I love philosophy because it’s about being annoying

[crowjane]

NOTHING can keep me away from my phone more than when I open instagram and I see a story that it’s someone’s birthday, but it’s someone I hardly speak with and only barely know but I’m not friends with but I think it would be rude to not wish a happy birthday to, and at the same time I think it would be creepy TO wish happy birthday. I just throw my phone across the room, go do something else and don’t open IG until the next day.

Digital detox apps, keep up.

Whats with cellphones. I thought, only ten more pages to finish this chapter, but I have to be ready to leave in 10 minutes. So I did the sensible thing of scrolling through instagram for 20 minutes.

The male seahorse carrying babies situation makes me so confused, like how do you know they are male? Isn't an animal of a certain species considered female by bearing the eggs and male for fertilizing them? Do they have an XY chromosome? I really want to know please I've been thinking about it for years

It's a bit artificial - but then again, all male-female dichotomies where sexual dimorphism isn't actually huge are a bit artificial. Nature laughs at our classifications, always remember that.

Anyway - most animals, including seahorses, have a partner that makes fewer, but bigger, gametes (reproductive cells). That one's the female. The male makes smaller gametes that are more numerous. And we call that "eggs" and "sperm," and the "sperm" will "fertilise" the "eggs" and we pretend it's always the same mechanism but that's always complete approximations and not actually always the same when we use the same terms, because nature is weird as fuck. That said, for seahorses it works kinda well. The eggs and sperm will meet after the female is done ovipositing. If you go with a definition that says "the male is the parent that puts something in the other parent," then you need to reverse the roles, and figure out a solution for when the gametes meet outside both parents (see: most fish) but no one can absolutely tell you "no that's wrong" because no matter the definition you go with, nature will find a way to make it not work sometimes. There is no perfect solution, and the "small gametes/big gametes" one is absolutely not perfect.

This is fascinating, thank you!
