Thank god for that. Imagine the horror of human babies just clawing their way out when they were ready.

It would make a lot more sense if humans could just lay some sort of egg sac which we could keep in the garage for 9 months until it hatches. I honestly don't know why biologists and geneticists haven't dealt with this by now

Hideo Kojima did it

Want to hear something interesting? We actually developed this technology in the 80’s but it was outlawed due corporations lobbying the government because the hospitals were afraid of losing childbirth money, it was then vilified and called unnatural.

Tap for spoiler

Now want to hear something true?

Maybe because no one would green light testing of it

We are fine with torturing monkeys but the human babies whole facility would be burnt down and ceo crucified

Thanks for the mental images

Human babies ain't done cooking yet. That's why they're totally dependent when they're born.

Well to be fair it's because if the kid's brain box is allowed to get any bigger then the baby will need to exit chestburster style.

Check please!

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 months ago

the fact that modern technology actually made that possible is insane

Don't fish blast the eggs out of their arse, as if they've had 3 Vindaloos?

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 54 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's sharks. They fight to death and eat each other to survive.

[–] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 48 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I thought they only laid these hard eggs but apparently shark reproduction is pretty diverse ("Sandtigers" are the ones referred to in the comic).

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

Shark eggs are way cool! I totally forgot about those. Thanks for the link.

I did find it humorous that my client asked if I trusted sharktrust, too.

Hello, you must be British

I always saw great whites womb as the thunder dome but it's more a battle royal where the winner eats the rest.

Winner winner sharky dinner

Humans don't want to be born

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

But think of all the great things that await you; disappointments, anxiety, fear.. and you get to toil and sweat to help others get rich. It's fabulous.

Struggles of being the smartest spicies on the planet.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

As far as we know.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Isn't it kind of the same with all mammals, not just humans?

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

A lil Salt n Pepa goes a long way

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

What are the ones in the bottom left? I first assumed they were meant to be baby sharks but they have egg cases right?

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 months ago

This is amazing
