      Aussie Scientist 1: “Oi, do you think her bedroom eyes are sexy enough?”

      Aussie Scientist 2: “Looks good mate, but what if we also.give her some huge melons.”

      Aussie Scientist 1: “Rabbits don’t huge melons, that’ll be unrealistic.”

      Aussie Scientist 2: “Maybe, or the male rabbits will get a new fetish.”

          That is also a gesture of domination for them, as far as i know. They werent necessarily horny, just trying to put the other in their place

    Yes, the ruling class wants to reduce the global population, which is why the ruling class is also constantly talking about how we need to increase birthrates.

      Cost is like, towards the end of the list of why I wouldn’t have kids. It’s certainly there, but number 1 would probably be something like “I would never forgive myself for bringing another life into this shitty world unsolicited”.

          Well, if you could point out to me where I said I “have so much money”, that’d be great.

          Otherwise one of us is going to look like an idiot.

            if you can afford a child with minimal impact to your lifestyle, you are quite wealthy.

            childcare is like 2-3K a month, for that to not substantailly impact you, i would assume your take home is northwards of 10K+ a month, which means you’re making close to 200K+. which is often the income bracket at which having children is not a life-style altering choice.

            for most folks, having a kid is so expensive it completely alters their lifestyle because it removes like 30-50% of their income.

                implying children aren’t a financial burden implies you’re wealthy.

                the original post says ‘cost’ and the other person goes ‘cost isn’t a reason for me’.

                so i go ‘ok how much do you make that cost isn’t a reason for you?’ because the legit reason for the vast majority of folks, is the cost. they can’t afford kids, so they don’t have them.

    I think humanity should go extinct anyway and avoiding having children seems to be a peaceful way to do so. The more we breed the more we perpetuate the agony of existence.
