I think they were just multicellular organisms that got rid of the shit by diffusion from the cells themselves, without a specific path for the shit to go down like a butthole.
We’re talking wayyyy before complex organisms existed
Be warned, that you should watch this one without much research. If you like the first episode, you’ll love the show.
One of the very few shows where each and every season is consistently great. Super funny and had a satisfying ending, instead of the usual clifferhanger-because-of-cancellation ending
Normally I’d agree with that advice, but it took me the whole first season to get hooked by the show. After about 5 episodes I was ready to call it quits, but my partner who had seen it told me to keep watching, and they were right! Loved every minute of it from then on.
Which really makes you think, shouldn’t longer-penised individuals have an reproductive advantage over short-penised people? Longer penises can scoop deeper in the couchhole to get out other people’s jizz. Why hasn’t the human race evolved such that every male had 20 cm (7.8 in) penises?
Why hasn’t humanity evolved such that every male had 20 cm (7.8 in) penises?
Oh dear, no one tell him he got the short end of the genes…
Joking, of course.
I would assume penises didn’t need to evolve to be that long on average since vaginas are not that deep on average? So there would only be so much depth to reach in the first place. Possibly girth would also affect it - having a long noodle dick might mean no matter how deep you go, the penis might not be wide enough to effectively “scoop” it out.
Again assuming, but after a certain length (bottoming out), width would become more important
The longer the penis, the larger the fraction of women who will find sex with that person painful, and at some point the reproductive advantage of scooping out others’ semen will be nullified due to the fact that no woman wants to sleep with you. I think I read that four inches is the length that most women find comfortable, but I don’t remember where I read it.
I’m pretty sure I read 8 as the average preferred length, but I’m sure we’re both biased in what we read so I have no idea really. All I have is personal experience that tell me it’s well above 4, but also everyone I’ve slept with has been generally aware of my size beforehand, so it’s got a large self-selection bias.
Well, yeah, whatever floats your boat, gets you going, rings your bell, dings your dong, pops your champagne cork, whatever bangs your drum, tinkles your tonkles, whatever gets into your groove and whatever, quite frankly, bedazzles your vajazzle or spurts your spunk. That kind of satisfaction. Just so we’re clear. Hope that answers your question.
Turns out there may be more to this evolution thing than 'first past the post'. Non-reproductive members of a species can help other members of the species to survive.
Essentially it's not about getting "my genes" into the next generation, it's really about getting the genes of "my species" into the next generation, and beyond.
Female human here. I’ve honestly always just read it literally, a person having sex second in a multiple partner scenario, and it being sloppy down there for all involved. There’s just as much guy in the statement as there is girl, doesn’t seem all that problematic to me.
We are animals, monogamy is not a part of humanity like it is in penguins.
Our penises reshaped over millenia of orgies just to get all the other guys cum out. We are sluts of the animal world, like rabbits
It implies that there were enough guys getting sloppy seconds for dick shape to give a reproductive advantage.
While it could have been from a lot of free love in the ancient past, I suspect it’s more likely much darker than that and the evolution of cuckolds is intertwined.
Does this mean that due to undersampling, we can only assume we have found the biggest fossils/skeletons/remains, and cannot know how big they could really get?
I think it’s the opposite. They’re saying that physical limitations on size exist (bone strength, lung capacity) even if you only found one skeleton. So significantly bigger TRexs aren’t possible.
That’s not a link to the actual paper. The King of the Hill meme above claims that the actual paper says that physical limits apply to maximum size. This implies the article misrepresents the research paper.
I think instead it’s just claiming that all fossils have the same implied increase in maximum size implied by the paper, not just T rex.
I’m guessing the illiterate paleo fans were excited that maybe T rex was king of the dinosaurs again, but the logic fails if all the dinosaurs get bigger max sizes…
If that were the case then the first sentence wouldn’t claim that there are physical limits.
I dug up the paper.
“Biomechanical and ecological limitations notwithstanding, we estimate that the absolute largest T. rex may have been 70% more massive than the currently largest known specimen (~15,000 vs. ~8800 kg).”
Make sure to click on “show all” button (or equivalent button of your app) once in the messages tab. Once visible, mark them as read so they won’t remain as “active” unread message.
I had this behavior with my app that was considering the messages read (so hidding them by default when going to the messages tab) once i opened it while not marking it read on lemmy side (hence the 7 unread messages displayed)
There is a list on this page of compatible services. If you don’t want to use one more service (DNS), you can use a domain registrar with an API (like porkbun) and find online tools that work with that.

Yes I use no-ip but have to confirm the domain name every month or so and cant use my own domain on the free tier. (Maybe im just being cheap) - Also I haven’t been able to figure out how I would use / get SSL certificates.
