Can someone tell my body to find a less violent way to get the egg out 😭

Our bodies only know violence, look at child birth. 🥲

Coming in, and going out, of this mortal world, is very dramatic.

It's wild to think that just being born is literally the most traumatic thing that's ever happened to a newborn. One moment they're cozy inside the warm womb, the next they're ejected out like a turbulent water slide and into the most uncomfortable environment they've ever been in where everything is literally alien and new.

Maybe that's another reason why skin to skin contact is so important right after birth.

u/currentlyacathammock Nov 03 '24

Yeah, but the new neighborhood is soooo much more interesting. Also, it was getting pretty cramped in the old place anyway.

All in all, probably was a good idea to make the change.

Iirc, babies cry because their first breath burns their lungs

Thing is it's not even a "turbulent" experience average birth time is 8 -10 hours

It's like being stuck in a water slide that's too tight and it slowly squishes you out.

Then you have to learn to breath- probably hurts

Then you lose like 1/3rd your blood as your separated from the placenta.

All in all 10/10

It's probably not as traumatizing because we just forget.

Can confirm- that kid is PISSED after that water slide

Then the next thing you know people are telling you to get a job, don't do this and that, put that away because we're in public.

I'm going out the same way I came in, butt naked and screaming.

Man spends the first nine months of his existence getting out of the womb and the rest of his life trying to get back into it.

What a lovely poem

This is most likely because we are too smart and strong, and I will never fail to share this fact. Childbirth for most mammals is fairly painless, some animals like pandas have even been known to sit on their newborn and killing then because they didn’t notice they just gave birth.

Humans however have developed way too quickly for evolution to keep up with such an indirectly related topic. Our brains are so big that they need a giant skull to exist, one way too big for the pelvis we developed, which is why it’s so painful to get the child out of our body

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

From the moment I first witnessed the interlopers, they disgusted me. Eons we slumbered, waiting to reclaim our galaxy. Only for it to become infested with vermin, that proliferated in our absence. Now, we awaken to retake what is ours. Wretched amalgamations of meat and metal, shackled to ignorance by your faith. Do you truly believe you can stop us? We who have shattered our very gods and enslaved them to our will. The stars were young when our empire was ascendant. And when the last of them die, we alone will remain. For we are immortal.

u/ImprovementApart1336 Nov 03 '24

Eff you machine

u/PitifulEar3303 Nov 03 '24

The machine is harder than the penis, it will break before the steel.

u/CompromisedToolchain Nov 03 '24

Your steel utterly lacks the ability to repair or clone itself.

u/PitifulEar3303 Nov 03 '24

Holy lol maintenance and production.

u/Significant-Tea-3286 Nov 03 '24

In the name of the Omnissiah we pray my this machine never fail and steel never weaken and inr the name of the sprocket the screw and the teeth between the two.

Even if they fail, we could repair and replace them, upgrade them, forever, as the emperor is eternal.

Flesh, just becomes fertilizers.

u/Habagoobie Nov 03 '24

I don't get very bad period cramps (anymore), but I absolutely feel myself ovulating. It hurts! Good ol' mittelschmerz.

u/NecessaryWeather4275 Nov 03 '24

It looks very much like it feels sometimes.

😳🥴….i have cramps…

Turns into

😳🥴….my body just exploded internally and I must go recover….

Internal combustion engine. No wonder men love women.

u/NecessaryWeather4275 Nov 04 '24

We are the ultimate motor they can never figure out….well some of them, unfortunately.

u/Fluffy_Art_1015 Nov 04 '24

Well you didn’t think doctors wanted to study WOMEN did you? Far too complicated.

My wife gets ovarian cysts quite often and this helps me understand immediately what’s going on and why them not popping out like they should would hurt.

34

u/Astridandthemachine Nov 03 '24

The ovary and the tube aren't connected so the only option is to SHOOT

u/WhatTheFuckEverName Nov 03 '24

It's almost like a glitter bomb... a bloody glitter bomb.
