They only live a few months, and they spend three days of it having sex.

If that doesn't deserve a "hell yeah" then I don't know what does.

A rough estimate tells me that's their equivalent of us fucking for 40 days straight.

EDIT: Actually, I think it's closer to a year.

well, it wouldn't be too crazy to say we fuck for a whole year out of like 80 years, with emphasis on the "too"

well, if you're not me, that is

Some rough math suggests you'd have to maintain an average frequency of over twice per day.

If you get on meth, you can definitely fuck for days on end, which could get you to a year. However I do not recommend it.

Never been more tempted to try meth tbh

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
