One of them was desperate for a baby. The other maybe not so much.

Sorry, didn’t know that.

Was going off the date in the article, which was yesterday.

when you think about it, the fact we got this far as a species in terms of society and population is astounding. For all intents and purposes we should still be banging rocks together in caves.

Really. Think for a moment: these people have had the modern benefits of the internet, the public library, sexual education courses in school -- something. They may not have paid attention or known exactly where to find that information, but we've had the information available if they wanted it.

Still took them four fucking years to decide to go looking for answers.

Always remember that homosapiens, with all of our natural abilities, have walked this earth for 200,000 years.

That means it took our dumb asses about 188,000 years to decide to stop throwing rocks and sticks at each other in the dirt and start proactively cooperating to grow food.

That's some powerful stupid.

Then remember the first thing our stupid monkey asses used harnessing the power of the atom for.

"Big boomie boom rival monkey tribe! OOH OOH, AH AH!"

Bit harsh, I think nomadic humans were the best humans.

Literally four fucking years.

In evolutionary terms, this IS progress.

If this was truly the caveman days, they would just die after 10 years without reproducing

The fact that they went to get some help and conceived after 4 years is good for them.... But bad foe our collective gene pool

From the Newsweek article:

Although China's alarming lack of sex education has been a widely discussed issue in recent years, little progress has been made to address the problem. Today, the topic of sex remains largely taboo in schools.

The Great Firewall is supposed to block porn. So it doesn't sound like they had a lot of educational opportunities.

Uh...should they have kids...?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a hard time believing this. Everybody; men, women, and everyone in between and around, all know when something is being jammed into their ass.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ehhh, idk. If they grew up sheltered with no sex education it doesn’t. She knew it was going in her ass, she just thought that the baby hole was her ass
