‘Religion is a fable created by the ancients, useful only for those who wish to exploit the credulous masses. Do not suppose the statements of the Prophets to be true; they are all fabrications. Men lived comfortably until they came and spoiled life. The sacred books are only such a set of idle tales as any age could have and did indeed actually produce.’ - Al-Ma’arri, Syrian philosopher (11th century)

Stupid Babies
November 26, 2023 at 12:10 pm
In an experiment conducted at the University of Woolamoloo, it was determined that, among week-old babies, none of them could read, do simple sums, or dress themselves. None appeared to be gainfully employed.
Idiots.

Unfortunately, a good number of them have already peaked.

One would probably get the same three response if adults were tested ... but probably a lot less than 5% would quickly suss what was going on.
It was also noted how mothers tend to respond to their new-born babies:
Some immediately focus on their baby's head ...
... others check the other end.

I like to tell people that I was very young when I was born, couldn't walk, couldn't talk, couldn't wipe my own ass.

You are simply trolling at this point.

I'm tempted to start a thread where we can discuss the fact that not all babies are cute. Some are downright ugly...that's where we get the saying - A face only a mother could love.

I used to think all babies were cute, then, my cousin was born, my initial thought was:
"I don't think it's done, you have to put it back in."
