I like how this flips the narrative from: "I need to make my impact on the future by leaving a child!" to "I can also make an impact on the future by deciding not to leave a child here!"
Thank you for your service
It's weird why people call it a line, we're just a leaf on a big ass tree
What if my tree isnt a tree and it has a cycle?
Then your family might just need therapy
I'm pretty sure all bloodlines have circles.
Well, I suppose if you go backwards your family tree has circles. But nowadays incest isn't particularly common is it?
Trees can have cycles, but trees will always be Trees.
Each line is a tree in a forest.
The only water in the forest is the river.

Eh… My brother has two sons. No need for me to add more.
The point of progeny is to increase the likelihood of your species survival. Today, the opposite is true. I'd call it luck.
Not species, genes. Species is a socially constructed concept. Selection operates at the level of individual genes which are the fundamental transmissible units.
Bacteria even carry out horizontal gene transfer via the exchange of plasmids between cells!
Baby, thanks to CRISPR, humans can too.
I wonder if decreased reproduction in developed countries is the result of evolutionary forces from long ago. It seems like most animals are the opposite, and have more offspring during times of plenty.
I looked it up and it seems that there are other Homo sapiens sapiens, so it was never up to me after all.
I went on a little thought journey about this, partly because I'll never have my own biological kids (snip snip). Ironically, I have a family tree that is traced back to the 1500s. My branch will just stop. I'm OK with that - this is my choice. There will be a lot of branches that just stop because of unfortunate deaths. The difference is whether it's by choice or not, maybe?(?) Is this a bad thing anyway?
That is literally the funniest ASCII drawing I've seen.
I can't make sense of how I'm supposed to see it ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
It’s a little dude lying down the _ and 」are his arms

Ohhhh I thought it was a baby bird (little wings sticking out) with one weird eye and one winking eye.
LMAO, thanks so much!
I think it's someone lying on their side? Like a sexy lying down pose with a leg and an arm stretched out.
What is the close parentheses?
Their rounded top and bottom of body?
OP: meh.
Yeah: Your ancestors are all watching, cheering you on, saying:
“We NEVER wanted children. FINALLY one of us broke the cycle!!”
Them: "we were just horny fucks with no condoms"
Me, gay: "watch me solve that problem with this one weird trick!"
