thievesguilding replied to your post: what the fuck is the evolutionary benefit for...

a more succinct version of what nat said: periods are the result of an evolutionary arms race between fetuses and uteruses where fetuses want to survive and uteruses want to not waste resources on nonviable fetuses, insofar as fetuses and uteruses want anything; humans evolved over time in such a way that our fetuses dug in deeper and so uteruses similarly evolved to jettison the least viable embryos even more ruthlessly.

“ so periods are really just the last line of defense against wasting nutrients and time on an embryo that won't survive. also if anyone tells you the placenta is meant to provide a safe and nourishing environment for embryos to grow they're wrong, we have the placentas we have because they make it HARD for embryos go grow. only the strongest survive. its like an embryo thunderdome “ RTGYHTU yeah that’s what i read tbh. Anyway i think it’s dumb and stupid and this is why im going to yeet my uterus into the goddamn sun

Trying to build up a proper story for this fella

so i tried balut finally and like

idk if it’s just not a thing in the visayas, but my family doesn’t really eat balut and my dad had never tried it before but we found some at the filipino supermarket in chicago, and i was like “here’s my chance” because trying new and bizarre food is My Thing

and let me tell you something. first of all, i’ve never been scared to put a food in my mouth. never. but i took one look at that thing and realized i had met my match. to be fair, there isn’t a lot of opportunity to try food in kentucky that’s much stranger than deer jerky. by the local standards, i’ve eaten some weird stuff -- squid, frog, pig intestines, etc. i thought, what’s so strange about a boiled egg?

a lot of things. for one, it looks like a god damn homunculus. and the weirdest part is, like, the first time i ate one it tasted okay? it was like a tiny, soft chicken boiled inside of an egg. and then like?? i thought i’d have one with some instant noodles just now and i actually bothered to look up how veteran balut-eaters eat theirs, and mixed in a little vinegar and salt. and listen, the broth tastes like semen. the yolk tastes like jellied semen, and the little fetus inside had started to form a distinguishable head and body and the entire thing tasted. like. semen.

which is probably why my dad was entirely repelled and why i kept trying to muscle it down. but i gave up.

anyway, now i’m a vegetarian,
