My wording was for comedic affect. I agree with you, but it's still shocking how recently we mapped this organ in its entirety.

There's a fun article about the history of the clitoris here, if anyone's after yet more reading on this.

The robotic Sojourner rover reached Mars on July 4, 1997 as part of the Mars Pathfinder mission.

Fuck me. That's ridiculous. That's 12 years before mankind found the clit.

Weight distribution and physical density.

We landed ~~two~~ three rovers on Mars before medical science discovered the clitoris.

The Mars Exploration Rovers landed on Mars in January 2004. (See the reply below for the earlier one I forgot!)

An accurate anatomical model of the clitoris was not created until 2005.

Lmao, we're just a bit more fucked than that.

Global fresh water demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030 and 90% of the earths topsoil is at risk of depletion by 2050.

Resource depletion is going to hit hard in the next few decades, billions of people will die.

And then they go and put another human being on the tracks.

Thank you for the context!

You all started saving up your mouldy bread yet? With enough mould some of it is going to have to be the right strain to get you better.

Nobody has ever thought to try and 'fuck em up' yet. What a novel idea that nobody in power could ever see coming.

These people are in power.

It shouldn't bother me as much as it does that despite everything visibly getting worse in real time around us, and fascism literally being on the rise everywhere, there's still people pushing dangerously stupid propaganda like this thread claiming the earth can support billions more people and that perfect communism is possible.

The mental gymnastics involved here require an ice pick to the brain.
