How is mainstream media?

A child born into winter will experience summer soon enough unless something bad happens. I’m certainly not an expert on babies and their development, but I’d think it matters little. A more interesting topic might be the pregnancy - fetal development sets the course for the next few years or even decades, I’m thinking about epigenetic imprinting. That would certainly have an influence, but since we do not have mating seasons (well, spring and december maybe) I’d wager the impact is comparably low.

Well, alright thanks for clearing that up. I understand the meme now, although I still struggle with the … unusual use of terminology. But yes, it very much makes sense to show teosinte then!

EDIT: OP cleared up the confusion, thanks for that I … what? This is such a gigantic leap, going from Teosinte to modern day mazie and calling it a GMO, what is it even suppoed to mean? We shouldn’t use domesticated plant? I am seriously scared by the lack of what I consider to be general knowledge of breeding in the general population, have people stopped going to school in the last 5 years?

People did WHAT?

I’m guessing it’s a derogatory term for the female reproductive organ?

I misread that as Clothes and was going to note that they will deal with minors …

Congratulations, they disagree. Have fun paying hospital bills then and pray you never get into an accident.

I see, an enlightened American (or not? I can hardly ever tell tbh). There are two very good models of insurance that I can think of right now:

1. Obligatory, with fees based on income. Esp. health insurance.
2. A situation where you absolutely cannot afford losing the object in question. An individual may never recover, but it is an extremely rare occurence, e.g. your house burns down. The cost spread over many shoulders is insignificant, but it ensures that no one is left with nothing. A third possibility are investment strategies, where an insurance uses the money to future-proof a system or sector - the incentive for good performance is that they have to pay for e.g. flood damaging if they don’t build proper dikes. But that can easily be done without insurance, by governance.

Ye, they would probably bow down to vomit. Would be interesting to see how giraffes do it.

If a German footballer made the Nazi-Salute after scoring a goal in Poland and Germany endorsed the movement the footballer is a member of, would you still think so?

More like looking at stuff near to our eyes all the time - e.g. a screen

… I disagree. It is funny due to the contrast in “behaviour” (these are cells, not animals) which is shown via the contrasting images (don’t worry, I’m not going to mansplain the term “meme” ). I daresay that if you can easily turn the joke around, it doesn’t rely on stereotypes. Since this is the case (make a meme about asymmetric division in oocytogenesis compared to equal division in spermatogenesis) it’s simply funny. I suggest more calm.

I’ll bite: How is this related to gender?

I’m a simple life scientist: I see DNA, I upvote.
