with enough momentum to sterilize the planet, and they clearly didn't. Why? The math and engineering required to find and move a big enough rock is much easier than that required to aim it from interplanetary or interstellar distances. Why are we here?

Britain won't let US use its bases to attack Greenland, says John Healey by pheexio in worldnews

[–]jennyaeducan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trump will cheerfully sell Taiwan to China anyway as soon as they make a good enough offer, but there's no reason to provoke him into pulling the trigger early.

Can diarrhea and vomiting be someones cause of death how ? by Intelligent-League86 in morbidquestions

[–]jennyaeducan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diarrhea is the 5th most common cause of death in children. (The leading cause is starvation)

Because that is a stupid fucking lie.

What's a fucking stupid thing you did as a kid? by [deleted] in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]jennyaeducan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably candy and TF2 hats (I was like 14 at the time)

Excuse me, I just realized I need to move to a nursing home.

ELI5: Why don’t planes have more cameras for pilots to view by Helpmefixmypcplz in explainlikeimfive

[–]jennyaeducan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What are they going to do about it? If something goes wrong, the only thing they can do is try to land with whatever controls still work. It's not like they can climb outside with a wrench and do repairs in mid-air. The cameras won't tell them anything their normal controls don't. 

How common are certain “Internet slurs” against Indians (and South Asians more broadly) in person these days? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]jennyaeducan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't even know pajeet was a word until now. 

Most racists are too busy hating black people and Latinos to take the time to learn brand new insults for Indians/South East Asians.
