  • I know this was a rhetorical question, but here’s a real answer anyways.

    Evolution isn’t smart, and it doesn’t care if something kills you, so long as you can pass the genes on first. Boobs are for feeding babies. If more mammary tissue mean you can make more milk for your baby, you’ve got a better chance of your child surviving infancy and passing that gene on.

    Also, boobs are a large percent fat, which functions as both nutritional and hydration reserves that are used during pregnancy/breastfeeding to ensure the baby survives and passes the gene on.

    For better or for worse, my back pain doesn’t make me any less sexy.

    Time is a metaphor, a human construct that we’ve devised to explain how the quantum entanglements affect us. It’s like how we use color as a way to describe how we sense a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with our optical organs. Neither time nor color are “real” in the sense that you can find a physical atom of it, but still useful language to describe how we interact with the world around us.

    The culture wars have reached the fediverse, and it’s making me less happy to be here. I don’t want to hang out in places where people use slurs and insults, even if they’re not aimed at me. I’m seeing more casual misogyny/misandry, more casual use of the r**** slur, more perfectionist gatekeeping, more assumptions, and just less good-faith comments in general.

    I’d advertise, but I’m starting to look for an alternative to lemmy.
