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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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 11 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 11 months ago (6 children)

… what?

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

MacDuff's mum will be fuckin ragin when she hears

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] yata 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 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] 11 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

I... I can't even begin.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I’m 14 and just had this shower thought?
