Sally Amaki is always big mood but is always right.
Thank you for your service
I like how this flips the narrative from: “I need to make my impact on the future by leaving a child!” to “I can also make an impact on the future by deciding not to leave a child here!”
I looked it up and it seems that there are other Homo sapiens sapiens, so it was never up to me after all.
Eh… My brother has two sons. No need for me to add more.
If the avatar icon is the real her, she’s a bit young to decide that finally. Circumstances change and biological clock rings around 30, instincts are a scary thing.
NGL the girl in that profile picture could realistically be anywhere between 12 and 47. The way skincare routines are these days, and then Photoshop on top.
You’re hitting all the sad tropes for a laugh, right?
It’s all good. Societies have fewer kids and worship fewer invisible sky gods as they get more educated and less food-insecure. It’s just a stat.
I just worry when actual people really say things like your comment and believe them.
Yo, what the heck
Let people be themselves, she’s far from the only one who doesn’t want to waste their time
Jesus christ what you said is disgusting. Be better.
I’m male (women have it stronger) and experienced it myself, family gets more important over 30. Be less drama. Whatever.
Or maybe you could stop being a dick and respect people’s decisions.
The point of progeny is to increase the likelihood of your species survival. Today, the opposite is true. I’d call it luck.
I wonder if decreased reproduction in developed countries is the result of evolutionary forces from long ago. It seems like most animals are the opposite, and have more offspring during times of plenty.
Not species, genes. Species is a socially constructed concept. Selection operates at the level of individual genes which are the fundamental transmissible units.
Bacteria even carry out horizontal gene transfer via the exchange of plasmids between cells!
Baby, thanks to CRISPR, humans can too.
It’s weird why people call it a line, we’re just a leaf on a big ass tree
What if my tree isnt a tree and it has a cycle?
Then your family might just need therapy
I’m pretty sure all bloodlines have circles.
Well, I suppose if you go backwards your family tree has circles. But nowadays incest isn’t particularly common is it?
Most cultures frown uppn it but cousin marriage is very common is some parts of the world. There is a great wikipedia article on Incest.
But I was really talking about the former. The likelihood that not a single crossing has happened since the beginning of like is very small.
Trees can have cycles, but trees will always be Trees.
Primogeniture.
What is this, Crusader Kings?
You’d better start believing in historical trends. You’re in one. 👻
I’m glad I’m not in North Korea
Each line is a tree in a forest.
The only water in the forest is the river.
That one I don’t quite understand
Humans and trees both have lineages, leaves do not because leaves do not reproduce.
good riddance in my case
Ok, but what’s up with the apathy though?
what do you mean?
You literally said
good riddance
Which implies something negative.
Edit: I misunderstood your comment. Disregard. I am dumb.
I went on a little thought journey about this, partly because I’ll never have my own biological kids (snip snip). Ironically, I have a family tree that is traced back to the 1500s. My branch will just stop. I’m OK with that - this is my choice. There will be a lot of branches that just stop because of unfortunate deaths. The difference is whether it’s by choice or not, maybe?(?) Is this a bad thing anyway?
no way a nananiji idolposting on lemmy 😳😳
That is literally the funniest ASCII drawing I’ve seen.
I can’t make sense of how I’m supposed to see it ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
It’s a little dude lying down the _ and 」are his arms

LMAO, thanks so much!
I think it’s someone lying on their side? Like a sexy lying down pose with a leg and an arm stretched out.
What is the close parentheses?
Their rounded top and bottom of body?
I do the same thing, but I regard it as carrying on the proud tradition of kings, like Charles IV and Richard III, who have done this before me.
If your ancestry was a tree, what people think of when saying this is the tree getting uprooted, when it really is more akin to cutting off a two, perhaps three growing seasons old branch.
Which is to say that not even in this teeny tiny way do you matter.They probably still have a few branches of the family tree growing.
I always find that funny, people only think about their branch but I’m looking at my family tree and even though my branch stops, my cousins have kids, the family lives on, so who cares about the bloodline bullshit?
