, yeet.
If you are alive, you can make more babies. /s
Damn, nature is really cruel.
Meanwhile there are animals that so rarely can find a mate that when they do they mate with the first mate they can find and then just fucking die.
Why did you have to call me out like that? /s
That’s why Bambi was about a deer not a quokka
It’s pragmatic; the mother can make more babies if she gets away. She doesn’t have to gloat so hard about it, though.
Hey man, fuck them kids. As Mr. Krabs once said, ‘what have children ever done for me?’
^certifies Spongebob philosopher
I don’t get what the fuss is about, I would do it too. And you can always make more later. /s
you can always make more later
It’s true, I just threw the equivalent population of a small country in the bin. Can’t say I’m not pleased with myself rn. 😌
Why? Let me tell ou something (compassionists hate this simple trick). As a relativist egoist it’s so much easier. Do what you want to do, morality is a spook anyway. Want to bin a baby? Go for it! Want to introduce new DNA sequences in fertile humans? Do what you feel like doing. As long as you can exploit the consequences for your own gain. Life is just so much easier this way. /s
I just want to poop cubes like a wombat. How close to that is science? How about mad science?

What’s the /s mean?

Oh ok. Then why is it there?
To mark an unserious comment
Odd, how is it unserious?
I’m sorry, do you have something you want to say? I’m trying to be friendly but I see you may have something else in mind
Kangaroos do the same. To be fair, evolutionarily it makes sense. (They only do it when they have literally no escape, and the choice is either both of them dying or the kid dying, soo…)
I bet in pre-history it happened more often than not in humans, and within recorded history has likely happened more times than anyone would admit.
eeeh our whole evolutionary niche is to be so social that we’ll form bonds with a literal rock, i can’t see the vast vast vast majority of mentally healthy humans managing to do it, more likely they’d try to gently throw the child away from the danger and sacrifice themselves.
I don’t think that would be the general case with humans under these kinds of circumstances. For most of history, women had many more children on average than we see in most of the world today. It was expected that many wouldn’t live past three years old in much of known, recorded history. I can only imagine in circumstances even more primitive than what we know of, something like this wouldn’t be as unthinkable as you’re describing.
Plenty of anecdotal stories of infant brothers and sisters not making it through hiding during the holocaust because of muffling their cries.
I don’t care enough to ruin my day by validating a of them though.
Okay, but I don’t think this was intentional suffocation of the kids. This seems much more as an attempt to get everyone to survive
I read that parents ate some kids during famines. Could be bullshit though, I don’t want to look.
oh you can validate them real easy: it’s anecdotal, thus false until actually proven.
That babies name? Its true. He grew up to be albert einstine
Yeah. We evolved to survive as a group. Not as individuals.
Kangaroos while they do sometimes form groups, are far far less social, and kids of dead parents aren’t adopted like what would happen in a human group.
Oh absolutely. We used to not give kids names until they were 3 years or so old. To not get attached.
Reminds me of a science fiction story.
Intelligent reptiles give birth to hundreds of eggs at a time. They eat most of the young live. The Queen of the planet offers the visiting Terrans a big bowlful of wriggling babies at a banquet.
That’s one John Oliver looking motherquokka
She gets an extra d12 damage with improvised weapons what do you expect
This just happened to me today. A chipmunk was startled by me as I opened a door, and bolted… Her tiny week old baby was left sprawling near my feet.
I used a hand warmer and some microfiber cloths to keep it warm, then thankfully the mother came back for it… But like… Wtf, Mom?
The baby can’t survive without its mom. But the mom can make new babies.
This motherquokka…
You motherquokka, I wanted to comment that!
