  • Nature is fucked up. Bedbugs mate via "traumatic insemination," where the male stabs the female in the gut with his reproductive organ and injects sperm straight into her body. And we all know about ducks...

    Crazy shit evolves.

  • That's gracious of you. Maybe too gracious

  • Yeah again I agree, but I also think once you have a kid you'll understand that early on they're largely going to be asking questions to which they have no hope of figuring out an answer, because they're just beginning to learn to read and know absolutely nothing about the world. Developing curiosity and investigative methods are part of it too, but genuinely only for what is within their grasp, otherwise it can become confusing and frustrating

  • You definitely want to encourage your child to learn independently and be curious, but it's important to remember they're starting from a place of knowing absolutely nothing.

    I had some friends who thought it was important to let their (very young) kids have agency and basically make all their own decisions, but they had no framework within which to know what choices to make. Their oldest is doing better now, but went through several years of pretty bad anxiety and tantrums, and I have no doubt their technique contributed to this.

    This is just an anecdote, I know, but I think kids need to have their questions answered flat out unless you know they either already know the answer or have the tools prepared to figure it out independently

  • "Dada, can you teach me how to read?"

    "Figure it out yourself."

  • Every place has language, tho 🤔

  • Yeah I've heard this one in the US quite a bit

  • I would truly believe each of these were cultural touchstones in Australia

  • In the US, fanny usually means butt, but only square soccer moms and teacher types would use the term. Fanny packs are a real thing though

  • You sound angry

  • Languages evolve. News at 9

  • Did Team USA ask Trump for this? Or did he just do it? It was a horrible look. I wanted so bad to support our team, but Trump ruined it, like he's ruined everything else

  • "It's coming right for us!"

  • So much sand. So very much

  • Sorry

    Jump
  • Insects are my homies

  • It's a Pepsi machine that only dispenses RC Cola

  • Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, obviously

  • Fireworks are fun tho

  • But there's quite an array of options between "fancy" and "t-shirt tucked into jean shorts."
