A secret best left unknown

GPT4, Why do balls have a stitch line?:
Chatgpt: Balls typically have a stitch line or a seam due to the way they are manufactured. Here's a brief explanation for a couple of common types of balls:
Baseballs: A baseball is made of a rubber or cork center, wrapped in yarn, and covered with two pieces of white leather stitched together. The stitching is not just for aesthetic purposes. It also affects the ball's aerodynamics. The raised seams can cause the ball to move in various ways depending on how it's thrown.
Basketballs: Traditional basketballs have eight panels stitched together. The lines where these panels meet are the "stitch lines." They offer grip to players and give the ball its characteristic look.
Soccer balls (footballs in many parts of the world): Traditional soccer balls were made of 32 panels: 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. These panels were stitched together to form the ball, creating the stitch lines. This design makes the ball roughly spherical and ensures that it bounces and rolls uniformly. Modern soccer balls have varying designs but still require seams to join the panels.
Tennis balls: The felt covering of a tennis ball is made up of two pieces, which are stitched together. This creates the familiar "figure-8" stitch pattern on the ball.
In many cases, the stitch line or seam is a byproduct of the manufacturing process, as multiple pieces of material are joined together to create a spherical shape. In some sports, like baseball, the seam also plays a functional role in the game.
Chatgpt is a sweet summer child confirmed.. After some mild redirecting:
Chatgpt: Ah, I see what you're getting at. The "stitch line" on human testicles, commonly referred to as the "scrotal raphe," is a line or ridge that runs from the anus, up the middle of the scrotum, and ends at the base of the penis.
It's a result of human embryonic development. During the early stages of development in the womb, male and female embryos have a similar undifferentiated structure, which includes a genital swelling and a groove called the urogenital groove. In males, under the influence of testosterone, this groove closes to form the scrotum and the penis. The scrotal raphe is essentially the remnant or "scar" of where the two halves fused together.

  Welp, it's official. AI has finally written an ode that moved my soul. Beautiful.
- This was great but not as good as the reply, sorry

I ironed mine out 🤭
- I thought you were supposed to sand it down. I don't know, it's too complicated so I'm returning all of the hardware and hoping to exchange it.
  
  wait I can exchange it? where?
- I pierced mine to make sure it stays closed
  
  good for u
- Ouch 😳

Why does it?
- you transitioned in the womb
  
  As a kid I just assumed I’d been born intersex and they’d “corrected” it. It was fun learning it wasn’t the case and then later learning that actually I was intersex and no they’d never noticed because I was only barely so and completely unrelated to that
- That's your perineal raphe. In the womb everyone starts female, and that particular feature either becomes the scrotal/penile raphe (the scrotum seam) or the labia majora.
  
  Because everyone starts off female that's the reason why men nipples to.
  Edit: I know what I said
- It's called the Perineal Raphe. It's the result of the urogenital folds fusing during the development of an embryo.
