This fucking guy
Fysa, humans are born with moveable skull plates to accommodate brain growth and development after birth. You learn a lot being an active participant in parenting children.
Also brain size correlates weakly with intelligence scores, but is not a major factor.
To be clear, Elon is the idiot in that regard here, and the person he’s replying to, not myself. I understand that perfectly well. If you’re providing this info to the bigots on lemmy at large, good on you then.
And it’s not so much “moveable bones” as it is bones that are still soft and connected by soft fascial sutures called fontanels that harden over time, most likely to make birth easier and to accommodate significant growth for the first stages.
Agreed. Yes, this isn’t aimed at you just anyone who may not know about the subject.
Incorrect, my mother has the largest vagina. Therefore I am the smartest.
So… Can we collectively infer from that sentence you were birthed or dropped?
Giraffes do the last and it works but unless you present your Giraffe Card, I’m going to default count you as human and being dropped head first into the floor is not good for human newborns.
But if you are indeed a giraffe: how do you type?
From my understanding, the ratio of brain size to body size is a much better way of getting a general estimate for intelligence.
Wow, at least it’s better than the “people who had c-sections never gave birth so are not mothers” belief. Still a ridiculous belief, though.
… what?
That’s actually an argument circulating around out there? Just when I thought the debate couldn’t get any lower.
Yeah, as per usual it’s hard to tell when people are just trolling or if it’s just completely made up, but I’ve seen it from screenshots of some particularly deranged “moms only” Facebook groups.
All I can do is shake my head at it. Someone carries a child to term, and opts for a manner of birth that was probably safer for their situation, and so the conservative party of family values decides they aren’t technically a mother. That is as dumb and insulting as it can get.
Yeah this is something that has been circulating right wing women’s groups, conservative mom fora, trad wife fora, trad/conservative family channels on YT, etc.
Not sure if it is actually better. They both seem to be equally horrible and incredibly stupid takes to me.
This instantly made my uterus shrivel up like a dried raisin.
Phrenology again?
