Chomping at the bit is horsefucking, not dogfucking Bobby Digital posted:I vaguely remember hearing a podcast episode where the hosts and their guess discussed a species of fish that did this is also hermaphroditic so either could get pregnant. As you say that's actually flatworms but I'm going to use this is as a flimsy excuse to talk about fish loving. Fun fact: a whole bunch of reef fish are sequential hermaphrodites, so they're one sex when they're small and another once they get big enough to defend a territory. Which sex comes first varies by group of fish; some are protogynous (female first) while others are protandrous (male first). And that only scratches the surface of how weird fish loving can get, because in some of those species that are protogynous there actually are some individuals that are male first but LOOK like females, and sneak in a little jizz around the edges by pretending to be female but mating with the actual females when the big territorial males aren't looking. And what's even weirder is that some of those species don't even have genetic sex determination; even when they first metamorphose from larvae into juvenile fish they're sorta looking around at the local opportunities and deciding whether they're better off being male or female.

Slipper limpets mate in the ocean as a big stack of shells. The first one to settle down in the dirt turns female. Others that get attracted climb on and become male. They each reach down to the female with long tendril pensises. If the original female dies, the next one up in the stack takes over and becomes female. Eventually the pile has several females but they're always at the bottom of the stack. Weird sex poo poo is the norm in the animal kingdom. Conservatives should consider it a miracle that our species is as vanilla as it is.

Sea hares have male genitalia at one end of their bodies and female genitalia at the other, and will gently caress in long chains or rings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFAdts1xUMc Ain't no party like a sea hare party.

Then you get into weird things like anglerfish. The male anglerfish practically doesn't exist. He's tiny as hell and can't survive on his own for long. So he attaches to the female anglerfish and becomes a parasite. Over time he gets absorbed until basically only his sex organs remain. Oh, and a female anglerfish doesn't necessarily only have one male attached. Then there are seahorses. The males carry the babies. The males have a pouch that the eggs get dumped in that they then inseminate. Then some time later the male has this pouch full of baby seahorses that he just kind of sprays everywhere. Sexual reproduction is weird.

With humans it isn't just the actual reproduction part that is weird about sex. Just go take a look at GBS or EN, or hell, all of human history.

Karate Bastard posted:Plus we give birth to offspring about as featured as early access steam releases One of the new parent education videos the hospital made us watch when my son was born posited the idea that, like marsupials, human babies have a "fourth trimester" following physical birth where they're still not ready to do a drat thing but eat and sleep and poop. It checks out if you think about it.

One time we got this elderly lady in to ER and she had blown right the gently caress up. Her kidneys were swinging off of the fixtures and there was mucus dripping off the rhesus charts. Somehow her relatives had gotten wrapped up in her entrails and were rapidly choking to death as the nurse on call was attempting CPR and administering epinephrine. It was all we could do to get it all bandaged and ready for prep.

I've got a lot of friends in medicine and every single one of them is full of poo poo when it comes to stories. Hospitals are basically third grade in that a story gets repeated more and more extravagantly over and over again by different people and it always happened to them. I've heard the same story from three different people about the same guy that had a heart attack and drowned in his running shower and each one claimed it happened "on their shift." Maybe heart attack shower drownings are super common, but I doubt it. They're good gross stories, but just like prison stories you have to take them with a grain of salt and understand that it probably didn't happen to who is telling it and has morphed over time like an urban legend.

I mean I don’t like that story either but it’s not even the grossest or worst thing I’ve seen, and I’m a relatively young nurse with a narrow band of experience, having worked ICU only, and only for seven years or so. You see worse poo poo than that in the ED, I’m sure. Also I don’t know if it makes the story any less gruesome, but it’s not like his mom took huge chunks out of his arm, just bit him up pretty good. The upper half of him, which was apparently closest to/lying in the fridge, was the colder and better-preserved part; the legs were the really rotten bits. She’d have needed very strong teeth to get more than a few scrapes and smears. The cats got a lot more. Anyway if you read that thread filtered just to my posts you’re gonna miss a lot of the good poo poo. People like my verbal diarrhea, but that thread houses medical professionals of all walks, all of whom have Seen Some poo poo and have stories to tell, all of whom are pretty good at keeping each other honest.
