FYI: you can't kill a baby through keeping them awake. An adult you can kill this way.

    Neuroplasticity. The infant will attempt to adapt to the surroundings, the adult is "stuck in their ways".

    Aw, shucks. I thought you were about to suggest a dumpster-side quickie to make one.

    I would’ve made that joke if I knew their gender, because no amount of fucking between two guys would make a child

    Isn't the definition of neuroplasticity that the brain will change?

    Edit: I guess more "the brain can change." Still, adult's have Neuroplasticity. That is very well documented.

    Yeah I don't believe you can kill an adult this way unless they aren't used to a lack of sleep. I seem to function ok for a random distribution of 2-4 hours of sleep a night

    This is like a chain smoker looking you dead in the eye and saying "You can't die from smoking. Look at me, I smoke 10 packs a day and it ain't killed me yet!"
