My wife gave birth like this, right on the living room floor and my daughter came out in an egg. The whole thing happened so quick, the midwife only arrived a few moments before she dropped, lucky as she needed to cut the egg open and get my daughter out.
Meanwhile I was lying on the sofa with a broken leg trying to stop our cat from eating everything.

This would make an amazing Renaissance painting

I like how you describe her as "in an egg" lol. She was still inside the amniotic sac. The majority of the time, the amniotic sac ruptures prior to delivering the baby. The baby is delivered first and then the placenta follows soon after. But when both are delivered together with the sac entirely intact, it has a special name called an "en caul" birth.

Legend has it that babies born en caul, or "in their waters" will never drown at sea.

Can one say your daughter's a cute chick? Does she still squawk from time to time?

Off-topic, but do you put that license link in your comments as a way to say that you don't agree with them being scrapped for commercial usage?

The link is giving me a "couldnt_find_post" error

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. I don't know why but I also can't open it, shared it using Jerboa. But the reason is basically AI scraping and that AI/LLM's can spit out their training data so that notice could show up there. They provided this article: https://stackdiary.com/chatgpts-training-data-can-be-exposed-via-a-divergence-attack/

Hammer, meet head of nail 👍 Specifically commercial AI usage.
