people today with access to more raw information than any other period: the earth is flat
german artilleryman in 1916, who barely washes his own ass: I need to account for the curvature and rotation of the earth when plotting my firing plans
Eratosthenes, an Egyptian, in 3750 BC when fucking mammoths hadnāt even gone extinct yet: Oh hey I can use these two obelisks to calculate the earthās entire circumference based on the length of their shadows and the Earthās curvature. Neat.
Erastothenes was born in 276 BCE.
The last mammoth died on in island off the northeast coast of Siberia in ~1650BCE.
And as Iāve pointed out previously, the Coriolis effect was known even earlier than that, although it may not have become important to gunnery.
I find it utterly bizarre that humans saw these megafauna.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/02/science/woolly-mammoth-extinct-genetics.html ā In fact, the Wrangel mammothās genome carried so many detrimental mutations that the population had suffered a āgenomic meltdown,ā according to Rebekah Rogers and Montgomery Slatkin of the University of California, Berkeley. Analyzing the Swedish teamās mammoth data at the gene level, they found that many genes had accumulated mutations that would have halted synthesis of proteins before they were complete, making the proteins useless, they report Thursday in PLOS Genetics. ā That āgenomic meltdownā is one of the reasons feminism is so potentially lethal, because they keep pushing for asexual reproduction, or trying to combine ovaries, when the most likely outcome is a population running about - unable to reproduce sexually since the whole āmale genocideā bit - with incredibly damaged chromosomes. Sex exists for a reason, and no, ābecause itās funā is not the answer, sorry. It works better than reproduction otherwise. Which is why every complex species uses it. Intelligence requires a lot of things to be working correctly, and if you have an all female species that is over the tipping point of idiocy, then there wonāt be enough people to maintain the technology to continue to reproduce. And humans will go the way of the Wrangel beasties. Fortunately, feminists are horribly lazy bastards, so i doubt theyāll continue to get their way, but it does made for a decent plot for a dystopian fictionā¦
What ā¦the fuck?
That went off the rails so suddenly like I thought I was just gonna learn something cool about mammoths and then WHOA.
I scrolled past this thinkingĀ āthe earth is round, yes, something, something, mammothsā¦āĀ
But the second time it came past I sawĀ
That āgenomic meltdownā is one of the reasons feminism is so potentially lethal
And I think I got whiplash from that pivot. I also laughed so hard that I couldnāt breathe.Ā
Point and laugh at the MRA, kids.Ā
How ⦠does he think ⦠mammoths reproduced ā¦
Never mind, not sure I want to know.
reblog to support Mammoth Feminism,
ignore for G E N O M I C M E L T D O W N
I here af for my Feminist Mammoth ladies, bring the species back!
DOWN WITH GENOMIC MELTDOWN
I⦠what exactly is combining ovaries supposed to achieve? 400 lazy feminist babies at the same time?
Shhhhā¦you werenāt supposed to tell anyone.
FEMINISM KILLED THE MAMMOTHS
the world is only flat because it was trampled by feminist mammoths
reblog if you support your army of genetically-melted feminist mammoths that trampled the earth flat
Donāt anybody tell this guy about that species of lizard where there are only females it might break him
My head hurts after reading that.Ā
Iām sending this post to @wehuntedthemammoth
Why would you hurt me like this?
That āgenomic meltdownā is one of the reasons feminism is so potentially lethal, because they keep pushing for asexual reproduction, or trying to combine ovaries, when the most likely outcome is a population running about - unable to reproduce sexually since the whole āmale genocideā bit - with incredibly damaged chromosomes.
I teach genetics, I donāt deserve to have to explain why this is so wrong and yet. Oh my god.Ā
Muellerās Ratchetāwhich is what this chucklefuck is talking about, the reason that purely asexual lineages donāt last well in evolutionary timeādoes not apply to feminism. The hypothetical scenario of merging two eggs to create a baby? Yeah, uh, thatās fucking sex in this context, whether or not it involves a male.Ā
There are zero feminists pushing for parthenogenesis for humans, mostly because the whole thing is basically impossible for mammals as a result of mammalian investment in genomic imprinting. Among other things. Itās the sort of thing that only works okay in species that donāt control their embryonic development anywhere near as closely as your basic placental mammal does, because it relies on a certain amount of flexibility about sex determination and placental mammals are kind of weird about that.
Even if there were, Muellerās Ratchet only applies if you never ever sexually reproduce and reshuffle alleles, like the parthenogenetic whiptail lizards mentioned upthread. If we have the technology to induce parthenogenesis in a human woman, we have the technology to reshuffle some alleles now and again. Muellerās Ratchet kind of presupposes that going in and manually editing a genome isnāt a fucking option, shitwad!Ā
Furthermore, Muellerās Ratchet is specifically a population genetics phenomenon that refers to the accumulation of deleterious mutations within an asexually/clonally reproducing lineage. It has dick fuck all to do with chromosomes.
Muellerās Ratchet exists in order to explain why asexually reproducing lineages havenāt overrun the world, because frankly in the short term these lineages usually do way better than their conspecific, obligate sexually reproducing partners do. Furthermore, itās really fucking commonĀ to see species that reproduce sexually at some times and asexually at other times, depending on context and whoās available, and thatās in and of itself a complex fucking phenotype you species-centric cortically starved ignorant dillweed
all of this is completely fucking irrelevant to the mammoth example thatĀ @brett-caton there chose to bring up, by the way, because mammoths donāt fucking reproduce asexually eitherĀ
as you would know if youād bothered to read the paper, you self-satisfied jellyfish fellator
or even the pop science article you cited yourselfĀ
which clearly and cogently explains that the fucking mammoths died of being inbred as all shit, much like yourself
the laziness inherent in jumbling all this pig-ignorant, overconfident and understudied bullshit together and claiming itās a solidly built house rather than a crumbling, confused pile of enraged starfish is the final straw
you canāt even be arsed to read an article that you dug up and cited yourself, you shithugger
how are feministsĀ supposed to be the lazy ones?Ā
you obviate your own thesis with your own intellectual failure, you pathetic snailsucking weed in the garden of knowledge
I reblogged this before but I have to do so again because of the above takedown with its glorious insults. Also, itās always fun to point and laugh at MRAs.
