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.

Incorrect, my mother has the largest vagina. Therefore I am the smartest.

Calm down Dwight

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?

Obsessing over brain size and the hip width of women is a big eugenics / white supremacist thing... the kind of thing the nazis were really into... what a surprise to see Musk spouting this kind of bullshit

There's the issue, like with most of his ventures, Elon outsources all the actual work.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I thought that was the case, but thank you for clarifying.

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.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

… what?

That’s actually an argument circulating around out there? Just when I thought the debate couldn’t get any lower.

MacDuff's mum will be fuckin ragin when she hears

[-] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

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.

C-section babies can say they were considered important enough to be extracted. (with implications to covert operations)

[-] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Not sure if it is actually better. They both seem to be equally horrible and incredibly stupid takes to me.

That was a trainwreck to read. In slow motion.

Is this him trying to bury this in the search engine results?

In a new Musk biography by Walter Isaacson, which goes into detail about Musk’s life, his relationships, and his children, Grimes reveals that Musk took a photo of her while she was having a C-section for their baby X Æ A-Xii and circulated it without her consent.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

More likely just him being stupid and bringing it up in search results more due to some Streisand effect. But your theory is also entirely plausible with him.

Phrenology again?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

My god, who let him have the controls?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Oh great, he's reached the phrenology stage... 💩

[-] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

It really blows my mind how dumb this guy is. Like holy shit

[-] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

I... I can't even begin.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

"Historically" you say?... jfc this guy is a fucking idiot.

I’m 14 and just had this shower thought?

Quality nonsense with a grain, the merest speck, of truth.