āMuellerās Ratchet kind of presupposes that going in and manually editing a genome isnāt a fucking option, shitwad!ā and āyou pathetic snailsucking weed in the garden of knowledgeā are honestly awe-inspiring and Iām fucking blessed I read them today
Itās been long enough since I last saw this post that Iād nearly forgotten and it still fucking hit me like a goddamn freight train.
You self-satisfied jellyfish fellator, you pathetic snailsucking weed in the garden of knowledge
Fucking poetry there, Shakespeare would be hard pressed to improve upon these lines.
@shitpostsampler The snailsucking jellyfish fellator quote is golden.
āoh hey thatās funny :D man, flat-earth sure is one of the stranger conspiracy theories isnāt it. ooh who was Eratosthenes? i should look him up! and now weāre talking about mammoths,Ā cool , i love mam
āgenomic meltdownā is one of the reasons feminism is so potentially lethal, because they keep pushing for asexual reproduction, or trying to combine ovaries
āa crumbling, confused pile of enraged starfishā
now this⦠this is a post on tumblr dot com
iām still sad Eratosthenes missed out on the mammoths by like >< much
me, early in this post: this person being completely wrong on when Eratosthenes lived is going to be as wrong as it gets, right?
me, later in this post: what the FUCK
this is basically exactly my experience of running into people who are telling me that āfeminism is bad, actuallyā in general. itās hard to even dignify it by calling it a straw man.

when two musicians sing into the same microphone and lean in very close to each other⦠like omg are you guys gonna kiss now to relieve the homoerotic tension?š³
THIS IS NOT ABOUT ONE DIRECTION I DONāT KNOW WHO THIS āHARRYā PERSON IS GO WATCH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND CLARENCE CLEMONS KISS ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
op is the only valid person iāve ever met. everyone else needs to come to the light
Okay, but this is really important: Bruce Springsteen occupied this really weird place in music history. His songs were all from this pessimistic, nihilistic view of an America that had let him down:
Just like the anti-Vietnam War protest songs that we associate with the 1960s, or the early nihilism that spawned punk music in the 1970s. But he didnāt *sound* like a punk anarchist; he sounded like a country rock singer. When he released Born in the U.S.A. people completely misinterpreted (or possibly ignored) the lyrics in favor of the tone of the music.
Politicians used his music to promote their āMurica Yes! brand, and he had to literally explain that that was not what he was about. Heās over here asking when weāre going to have jobs and heathcare, not stanning the politicians who werenāt helping the people.
It was also kind of a big deal that he had an integrated band, because even as late as the 1980s music was still kind of segregated and MTV was straight up racist. They refused to play and promote black artists and then claimed that were no black artists in the first place. Michael Jacksonās record company had to threaten a boycott of their white artists to get MTV to play his Thriller video.
Plus, the first black/white interracial kiss on TV was in 1968 (OG Star Trek). Also it took us until the 70s to get sympathetic gay characters on screen, and the 90s to get gay characters to kiss onscreen. And all of those firsts were met with outrage.
So keep that in mind when you see Bruce Springsteen not just playing with an interracial band, but engaging in an interracial, gay kiss on stage repeatedly.
Passages from American Popular Music by Larry Starr and Christopher Waterman
I used to think that Bruce and Clarence kissing onstage was exuberance, showmanship, and telling racist homophobes to fuck off. Like, they picked up a certain kind of audience and went āRacist homophobes? Not in our house!ā And started the kissing then but then I actually looked it up and
https://www.gq.com/story/this-fucked-me-up-bruce-springsteen-singing-about-clarence-clemons
It was a story where⦠we remade the city. We remade the city, shaping it into the kind of place where our friendship and our love for one another wouldnāt have been such an exceptional thing. - Bruce Springsteen
It wasnāt about showmanship or rejecting bigots or anything it was just. Damn right that was one of the loves of his life and damn right he was going to kiss him onstage
It gets me a little that Bruce has had a divorce, that heās been married twice, but he loved Clarence for the rest of Clarenceās life and will presumably love him the rest of his own
Clemons said in one interview. āBruce and I looked at each other and didnāt say anything, we just knew. We knew we were the missing links in each otherās lives. He was what Iād been searching for.ā In another version of the story, Clemons says āHe looked at me, and I looked at him, and we fell in love.ā
Iām having some emotions about it!
āHe was elemental in my life,ā Springsteen adds, āand losing him was like losing the rain.ā
Not just! I love you pure and deep and true but! I am going to love you like that in front of the whole damn world!
We have fewer narratives about taking risks and making statements for platonic love rather than romantic and supposedly it would be easier to downplay this onstage than romance and! They refused! They fucking refused! In front of hundreds of thousands of people, over the course of years! In the spotlight, in word and deed, I love you!
God Iām not okay about it
Now Iām mad that this is not among any of the things I was ever told about this artist.
I knew about this in general (& via all those fabulous photos), but this just adds even more beautiful context <3
Just to add to the pile: this was the cover of Springsteenās break-through album Born to Run, in 1975:
I mean, will you LOOK at this:
This was the pic chosen for the album cover from an extensive photoshoot, too. A few others:
Thereās a lot more online if you search. Theyāre all pretty amazing. But the photographer is right, the one chosen for the album cover just pops.
